Exactly the problen I had when doing Karankawa. (Dave Costa will confirm this.)  In Mezican Spanish, the matrix language of the longest vocabulary, they were referred to as "los Carancaguas" which hints at penult stress.  The usual stress in AmEng is antepenult.  I maintain that both are right.....

I remember Mary Haas pronouncing Chitimacha, with <ch> as an affricate and 
the stress on the final syllable.  It stands out in my memory, because I 
felt mortified in having just pronounced it with stress on the penult.  Why 
on earth don't we compile a list of American native ethnonyms with their 
alternative Roman spellings, and IPA renditions of acceptable 
pronunciations?  How are students and young scholars (or old scholars for 
that matter) supposed to know how to say these names?
