Almost all civilized Indians; many of them citizens of the United States. Slightly- 

 decreasing. 



In 1885 United States commissioners visited the Chippewas and prevailed upon 

 them to consent to a reduction of some of their reservations and to lands in severalty. 



I-RO-QUOIS. 



[Not now known officially to laws of United States or Indian Bureau.] 



A small remnant of a tribe who were once very numerous and warlike, inhabiting 

 the northern part of New York; only a few scattered individuals now living, who 

 arc merged in the neighboring tribes. 



196. N6t-to-way, a chief; a temperate and excellent man, with a beautiful head- 



dress on. Painted in 1831. 



(Plate No. 20G, pages 106, 107, vol. 2, Catlin's Eight Years.) 

 N6t-o-way, the Thinker, was an excellent man, and was handsomely dressed for 

 his picture. I had much conversation with him, and became very much attached 

 to him. He seemed to be quite ignorant of the early history of his tribe, as well as 

 of the position and condition of its few scattered remnants, who are yet in existence. 

 He told me, however, that he had always learned that the Iroquois had conquered 

 nearly all the world ; but the Great Spirit being offended at the great slaughters by 

 his favorite people, resolved to punish them ; and he sent a dreadful disease amongst 

 them that carried the most of them off, and all the rest that could be found were 

 killed by their enemies; that though he was an Iroquois, which he was proud to 

 acknowledge to me, as I was to "make him live after he was dead," he wished it to 

 be generally thought that he was a Chippeway, that he might live as long as the 

 Great Spirit had wished it when he made him. — G. C. 



197. Ghee-ah-kd-tchee, wife of N6t-to-way (No. 196). 



(See page 106, vol. 2, Catlin's Eight Years.) 



Mr. Catlin made no outline drawing of this picture, and does not 

 mention it in the text descriptive of her husband's picture, viz, No. 196.
