The Hurons and the Iroquois are said to have received their names from the French--the former in allusion to the French word _hure_, a head of hair, these savages being distinguished by a singular mode of dressing theirs; the latter from their frequent repetition of the word "_hiro_," "I have said it," the ordinary termination of the warriors' harangues.

Charlevoix says: "Il a été formé du terme Hiro, ou Hero, qui signifie J'ai dit, et par lequel ces sauvages finissent tous leur discours, comme les Latins faisoient autrefois par leur Dixi; et de Koué, qui est un cri tantôt de tristesse, lorsqu'on le prononce en traînant, et tantôt de joye, quand on le prononce plus court."--Hist.

The Haunted Mansion was experiencing a major empty spell: the Snow Crash Spectacular parade had just swept through Liberty Square en route to Fantasyland, dragging hordes of guests along with it, dancing to the JapRap sounds of the comical Sushi-K and aping the movements of the brave Hiro Protagonist.

Iroquois is a French compound of the native words _hiro_, I have said, and _kouè_, an interjection of assent or applause, terms constantly heard in their councils.

The name by which they have been best known is considered by Charlevoix and other writers to be originally French; derived from "Hiro" (I have spoken)--the conclusion of all their harangues--and Koué, an exclamation of sorrow when it was prolonged, and of joy when pronounced shortly.
