72 INDIANS IN THE UNITED STATES.
ALGONQUIAN STOCK.
Stock as a whole.—This, the largest numerically of
the stocks ia the United States, is also one of the largest
bx point of area covered. With the exception of
western New York, parts of western New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, and the northern Alleghenies, the entire
area of the United States east of the Mississippi and
north of a line drawn from the mouth of the Ohio to
the entrance to Chesapeake Bay was at the beginning
of the seventeenth century occupied by Indians of this
stock. Farther west, also, there were several tribes
the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Gros Ventres, and Piegan
—
who wandered over a considerable area on the plains.
The stock also extend* over a large area in Canada.
From a large portion, of this area the Indians have long
practically disappeared, but ia parts of Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Minnesota, and to some extent in Maine,
they still form a considerable element in the population.
The Indians of the Algonquian stock in the United
States, as enumerated in 1910, numbered 40,975. To
this figure should be added probably about 1,200 for
Indians of this stock reported without distinction of
tribe among the general population in Michigan, Min-
nesota, and Wisconsin, making a probable total of
about 42,000 ia all. The tribes of this stock, for which
members were reported, are as follows:
Abnaki.
