SIHASAPAKHCHA SlJAME

Hayden visited their country that definite 

 information in regard to them was ob- 

 tained. The former (1856) makes the 

 following brief notes: "Sihasapas Black- 

 feet. Haunts and homes same as the 

 Unkpapas; number, 165 lodges. These 

 two bands have very little respect for the 

 power of the whites. . . . Many of 

 the depredations along the Platte are com- 

 mitted by the Unkpapas and Sihasapas, 

 whose homes are farther from it than 

 those of any other of the Ti ton wans." 

 Hayden ( 1862) says that they, the Hunk- 

 papa and Sans Arcs, "occupy nearly the 

 same district, and are so often encamped 

 near each other, and otherwise so con- 

 nected in their operations, as scarcely to 

 admit of being treated of separately. 

 That part of the country under their 

 control lies along the Moreau, Cannon- 

 ball, Heart, and Grand rs., seldom ex- 

 tending very high up on Grand r. , but of 

 late years reaching to the Little Missouri 

 [in North Dakota]. Although the bands 

 just mentioned are often stationed near 

 each other, they are sometimes found 

 several days' journey apart, and each is 

 headed by its own chief." His estimate 

 is 220 lodges. Subsequently the Sihasapa 

 were gathered partly at Cheyenne River 

 res., S. Dak., and partly at Standing Rock 

 res., N. Dak. The number on the.former 

 in 1878 was 224, and on the latter 590, a 

 total of 814. They are no longer sepa- 

 rately reported. J. O. Dorsey mentions 

 the following bands: 1, Sihasapakhcha; 

 2, Kanghishunpegnaka; 3, Glaglahecha; 

 4, Wazhazhe; 5, Hohe; 6, Wamnughaoin. 

 Swift (1884) gives the same divisions, 

 except that he omits Glaglahecha and 

 includes Tizaptan. The first and third 

 were given in a list of bands by Culbert- 

 son (1850), who enumerates also the 

 Cuts, Those That Camp Next To The 

 Last, Tashunkeota, and Devil's Medicine- 

 man Band.

Sijame. A tribe, either Tonkawan or 

 Coahuiltecan, represented in considerable 

 numbers between 1719 and 1763 at San 

 Antonio de Valero mission, Texas. It 

 was mentioned as early as 1716 by Espi- 

 nosa, who encountered some of its mem- 

 bers in a rancheria in central Texas with 

 Pamaya, Payaya, Xarame, and others 

 (Diario, MS. in Archivo Gen., Prov. 

 Intern., clxxxi). In 1727 Rivera listed 

 them as a tribe of Coahuila, which, if he 

 were correct, would place them w. of 

 San Antonio (Diario, leg. 2763, 1736). 

 They are also given by Orozco y Berra 

 as a Coahuila tribe (Geog., 306, 1864), 

 but other evidence seems rather to place 

 them farther e. 



A child of gentile Sijames was baptized 

 at San Antonio de Valero as early as 

 1719, the second year of the mission's 

 existence ( Valero Bautismos, partida 47, 

 1719) . Baptisms of members of the tribe 

 are recorded there as late as 1761, and 

 burials as late as 1763 (ibid., partida 1469; 

 Entierros, partida 1212). Before 1740 

 the number of the tribe coming to the 

 mission was small, but in that year they 

 entered in considerable numbers, appar- 

 ently coming with the Sana, Mayeye, 

 Emet, Tuu, Ervipiame, Caguas (Cavas), 

 Zorquan, and others. This close associa- 

 tion with the tribes named is an indica- 

 tion of a central Texas habitat and of 

 Tonkawan affiliation. On this point see 

 Sana. A considerable list of personal 

 names of members of the above tribes 

 has been pres -rved and will probably 

 make it possible to settle definitely their 

 linguistic affinity. Names of some mem- 

 bers of the Sijame tribe, represented 

 by Spanish orthography, w^ere as follows: 

 Pererqueguita, Amatmesat, Teamo, Cin- 

 maiaia, Apenujume, Pautenejera, Tecu- 

 merea, Ostaia, Pozoa, Maiaya, Comeca- 

 guagua, and Ameterajera. All but the 

 last two names were of men or boys, 

 these two being of women, (h. e. b. )
