[B. A. E. 



1893) that copper and iron implements 

 and ornaments were used by them be- 

 fore the advent of the whites, but that 

 they wrought copper only. He classes 

 them as Upper and Lower Carriers and 

 Babines, although such a distinction is 

 not recognized by the tribe itself. They 

 have a society composed of hereditary 

 "noblemen" or landowners, and a lower 

 class who hunt with or for these; but 

 slavery, as it exists among the neighbor- 

 ing Athapascan tribes, is not practised 

 by them. They have no head chiefs and 

 are exogamous, all title and property 

 rights descending through the mother. 

 Each band or clan has a well-defined 

 hunting ground, which is seldom en- 

 croached on by others of the tribe. 

 They are not so numerous now as for- 

 merly, a number of their villages having 

 become extinct. An independent band 

 has settled at Ft McLeod, in the Sekani 

 country. Drake (Bk. Inds., viii, 1848) 

 said that in 1820 they numbered 100; 

 Anderson (Hist. Mag.,_ vii,_ 73, 1863) 

 estimated the population in 1835 as 

 5,000, and in 1839 as 2,625, of which 

 number 897 were men, 688 women, 578 

 sons, and 462 daughters. Morice (Proc. 

 Can. Inst., 112, 1889) gave the population 

 as 1,600. The number reported in 1902 

 was 1,551, and 1,614 in 1909. Hale 

 (Ethnol. and Philol., 201, 1846) and Mc- 

 Donald (Brit. Col., 126, 1862) divided 

 them into 11 clans, as follows: Babine 

 (Nataotin and Hwosotenne), Naskotin, 

 Natliatin, Nikozliautin, Ntshaautin, Nu- 

 laautin, Tatshiautin, Tautin, Thetliotin, 

 Tsatsuotin (Tanotenne), and Tsilkotin. 

 The Tsilkotin are a distinct group, 

 as determined by Morice (Trans. Can. 

 Inst., 24, 1893), who gives 9 septs 

 of the TakuUi: I, fSouthern Carriers: 



I, Ltautenne (Tautin); 2, Nazkutenne 

 (Naskotin); 3, Tanotenne; 4, Nutcatenna 

 (Ntshaautin); 5, Natlotenne (Natliatin). 



II, Northern Carriers: 6, Nakraztlitenne 

 (Nikozliautin); 7, Tlaztenne (Tatshiau- 

 tin). Ill, Babines: 8, Nitutinni (Na- 

 taotin); 9, Hwotsotenne. Dawson (Rep. 

 Progr. Geol. Surv., 30b, 1880) makes 

 the Kustsheotin, whose village is Kezche, 

 distinct from the Tatshiautin, the Tat- 

 shikotin from the Nulaautin, and the 

 Stelatin of Stella village from the Nat- 

 liatin.

Takutine. A Nahane tribe living on 

 Teslin r. and lake and upper Taku r., Brit. 

 Col., speaking the same dialect as the 

 Tahltan. Their himting grounds include 

 the basin of Big Salmon r., extending n. 

 to the Pelly r, and e. to upper Liard r. 

 Dall (Proc. A. A. A. S., 19, 1885) as well 

 as Dawson called them a part of the 

 Tahltan. Dawson (Geol. Surv. Can., 201b, 

 1889) classes them as distinct from a tribe 

 of similar name in the upper Pelly valley, 

 but they are probably the same, and so also 

 are probal)ly tlie Nehane of Chilkatr., 

 living on a stream that falls into Lewes r. 

 near L. Labarge. Dall describes the latter 

 as bold and enterprising, great traders, and 

 of great intelligence, while the Takutine, 

 he said (Cont. N. A. Ethnol., i, 33, 1877), 

 are few in number and little known.
