FOOTNOTES:

[32] The Racoon.

[33] Racoon, eat us.

[34] The name of the racoon in the Chippewa language, appears to be a derivation from Ais a shell, with the inflection for the perfect past tense (bun) united with the copulative vowel i. But no tale of such transformation as is here alluded to, has been met with.
