Kristineaux

[Bruce Ingham]

Dear all,
I know this is a Siouan List.  I also know there are Algonquianists out
there.  Does anyone know the origin of Kristineaux or Kelistineaux from which
is derived the name Cree.  I have read somewhere that 'one branch of the Cree
(presumably Eastern) called themselves Kenistenoag from whence we get this
name.  If this is true, does anyone know what  Kenistenoag means.
