Attikamegue (Chippewa: lull'k 'cari- 

 bou,' mag 'fish': ' whitefish.'- — VV. J.). 

 A band of the Montagnais residing, when 

 first known, in Quebec province, n. of the 

 St Maurice basin (Jes. Rel. 1636,37,1858), 

 and accustomed to ascend the St Lawrence 

 to trade with the French. Charlevoix 

 says their chief residence was on a lake 

 connected with the St Maurice. Tliey 

 were so harassed Ijy the attacks of the 

 Iroquois that a part at least tied to the 

 vicinity of Tadoussac. They were so 

 nearly destroyed by smallpox in 1670 that 

 they became extinct as a tribe. They 

 were esteemed by the missionaries as a 

 quiet, inoffensive people, readily disposed 

 to receive religious instruction, (j. m. )

 settlement has decayed owing to the 

 gradual disappearance of the sea otter.

Attucks, Crispus. An Indian-negro half- 

 blood of Framingham, Mass., near Bos- 

 ton, noted as the leader and first person 

 slain in the Boston massacre of Mar. 

 5, 1770, the first hostile encounter be- 

 tween the Americans and the British 

 troops, and therefore regarded by histo- 

 rians as the opening fight of the great 

 Revolutionary struggle. In con.sequence 

 of the resistance of the people of Boston 

 to the enforcement of the recent tax laws 

 a detachment of British troops had been 

 stationed in the town, to the great irrita- 

 tion of the citizens. On Mar. 5 this feel- 

 ing culminated in an attack on the troops, 

 in front of the old State House, by a crowd 

 made up largely of sailors, and said to have 

 been led by Attucks, although this asser- 

 tion has been denied by some. The 

 troops retaliated by firing into the party, 

 killing four men, of whom Attucks was 

 the first to fall. A monument to his mem- 

 ory was erected in Boston Common by the 

 commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1888. 

 Although the facts in regard to his per- 

 sonality are disputed, the evidence goes 

 to show that Attucks was a sailor, almost a 

 giant in stature, the son of a negro father 

 and an Indian mother of Framingham, 

 or the neighboring village of Natick, 

 formerly the principal Indian mission 

 settlement of Massachusetts. The name 

 Attucks, derived from his mother, ap- 

 pears to be the Natick (Massachuset) 

 ahtuk, or attuks, 'small deer.' See G.

 clop. Am. Biog. ; Am. Hist. Rec, i, Nov.,
