They Are Hunters In the Strietcst
Sense Of the Word.
During nine months of the year
fall. winter and spring-the Monta-
gnais Indians of Canada spend their
lives in the "bush." hunting and trap
ping for pelts and meats. Then in
June they rendezvous at the particular
Hudson Bay company post where they
belong. trade off their hunt and settle
down for rest and recreation until the
middle of August. when they are OF
again for the winter. They have abso-
lutely nothing to do with the cultiva-
ton Of the soil. being hunters in the
strictest sense Of the wcrd. The In
dams who hunt about Lake Mistassini
form subtribe by themselves. hav-
ing the same name as the lake. and
their summer rendezvous Is at the
Hudson Bay company post on the
lake. Those who hunt south Of Mis-
tassini on the shores and tributaries
of the Ashuapmonchouan river bear
the name Of that stream. Those on
the Nekonba river bear it's name, and
those who hunt nearer Lake st. John
are known by the Indian name Of that
lake. Pikonagami. All of these bands
rendezvous on the west shore of Lake
st. John, at Pointe Bleue. where the
government has set aside Il reserve
and attempted to colonize the hunters
and teach them to become farmers.
East of Lake st. John is the Chicouti-
mi band, now much reduced, and
southeast of them the Tadousac band,
both of which are to be found distrib-
uted over the French Canadian dis
tricts Of the same names. There are
several other bands farther down to-
ward the gulf of St Lawrence.-South-
