20. _Shiwaking_, "the place of spruce firs" (see Vocab). They crossed in mid-winter a broad stream, rich in fish and shell-fish, and arrived at a land covered with forests of spruce. For a long time this appears to have remained their home. IV. 2. _Sittamaganat_, Raf. translates "Path Leader." The word _tamaganat_ appears in other verses, as _w'tamaganat_, IV, 37; _tamaganat_, IV, 55; _tamaganend_, V, 2. I derive it from the root _tam_, literally to drink, but generally, to smoke tobacco, as in Roger Williams' Key _wut-tammagon_, a pipe (see above, page 49). Hence I take _tamagamat_ to be the pipe-bearer, he who had charge of the Sacred Calumet. If it is objected that this puts the use of tobacco by the Lenape too remote, I reply that we do not know when they began to use it, and moreover, this may be an anachronism of tradition. 13, 14. The lands toward the four cardinal points are described from a centre where the tribe was then located. Neither Rafinesque nor Squier understood this, and their renderings do not mention the territories North and West. From the description, I should place the then location of the tribe in Western New York and Northern Ohio. 16. The four names seem to be appellatives of different tribes. One of the extinct tribes remembered in Chipeway tradition was the _Assigunaik_, Stone People (Schoolcraft, _History and Statistics of the Ind. Tribes_, Vol. I, p. 305). 25. The legend here relates that the cultivation of maize began after they had reached a low latitude, presumably Southern Indiana or Ohio. The legend of the New England Indians was that a crow flew down from the great God Kitantowit, bringing in one ear a grain of corn, in the other a bean, and taught them the cultivation of these plants. (Roger Williams, _Key into the Language of America_, p. 114.) See further, ante, p. 48. 34. _Wisawana_, the Yellow River. There is a small river, so-called, in the State of Indiana, a branch of the Kankakee, called on Hough's "Map of the Indian Names of Indiana" _We-tho-gan_, a corruption of _wisawanna_. (See Hough's map, in _Twelfth Annual Report of the Geology and Natural History of Indiana_, 1883.) When the Minsi made their first migration west, about 1690, they directed their course to this spot, where they were found by Charlevoix in 1721. 36. _Tamenend_, the name of the celebrated chief now better known to us as Tammany, who dealt with William Penn. Heckewelder translates it as "Affable." This is the first of the name. A second is mentioned, V, 32. The friend of Penn was the third. 46. _Towakon pallitonep_, Raf. translates "father snake, he was mad!" 48. Perhaps this line should be translated: "They speak well of the east; many go to the east."
