  The 
  vocabulary 
  referred 
  by 
  Gallatin 
  1 
  to 
  " 
  Queen 
  Charlotte's 
  Isl- 
  

   ands 
  " 
  unquestionably 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  present 
  family. 
  In 
  addition 
  

   to 
  being 
  a 
  compound 
  word 
  and 
  being 
  objectionable 
  as 
  a 
  family 
  name 
  

   on 
  account 
  of 
  its 
  unwieldiness, 
  the 
  term 
  is 
  a 
  purely 
  geographic 
  one 
  

   and 
  is 
  based 
  upon 
  no 
  stated 
  tribe; 
  hence 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  eligible 
  for 
  use 
  in 
  

   systematic 
  nomenclature. 
  As 
  it 
  appears 
  in 
  the 
  Archajologia 
  Ameri- 
  

   cana 
  it 
  represents 
  nothing 
  but 
  the 
  locality 
  whence 
  the 
  vocabulary 
  of 
  

   .in 
  unknown 
  tribe 
  was 
  received. 
  

  

  The 
  family 
  name 
  to 
  be 
  considered 
  as 
  next 
  in 
  order 
  of 
  date 
  is 
  the 
  

   Northern 
  (or 
  Haidah) 
  of 
  Scouler, 
  which 
  appears 
  in 
  volume 
  xi, 
  Eoyal 
  

   Geographical 
  Society, 
  page 
  218, 
  et 
  seq. 
  The 
  term 
  as 
  employed 
  by 
  

   Scouler 
  is 
  involved 
  in 
  much 
  confusion, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  somewhat 
  difficult 
  

   to 
  determine 
  just 
  what 
  tribes 
  the 
  author 
  intended 
  to 
  cover 
  by 
  the 
  

   designation. 
  Reduced 
  to 
  its 
  simplest 
  form, 
  the 
  case 
  stands 
  as 
  fol- 
  

   lows: 
  Scolder's 
  primary 
  division 
  of 
  the 
  Indians 
  of 
  the 
  Northwest 
  was 
  

   int.. 
  two 
  groups, 
  the 
  insular 
  and 
  the 
  inland. 
  The 
  insular 
  (and 
  coast 
  

   tribes) 
  were 
  then 
  subdivided 
  into 
  two 
  families, 
  viz, 
  Northern 
  or 
  

   Haidah 
  family 
  (for 
  the 
  terms 
  are 
  interchangeably 
  used, 
  as 
  on 
  page 
  

   224) 
  and 
  the 
  Southern 
  or 
  Nootka-Columbiau 
  family. 
  Under 
  the 
  

   Northern 
  or 
  Haidah 
  family

  author 
  classes 
  all 
  the 
  Indian 
  tribes
