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!
A complete listing of all the Indian
villages, towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of
Mexico.
Honniasontkeronon (Iroquois: 'people of the place of
crook-necked squashes', or 'people of the place where they wear crosses'). An
unidentified people of whom Galinée was
informed by the Iroquois as living on Ohio r., above the falls at Louisville,
Ky. On a map of De l'Isle, dated 1722, a small lake called L. Oniasont, around
which are the words les Oniasontke, is placed on the s. side, apparently, of the
"Ouabache, otherwise called Ohio or Beautiful river," and the outlet of L.
Oniasont is made to flow into the Ouabache. It may be inferred that the Iroquois
statement as to the location of this people was substantially correct; that is,
that they lived on a small lake E. of Wabash r. and having an outlet into that
stream, although Hoñniasontke‘roñnon
is an Iroquois euphemism for the land of departed spirits.
