Winona ('first-born child' [if a girl], 

 in the Santee dialect). The chief village 

 of the Kiyuksa band of Mdewakanton 

 Sioux, succeeded by the present town of 

 Winona, Winona co., Minn. The name 

 was introduced to the reading public by 

 Keating, who relates, in his Narrative of 

 Long's expedition to St. Peters r., pub- 

 lished in 1823, the story of a Sioux maiden 

 who committed suicide because her rela- 

 tives sought to make her marry against

 same Indians. '

Wintun ( 'Indians,' ' people ') . One of 

 the 2 divisions of the Copehan family, 

 the other being the Patwin. The Wintun 

 territory was bounded on the n. by Mt 

 Shasta and the domain of the Lutuaniian 

 and Shastan families; on the s. by a line 

 running from the e. boundary, about 10 

 m. E. of Sacramento r., due w. through 

 Jacinto and the headwaters of Stony cr., 

 Colusa CO., Cal., to Kulanapan territory. 

 The E. boundary began at the headwaters 

 of Bear cr., bearing s. some miles e. of 

 and parallel to McCloud r. From Pit r. 

 to the neighborhood of Redding they oc- 

 cupied a triangular area e. of the Sacra- 

 mento. On the w. the Wintun territory 

 was bounded by that of the Kulanapan, 

 Yukian, Chimarikan, and Quoratean 

 families, and the Wailaki tribe. 



The Wintun division of the Copehan 

 family is rather homogeneous, the lan- 

 guage, customs, and characteristics of the 

 tribes presenting comparatively slight va- 

 riations. Powers thought the Wintun 

 were originally a sort of metropolitan 

 tribe for the whole of n. California below 

 Mt Shasta. Physically they were inclined 

 to obesity; they were indifferent hunters 

 but good fishermen, and were abundantly 

 supplied with dried salmon. Roots of 

 various kinds, manzanita berries, pinon 

 nuts, and acorns were used as food; and 

 according to Powers clover was eaten in 

 great quantities in the blossoming season. 



Dancing was a favorite amusement. Win- 

 tun marriage was of the simplest charac- 

 ter and the man seldom paid for his bride. 

 The dead were buried in ordinary graves, 

 the bodies being doubled up and wrapped 

 in mats or skins. The Wintun language 

 presents many agreements with that of 

 the Patwin division, vocabularies show- 

 ing about a third of the words to be com- 

 mon to both. For the Wintun subdi- 

 visions, see Copehan Family.

Winyaw. One of the small tribes living 

 on lower Pedee r. and its tributaries in 

 South Carolina. Of their language noth- 

 ing is known, and very little else is re- 

 corded concerning them, as they were 

 never prominent in history. It is sup- 

 posed, however, from their associations 

 that they were of Siouan affinity. They 

 dwelt on the w. side of the Pedee near 

 its mouth, about opposite the Waccamaw. 

 The 2 tribes were first mentioned in 1715 

 as being neighbors and as receiving am- 

 munition from theCheraw, whoattempted 

 to induce them to join in a league against 

 the English. Gov. Johnson in 1715 re- 

 ported them as having one village, with a 

 population of 106. After this they drop 

 from history, becoming extinct as a tribe.
