STOCKS AND TRIBES, BY SEX, AGE, AND BLOOD. 87
KUTENAiAN STOCK (Kutenay, Kootenai).
A tribe which by itself apparently constitutes an en-
tire linguistic stock. Their traditional home was in
northern Montana and southern Alberta, east of the
Rocky Mountains. From here they moved west across
the mountains, and since the beginning of the nine-
teenth century, when first known to Europeans, they
have occupied a portion of southeastern British Columbia
and the adjacent parts of northwestern Idaho and
Montana. Most of the Kutenai in the United States
are located on the Flathead Reservation in Montana.
The number enumerated in 1910 was 538, of which
424 were in Montana and 107 ui Idaho. Comparisons
with previous years are of little value, owing to the
irregular character of the returns for this tribe in the
reports of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. So
far as can be judged from the figures, however, the
number of the Kutenai in the United States has stood
almost stationary since 1875.
LUTUAMIAN STOCK.
Stoc^ as a whole.—One of the smaller of the Pacific
Coast stocks. It occupied a compact area in southern
Oregon and extreme northern Cahfornia just east of
the Cascades.
The Indians of the Lutuamian stock, as enumerated
in 1910, numbered 978. The tribes of this stock, for
which members were reported, are as follows:
Klamath. Modoc.
Klamath.—The most northerly of the two tribes com-
posing this stock. Their habitat, since known to
Europeans in the early part of the nineteenth century,
has been in Klamath County, Oreg., aainly about and
to the east of Klamath Lake. Since 1864 they have
been located on the IQamath Reservation in that
state. f
The number enumerated in 1910 was 696, of which
646 were in Oregon. Comparable figures for that por-
tion of the tribe in Oregon, as shown by the reports of
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, are as follows
