In this paper I re-examine one text, out of a total of nine, first analyzed by John Swanton appearing in the Gatschet and Swanton (1932) Atakapa dictionary. Specifically, I examine the first text to appear in this dictionary, which he titled, The Western Atakapa. However, I believe that Swanton’s title for this story is in error, since the story is actually referring to the Hiyekiti ‘the sunrise people,’ or Eastern Atakapas, not the Western AtakapasDownloads
