[Footnote 83: Vimont (_Relation_, 1640, p. 35) gives information derived from Nicolet, of the existence of the Illinois (Eriniouaj) as neighbors of the Winnebagoes. And the _Relation_, 1656 (p. 39), says: "The Liniouek [Illinois], their neighbors [that is, the neighbors of the Winnebagoes], number about sixty villages." Champlain locates a tribe, on his map of 1632, south of the Mascoutins, as a "nation where there is a quantity of buffaloes." This nation was probably the Illinois.] [Footnote 84: As Nicolet proceeded no further to the westward than six days' sail up the Fox river of Green bay, of course, the "Nadvesiv" (Sioux) and "Assinipour" (Assiniboins) were not visited by him.] [Footnote 85: Synonyms: Pottawottamies, Poutouatamis, Pouteouatamis, Pouutouatami, Poux, Poueatamis, Pouteouatamiouec, etc.] [Footnote 86: Such, at least, was their location a few years after the visit of Nicolet. The islands occupied were those farthest south.] [Footnote 87: Vimont, _Relation_, 1640, p. 35. In the _Relation_ of 1643, it is expressly stated that Nicolet visited some of the tribes on his return voyage.] [Footnote 88: Says Margry (_Journal Général de l'Instruction Publique_, 1862): "Les peuples que le pére dit avoir été pour la plupart visités par Nicolet sont les Malhominis ou Gens de la Folle Avoine [_Menomonees_], les Ouinipigous ou Puans [_Winnebagoes_], puis les Pouteouatami [_Pottawattamies_], les Eriniouaj (ou Illinois)," etc.] [Footnote 89: It is highly probable that Nicolet commenced his return trip so soon, in the spring of 1635, as the warm weather had freed Green bay of its coat of ice. Leaving the Winnebagoes, as soon as navigation opened in the spring, he would have only about ten weeks to reach the St. Lawrence by the middle of July--the time, probably, of his return, as previously mentioned; whereas, having left Quebec July 2, for the west, he had about five months before navigation closed on the lakes, to arrive out. Sault Sainte Marie must, of necessity, therefore, have been visited in _going to_ the Winnebagoes.] [Footnote 90: "To the south of the Nation of the Beaver is an island, in that fresh-water sea [Lake Huron], about thirty leagues in length, inhabited by the Outaouan [Ottawas]. These are a people come from the nation of the Standing Hair [Cheveux Relevés]."--Vimont, _Relation_, 1640, p. 34. In William R. Smith's translation of so much of this _Relation_ as names the various tribes visited by Nicolet (Hist. Wis., Vol. III., p. 10), what relates to the Cheveux Relevés is omitted--probably by accident. On a large island, corresponding as to locality with the Great Manitoulin, is placed, on Du Creux' Map of 1660, the "natio surrectorum capillorum"--identical with the Cheveux Relevés, just mentioned.
