Isanties, or Esanties, the name 
which is applied to the Dakotas of 
the Mississippi and Minnesota by 
those living on the Missouri. Why 
this name has been given to them 
by their brethren is still a matter 
of conjecture; perhaps, because 
they pitched their tents formerly 
at Isantamde, or Knife Lake, one 
of those which go under the de- 
nomination of Mille Laces; or, per- 
haps, it was given to them because 
they lived nearer the Isantanka, or 
Big-knives, 2. e., the Americans.
