Page 45 - Sennecaas (Visscher's map, ca. 1660), became the tribal name of the Seneca by a process of elimination which excluded from the group and from the connotation of the general name the nearer tribes as each with its own proper native name became known to the Europeans. Obviously, the last remaining tribe of the group would finally acquire as its own the general name of the group. The Delaware name for the Seneca was...
Page 19 - Tewa has been made, and it is found that they are as elaborate as related practices of the Taos people. The San Ildefonso inhabitants do not seem to have changed their early customs regarding land tenure, and they adhere tenaciously to their marriage customs and birth rites, notwithstanding the long period during which missionaries have been among them.

Page 45 - it is a standing or projecting stone', employed as an ethnic appellative. The derivation of Sinnekens from Mohegan appears to be as follows: a'sinni, 'a stone, or rock', -tfco or -iga, denotive of ' place of ', or ' abundance of ', and the final -ens supplied by the Dutch genitive plural ending, the whole Mohegan synthesis meaning ' place of the standing stone'; and with a suitable pronominal affix, like o- or wa-.
Page 47 - ... At a short distance from this place the same Seneca ambushed a British force composed of two companies of troops who were hastening to the aid of the supply train, only eight of whom escaped massacre. These bloody and harsh measures were the direct result of the general unrest of the Six Nations and the western tribes, arising from the manner of the recent occupancy of the posts by the British, after the surrender of Canada by the French on Sept. 8, 1760. They contrasted the sympathetic and bountiful...
