Gently been reported, have been on the road TO
| destruction ever since the advance of civlllza-
| ton reached them in 1865. They were called
| the Sakitifax Nation, or People of the Plains,
| twenty years ago numbered 10000 souls, were
| brave and warlike, but generally well be-
| haved, and had one of the most perfect sys-
| TENS of government ever known among
| North American red men. The nation was
| composed of several tribes, all subject to one
| council, and all speaking the same language
| and each tribe was subdivided into bands
| with a somewhat elaborate system OF chiefs
| and medicine men. They worshiped the sun,
| and had custom of sacrificing young girl
| to it every year. When the white men came,
| however, the red ones adopted their vices and
committed so many Outrages that military
| expedition went to punish them, and did Its
work SO effectually as to cripple the tribe loI
all time.
