 about old Ft Alexander, Brit. Col., once an 

 important po.<t of the Hudson's Bay Co., 

 now abandoned. They were originally 

 some hundreds in number, but died off

 untilnotl5 were left in 1902 (Morice,Notes

Tautog. The blackfish ( Tatitoga ameri- 

 cana) of the New England seacoast; writ- 

 ten also tdutaug. Roger Williams (1643), 

 in his Narraganset vocabulary, has '■'tav- 

 toitog', sheepsheads." It is from this plural 



form of the word in the Algonquian dialect 

 of Rhode Island that tautog has been de- 

 rived. The Indian singular form is taut, 

 or tautau. Trumbull ( Natick Diet. , 332, 

 1903) appears not to confirm the statement 

 of Dr J. V.C. Smith that "^ort^o^is a Mohe- 

 gan word meaning 'black.'" W. R. 

 Gerard (inf'n, 1909) says: "From the 

 fact that Rosier, in an Abnaki vocabulary 

 collected in Maine in 1605, gives tattaucke 

 (taiauk) as the name for the Conner, a 

 closely related fish, it would seem that 

 tautaug is not a plural form, and that the 

 name was not confined to the Narragan- 

 set." (a. F. C. ) 



Tauxenent. A tribe of the Powhatan 

 confederacy, with principal village of the 

 same name, estimated by Smith (1608) 

 at 40 warriors, or perhaps 150 souls; 

 situated on the s. bank of the Potomac, 

 in Fairfax co., Va., about the present 

 Mount Vernon.

 s. w. coast of Florida, about 1570.^ — Fon- 

 taneda. Memoir {ca. 1575), Smith trans.,

Tave ( Ta'-ve) . A clan of the Hopi, 

 taking its name from an herb {Sarcobatus 

 vermiculatus). — Voth, Hopi Proper Names, 

 109, 1905. 



Tavibo ( ' white man ' ) . A Paiute chief, 

 born near Walker lake, Esmeralda co., 

 Nev. ; died there about 1870. He was 

 famed as a medicine-man, and when the 

 whites crowded the Indians out of the 

 mountain valleys he was interrogated as 

 to the hope of salvation. Having gone 

 up into the mountains to receive a reve- 

 lation, he prophesied that the earth would 

 swallow the white people and the Indians 

 enjoy their possessions. The people were 

 incredulous about an earthquake that 

 could discriminate between whites and 

 Indians. A second vision revealed to him, 

 therefore, that all would be engulfed, but 

 the Indians would rise again and enjoy 

 forever an abundance of game, fish, and 

 pinon nuts. Shoshoni and Bannock, as 

 well as Paiute, welcomed the pleasant 

 tidings, and devotees flocked to him from 

 Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon. When their 

 faith began to wane he received a third 

 revelation, according to which only be- 

 lievers in his prophecy would be resur- 

 rected, while skeptics would remain 

 buried in the earth with the whites. — 

 Capt. J. M. Lee quoted by Mooney in 

 14th Rep. B. A. E., 700, 1896.
