74 INDIANS IN THE UNITED STATES. The number enumerated in 1910 was 510, of which 503 were in Montana. Comparative figiu-es which are available for this tribe in Montana show that there has been a great decrease among the Gros Ventres in the last 25 years. Estimated at about 1,500 in 1866, they lost by smallpox in 1870, and by 1885 has dwindled to 852, since which time the figures, taken from the reports of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, are as follows : YEAS.
STOCKS AND TRIBES, BY SEX, AGE, AND BLOOD. 75 cousin, whither they seem to have gone with the Brotherton. The number enumerated in 1910 was 29, of which 21 were in Wisconsin. Munsee.— ^The name of a portion of the Delaware tribe occupying in the seventeenth century a consid- erable area in southern New York and adjacent parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. By the end of the eighteenth century they had been ahnost completely dispersed or absorbed by other tribes, and at present the survivors are scattered among several tribes in Oklahoma and in Kansas. The total reported in 1910 was 71, of which Kansas and Oklahoma had 41 and 21, respectively. Narraganset.—Formerly one of the most important tribes of southern New England, occupying western Ehode Island and adjacent parts of Connecticut. The few survivors are now largely mixed with white and Negro blood. The number enumerated in 1910 was 16, of which one-half were in Wisconsin. It is probable that there were others of among ê general population. this tribe enumerated Niantic.—Â small tribe formerly occupying the coast of Connecticut near Niantic Bay. One survivor of this tribe was enumerated in Connecticut in 1910, a woman reported to be of full-tribal blood. Ottawa.—Originally a Canadian tribe, the habitat of the Ottawa when first met by Europeans, in the early part of the seventeenth, century, was in the present Province of Ontario, on Manitoulin Island, the northern shore of Georgian Bay, and parts of the southern shore adjacent to the Hurons. After the destruction of the Hurons in 1648-49, the Ottawa fled at first to the western shore of Lake Michigan and later farther west, even to the Mississippi Eiver. By the end of the century the greater part, however, had returned and settled mainly in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan where they became much mixed with the Chippewa. A small number of Ottawa moved west beyond the Mississippi in the early part of the nineteenth century and since 1870 have been living with the Quapaw on their reservation in Oklahoma. . The total number enumerated in 1910 was 2,717, of which 2,454 were in Michigan and 170 in Oklahoma. Figures for the total Ottawa population in previous years are impossible to secure, as only the siliall portion residing in Oklahoma has been shown separately in the reports of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Pamunkey.—Once one of the most important tribes of Virginia, belonging to the Powhatan Confederacy, and occupying the region about the Pamunkey and Mattapony Rivers in that state. Since the end of the eighteenth century the remnant, largely of mixed blood, have occupied a small reservation in King William County. The nimiber enumerated in 1910 was 83, all in Virginia. Passamaqiioddy.—Â tribe very closely allied to the Malecite and occupying since the seventeenth century the region in the vicinity of the eastern boundary of Maine. The number enumerated in 1910 was 386, of which 381 were in Maine. Penolscot.—A tribe once quite numerous and formerly occupying the region along the Penobscot River, Me. They are now for the most part located in the vicinity of Old Town, Me., 253 out of a total of 266 being reported in that state in 1910.- Peoria.— Â tribe belonging to the loose group known as the Illinois Confederacy and living, when first known to Europeans in the seventeenth century, on the west side of the Mississippi River in Iowa. Later they moved to Illinois and in 1832 removed to Kansas, where they were joined by various other small tribes and ultimately settled in Oklahoma on the Peoria Reservation. The Peoria to-day are much mixed with Piankashaw, Wea, etc. The number enumerated in 1910 was 128, of which 114 were reported in Oklahoma. Peguot.—Â tribe once practically identical with the Mohegan and occupying in the seventeenth century the extreme eastern edge of Connecticut. The remnant is still Uvirg in this region, 66 being enumerated in 1910, 49 in Connecticut and 17 in Massachusetts. Piankashaw.Â subdivision originally of the Miami, formerly occup3dng a small area in northern Indiana and lUinois. Early in the nineteenth century the remnant had moved west across the Mississippi, and later, uniting with the Peoria, Kaskaskia, and Wea, removed to the Peoria Reservation, Okla. There were but 2 Indians reported in 1910 as Piankashaw, from Oklahoma, a female of full-tribal blood and a halfbreed male. Piegan.— ^The largest of the three tribes of the Blackfoot Confederacy. Their early habitat extended over a large area in Montana, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, east of the Rocky Mountains. For 40 years or more the portion of the tribe in the United States has been located on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana. They are sometimes referred to simply as Blackfeet. The number enumerated in 1910 was 2,268, of which 2,221 were in Montana. Comparative figures for earlier years are almost useless as they are, with very few exceptions, only estimates. Before 1885 the number returned varied very widely from year to year, the most conservative estimate being about 2,500 in 1861. In 1864 and in 1869 they suffered by an epidemic of measles and smallpox, and in 1883 nearly 600 died of starvation. Since 1885 there has apparently been httle change in numbers, as shown by the following figures from the reports of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs for this tribe in Montana: YEAE.
