"A family designation ... retained for the tribes of the Queen Charlotte Archipelago which have usually been called Haida. From a comparison of the vocabularies of the Haida language with others of the neighboring Koluschan family, Dr. Franz Boas is inclined to consider that the two are genetically related. The two languages possess a considerable number of words in common, but a more thorough investigation is requisite for the settlement of the question." _J. W. Powell, Seventh Annual Report, Bureau of Ethnology, page 120._ AMERICAN ABORIGINES: Snakes. See above: SNOSHONEAN FAMILY. AMERICAN ABORIGINES: Stockbridge Indians. "The Stockbridge Indians were originally a part of the Housatannuck Tribe [Mohegans], to whom the Legislature of Massachusetts granted or secured a township [afterward called Stockbridge] in the year 1736. Their number was increased by Wappingers and Mohikanders, and perhaps also by Indians belonging to several other tribes, both of New England and New York. Since their removal to New Stockbridge and Brotherton, in the western parts of New York, they have been joined by Mohegans and other Indians from East Connecticut, and even from Rhode Island and Long Island." _A. Gallatin, Synopsis of Indian Tribes (Archæologia Americana, volume 2), page 35._ ALSO IN _A. Holmes, Annals of America, 1736 (volume 2)_. _S. G.
