Caughnewagos were hungry.
A few centuries make little differ
ence in the worlds economy and as to
our own people in much too recent
depression the grass looked much
greener somewhere else-anywhere
else-and the Indians began to
move. The tribe was bound for
anywhere where more game might be
found in the woods. Remember our
own imam with the bundle" shuffling
along the highways in the early
1905?
Through the black and white oak
forest the tribe trudged along single
file down the Muskingum until they
found a great log which they hollow
ed out with fire into dug-out canoe.
Then the Indians went by waterways
to the Ca-no-sa-dee-harie sepe-to us
the Black River-and down that
stream to present Elyria, Lorain
County. There they put up winter
cabin of logs, poles and bark and
buried the canoe for future use. The
cabin stood on later Evergreen Point.
1t now was winter and the tribe still
had little to eat.
While the hunters were out after
game the squaws and boys scattered
through the bottoms searching for
red haws and hunting out hickorynuts
from under the light snow. There
were few haws but plenty of nuts
were scratched out.
Next day the hunters came back
with only two small turkeys, which
were divided among the whole tribe
share and share alike. The following
morning the men went out again ant
this time had better luck. They re
turned with a deer and three bears
One of the bears was EXCEPTIONAL.
large and fat and on it the who'll
tribe gorged themselves, their oil
story relates.
That winter four of the warrior
went across the Ohio to Pennsylvani
to steal horses and take scalps. Tn
] other four remained in the camp t
hunt and provide food for the wome
and children. In spring the other
came back from Pennsylvania wit
two scalps and four horses. Unit
then the tribe had been withor
horses and had travelled afoot.
While the warriors were away ii
I tribe nearly starved and the foe

dwindled to almost nothing. The best
hunters were those away and but for
the good luck of Tenti-league, one of
those left in camp, the tribe might
have starved to death. The lone hunt
er brought in enough game to last 10
days then went 10 or IL miles into
the woods after more. He and others
camped here and there in the forest
and hunted much but found little
game. 1t was a hard winter on the
Caughnewagos.
With the coming of spring and the
four stolen horses the tribe abandon
ed its buried canoe and winter cabin
and moved on into what now is
Lorain County. Along the smaller
streams further from the lake where
fewer Indians came to hunt they
found much game and the streams
themselves were lined with otter and
beaver and were filled with fish. There
deer, bears, raccoons and wild tur-
keys were plentiful-ma-la-ke was
the Indian word for it-and the tribe
multiplied and grew fat and happy.
Of their poverty cabin on Black
River Caughnewago legend relates
that it was about Is feet long, IL feet
wide and four feet high. Walls were
made of small logs secured by posts
driven into the ground beside them.
A ridge pole rested on forked posts at
either end of the cabin and from it
small poles to each side made rafters.
On these, smaller poles were tied for
laths and over all and the cabin itself
strips of linn bark peeled off the
trees with tomahawks were laid In
1917 Heman Ely laid out Elyria
where the old Caughnewago cabin
once stood.
