[b. a. e. 



Tadeovaqni. A rancheria, probably of 

 the Maricopa, on the Rio Gila, Ariz. ; vis- 

 ited by Kino and Mange in 1699. Sedel- 

 mair (1749) mentions the place as afford- 

 ing a good site for a mission.

Tadji-lanas ( Td^dji Wnas, or Tds Wnas, 

 'sand-town people'). Two important 

 Haida families belonging to the Raven 

 clan. It would probably be truer to say 

 that they were two parts of one family, al- 

 though they came to be widely separated 

 geographically. According to tradition 

 this family and 4 others once lived togeth- 

 er in a town near Sand Spit pt., Queen 

 Charlotte ids., composed of 5 rows of 

 houses. Thoseinthefrontrowwerecalled 

 Tadji-lanas, because they were close to the 

 beach; those in the next, Kuna-lanas 

 ( ' Point-town people' ), because their row 

 ran out on a point; those in the third, 

 Yaku-lanas ('Middle-town people'), be- 

 cause they occupied the middle row; those 

 in the fourth, Koetas ( ' Earth-eaters ' ), be- 

 cause they lived near the trails where it 

 was very muddy; and those in the fifth, 

 Stlenga-lanas ('Rear-town people'), be- 

 cause they lived farthest back. Another 

 tradition relates that this family, together 

 with the Kagials-kegawai of Skedans, 

 sprang from a woman who was on House 

 id. ( Atana) when it rose out of the flood. 

 One branch were reckoned among the 

 Gunghet-haidagai, and a subdivision 

 called Kaidju-kegawai owned the south- 

 ernmost town on the island. By a curi- 

 ous coincidence the northern division, 

 after living for a while on the n. w. coast 

 of Graham id., came to occupy Kasaan 

 in Alaska, the most northerly Haida 

 town. The Gunghet branch is almost 

 extinct. f j. r. s. )

Taensa. A tribe related in language and 

 customs to the Natchez, from whom they 

 must have separated shortly before the be- 

 ginning of the historic period. There is 

 reason to think that part of theTaensa were 

 encountered by De Soto in 1540, but the 

 first mention of them under their proper 

 name is by La Salle and his companions, 

 who visited them in 1682 on their way to 

 the mouth of the Mississippi. They were 

 then living on L. St Joseph, an ox-bow 

 cut-off of the Mississippi in the pres- 

 ent Tensas parish. La. Tonti stopped at 

 their villages in 1686 and 1690, and in 

 1698 they were visited by Davion, La 

 Source, and De Montigny, the last of 

 whom settled among them as missionary 

 the following year. In 1700 Iberville 

 found him there, and the two returned 

 together to the Natchez, De Montigny 

 having decided to devote his attention to 

 that tribe. St Cosme, who soon suc- 

 ceeded De Montigny among the Natchez, 

 considered the Taensa too much reduced 

 for a separate mission, and endeavored, 

 without success, to draw them to the 

 Natchez. In 1706 the fear of an attack 

 from the Yazoo and Chickasaw induced 

 the Taensa to abandon their settlements 

 and take refuge with the Bayogoula, 

 whom they soon after attacked treacher- 

 ously and almost destroyed. After they 

 had occupied several different positions 

 along the Mississippi southward of the 

 Manchac, Bienville invited them to settle 

 near Mobile and assigned them lands not 

 far from his post. They remained here 

 many years, giving their name to Tensaw 

 r. ; but in 1764, rather than pass under 

 the English, they removed to Red r., in 

 company with a number of the other 

 small tribes in their neighborhood. The 

 same year, in company with the Apa- 

 lachee and Pakana, they applied to the 

 French commandant for permission to 

 settle on Bayou LaFourche; Imt, though 

 it was granted, neither they nor the Apa-
