SUAHPI SUCCOTASH 



[B. A. E. 



latchea made by this family. According 

 to tradition, part of the Stustas, includ- 

 ing that to which the chief himself be- 

 longed, came down from Stikine r. in 

 the Tlingit country, while the rest were 

 from the country of the Nass people. 

 Edenshaw (q. v. ), the name of the chief, 

 was also brought along from the Stikine. 

 A chief of this family was very friendly 

 to the whites, and it was largely through 

 his influence that a mission was estab- 

 lished at Masset. The Stustas land lay 

 principally around Naikun and in Naden 

 harbor, but their chief town was Kiusta, 

 on the coast opposite North id. There 

 were many subdivisions: Kawas, Kang- 

 guatl-lanas, Hiielung-keawai, Hlielung- 

 stustae, Naikun-stustae, Chawagis-stustae, 

 and the Yadus of Alaska, the last being 

 still further subdivided. (j. r. s. )

Succotash. A corruption of a Narra- 

 ganeet name for an ear of corn, long mis- 

 applied by English-speaking people to a 

 preparation of green corn cut from the 

 CO b, and transversely cut string-beans or 

 shelled lima-beans boiled with the addi- 

 tion of milk, butter, and seasoning. 



Roger Williams (1643) gives msickqua- 

 tash {m' sikwatash) as the name for a boiled 

 ear of corn, although the word signifies 

 simply an ear of corn whether boiled or 

 raw. Just when the name in a slightly 

 more corrupt form was misapplied is not 

 certain, since a gap occurs in the history 

 of the word between 1643 and 1778, when 

 it appears, in the form of "succatash," 

 in Carver's Travels, a widely-read book 

 in the time of its author. Carver de- 

 scribes "succatash" as a dish composed 

 of corn, beans, and bear's flesh. The 

 word is next mentioned by Jeremy Bel- 

 knap (1792) in the form "succotash." 



The Narraganset word m' sikwatash 

 means 'the grains are whole (or entire),' 

 i. e. not cracked or broken by pounding. 

 The Caniba (Norridgewock) name mesi- 

 kutar has the same meaning ("ble qui 

 n'est pas pile."— Rille). The old Abnaki 

 inanimate plural was r instead of sh. The
