  LINGUISTIC 
  FAMILIES. 
  

  

  The 
  Cheyenne 
  and 
  Arapaho, 
  two 
  allied 
  tribes 
  of 
  this 
  stock, 
  had 
  

   become 
  separated 
  from 
  their 
  kindred 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  and 
  had 
  forced 
  

   their 
  way 
  through 
  hostile 
  tribes 
  across 
  the 
  Missouri 
  to 
  the 
  Black 
  

   Hills 
  country 
  of 
  South 
  Dakota, 
  and 
  more 
  recently 
  into 
  Wyoming 
  

   and 
  Colorado, 
  thus 
  forming 
  the 
  advance 
  guard 
  of 
  the 
  Algonquian 
  

   stock 
  in 
  that 
  direction, 
  having 
  the 
  Siouan 
  tribes 
  behind 
  them 
  and 
  

   those 
  of 
  the 
  Shoshonean 
  family 
  in 
  front.

  Population. 
  — 
  The 
  present 
  number 
  of 
  the 
  Algonquian 
  stock 
  is 
  about 
  

   95,600, 
  of 
  whom 
  about 
  60,000 
  are 
  in 
  Canada 
  and 
  the 
  remainder 
  in 
  the 
  

   United 
  States. 
  Below 
  is 
  given 
  the 
  population 
  of 
  the 
  tribes 
  officially 
  

   recognized, 
  compiled

   It 
  is 
  impossible 
  to 
  give 
  exact 
  figures, 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  in 
  many 
  

   instances 
  two 
  or 
  more 
  tribes 
  are 
  enumerated 
  together,

  many 
  

   individuals 
  are
