INDIAN TRIBES OF WASHINGTON TERRITORY. 

 Lewis and Clark s Estimate 1806 and 1807. 



417 



Captain Willies s Estimate 1841. 



Names of Tribes. 



Population. 



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 : 



Names of Tribes. 



Population. 



Kitunana 



Flatheads 



Nez Perces 



Wallah-Wallahs 



400 

 3,000 

 2,000 

 2,200 



Total population 



7,600 



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 &quot;Hudson s Bay 

 Territories, &c.,&quot; in 1849, though, as regards this part of the Territory, it is not so bad as the 

 rest:
