Wyandot. — Continued. 



1855, when tribal relations were for a 

 short 'time abolished. For their vil- 

 lages, see Iroquoian. 



There is some confusion in regard 

 to the Wyandot gentes. From all 

 that can be learned there seems to be 

 no doubt that the three divisions of 

 the old Hurons, above mentioned, 

 were either gentes or phratries. Of 

 these the Bear nation held the prin- 

 cipal place, and at the Maumee con- 

 ference in 1793 the Bear was the 

 totem affixed to the signature of the 

 Wyandots. In 1736 Chauvignerie 

 gave their totems as the Turtle, 

 Beaver, and Plover, while in 1761 

 Jefferys gave them as the Bear or Roe- 

 buck, Wolf, and Tortoise, while he 

 states their tribal totem to be the 

 Porcupine. The Tionontati gentes 

 were probably added to those of the 

 Hurons after 1650. According to 

 Powell (Abst. Trans. Anth. Soc. 

 Wash, pp. 77-8, 18S1) the Wyandots, 

 at the time of leaving Ohio, had eleven 

 gentes, viz. : Deer, Bear, Highland 

 Turtle (striped). Highland ^Turtle 

 (black), Mud Turtle, Smooth Large 

 Turtle, Hawk, Beaver, W^olf, Sea 

 Snake, and Porcupine. This agrees 

 with Morgan's list, excepting that 

 Morgan's Turtle gens is here sub-di- 

 vided into four gentes. These eleven 

 gentes are arranged in four phratries, 

 each having three gentes in the order 

 given above, excepting the last, which 

 has but two. According to Morgan 

 (Anc. Soc, 1:53, 1S77), they have eight 

 gentes, as follows: 



I, Ah-na-rese-kwa, bone gnawers 

 (wolf) . 2 , Ah-nu-y eh' , tree liver (bear) . 



3, Tso-ta'-ee, shy animal (beaver). 



4, Geah'-wich, fine land (turtle). 5, 

 Os-ken'-o-toh, roaming (deer). 6, 

 Sine-gain-see, creeping (snake). 7, 

 Ya-ra-hats-see, tall tree (porciipine) . 

 8, Da-soak, flying (hawk).
