,
'warclub.'-Gatschet). An ancient Upper Creek town on the s. side of Tallapoosa
r., in Macon co., Ala., adjoining Calibee cr., 5 m. above Huthliwathli town. In
1766 it contained about 43 warriors, and when seen by Hawkins, about 1799, it
was a poor, miserable-looking place. On Nov. 29, 1813, a battle was fought
there between the Creeks and Jackson's troops. The name was later applied to a
town in the Creek Nation, Indian Ter., the people of which are called Atasálgi.

fortified gaps before the pueblo is reached. The site was impregnable to any
form of attack possible to savage warfare. The commanding position was a the
gateway to the Tewa country E. of the mountains, and, according to tradition,
it was the function of Chipiinuinge to withstand as far as possible the fierce
Navaho and Apache raids from the N. W. The pueblo was built entirely of stone
and was of 3 stories, in places possibly 4. Portions of second-story walls are
still standing and many cedar timbers are well preserved. The remains of 15
kivas, mostly circular, a few rectangular, are still traceable in and about the
ruins; these were all mostly if not wholly subterranean, having been excavated
in the rock surface on which the pueblo stands. The cliff-dwellings in the E.
face of the mesa are all of the excavated type, and appear to have been used
for mortuary quite as much as for domiciliary
purposes. (E. L. H.)
Chipisclin. A former village, presumably Costanoan, connected with Dolores mission, San Francisco, Cal.-Taylor in Cal. Farmer, Oct. 18, 1861.
Chipletac. A former village, presumably Costanoan, connected with Dolores mission, San Francisco, Cal.-Taylor in Cal. Farmer, Oct. 18, 1861.
Chipmunk. The common name of the striped ground squirrel (Tamias striatus), of which the variants of chipmonk, chipmuck, chitmunk, and others occur. The word has been usually derived from the "chipping" of the animal, but (Chamberlain in Am. Notes and Queries, III, 155, 1889) it is clearly of Algonquian origin. The word chipmunk is really identical with the adjidaumo ('tail-in-air') of Longfellow's Hiawatha, the Chippewa atchitamon, the name of the ordinary red squirrel (Sciurus hudsonicus). The Chippewa vocabulary of Long (1791) gives for squirrel chetamon, and Mrs. Traill, in her Canadian Crusoes, 1854, writes the English word as chitmunk. By folk etymology, therefore, the Algonquian word represented by the Chippewa atchitamon has become, by way of chitmunk, our familiar chipmunk. The Chippewa word signifies 'head first', from atchit 'headlong,' am 'mouth,' from the animal's habit of descending trees. The Indian word applied originally to the common red squirrel and not to the chipmunk. (A. F. C.)
Chippanchickchick.
A tribe or band of doubtful linguistic affinity, either Chinookan of
Shahaptian, living in 1812 on Columbia r. in Klickitat co., Wash., nearly
opposite The Dalles. Their number was estimated at 600.

Chipped implements. See Stone-work.
Chippekawkay.
A Piankishaw village, in 1712, on the site of Vincennes, Knox co., Ind. Hough
translates the word 'brushwood,' and it may be identical with
Pepicokia. (J. M.)
Brushwood.-Baskin, Forster &
Co.'s Hist. Atlas Ind., 249, 1876. Chih-kah-we-kay.-Hough in Ind. Geol.
Rep., map, 1883. Chipcoke.-Baskin, Forster & Co., op. cit., 249,

along both shores of L. Huron and L. Superior, extending across Minnesota to Turtle mts., N. Dak. Although strong in numbers and occupying an extensive territory, the Chippewa were never prominent in history, owing to their remoteness from the frontier during the period of the colonial wars. According to tradition they are part of an Algonquian body, including the Ottawa and Potawatomi, which separated into divisions when it reached Mackinaw in its westward movement, having come from some point N. or N. E. of Mackinaw. Warren (Minn. Hist. Soc. Coll., v., 1885) asserts that they were settled in a large village
