While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Many tribes have sub-tribes, bands, gens,
clans and phratry. Often very little
information is known or they no longer
exist. We have included them here to
provide more information about the tribes.
Alimibegouek (probably cognate with the
Chippewa
Ŭnĭmĭbigog,
they that live by the river . Win. Jones). Mentioned as one of the four
divisions of the Cree, living on L. Alimibeg (Nipigon?), which discharges into
L. Superior, Ontario. Creuxius places them immediately N. of the lake, near the
s. end of Hudson bay. What part of the Cree of modern times these include is not
determinable.
Ayabaskawininiwug. A division of the Cree (q. v.),
commonly known as Wood Cree.
Bouscoutton. The northernmost division of the Cree,
living in 1658-71 about the s. shores of Hudson bay. According to Dr William
Jones the Chippewa refer to the northernmost dwelling place of the Cree as
Ininiwitōskwŭning,
at the man s elbow, and Äntāwāt-otōskwŭning,
'they dwell at the elbow'. This Äntāwāt
is probably the term usually prefixed, in one form or another, to the name
Bouscoutton.
Cokah ( eyes open ). A
Cree band of 100 skin lodges on
Lac Qu′apelle, Assiniboia, Canada, in 1856;
named from their chief. Hayden, Ethnog. and Philol. Mo. Val., 237, 1862.
