The name isn't familiar to me. Do you know how the letter "c" is supposed to be sounded? Is it a K sound? Or does it represent "ch" or maybe the "sh" sound it has in the Smithsonian alphabet??<br>

<div><font color="#1f497d" size="4">On the 1891 OM census. the name “Wa-to-co-co” meaning something along lines of “Standing with Staff” or “Standing with Dancing Staff.” Among those of you who have worked with the names of Hochank, Kaws, Osage, Ponca/ Omaha,
Quapaw, have anyone found a similar name that refers to holding a staff that represents some society? It is not apparent in the name as documented here.
