Quebec, and it became the seat of the 

 Jesuit mission of Saint Francis Regis. 

 The village rapidly increased in popula- 

 tion, and in 1806 received a considerable 

 part of those who had been driven from 

 Oswegatchie. When the boundary be- 

 tween the two countries was surveyed the 

 village was found to be thereon, and since 

 then a part of the reservation has been 

 under control of the United States, while 

 the rest is under the Canadian govern- 

 ment. The St Regis Indians numbered 

 2,850 in 1909, having 1,501 in Quebec 

 and 1,349 in New York. They have 

 sometimes been known as " Praying In- 

 dians," and formed a part of the " Seven 

 Nations of Canada." (j. m. )
