LIFE AMONG THE INDIANS.
THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS AMONG THE
SEMINOLE INDIANS.
THKIK LAKOITAOF,— OLD CHIFCO-TUSTKNUGOEK
—A PEN PORTRAIT OE HIS MAJESTY—HIS
PREROGATIVES—INDIAN ROYALTY.
With au open blank hook and pencil, I
went about asking the name of every
thing I saw and finally secured the assis
tance of an old warrior who understood
some English. By night I could boast
l,f u pocketeditfi nofanIdian dictionary
I am obliged to refer frequently to my
notes, as some of the words are so 1 mg
i cannot remember them. I give a few
as a sample: "Sartookanawa chacapin
(five dollars) “kaswanaka” (hat) “hitclio
pockawa” (pipe), “hartishcla” (moon),
"ehyagistcha”(no), t ougli some of their
words are short and very expressive.
The Seuiinoles are not unoriginal tribe
<ut are scattered remnants of several
litferent tribes that were shipped West
by the government, the Creeks and Cher
okee# furnishing the majority. From t..e
word ‘•Seminola,” meaning runaway or
•ust off. they took their name, and bind
ng them selves together for self protec
ion, took refuge among ihe Everglades,
here they long proved themselves a
horn in the side of “Uncle Sam’s” Gov
■rmuent. Not even the fierce blood
toiuids from Cuba could route them
rom their strongholds, though reduced
o few in number. Mmy of the old
warriors are still living aud fit for active
rvice; others have grown up during
* lie long period of peace, and it is impos
sible to form anything like a cornet esti
mite of the present number. Don’t
think they would exceed five hundred
vn 4 proudly more tlian three.
Chipco is among the oldest warriors that
L have met. He is the only representa
tive in Florida of the remnant of a tribe,
of which he was Chief and leader in the
Dade massacre, the battle at Withlacoo
chee and a number of other memorable
Indian fights, in which he lost his five
sons. Chipco greeted me quite warmly
and pretended to t e very friendly, but
in referring to incidents of his many
battles I could plainly see that recita
tions of the bloody past has greatly
embittered the old warrior’s soul towards
the whites. They keep no record of time
and it is impossible to arrive at his exact
age, but from his account of himself
and comparisons with historical dates,
he must beat least one hundred years of
age; is rather shorter than the medium
sized Indian ’ and sti,nd 8trai ^ ht aH an
arrow; eyes quite sharp for his age; al
n o it toothless and locks as white as the
snow-capped summit of the Sierra Ne
vada#.
In order to be sociable, I made a num
ber of paper cigarettes from my package
of Durham and passed them to Chipco.
He helped himself liberally, aid the bal
ance were divided among the squaws
that were pi esent. After puffing at it and
burning himg.df a time Or two, the old
lellow decided that paper cigarette
were “holewaguscha” (bad too much),
and crammed the whole thing, paper and
all. into an old clay pipe, All the squaws
following suit, began puffing away alter
a style of their own. This does not seem
to be the home of the gray-haired old
veteran, as he packed his “choloeco”
.horse) on the 3rd inst., and left for
other parts. It is a notable fact that the
warriors will not converse with anyone
in Englislt when their friends are ]ires
ent, though it is said that many of them
could do so if they would. I have prov
ed ;■ n apt scholar and can converse quite
freely in the Indian tongue already. 1
am kindly treated Wy all the warriors,
was conducted the first night to the pnl
ace of His Royal Majesty, Tuskenugger,
the present Chief of the Seminohs,
’and am fceirg ♦ ntertained in real Royal
style and furnished with a bear skin to
sleep on al night.
The ••Royal Palace,’' stands about one
hundred yards from theprivate “chofos”
and differs from them only in size.
••His Imperial Majesty,” Tustennggee—
successor to the illustrious BilJy Bow'
legs—is a fair specimen of his race,
Tall, muscular and perfectly er.ct,
prominent cheek-bones, Roman noseai d
an eagle’s eye; lips rather thick for 1 is
race: hair somewhat silvered by the
touch of time; he sports about whiskers
enough bristle a shoe thread and is
