WAUMEGESAKO, 



SESSION 



THE WAMPUM." 'FROM A PAINTING IN POS- 



TME Wisconsin Historical Society) 



Waumegesako ( Wemigtsiked, * He who 

 makes the miyls, or sacred Bhell,' i. e. 

 'Sacred-shell maker.' — J. A. Gilfillan. 

 Also known as The Wampum, and 

 "Mexico"). A leading Chippewa, born 

 about 1789, head chief of a mixed band 

 of Chippewa, Potawatomi, and Ottawa 

 residing at Manitowoc, Wis., where he 

 died in 1844. He took a prominent part 

 in the treaties of Butte des Morts in 1827, 

 Green Bav in 1828, Prairie du Chien in 

 1829, and Chicago in 1833. At the last 

 treaty, ratified in 1835, the Indian title 

 was extinguished to all the tract of coun- 

 try commencing at Grosse Point, 9 m. n. 

 of Chicago, to the source of Milwaukee 

 r., thence w. to Rock r. A portrait of 

 Waumegesako was painted by Healey, an 

 Irish artist, in 1839, a copy of which is 

 in the collection of the Wisconsin His- 

 torical Society. In appreciation of his 

 friendly attitude toward the early settlers, 

 the citizens of Manitowoc have erected 

 a monument to Waumegesako's meuiory. 



Wanregan. A word of frequent occur- 

 rence in the earlier literature of New 

 England. Bartlett (Diet, of American- 

 isms, 741, 1877) states that it was still 

 local in and al)out Norwich, Conn., in 

 the sense of fine or showy. The word is 

 famous through Dr Elisha Tracy's epi- 

 taph on the tombstone of Uncas, the- 

 ]\Iohegan sachem: 



" For courage bold, for things wauregan, 

 He was the glory of Moheagon." 



Wauregan, according to Gerard, is a 

 corrupt form of wurujcn, an inanimate 

 adjective (of which the animate form is 

 wurlgn) belonging to an /i-dialect of New 

 England, and meaning 'it is good (fine, 

 pretty, etc.)'; cognate Avith Massachuset 

 mini gen, Lenape (Delaware) ivulTgen, etc. 

 As a place name the word survives in 

 Wauregan, a village in Windham co., 

 Conn. (a. P. c.)

 torchlight fishing lake.' — Gerard). A

 customed to fish by torchlight.
