people received him with flights of arrows, and on his return used 

 peacemaking overtures as a mask for a treacherous but futile attack 

 upon his force. Four years later, Tonti made peace with the tribe. 

 In 1699 Iberville hunted for them in vain, but lat^r learned that they 

 were identical with the Mugulasha then living with the Bayogoula 

 (q. V.) about 20 leagues above their former settlement. According to 

 Sauvolle, however, the Quinipissa were not identical with the Mugul- 

 asha, but had united with them. In any case, there can be no doubt 

 that the chief of the Quinipissa in 1682 and 1686 was the same man as 

 the chief of the Mugulasha in 1699. In May 1700, shortly after Iber- 

 ville had visited them for the second time, the Mugulasha were at- 

 tacked and almost completely destroyed by their fellow townsmen, the 

 Bayogoula. The destruction was not as complete probably as the 

 French writers would have us believe, but we do not hear of either 

 Mugulasha or Quinipissa afterward, and the remnant must have 

 united with the Bayogoula or Houma, the latter having been their 

 allies. 



Quinipissa population. — The Mugulasha and Bayogoula together 

 are said to have had 100 cabins, the same number of warriors, and a 

 total population of 400-500 in 1699. Gravier says that more than 200 

 were killed in the massacre the following year, but the whole tribe 

 can hardly have numbered many more than this. (See Bayogoula.) 



SALUDA 



On the manuscript map of George Hunter ( 1730) , in connection with 

 a place name, we read "Salude town where a nation settled 35 years 

 ago, removed 18 years to Conestogo in Pensilvania." Milling points 

 out that this would indicate an occupancy from 1695 to 1712 (in- 

 clusive evidently). The above information also appears in the Jef- 

 ferys Atlas, and the site is indicated on several other maps of the 

 early eighteenth century. Although Siouan tribes occupied the coun- 

 try east of this point and Muskhogeans that to the west, it is probable 

 that the Saluda were a band of Shawnee Indians on their way from 

 the neighborhood of Augusta to Pennsylvania, whither so many of 

 the Savannah River Shawnee are known to have gone. 



Saluda population, — There is no clue to this. 



SANTEE 



The earliest mention of this tribe appears to be in the relation by 

 the Spanish navigator Egija of his second expedition dated 1609. 

 They were then on the river which bears their name, where they were 

 again found by the English at the time when they settled the province 

 of South Carolina, 61 years later. Here they were visited by Law-
