| Pagamquis /Paguanquois at Odanak |
Several of this family appear in census records. Joseph was a chief in 1841. Gordon Day used the spelling Pagamquis, but it is generally spelled Paguanquois in census records at Becancour. It may be a variation of the PAGAUNE family found at Odanak. |

Tamakwa is the Abenaki word for "beaver". This family is represented in both marriage and census records for Becancour. Louis Tomaquois b. abt 1787 was chief at Becancour in the mid 1800's.
