Shawneeshatten a custom - wie auch d. Miamis, ditto Sauks u. Foxes - o f namingchildren in gens v. Vather od. Mutter od. any other gens under certain restrictions.Unter d. Iroquois, sieh oben, hatte jede gens its own special names fürpersons which no other gens had a right to use; in every tribe daher the name(special, personal) indicated the gens. So unter d. Sauks u. Foxes “ LongHorn” is a name belonging to the Deer Gens: Black Wolf to the W olfGens; in the Eagle gens the following are specimen155 names: Ka-po-nä(“ Eagle drawing his nest” ); Ja-ka-kwä-pe (“ Eagle sitting with his headup” ) ; Pe-ä-tä-na-kä-hok (“ Eagle flying over a limb)Unter d. Shawnees these names carried mit sich the rights o f the gens towhich they belonged, so that the name determined the gens of the person.Der Sachem musste in allen Fällen zu seiner gens gehören; whsclich d.change von female to male line commenced thus: in erster Instanz to enable ason (der zur gens der Mutter gehörte) to succeed to his father, u. zweitens, toenable children to inherit property from their father. Empfing ein Sohn denNamen seines Vaters, so konnte er ihn in office nachfolgen, subject to election.Aber d. father had no control over the question; it was left by the gens tocertain persons, mostly matrons to be consulted when children were tobe named, with power to determine the name156 to be given. D ch dies arrangementbetween the Shawnee gentes these persons had this power, could socarry the person into the gens to which the name belonged.

Jederdieser 2 tribes in gentes getheilt, erster in 5, 2ter in 8. Namentlichunter d. letzteren Namen (von gens), die mehr nach Bands als gentesriechen, wie Web Fat, Inside Fat, Conjurers, Never Laugh^ Starving,H alf Dead Meat; aber nicknames for gentes superseded in some cases theoriginal names. Descent in male line, intermarriage in gens prohibited.181
