Sahuaripa ( ' at the [place of the] sa- 

 guaro,' referring to the Cereus giganteus) . 

 A former Jova pueblo, containing also 

 some Opata and Eudeve, situated on an 

 E. branch of Yaqui r. , lat. 29° 30^ Ion. 109°, 

 Sonora, Mexico. It was the seat of a 

 Spanish mission founded in 1627. Pop. 

 682 in 1678; 150 in 1730. The inhab- 

 itants, also called Sahuaripa, probably 

 spoke a language slightly differing from 

 Opata proper. Sahuaripa is now a civil- 

 ized community of nearly 3,000 inhabi- 

 tants.

Saia. The name which the Hupa em- 

 ploy, when speaking to white people, to 

 designate the Athapascans to the s. of 

 themselves, on Mad r. and the tributaries 

 of Eel r., Cal. Through misunderstand- 

 ing this name was given these people 

 when they were taken prisoners by the 

 military in 1862 and removed to a reser- 

 vation on Smith r., in what is now Del 

 Norte CO., where some of them remained 

 until that reservation was abandoned in 

 1868. They were then removed to Hupa 

 valley, where, ill-treated by the Hupa, 

 they eked out a pitiful existence for 10 

 years, finally drifting back to their old 

 neighborhood. They closely resembled 

 the Wailaki in language and customs. 

 Spalding (Ind. Aff. Rep., 82, 1870) gave 

 their population as 27 men and 46 women. 

 In 1877 they were nearly extinct. They 

 were once among the bravest of the Cali- 

 fornia Indians. (p. e. g.)

Saint. For additional saint names, see 

 the Synonymy at the end of this volume. 



Saint Andre. A dependency of the Mis- 

 sion des Apotres which was founded in 

 1640 and abandoned in the following year; 

 situated in one of the 9 towns of the Tion- 

 ontati, an Iroquoian tribe inhabiting the 

 hill country s. and s. w. of Nottawasaga 

 bay, in Grey, Bruce, and Huron counties, 

 Ontario. The only known reference to 

 this mission is given in the Jesuit Rela- 

 tion for 1640, 95, ed. 1858.

 ent Frederickton, N. B. — Shea, Cath. 

 Miss., 154, 1855. 



Saint Antoine. A Huron village in 1640, 

 and one of the dependencies of Mission de 

 la Conception, established amongthe Bear 

 tribe; situated probably in Sin)coe co., 

 Ontario (Jes. Rel. 1640, 78, 1858). Noth- 

 ing is known of its history or of its exact 

 position. (j. N. B. H.) 



Saint Augustine. A Nascapee and Mon- 

 tagnais station at the mouth of St Au- 

 gustine r., on the n. shore of St Lawrence 

 gulf, Quebec. 



Sainte Elisabeth. An Algonquian vil- 

 lage among the Hurons in Ontario in the 

 17th century. 

 Saincte Elizabeth.— Jes. Rel. 1G40, 90, 1858. 



Saint Francis. A Catholic mission vil- 

 lage, occupied principally by Abnaki, on 

 St Francis r., near Pierre ville, Yamaska 

 district, Quebec. After the removal of 

 the Christian Indians hither from Chau- 

 diere r. they received constant accessions 

 from the Abnaki and Pennacook, especi- 

 ally the former, who had been driven out 

 of New England by the advance of the 

 English settlements. After the death of 

 Pere Rasles in 1724 the greater part of the 

 Abnaki fled to St Francis, which thus be- 

 came an Abnaki village. The Arosagun- 

 tacook acquired the leading position, and 

 their dialect is that now used in the 

 village. At the beginning of the French 

 and Indian war in 1754 a large number 

 of the hostile Scaticook joined the settle- 

 ment. As the St Francis Indians had 

 been driven from their homes, they retali- 

 ated upon the New England settlers at 

 every opportunity and soon became noted 

 as the bitterest enemies of the English 

 colonies. In 1759 a force was organized 

 and sent under Maj. Rogers against the 

 village, which then contained about 700 

 inhabitants. St Francis was surprised 

 and burned, 200 of the Indians — men, 

 women, and children — being killed, and 

 the remainder scattered. These after- 

 ward returned, and the village was re- 

 built, but the fall of the French power in 

 America put an end to further hostility on 

 the part of the Indians. A number of 

 them joined the British forces in the 

 Revolution, and again in the War of 1812,
