- W2246375035 abstract "The origin of the word Iroquois, the name of a group of Amerindian nations in Northeastern North America, has been the subject of discussion among Amerin dianists for more than a century!. Iroquois is a name for a group of Amerindian tribes speaking related languages, living mostly in the Northeastern United States. The Mohawk, the Tuscarora ant other tribes formed the Six Nations Confederacy of the Iroquois. Algonquian tribes living along the Atlantic seacoast, of whom we can mention the Micmac, the Delaware and the Montagnais tribes, often were their neighbours and also their traditional enemies. The two groups speak languages of different families, called Iroquoian and Algonquian. The Iroquois were mostly agri culturalists (and thus more or less settled), the Algonquians were mostly hunters and gatherers and (more or less) nomadic. This paper will first deal briefly with some of the etymologies proposed of the word Iroquois, and then will plead for a Basque etymology which is in every respect the most likely origin. The discussion on the etymology of Iroquois was summari;z;ed by Gordon Day (1967). Day first discusses some etymologies that have been proposed which should be considered impossible. Some of these are nonexisting words or words with a nonsensical meaning, all rejected by Day. The only one that is to a certain extent acceptable to Gordon Day is the one proposed by Father Ch. Arnaud, who propo sed irno kue from Montagnais irno kue-dack 'terrible people'. Day mentions the following objections to this etymology: first, there is no exact phonological match between the forms, and second, the Algonquian word irino, in itself a strange form, means 'human, Montagnais'. This word is never used for other tribes, who are not granted full human status in the language. We can add that the suffix -quois is added to a great number of other tribal names in the region in the earliest French sources (some examples: Armouchiquois, Charioquois, Excomminquois). This makes this in terpretation of -kue as 'terrible' unlikely. The Handbook oJ North American Indians in therefore not convinced of this proposal, and considers the etymology of Iroquois unresolved, stating: No such form [Iroquois] is attested in any Indian language as a name for any Iroquoian group, and the ultimate origin and meaning of the name are unknown.
