The _Kannehouan_, _Tohaha_, _Pehir_, _Cagabegux_, _Onapien_, _Pickar_, _Tokau_, _Kuasses_, _Chancres_, _Teserabocretes_, _Tsepehoen_, _Fercouteha_, _Panego_, _Petao_, _Petzare_, _Peisacho_, _Peihoun_, _Orcan_ and _Piou_.[103] This last Nation borders upon the _Cenis_, at the Entrance into whose first Village I left my Reader, to give an Account of the Inhabitants, and thither I return, to proceed with my Relation and our Journey to the Village, the _French_ Man who liv’d among the Natives was to conduct us to. We arriv’d there at Night, and found other Elders coming out to meet us, much after the same Manner as the others mention’d before. They led us to their Cottage, made us sit down on Mats and smoke, but not with so much Ceremony as the others. That done, it was Time for us to take our Rest, having given them to understand that we were weary. [Sidenote: French _Entertained by the Natives_.] The _French Provencal_ would needs have us go to his Cottage, that is to the Hut where he had his Dwelling; for, as I have said, there are several Families in one of them, and that was one of the greatest in the Canton, having been the Habitation of one of their Chief’s, lately deceased. They allotted us a Place there, for our Goods and Packs, the Women immediately made _Sagamite_ or Pottage, and gave it us. Having eaten, we ask’d the _French_ Man whether we were safe, and he answering we were, we lay down, but yet could not sleep sound. [Sidenote: _Apr. 1687_] [Sidenote: _A Horse sold for an Ax._] The next Day, being the first of _April_, the Elders came to receive and conducted us to the Cottage where we had been the Day before. After the usual Ceremonies, we traded with them for Corn, Meal and Beans, giving in Exchange for the same, Needles, Knives, Rings and other Toys. We also purchased a very fine Stone Horse,[104] that would have been worth twenty Pistoles in _France_, for an Ax. The Day was spent in driving our small Bargains and gathering Provisions, which the Women brought. When that was done, it was agreed, that I should remain there, to lay up more Store, and that the others should return to our Company, which we had left near the River, to carry the Provisions and satisfy them they might come safely. Tho’ I thought my self not over secure among the _Indians_, and besides had the Dissatisfaction of understanding none of their Language; yet was I not unwilling to stay, that I might have an Opportunity of seeing the two other _French_ Men, who had forsaken the late Monsieur _de la Sale_, when he first travell’d into that Country, that I might enquire of them, whether they had heard no talk of the _Missisipi_ River, for I still held my Resolution of parting from our wicked Murderers.
