THE HOTCANGARA OR WINNEBAGO
The Winnebago call themselves Ho-tcan'-ga-ra', "First or parent speech."
While they have gentes, they have no camping circle, as their priscan
habitat was in a forest region. The following names were obtained from
James Alexander, a full-blood of the Wolf gens, and from other members of
the tribe:
1. _Wolf gens_--Common name, Cunk i-ki'-ka-ra'-tca-da, or
Cunk-tcank'i-ki'-ka-ra'-tca-da,
Those-calling-themselves-after-the-dog-or-wolf; archaic name,
ce-go'-ni-na, meaning not recorded.
2. _Black-bear gens_--Common name, Honte' i-ki'-ka-ra'-tca-da,
They-call-themselves-after-the-black-bear; archaic name, Tco'-na-ke-ra,,
meaning not recorded.
