side of Red River and even after the Civil War, the last reference 

 appearing in the report of the United States Office of Indian Affairs 

 for 1878. 



Hainai population. — ^Latc eighteenth century Spanish sources give 

 80 warriors, and in 1805 Sibley reported the same number, having 

 perhaps copied the earlier figure. The United States Office of Indian 

 Affairs returned 113 in 1851. In 1864 there were 150 refugee Hainai 

 in Kansas. In 1872 the same source gives 85 Hainai and in 1873, the 

 last time they were separately enumerated, 50. (See S wanton, 1942, 

 pp. 16-25.) 



HATTERAS 



An Algonquian tribe reported by Lawson as living about Cape Hat- 

 teras, N. C, in 1709, and frequenting Roanoke Island. They showed 

 traces of white blood and claimed to have had some white ancestors. 

 Therefore, they may have been identical with the Croatan Indians 

 with whom Raleigh's colonists are supposed to have taken refuge. 

 Nothing further is heard regarding them. 



Hatteras population. — ^Their single settlement. Sandbanks, is said 

 to have had only 16 warriors, perhaps 89 inhabitants, at the date 

 above given. 



HTTiTBI 



A Muskogee town and subtribe in the Creek Confederation. This 

 is said to have been built up originally of outcasts from other villages. 

 It is perhaps the Ilapi which Ran j el mentions as a town near Cofi- 

 tachequi where the bulk of De Soto's army was sent for provisions in 

 May 1540. This place was near the site of the present Augusta, Ga. 

 In northwestern Georgia is an affluent of the Chattahoochee called 

 Hillabeehatchee, which probably indicates the position of a former 

 Hilibi settlement. Bishop Calderon of Cuba, in the report of his 

 visit to Florida in 1675, lists a town called "Ilapi" among the Lower 

 Creeks and another, "Hilapi," in the Upper division of the tribe. 

 In or before the eighteenth century, the tribe was already located 

 on an affluent of the Tallapoosa, with which it was afterward asso- 

 ciated until the removal to Oklahoma. In 1799 Hawkins enumer- 

 ates four branch villages belonging to Hilibi, one of which, Okta- 

 hasasi, seems to have maintained an independent existence for a 

 considerable period. An almost equally important branch, not men- 

 tioned by him, was Kitcopataki. After the removal, the Hilibi re- 

 established their Square Ground near Hanna, Okla., where it was 

 maintained until as late as 1929. Hilibi became the residence some- 

 time in the latter part of the eighteenth century of a very intelligent 

 Scotch trader named Robert Grierson, from whom the noted and 

 influential Grayson family is descended.
