snow banks. which for months are fonno
in drifts of from five to ten feet in depth
and numbers Of them are drowned in
crossing the Missouri river in large
herds, by crowding upon one another.
Col. Vaughan says that the Black
Feet Indians have the reputat ion Of be-
ing large and powerful alton, and
are a terror TO all the surrounding
tribes, except the Sioux. They are a
wild, roaming, reckless people, commit
ting murders, and stealing every thing
that comes in their way. They inhab
it an extensive country lying between
the head wa,.rs Of the Missouri and the
waters Of the Hudson Bay.
They extend their war expeditions as
far south as the river Platte. They pos
sess large number of horses, most of
which they steal. Each ones wealth is
estimated by the number Of horses he
has. But few OF these Indians have less
than two wives. the common number
is four, and many having ten. Al times
many jealousies exist among them
They have a favorile among their wives.

form harder labor than is required OF
any Of our slaves by the hardest master.
The language Of the Black Feet is to-
tally different from any other. They
hare never made treaty with the Gov
ernment. The larger portion Of the
Black Feet tribe is composed of women,
The cause Of this is that large mum
ber Of their young men are annually
killed in their war expeditions, hence|
their number of wives. +
