Several synonomies in the Northeast volume of the Handbook of North American Indians present a reconstruction of Proto-Algonquian *na:- tawe:wa. This reconstruction is in error, partly because of the primary data used. Originally the word *na:tawe:wa was applied by Algonquian speakers to both the massasauga, a pit viper, and to Northern Iroquoians. It has been assumed that 'Iroquoian person' was the primary meaning, and that the reference to the snake was secondary. I show that the reverse is true and cite more extensive primary information.
