counties will be compelled to spend
an equal amount; for $4,000. half as
much; for 327.s0O. one-third. and for

somewhere In the state Of New York.
The Poosepatucks once occupied tho
Long Island shore from Patchogue to
the Shinnock country. In 1856 Chief
Tobaccus was given . reservation Of
80 acres on Forge river near Mastic,
Long Island, and in 1882 Elizabeth Joe,
the tribes woman sachem and its last
chief. died. In 1890 the tribe num-
bered ten families. governed by three
trustees. and in 1910, the last census
year, the government nose hunters
could md but one Poosepatuck left.
In Virginia the census enumerators
found the last Of the tribe Of the Mat.
tapony, the red men whom doughty old
Capt. John Smith, he who was saved
by Pocahontas, called the Malta
pament." This was one of the smaller
tribes Of the powerful Powhattan con-
federacy and the Jamestown colonists
heard their war whoops and the whis-
tic OF their arrows. In 1906 the Mat
tapony lived on the Mattapony river
in Virginia, and when Thomas Jeffer-
SON wrote about them in his Notes
on Virginia" in 1926. tho tribe num-
bered only 20 souls, most of them

lated to the Pamunkey tribe of Vir-
ginia.

Back in the days when the Puritans
quarreled with the Manhattan Dutch
over the fertile acres along the Con-
necticut river. the Nantes lived on
the Connecticut coast, subject to the
Pequots who nearly exterminated the
tribe in the PeQuot war Of 1887. Their
victors placed the Nantes under the
rule of the Mohegans. Colonial his
tory records the fact that in 1858 there
were about a hundred Niantics In Con-
necticut and this number had dwin-
died to IS in 1851. A few years later
most OF them joined the Brotherton
Indians in New York and were benevo-
lently assimilated. Another Mantle
tribe lived in Rhode Island and, by
refusing to take part against the
whites in the King Phillip war, re-
tanned their tribal integrity for a time.
but. rs they were closely related to
the Narragansets they. eventually.
were absorbed into that tribe.
When Cavelier La Sale. in 1892,
wrote back to France about the In
dams around his fort on the Illinois
river where Peoria now stands, he
mentioned the Piankashaws. a tribe
which figured largely in the story of
Indiana and Illinois. Their ancient
village was on the Wabash river near
the junction with the Vermilion. They
occasionally spread over into Illinois
and from all accounts were particular
ly pestjferouA in their intercourse with
the whites. In 1882, with some neigh
boring tribes, they moved into Kansas
and later consolidated with the Illini,
known as Peorias and Kaskaskias.

just AFTER the civil war the connOli-
dated tribes sold their Kansas land
and emigrated to Indian territory.
where they were known as Peorias.
At that time the Piankashaws num-
bered something less than one hun

and both were counted among the Ok
lahoma Indians. The PiankashAw
members could become citisens Of the
United States BY treaty stipulation.

always were in trouble with the white
pioneers. and in 1871 United States
troops cleaned out . number of their
villages. In 1890 they moved, with the
Piankashaws, into Illinois and then
Kansas. and they, too. stipulated In
their peace treaty with the govern
ment that their males could become
citizens.
Some OF the tribes whose names
were frequently mentioned in the
quaint reports of colonial times and
who gave the heroes and heroines to
the early writer's of romantic Indian
tales. now are represented by mere
handfuls. some Of them living far
from the homes Of their ancestors.
Thus, Of the Mohavks there are only
1858 on the census rolls: the Cayugas
number but 81; the Mohegans have
dwindled to %; the Montauks to 20:
the Narragansets to q paltry Is; the
Pamunkeys to SO; the Pequots to Sc;
the Powhatans to 1871; the Passama-
quoddies to 1858; the Chickahominies
to lis; the Catawbas to 1874: the Shin
necocks to 1877; and the Penobscots to
266. But there are still 914 Della
wares; 2,436 Oneidas; 1907 Senecas;
533 stockbridges: and 400 Tusca-
roras.
The figures given in the report of
the commissioner Of Indian affairs do
not agree with the census figures, for
the commissioner shows q steady In
crease in Indian population from 1885,
900 in 1890 to 297.023 in 1910. The In
dams are divided into $50 tribes COM
prising So linguistic stocks. The most
important tribes. numerically. are the
Cherokee, with 31,489 members; the
Navajo, with 22.455; the Chippewa,
with 2O,214; the Choctaw, with 1917,
and the Teton Sioux, with 1924.
Thirty.nine other tribes have over
1000 members each.
