Wiwash. That part of the Nanticoke

 main body moved northward. In 1792 

 they numbered perhaps 30 or 40 souls, in 

 a village of 7 houses called Locust Neck- 

 town, on Choptank r. in Dorchester co. —

Wiweakain {Wl^tvagam, 'true frog 

 tribe'). Two Lekwiltok gentes, one be- 

 longing to the Wiwekae sept, the other 

 to the Kueha. There seems to be con- 

 siderable confusion between the people 

 bearing this name and those called 

 Wikae. The population of each is 

 enumerated separately in the Canadian 

 Indian Affairs reports, and in 1909 the 

 number of persons in this division was 

 placed at 77. In 1885 their principal 

 town was called Tatapowis. (j. r. s.)

Wiyahawir ( WV-ya-ha-wir). A former 

 village of the Kikatsik Shasta on the 

 right bank of Shasta r., below Montague, 

 Siskiyou co. , Cal. The name ( We-o-how ) 

 was incorrectly applied by Steele (Ind. 

 Aff. Rep. 1864, 120, 1865) to all the Shasta 

 occupying the E. side of Shasta r., giving 

 it as their own name. (r. b. d.)

 house,' from the large cave in their country).

 as a whole. Waiyat is the Karok name

Wizikute ( 'Pine Shooter' ). The great 

 chief of the Sioux when Hennepin (who 

 referred to him as Ouasicoude) was among 

 them in 1680. His home was at the head 

 of Rum r., Minn. He seems to have been 

 a wise and good man, who protected the 

 French from the cupidity of some of 

 the other chiefs. When Hennepin and 

 Du Luth were about to return to Canada, 

 Wizikute supplied them with an abund- 

 ance of wild oats, and " with a pencil, he 

 marked down on a sheet of paper, which 

 I had left, the course that we were to 

 keep for 400 leagues together. In short, 

 this natural geographer described our 

 way eo exactly that this chart served us 

 as well as any compass could have done, 

 for by observing it punctually we arrived 

 at the place designed without losing our 

 way in the least." (d. r. ) 



Woapikamikunk ( ' at the place where 

 there is much white earth.' — Gerard). 

 The largest of 6 Delaware villages in the

 in 1818.

 Woapikamikunk. — Ibid., 124. 



Woccon. A small tribe formerly inhab- 

 iting E. North Carolina, related linguistic- 

 ally to theCatawba, henceof Siouan stock. • 

 All that is known of them is recorded by 

 Lawson, who states that about 1710 they 

 lived 2 leagues from the Tuscarora on the 

 lower Neuse in 2 villages, Yupwauremau 

 and Tooptatmeer, having 120 warriors. 

 In his map of 1709, reproduced bv Hawks 

 (Hist. No. Car., ii, 104, 1859), he places 

 them between Neuse r. and one of its 

 affluents, perhaps about the present 

 Goldsboro, Wayne co. They joined the 

 Tuscarora against the whites in the war
