[B. A. B. 



1870. The Rev. John Edwards charac- 

 terized Wright as "a man of large intel- 

 ligence, good mind, an excellent preacher, 

 and a very faithful laborer for the good 

 of his people. No other Choctaw that I 

 ever met could give such a clear explana- 

 tion of difficult points in the grammar of 

 the Choctaw." About 1873 he trans- 

 lated the Chickasaw constitution, which 

 was published by the Chickasaw Nation, 

 and in 1880 he published a "Chahta 

 Leksikon." Just before his death he 

 completed the translation of the Psalms 

 from Hebrew into Choctaw. Soon after 

 his graduation Mr Wright married Miss 

 Harriet Newell Mitchell, of Dayton, 

 Ohio, to whom were born several chil- 

 dren, including Eliphalet Nott Wright, 

 M. D., of Olney, Okla.; Rev. Frank Hall 

 Wright, of Dallas, Texas; Mrs Mary 

 Wallace and Mrs Anna W. Ludlow, of 

 Wapanucka, Okla.; Allen Wright, jr., 

 a lawyer of South McAlester, Okla. ; Mrs 

 Clara E. Richards, Miss Kathrine Wright, 

 and James B. Wright, C. E., all of Wa- 

 panucka, Okla. For Mr Wright's por- 

 trait, see Choctmv.

Wukoki ( 'great house or village' ). A 

 group of ruined pueblos w. of the Great 

 falls and the Black falls of Little Colorado 

 r., about 40 m. n. e. of Flagstaff, Ariz. 

 Both archeological and traditionary evi- 

 dence indicate that they were erected in 

 prehistoric times by the Snake clan of the 

 Hopi and formed one of its stopping places 

 in its migration from the n. to its present 

 habitations in n. e. Arizona. See Fewkes 

 in 22d Rep. B. A. E., 56 et seq., 1904. 

 Black falls ruins. — Fewkes, ibid., 41. 



Wukopakabi ( ' great reed or arrow 

 house'). A ruined pueV)lo, consisting of 

 a number of mounds very much worn 

 down, covering a rather small site, at 

 Ganado, on the road between Ft Defiance 

 and Keams canyon, Ariz. It is locally 

 known as Pueblo Ganado and Pueblo 



Colorado. It was inhabited in ancient 

 times by the Pakab or Reed people of the 

 Hopi, who migrated from Wukopakabi to 

 Awatobi (q. v.). After the destruction 

 of the latter village, in 1700, they went 

 to the Middle mesa of the Hopi and 

 founded a town on the e. side; subse- 

 quently they moved to Walpi, on the East 

 mesa, where their descendants now live. 

 These people, as their name signifies, 

 were warriors, and traditionally they are 

 related to the Zufii. Their descendants 

 hold at the present time, in December, a 

 war celebration. (.t. w. p. )

Wunnashowatuckoog ( 'people at the 

 fork of the river'). A Nipmuc tribe 

 or band formerly living in the s. part of 

 Worcester co. , Mass. , probably on Black- 

 stone r. They adjoined the Narraganset, 

 to whom they were said to be subject, 

 although the two tribes are known to 

 have been at war. They sheltered the 

 hostile Pequot in 1637, and for this were 

 attacked by the eastern Nipmuc and, 

 being defeated, retreated toward the Mo- 

 hawk country. They seem to have re- 

 turned again, for in 1675 we find the 

 English interfering to protect them from 

 inroads of the Mohegan and Narraganset.
