A tabulated vocabulary of Mr. Howse, publishing by the Philological Society, is further evidence to the Athabaskan character of the Tsikanni language. _The Sussees_, or _Sarsees_.--On the head-waters of the Saskatchewan. It is not certain that the previous list is exhaustive of the northern Athabaskans. In Gallatin's enumeration we have, besides those enumerated-- 1. The Northern Indians on Hudson's Bay.--As these are mentioned in addition to the Chippewyans Proper, it is fair to suppose that they constitute a variety under that division. 2. The Birch-rind Indians, living near the Slave Lake, and probably most closely akin to the Hare Indians. 3. The Thickwood Hunters. 4. The Sheep Indians. 5. The Brushwood Indians. 6. The Nauscud-dennies of M'Kenzie's River. 7. The Slaoucud-dennies of M'Kenzie's River. 8. The Naotetains to the west of Tacullis. 9. The Nagail, or Chin Indians; are probably Tacullis under another name. In the Athabaskan language, _dinne_=_man_; so that we now understand the prevalence of that termination. The _Chippewyans Proper_ are called Saweesaw-_dinneh_. The _Birch-rind_ Indians are called Tan-_tsawhot-dinneh_. The _Dog-ribs_ are called Thlingeha-_dinneh_. On the other hand, the Thickwood, Sheep, and Brushwood Indians are called Edch-_tawoot_, Ambah-_tawoot_, and Tsillaw-_awdoot_, respectively; whilst the Hare Indians are called _Kancho_. Lastly, it should be added that, although Mr. Isbister makes the Nehannies Kolúch, Gallatin places them amongst the Athabaskans. A vocabulary of their language would probably settle the point. Such, however, is yet wanting. SOUTHERN ATHABASKANS. _Area._--A narrow strip at the mouth of the river Columbia, and along the sea-coast to the river Umkwa. _Divisions._--1. Kwalioqwa. 2. Tlatskanai. 3. Umkwa. 1. The Kwalioqwa, _north_ of the river Columbia, from which, and from the Tlatskanai, they are separated by the Tshinúks. Number, about 100. 2. The Tlatskanai, _south_ of the river Columbia, from which, and from the Kwalioqwa, they are separated by the Tshinúks. Number, about 100. 3. The Umkwa, occupying the upper part of the river so-called, about lat. 43°. Number, about 400. The first vocabulary of this section (one of the Umkwa language) was collected by Mr. Tolmie. The notice, however, of its affinities with the Tlatskanai and Kwalioqwa, and the more important discovery of its Athabaskan character, is one of many valuable additions made to Ethnographical Philology by Mr. Hales. I consider, for my own part, that the following table[108] justifies his classification. ENGLISH. CHIPPEWYAN. TLATSKANAI. UMKWA.
