PECAN IS AN AMEERICAN INDIAN WORD, ORIGINALLY PECAN, AND WAS USED BY THE INDIANS TO DESIGNATE ALL NUTS THAT WERE SOHARD AS TO REQUIRE A STONE TO CRACK THEM, THE INDIANS USED THE PECANS OR POWCOHICARA, BY POUNDING THE KERNELS OF THE NUTS, THROWING THEM INTO BOILING WATER ALLOWING IT TO FERMENT FOR AN INTOXICATING DRINK OR JUST EATING THEM.
