Tutelo, also known as Tutelo–Saponi, is a member of the Virginian branch of Siouan languages that was originally spoken in
what is now Virginia and West Virginia, as well as in the later travels of the speakers through North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
New York, and finally, Ontario. The last fluent full-blooded speaker, Nikonha, died in 1871 at age 106, but managed to impart
about 100 words of vocabulary to the ethnologist Horatio Hale, who had visited him at Six Nations of the Grand River First
Nation Ontario the year before. However, knowledge of the language and grammar was preserved by persons of mixed Tutelo and
Cayuga descent at Grand River well into the twentieth century, and was recorded by Hale and other scholars including J. N.
B. Hewitt, James Owen Dorsey, Leo J. Frachtenberg, Edward Sapir, Frank Speck, and Marianne Mithun. |
