probably still survives. A single Indian was enumerated
in 1910, in New York, as belonging to this
tribe, a woman of half Negro blood. It is probable
that some additional members of this tribe were scat-
tered among the general population,
Potawatomi.—The earliest assignable location for
this tribe is in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. From
here, early in the seventeenth century, they moved to
the vicinity of Sault Ste. Marie and thence, at a later
date, southward to the lower end of Lake Michigan
and adjacent portions of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana,
and Michigan. By the middle' of the nineteenth century
the larger portion had moved west across the
Mississippi where, after several changes of location,
they were finally located on the Great Nemaha Eeservation
in Kansas, and the Sauk and Fox Reservation
in Oklahoma. A portion, however, remains in Wisconsin
and Michigan. The total number enumerated
in 1910 was 2,440, of which 866 were in Oklahoma, 819
in Kansas, 461 in Michigan, and 245 in Wisconsin.
PowKatan.—A group or confederacy of several
tribes living in the seventeenth century along the Vir-
ginia coast, and including among others the Chickahominy,
Mattapony, and Pamunkey. The remnants
are now much mixed and widely scattered. The number
reported in 1910 (distinct from the Chickahominy,
Mattapony, and Pamunkey) was 131, all in Virginia.
Sauk and Fox.—Two tribes which have been so
closely associated for over a century that they have
been enumerated as a unit. The earUest assignable
habitat for both the Sauk and Fox was in the Lower
Peninsula of Michigan where they were living at the
very beginning of the seventeenth century. Moving
from there by the end of the century to Wisconsin,
they remained in the region of Green Bay for some
time and toward the end of the eighteenth century
moved farther west beyond the Mississippi. They are
now divided into three groups, located respectively at
Tama, Iowa; the Great Nemaha Reservation, Kans.;
and the Sauk and Fox Reservation, Okla.
The total number enumerated in 1910 was 724, of
which 347 were in Oklahoma, 257 in Iowa, and 69 in
Kansas. Figures for earlier years are in the case of the
Sauk and Fox unusually complete in the reports of the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs for the number repre-
sented in Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, as
