Tatlitkutcllin ( ' Peel river people' ). A 

 Kutchin tribe, closely allied to the Tuk- 

 kuthkutchin, living on the e. bank of 

 Peel r., Brit. Col., between lat. 66° and 

 67°. For a part of the season they hunt 

 on the mountains, uniting sometimes with 

 parties of the Tukkuthkutchin. They 

 confine their hunting to the caribou, as 

 they no longer have moose hunters among 

 thein. In 1866 they numbered 30 hun- 

 ters and 60 men.

Tatsakutchin ('rampart people') A 

 subdivision of the Kutchakutchin for- 

 merly dwelling on both sides of Yukon r., 

 Alaska, at the mouth of Tanana r. They 

 numbered about 50 hunters, who visited 

 Ft Yukon yearly prior to 1863, but in 

 that year they, with the Tennuthkutchin, 

 were destroyed by scarlet fever. At the 

 junction of these streams was a neutral 

 trading point or village, Nuklukayet, 

 originally belonging to the Tenankutchin, 

 where all the tribes inhaVjiting the banks 

 of the rivers were accustomed to meet in 

 the spring. Besides this village the 

 Tatsakutchin resided in Senati.

Tatsanottine ('people of the scum of 

 water, ' scum being a figurative expression 



for copper). An Athapascan tribe, be- 

 longing to the Chipewyan group, inhabit- 

 ing the northern shores and eastern bays 

 of Great Slave lake, Mackenzie Dist., 

 Canada. They were said by Mackenzie in 

 1789 to live with other tribes on Macken- 

 zie and Peace rs. Franklin in 1824 (Journ. 

 Polar Sea, i, 76, 1824) said that they had 

 previously lived on the s. side of Great 

 Slave lake. Gallatin in 1836 (Trans. Am. 

 Antiq. vSoc, ii, 19, 1856) gave their loca- 

 tion as N. of Great Slave lake on Yellow 

 Knife r., while Back placed them on the 

 w. shore of Great Slave lake. Drake ( Bk. 

 Inds., vii, 1848) located them on Cop- 

 permine r. ; Richardson (Arct. Exped., 

 II, 4, 1851) gave their habitat as n. of 

 Great Slave lake and from Great Fish r. 

 to Coppermine r. Hind in 1863 (Labra- 

 dor Penin., ii, 261, 1863) placed them n. 

 and N. E. of Great Slave lake, saying that 

 they resorted to Ft Rae and also to Ft 

 Simpson on Mackenzie r. Petitot in 1865 

 (MS., B. A. E. ) said they frequent the 

 steppes E. and n. e. of Great Slave lake; 

 but 10 years later (Diet. Dene-Dindjie, xx, 

 1876) he located them about the e. part 

 of the lake. They were more nomadic 

 than their neighbors, which doubtless 

 accounts for the wide area ascribed to 

 them by some of the earlier travelers who 

 met them during their hunting trips in 

 territory belonging to the Etchareottine. 

 Prior to 1850 they were in the habit of 

 visiting the n. end of Great Bear lake to 

 hunt muskoxen and reindeer; but many 

 of their influential men were killed by 

 treachery in a feud with the Thlingcha- 

 dinne; since then they have kept more 

 to the E. end of Great Slave lake. In 

 their hunting trips northward they came 

 in contact with the Eskimo residing near 

 the mouth of Back r., with whom they 

 were continually at war, but in recent 

 years they seldom traveled farther coast- 

 ward than the headwaters of Yellow 

 Knife r., leaving a strip of neutral 

 ground between them and their former 

 enemies. According to Father Morice, 

 "they now hunt on the dreary steppea 

 lying to the n. e. of Great Slave lake," 

 and that formerly they were "a bold, 

 unscrupulous and rather licentious tribe, 

 whose members too often took advantage 

 of thegentlenessof their neighbors to com- 

 mit acts of highhandedness which finally 

 brought down on them what we cannot 

 help calling just retribution" (Anthropoa, 

 I, 266, 1906). Back, in 1836, stated that the 

 Tatsanottine were once powerful and 

 numerous, but at that time they had 

 been reduced by wars to 70 families. 

 Ross in 1859 (MS., B. A. E. ) made the 

 census for the Hudson's Bay Company as 

 follows, but his figures evidently included 

 onlv one band: At Ft Resolution, 207; at 

 Ft Rae, 12; total, 219, of whom 46 males 

 and 54 females were married, 8 unmar-
