naskapi The "Ounadcapis", "Ounascapis", "Naskapis", "Nascapees", "Nascopi". "Naskupi", or "Nasquapee", as they have been variously called, speak a dialect of the Cree language, nearly like, but not identical with, that of/the Montagnais Indians, of the same stock. The word "Nascopi" is properly the name for an "Indian man" (i.e., _vir_) in their dialect, and that, in all Algonquin languages, the name for "man" and the verb "to stand erect" are nearly related.
