MR. CATLIN'S NOTES ON THE CHIPPEWA INDIANS. 



As the Sioux own and occupy all the country on the west bank of the river in this 

 vicinity, so do the Cbippeways claim all lying east, from the mouth of the Chij>pe- 

 way River, at the outlet of Lake Pepin, to the source of the Mississippi ; and within 

 the month past, there have been 1,000 or more of them encamped here, on business 

 with the Indian agent and Sioux, witb whom they have recently bad some difficulty. 

 These two hostile foes, who have, time out of mind, been continually at war, are now 

 encamped here, on different sides of the fort ; and all difficulties having been ar- 

 ranged by their agent, in whose presence they have been making their speeches, for 

 these two weeks past, have been indulging in e,very sort of their amusements, uniting 

 in their dances, ball-plays, and other games ; and feasting and smoking together, only 

 to raise the war-cry and the tomahawk again, when they get upon their hunting 

 grounds.— G. C, Fort Snelling, 1835.
