The above furnishes a very incorrect statement even of the tribes that are given, and some of 
the most important are omitted altogether. No conclusion can be drawn from it whatever. A 
more general one is contained in Captain Wilkes’s pamphlet on Western America, as 
follows:

Which is also much less than the actual number at that time. Yet more incorrect is the 
estimate of Lieutenants Warre and Vavasour, R. N., published in Martin’s “Hudson’s Bay 
Territories, &c.,” in 1849, though, as regards this part of the Territory, it is not so bad as the 
rest:
