Vocabulary of the Dialects. 



I shall here give a few words of Northern and Chippeway 

 Indian language, which I wrote down during my stay at Fort 

 York, beginning with that of the Oochepayyans, or northern 

 Indians. I am principally indebted to Mr. Swaine, one of the 

 inland governors, to whom I take this opportunity of return- 

 ing many thanks for the kind and polite attention which I 

 received from him while at York Fort.
