Note 88 — Chapter IV · SUBSEQUENT FATE OF THE LENAPE AND THEIR KINDRED TRIBES.
Reading edition
General John Gibson thinks that Sawano is their proper name; they are so called by the other Indian nations, from their being a southern people. Shawaneu, in the Lenape language, means the south; Shawanachau,89 the south wind, &c. We commonly call them the Shawanese.
