is all that remains of a nation the most warlike, most polished 

 and the most attached to the French." Their name has become 

 the generic title of a great linguistic family. They were the 

 Adirondacks of Colden. 



The Montagnais, or Montagnards, have simply a French name, 

 referring to their homes in the mountains below Quebec. 



The Abenaquiois, or Abenaki, were the Kennebecs or Eastern 

 Indians of the English, called Owenagungas by the Iroquois. 

 The Sokoquois, or Sokokis, were the Saco Indians belonging to 

 the Abenakis. They and the INIahicans are now the St Francis 

 Indians of Canada. 



The Loups, or Wolves, comprised the Schaghticoke Indians, 

 who came from New England in 1672, the Mahicans, who for- 

 merly owned Albany, and those sometimes called Mahikanders 

 or River Indians. The Iroquois called these Agotsagenens. The 

 Mohicans of New England were their kindred. The Wappingers 

 were Algonquins of the lower Hudson, and the Montauks were 

 Algonquins of Long Island. The Delawares, or Lenni-lenape, 

 were also their kindred and divided into three families, of which 

 the Munseys are best known. Their early homes were on the 

 Delaware. There were many minor divisions, but the Minquas 

 or Mengwe must not be classed with these as Ruttenber has done. 



The Ottawas were the Utawawas and Dowaganhaes, or Far 

 Indians, embracing several nations. Among these were the 

 Necariages or Ennikaragi. The Kiskakons made another, north 

 of Lake Huron. 



The Illinois were on the Illinois river, and were known as 

 Chictaghicks or Kichtages ; also Geghtigeghroones. Several dis- 

 tinct tribes were included under this name. East of them the 

 Miamis, Oumiamis or Weas, were called Twightwees by the 

 Iroquois. The migratory Shawnees, or Shaounons, were also 

 Satanas. The first name relates to their southern origin. 



The Ojibwas, or Chippewas, were called Ostiagaghroones by 

 the Iroquois. The Saulteurs of the Sault Ste Marie were part 

 of these, known as Estiaghicks. The Mississagas belonged to 

 them, but came east from Lake Huron.
