bright copper colour, with aquiline noses and 

 black, lively eyes. The women have high cheek 

 bones, oval faces, and regular features. Both 

 men" and women are of a social, sprightly make. 

 The men are tall and well formed, and the women, 

 though smaller, are equally well shaped, and 

 rather handsome, than otherwise. Their dress 

 consists of a shift made of dressed deer skins, and 

 reaches from the chin, below the knee, to the mid- 

 dle of the leg, with short sleeves. It is secured 

 round the waist by a belt of wampum. They 

 wear moccasons and leggins, and in the winter 

 a buffaloe robe, thrown over their shoulders. 

 The men wear a wide strip of leather, about three 

 feet long, which they draw between their legs, 

 and fasten it around the middle by a belt. They 

 have long leggins and moccasons, and a buffaloe 

 robe over their shoulders. 



These Indians raise corn, beans, melons, 

 pumpkins and tobacco. Their tobacco differs 

 from that which is raised by white people. It 

 has a smaller stalk, that grows about eighteen 

 inches high, with long, narrow leaves, and is only 

 used for smoking. The Indians never chew, 

 nor snuff tobacco. They carry on, at these villa- 

 ges, a considerable commerce with these produc- 

 tions ; having much more than they want for their 

 own consumption; It is a barter trade with 

 neighbouring nations, who never cultivate the 

 ground, for such articles of European goods, as 

 they have procured at the British establishments.,
