Excerpt from Handbook of Indians of Canada: Published as an Appendix to the Tenth Report of the Geographic Board of Canada In 1907, the Bureau of American Ethnology published Part I (972 pages) of.the Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico and, in 1910, published Part II (1221 pages). This work which can be correctly characterized as monumental, was begun in 1873, and was completed in 1910, thirty - seven years later. The history of the undertaking is set forth in the Preface and need not be repeated here. As it contained an enormous amount of information relating to the Indians of Canada, geographical as well as ethnological, it was decided that the Geographic Board would republish this portion. Mr. F. W. Hodge having courteously accorded permission to reprint, the undersigned volunteered to supervise the publication. In publishing this work some changes have been made to bring the orthography into accord with English usage. Thus the 'u' has been inserted in such words as colour, favour, labour, etc. The forms discs, boulder, draughts man, etc., were substituted for disks, bowlder, draftsman, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
