THE GEORGE CATLIN INDIAN GALLERY. 



Au act of the Domiuion Parliament of 1884, which took effect Jan- 

 uary 1, 1885, provides for a system of municipal organization by which 

 Indians may have the regulation of their own affairs in their own hands. 



The most serious evils that the Canadian Indian report of 1884 shows 

 that the authorities have had to meet among the Indians was the use of 

 whisky by the Indians, and quarrels arising from dissensions among 

 missionaries. 



Treaties that have been made in the past are respected, and the In- 

 dian treated as a ward. All obligations are scrupulously regarded and 

 kept by the Government. 



Violence and outbreaks are few. For three years prior to 1885 not a 

 white man was killed by an Indian in the IS'orthwest. Outside influ- 

 ences have, however, sometimes worked bloodshed. 



The total population January 1, 1885, was 131,953; January 1, 1886, 

 it was 129,325, a decrease of 2,627 in one year. 



TJxe following names of tribes and their residences in Canada are given
