Doha´, Doha´te, or Doha´-sän--"Bluff" or "Little-bluff," from _do´ha´_,
_sän_, and _te_; the hereditary name of a line of chiefs in the
Kiowa tribe for nearly a century. The name has been borne by at
least four of the family, viz: (1) The first of whom there is
remembrance was originally called _Pa´-do`gâ´-i_ or _Pado'gâ_,
"White-faced-buffalo-bull" (from _pa_ and _do-`gâ´-i_), and this name
was afterward changed to _Doha´_ or _Doha´te_, "Bluff." He was also a
prominent chief. (2) His son was originally called _Ä´anoñ´te_ (a word
of doubtful etymology), and afterward took his father's name of
_Doha´te_, which was changed to _Doha´sän_, "Little Dohate," or
"Little-bluff," for distinction. He became a great chief, ruling over
the whole tribe from 1833 until his death in 1866. His portrait was
painted in 1834 by Catlin, who calls him _Teh-toot-sah_, and his name
appears on the treaty of 1837 as _To-ho-sa_, the "Top of the Mountain."
(3) His son, whose widow is Anki´mä, inherited his father's name,
Doha´sän, was also a distinguished warrior, and died about three years
ago. His scalp-shirt and war-bonnet case are now in the National Museum.
(4) The nephew of the great Doha´sän II and cousin of the last mentioned
(3) was also called Doha´sän, and always wore a silver cross with the
name "Tohasan" engraved upon it. He was the author of the Scott
calendar, and died in 1892; shortly before his death he changed his name
to _Da´npä´_, "Shoulder-blade," from _da´n_, "shoulder" (?), leaving
only Anki´mä's husband (3) to bear the hereditary name, which is now
extinct.
Doha´te-he´m-de p'a--see _Ä´pätdo´ p'a_.
Dohe´ñko--the Carrizo, and probably also the Karankawa; "shoeless
people," from _do´ti_, _heñ-_, and _ko_. The Tonkawa also called both
these tribes and others on the Texas coast the "shoeless" or "barefoot
people" (Gatschet). The Kiowa know the name Carrizo from having still
among them some captives of that tribe, and state that they wore sandals
instead of regular moccasins. Also called _Kâ´nhe´ñko_ and
_Yi´atä´teheñko_, from _kân_ and _yi´atä´te_, other synonyms for
_do´ti_, moccasin, q. v.
Dohe´ñte--"No-moccasins," or "Barefoot," a keeper of the _taíme_, who
succeeded Anso´`te in 1873 and died in the winter of 1875-76; called
_Tohaint_ by Battey.
Do´ho´n--Mandan, said to mean "last tipi," from _do´+_; an older form of
the same name is _Dowa´koho´n_, and they are also sometimes called
_Sa´bă´_, "stingy."
do´`ka´ñi--bark (of a tree); contains _ka´ni_, shell or rind.
Do´`ka´ñi k`op--"bark mountains," the Santa Rosa mountains in northern
Coahuila, Mexico.
Do´`ka´ñi-t'a`ka´-i--"Bark (mountain) Mexicans," those in the vicinity
of the Santa Rosa mountains, Coahuila (see the preceding).
