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.
Hastwiana ('he was a little man'. Hewitt). A former
Onondaga settlement on the site of the present village of Onondaga Valley,
Onondaga co., N. Y.
Honeoye ('his finger lies'. Hewitt). A former Seneca
settlement on Honeoye cr., near Honeoye lake, N. Y.; destroyed by Sullivan in
1779.
Horicon. Marked on a map of 1671 as a people living on
the headwaters of Hudson r., N. Y., w. of L. Champlain, and placed by others in
the same general region. Ruttenber says they were a part of the Mahican who
occupied the L. George district, but Shea considers the word a mere misprint for
Hirocoi, Hierocoyes, or Iroquois, which is doubtful.
Hostayuntwa (Ho-‘std-yón-twän‘,
'there he cast a lean thing into the fire'. Hewitt). An Oneida village that
stood on the site of Camden, N. Y.
