Riggs (Dict. 160) has Ha-ha'-toN-waN [both h's with dot below] 'the
Chippewa or Ojibway Indians, the name given to them by the Dakotas, as
those who make their village at the falls'. This is probably a
translation of the Ojibway band-name pa:wittikwininiwak ‘people of the
rapids’ (specif. of Sault Ste. Marie between lakes Superior and Huron),
whence also Fr. Sauteur 'rapids or falls person' and Saulteaux, the
current Eng. name of a division of the Ojibwa occupying western Ontario
and eastern Manitoba.
