sea and dwelt with the indians. One of them had so radiant a countenance none of the indians could look at him and live. in consequence he went back into the sea and from the remaining five the Ojibway race has sprung. They are the same as the Algic race of ancient day, and the Algonquin of more recent date. In all indian nations the division into tribes, and the selection by the offshoot of a new place of residence, in the course of generations gives origin to a new name for this dismembered branch, which in time becomes the cognomen of a new tribe. For instance, in the process of time, certain of the Algonkin, or Algonquin, indians received the appellation Odah-Wang-Ottaway, meaning "trading people", they were the merchants, of the nation. Others were the Po - da - wand-um-eeg = Pottawatomies, or "Those who keep the fire." Others were, "Waul-un uk eeg." = Delaware, or "Eastern earth dwellers." So follow the Shaw-un eeg = Shawnees - "Southerners". The Osauq eeg = Saukies "Those who live at the entry." The Algonkine (proper) "O-dish- quag un eeg" "Last water people." The Omun o min-eeg = Minominies, "Wild rice people," The Odun - am eeg. "Foxes," "Those who live on the opposite side," Miamies = Maumees or O-mamm eeg "People who live on the peninsula. The Crees = "Ke mis-to wags", The "Musk e goes," or "omme-ka-goog" "Swamp people," and the Blackfeet or Pegau. This last tribe has from the lapse of time, and intimate association with the Dakotas almost lost its identity as a branch of the Algic stock, but such it seems really to be. It would seem that the preponderance of evidence points to the fact that the Algic, or Algonquin, and Ojibway races came from the east, and we can see many facts to prove the descent of this race at least, from the Phoenicians through the Scythian, Runic, Scandinavian, and Ancient Irish & Scots races, and doubtless back of all these in the Ancestral line stand the Egyptians. We trace this thread of descent not by philology, as the Indian has no written languages but by traits of character and customs peculiar to these various tribes. We have found by observation that the indian is not inventive, he is a mimic, will follow and repeat but in his native state never invents hence when we find him possessed of rites, and ceremonies peculiar to races extinct for centuries, we are forced to the
