In your issue of Saturday, the l7tl
inst, under the heading "Origin Of a
Name" this statement appears: The
original name Of Minnehaha interpreted
means Laughing Waters, and was tn,
original name of Brandywine Creek. "
Now, while / do not pronounc. this
assertion grossly inaccurate, ! think il
is not historically accurate, and | will
| cite some reasons for thinking 50. The
| Interpretation is correct.
For five years ! was resident Of
Dakota Territory, in the heart Of the
Sioux Nation, and learned among other
things part, of their language. The
word mime q. e. wateP) iSdiStincti vely
Sioux Or Dakota. 1t is fact well
known that the Language OF contiguous
nations Of Indians is widely disSimiar.
and even some tribes belonging to the
same confederation have to have re-
course to the sign language 10 convey
their thoughts and ideas 10 their listen
ers. Near Fort Smelling, Mimi, is II
body of water that bears the name of
Minnehaha Falls, visited by all tourists
IN search OF the picturesque. ] think
il is the only body Of water that ever
bore that name. 1t seems, therefore,
singular that that part OF the Algou-
quin family, known as the Delawares,
should have applied the same name t.
the Brandywine, when the language
was anything but their own.
Many people think the tribe of the
Delawares is totally extinct, and it is
nearly so. Their race is nearly run {;
there are but few of them left, and they
are widely scattered. met two at
Cheyenne Agency, u. T., in 1873, who
were employed by the government as
scouts. They were the finest cooking
Indians ! ever saw, and the hravest.
They could not speak a word OF Sioux.
Longtcllow certainly does not refer iO
the Brandywinc in his Famine"
when he says;
Hear n Roaring and rushing:
Hear the falls Of Minnchaha -
And again
Reckoning to me from his wigwam
In the land Of the Dakotahs."
1t is eviden, that the waterfall be-
iwc"n Fort Smelling and tn" falls Of ST.
Anthony is meant.
tn" statement in your paper may
have been correct but il seems highly
improbable. Yours respectfully,
Feb. 10, 1888. GEO. W. KKEER.
