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!
C- Delaware Indian Villages, Towns and
Settlements
A complete listing of all the Indian villages,
towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.
Chikohoki (from Chikelaki; chikeno 'turkey', aki 'land'). The
former principal seat of the Unalachtigo Delawares, situated on the w. bank of
Delaware r. , near the present Wilmington, Del.
Cuscarawaoc (place
of making white beads. Tooker) . A division
of the Nanticoke; mentioned by Capt. John
Smith as a tribe or people living at the
head of Nanticoke r., in Maryland and
Delaware, and numbering perhaps 800 in 1608.
Their language was different from that of
the Powhatan, Conestoga, and Atquanachuke.
Heckewelder believed them to be a division
of the Nanticoke, the correctness of which
Bozman (Mary land, i, 112-121, 1837)
has clearly demonstrated. For a discussion
of the name see Tooker, Algonquian
Series, ix, 65, 1901. (J. M.)
