STICK USED IN THE AWL GAME

APPENDIX[407]

A LIST of the principal stocks or families, tribes, and many sub-tribes of the North American Amerinds, based on the linguistic classification of the U. S. Bureau of Ethnology, as given in the Seventh Annual Report; on Brinton’s classification in his The American Race, on Mason’s “Linguistic Families of Mexico,” in the American Anthropologist, N. S., vol. ii., No. 1; in Mexico, Washington, 1900, Bureau of American Republics; Dall’s Tribes of the Extreme Northwest, Contributions to North American Ethnology, vol. i.; James Mooney’s Siouan Tribes of the East; and on lists in the Bibliographies of James C. Pilling, with tribal names from other sources.

List of Stocks and Sub-Stocks[408]

The abbreviations are the ones used in the alphabetical list of tribes. By referring back from that list to this, the linguistic affinity and general geographical location of a tribe may be determined. The author has added the term “Hopitan” as a sub-stock of the Shoshonean to designate the group of Hopi tribes, which, while showing strong linguistic affinity, are otherwise, like the Piman and Nahuatlan, so markedly separated in habits from the true Shoshonean stock that an individual classification for them seems desirable. As the Hopitan are ranked as Shoshonean in the general scheme the harmony of the classification is not interfered with. Puebloan is also given as a comprehensive descriptive term for all the permanent house-building tribes, regardless of linguistic affinities, or ancient or modern existence. This is necessary because it is not possible to assign a linguistic place to the former occupants of ruins like those of the Chaco, yet it is settled that they were of a kind with the other town builders. Thus, also, the Cliff-dwellers may be conveniently classed under this head. Tusayan and Cibola, as applied respectively to the Hopitan and the Zuñian, should never be used, for the reason that it is not certain that these are the places that were so designated by Coronado in 1540. The author believes they were not seen by Coronado.[409] It is in the interest of accuracy to avoid these unnecessary designations, which confuse ethnological and geographical matters.

List of Tribes

The stocks are also included and are printed in capitals. In order to facilitate reference several titles of the same tribe are sometimes given.
