The Tutelo


It is impossible to learn whether the Tutelo ever camped in a circle. The

author obtained the following clan names (descent being in the female

line) from John Key, an Indian, on Grand River reservation, Ontario,

Canada, in September, 1882: On one side of the fire were the Bear and

Deer clans, the Wolf and Turtle being on the other side. John Key's

mother, maternal grandmother, and Mrs Christine Buck were members of the

Deer clan. There were no taboos. The Tutelo names of the clans have been

forgotten.
