Note 261 — I. VOCABULARIES OF SOME OF THE TRIBES OF NORTHWESTERN AMERICA, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE INDIAN SIGN LANGUAGE (continued 2)

Hannibal Evans Lloyd translation

Written from the pronunciation of an Ojibua Indian. The letter l is said to be wanting in this language, and the words given here seem to confirm this view. These Indians received the name Sauteurs from the French, because they lived at the falls (sauts) of St. Anthony. They are commonly called Chipeways (Tschipewäs); but pronounce this name, themselves, Ojibua.—Maximilian.

Comment by Ed. The name "Saulteurs" was derived from the residence of these Indians at Sault Ste. Marie.
