M'Kenzie (D. M.) The vocabularies of 

 the Blackfeet, of the Crows or Upsa- 

 rokas, and of the Grosveutre, Rapid, or 

 Fall Indians who call themselves Ahne- 

 nin; by D. M. M'Kenzie of the St. 

 Louis American Furr Comp. 



Manuscript, furnished by the Hon. Albert 

 Gallatin to Dr. James Cowles Prichard, by 

 whom it was loaned to Dr. E. G-. Latham, from 

 whose '"Opuscula" (1860), p. 379, the above title 

 is copied. 



Extracts from the manuscript are printed in 

 Latham (R. G.), Opuscula, London, 1860, pp. 

 276-283, 379-380, with the Blackfoot and Crow 

 vocabularies, pp. 380-384. 



On p. 378 Dr. Latham suggests a doubt as to 

 the accuracy of the word Ahnenin and asks 

 should it not be Atsina, in which he is right. 



The vocabularies are referred toby Dr. Prich- 

 ard as follows : ' ' Mr. Gallatin has had the kind- 

 ness to communicate to me the vocabularies of 

 the languages of the Black-feet Indians, of the 

 Crows or Upsarokas, and of the Gros Ventres 

 or Rapid or Fall Indians, who call themselves 

 Ahnenin. These vocabularies are in manu- 

 script ; they were collected since the publica- 

 tion of Mr. Gallatin's work by Mr. Mackenzie, 

 a very intelligent man, who resides at the junc- 

 tion of the Yellow -Stone and the Missouri 

 rivers as principal agent of the St. Louis 

 American Fur Company, and who trades prin- 

 cipally with these nations." — Researches into the 

 Physical Hist, of Mankind, vol. 5 (1847), p. 414. 



Mr. Gallatin, in his introduction to "Hale's 

 Indians of North- West America" (Am. Ethno- 

 logical Society's Trans. li(1848), cxi), refers to 

 the author as "Mr. Kennet McKenzie, the ac- 

 tive partner of the St. Louis Fur Company, 

 who has resided twenty years near the mouth 

 of the Yellowstone River, and to whom we are 

 indebted for the best vocabularies of the lan- 

 guages of the Blackfeet, the Upsarokas or 

 Crows, and several other tribes." 



In the same volume Mr. Gallatin gives ex- 

 tracts from the Blackfoot vocabulary, com- 

 pared with Algonkin, pp. cxiii-cxiv, and the 

 words marked M in the vocabulary on pp. 88, 90, 

 92, 94.
