THE INDLV.N'?

between two and ihree thousand Iih'';"'"''
including women and children
made iheir jisual and annual visiuVM

presents from the British Indian '
at that place. The week before last'
editor of this paper was at Maid >
which time nearly fifteen hundred^I’',^'
assembled. A part were encanincd
Bois Blanc Island, opposite ^^alden '
the greater part had “pitched theirt^t-
a short distance above the villai>e I '
the latter place there were aboul
thousand, more than one-half of vl^'^''
were women and children, and thevi'^’’^
sen ted a tout ensemhlv. of a truly nov'd '’i
interesiingcharacler,and calculated
than any thing else to revive the im-),
sions which almost every one recciv
on i)erusing the wanderings of ih,.
fering tribes of Israel through the tnrl
less vvilderness. Here could be seen tl'
slothful and ragged Chippewa, with
dirty wives and children, from the vicir'
ity of Saginaw—the almost equals
gusting Potiawoiomie, from the southq
Lake Michigan—the robust and wmV' I
Sack, from the Mississippi—and'a IV^
Indians of all the several tribes aiij 1'
milies in the peninsula of Michira„ xi
!;ether with those who reside on 'tlieo-'
er side of our boundaries. With i!,c rj
cep; ion «>f the Sacks, there appcaivd .
uniformity in tlie dress of those Iiuh n"
tiiat pretended to wear any-it coiisiVie,*
a calico or coarsc cotton shirt, lf,n-
^gins, mockasins and blankcf^th.
Sacks, we believe, never wear a shiV;
considering it a garment belonging ex'
clusively to the female sex—soineVihtni
wear leggins. and all have a blanket'
which they usually wear so as to e.\r)ose
their right arm and shoulder—theirhai:-
is shav»‘d close to the scalp, with the ex
ception of a narrow strip, reaching from
a little forward of the crown down the
back of the head—this hair is made to
stand erect, is about four or six inches
long, painted red, and decorated vviih
feathers. The finest forms, either for
strength or beauty, are among the Sack?.
During the day, the Indians would be cm-
ployed in receiving their presents, phy
ing at someol their games, or wandcriii;^
about the village in quest of litiuor-
many were continually intoxicated in the
streets, to the great anno\-:;nce of the in
habitants ; but at night there were iiumcr-
t)us ponwrs, and nearly the whole tiI^l^
until the break of day, was employed b-
the Beveral partirji in singing, druinmiii;
and dancing. This visit for prcsonis
may properly be called Indian Vm-it,
raJ.
It is to us a matter of astonishment,
that the British governmetit coiitimies
the policy of giving, annually, such a v as-
amount of presents lo the Indians/uwc
in our territory. H.ave these gifts any con
nection with ulterior views, or are they
made as a reward for the past servicesol'
the recipients i If future objects are in
tended, and those objects are hustilf,
either lo our peace or interests, the [gov
ernment of England will most assuicdly
find itself in an t'rror, and that this ex
penditure is worse than useless. And,
considering the use that a great minibc:-
of the Indians make of the present.',
which they receive, we cannot relrani
m sav ing, that for the most part they
are a curse rather than a beneilt. It isi
well known fact; that a great proportijn
of these presents are disposetl ol, either
among the C’aiuulians or our own vvlus-
key-dealing gentry, for rum and vlii'-key.
and to this cause alone can we attnbu'.'
the nuisances, in the shape of in:iK’a-i.
female savages, wl^ich yearly, in .ItJiio
and July, infest onKstivets and houses.
We have heard that it has been (Ic'aT-
mined by the British governiiu’nt to

to the Indians: the annual expcndi'u'''’
