Dans les districts périphériques, où jusqu'à présent les colonisements n'ont fait que peu de progrès, les Indiens continuent de toler leur vie libre, de piéger et de chasser, et les tables de theirmortality, bien que élevées, ne sont pas trop.

Very few Indians of to-day dress in blanket or deerskinsuch as were worn by their forefathers. Feathers arevery rarely seen, except on show-days or very highstate occasions, and the traveller arriving at some inlandtrading-post is disappointed to find that the Indians are 146.
