Tsattine ('dwellers among the bea- 

 vers'). An Athapascan tribe, belonging 

 to the Sekani group, who roam over the 

 wide prairies s. of Peace r. and e. of the 

 Rocky nits. Mackenzie spoke of them as 

 one of the small tribes of Rocky Moun- 

 tain Indians living in the Chipewyan 

 country and speaking their language 

 (Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll., 2d s., ii, 42, 1814). 

 On his map he locates them between 

 Peace r. and Liard r. , and says their name 

 is derived from that of an affluent of the 

 latter. It was, however. Peace r. that 

 they called Tsades, 'the river of beavers' 

 (Petitot, La INIer Glaciale, 292, 1887), and 

 was the source of the supply of beaver 

 furs earlv in the 19th centurv. Ross 

 (MS., B."A. E.) said in 1858 that they 

 resided in the country along Peace r. 



from below Ft Vermilion to the Rocky 

 mts., roaming as far as the upper Hay r. 

 on one side and a little Slave lake on 

 the other. Gibbs ( MS. , B. A. E. ) located 

 them w. of L. Athabasca, on Peace r. 

 Hind (Labrador Renin., ii, 261, I860) said 

 that they resorted to Fts Vermillion and 

 Dunvegan. Petitot (Diet. Dene Dindji^, 

 XX, 1876) said that they hunted along 

 Peace r. and that they formerly included 

 the Sarsi. Dawson (Rep. Geol. Surv. 

 Can., 1879-80, 51, 1881) gave their terri- 

 tory as along Peace r. n. to Battle r., e. 

 to Simonelle r. to the fork of Smoky r., 

 and w. to the portage of the Mountain of 

 Rocks on Peace r., where they mingled 

 with the Sekani. Morice (Trans. Can. 

 Inst., 113, 1889) placed them in his East- 

 ern Dene division of the Athapascan, 

 following the classification of Ross and 

 Gibbs, and gave their habitat as along 

 Peace r., trading at Hudson's Hope and 

 Ft St John. In 1890 he stated that they 

 inhabited both sides of Peace r. from 

 Hudson's Hope to Ft Dunvegan. They 

 are bolder and braver than their neigh- 

 bors on the N. and superior in most ways 

 to the Chipewyan, whom they much re- 

 semble in features, customs, and moral 

 character. Their dialect is softer than 

 that of the other Tinne tribes, it having 

 been modified by their intercourse with 

 the Cree. Possessing horses and subsist- 

 ing jjrincipally on the products of the 

 chase, they are more nomadic than the 

 other mountain tribes. They are good 

 workers in iron and make neat spurs and 

 crooked knives out of w'orn-out files. 

 In 1858 Ross found 35 of the tribe at Ft 

 Resolution, on Great Slave lake. In 1889 

 Morice gave their supposed population 

 for the entire tribe as 800, in 1906 as 700.

 was once occupied by some of their peo- 

 ple who went to livewith the Hopi (see
