Note 57 — Front matter

According to J. O. Dorsey in Bull. 30, B. A. E., their tribal tradition is, that after separating from the parent stock they “received the name of Pahoja, or Gray Snow.” See also W J McGee, 15th Rept., B. A. E., 1897, who says: “Iowa or Pá-qo-tce signifies ‘Dusty Heads’.” See also On the Origin of the Otos, Joways and Missouris, etc., in Maximilian’s Travels (Vol. III, Clark’s reprint, page 313). This purports to be a tradition communicated to Maj. Jonathan L. Bean, of Pennsylvania, Gov. Sub. Agent to the Sioux, 1827-34. The Iowa are designated as Pa-ho-dje, or Dust Noses.
