Publication of the Mississippi Historical Society* viii INTRODUCTION The principal concern of this study is linguistic; consequently, no great deal of attention has been given to the history and legend of those Indian tribes which have lived in the territory now comprising the state of Missis­ sippi. The particular interest is with the origin and the meaning of Indian geographic names — only, however, of those names which are derived from the dialects of the tribes that at some time were settled within th© Mississippi Territory. Imported names, such as Eutaw and Shawnee, which have been brought Into Mississippi from other states, and artificial forms, or pseudo-Indian names, as Areola and Pinola, are not treated. Pronunciations of names are given only when reasonably accurate data were available. As the geographic names of Indian origin which are found in Mississippi are for the most part derived from the Choctaw, the linguistic observations which constitute the major part of this section of ray study are concerned primarily with that language. However, particular references to the Choctaw language may become s;i7eeplngly general (within the Gulf Coast area), because Choctaw and Chick­ asaw show only very slight divergences, because Choctaw provides the foundation for the Mobllian language, and because rnany

Analyzing Late Prehistoric Bison bison Remains near La Crosse, Wisconsin using Historic General Land Office Maps Andrew M. Saleh University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, USA Abstract: This study used geographic information systems, pre- historic archaeological contexts, and historic General Land Of- fice (GLO) maps to conduct a pilot inter-site analysis involving La Crosse, Wisconsin area Oneota sites with reported Bison bi- son remains as of 2014. Scholars in and around Wisconsin con- tinually discuss the potential reasons why bison remains appear in late prehistoric contexts. This analysis continued that discus- sion with updated methods and vegetation data and provides a case study showing the strength of using historic GLO maps in conjunction with archaeological studies. This research suggests that creating your own maps in coordination with the GLO’s publicly available original surveyor data is more accurate than using the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) vegetation polygon that cites the same data.

When surveyors came, we knew what the prophet had said was true, this land with lines unseen, would be taken, and we’d never see pay. So, you who live there now, don’t forget to love it, thank it the place that was once our forests, the ponds, the mosses, the swamplands with birds and more lowly creatures. As for us, we walked into the military strength of hunger and war for that land we still dream. As the ferry crossed the distance, or the walkers left behind their loved ones, think how we took along our cats and kittens, the puppies we also loved, and the horses, so many, one by one stolen, taken by the many thieves along the trail. We took clothing, dishes, thinking there would be something to start new life, believing justice lived in the world, So have compassion for that land at least.

The popular game was one of several played for millennia throughout Native North America. Indigenous communities played ball games not only for the important culture- making of sport and recreation, but also as an act of peace-building. The densely populated urban center of Cahokia, as well as its agricultural suburbs and distant trade partners, were dedicated to chunkey. Chunkey is associated with the milieu surrounding the Pax Cahokiana (1050 AD-1200 AD), an era of reduced armed conflict during the height of Mississippian civilization (1000-1500 AD). The relational framework utilized in archaeology, combined with dynamics of conflict resolution, provides a basis to explain chunkey’s cultural impact.

The study focuses on the fitful— and often futile—efforts of the French, the English, the Spanish, and the Americans to establish plantation agriculture in Natchez and its environs, a district that emerged as the heart of the “Cotton Kingdom” in the decades following the American Revolution.
