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.
Ilisees. Mentioned by Ker ( Travels, 98, 1816) as the
native name of a tribe, numbering about 2,000, which he says he met on upper Red
r. of Louisiana, apparently in the N. E. corner of Texas. Their chief village
was said to be Wascoo. Both the tribe and the village are seemingly imaginary.
Irrupiens. A village on a river of the same name, an
affluent of Trinity r., Tex., at which St Denis and his party stopped in 1717.
Herds of buffalo were encountered there. The region was in the main occupied by
tribes of the Caddoan family, but bordered the country occupied by intrusive
tribes of other stocks. Consult Derbanne in Margry, Dec., vi, 204, 1886;
La Harpe in French, Hist. Coll. La., in, 48, 1851. Cf. Ervipiames.
Ismiquilpas. A tribe or band of w. Texas, allied with
the Jumano in 1699. Iberville (1702) in Margry, Dec., iv, 316, 1880.
