Tisagechroamis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Main article: Mississaugas.
The Tisagechroamis are a tribe of Native Americans. This name for the tribe was used idiosyncratically by Conrad Weiser when he conducted a census in Logstown in 1748. Other variants of the spelling were Tisagechroamis, Tisaghechroamis, Tisagechroan, Tisagechroanu and Zisaugeghroanu.
The much more widely used name for this tribe is Mississaugas (variants: Mississages, Mississagas).
"The Tisagechroanu were the Mississagas from Lake Huron, a large tribe and French Indians, or under French influences. The name Tisagechroanue here is probably a misprint, for it is most often found Zisaugeghroanu." [1]
