by the English, wander over, or inhabit all the
country to the south of the lake of the Mountains,
as far as the lakes of Canada, and from Hudson’s
Bay to lake Winnipeg. The Knisteneaux are of a
moderate stature, are well proportioned, and pos-
sess a remarkable degree of activity. Black and
piercing eyes animate their agreeable and open
countenance. They point their face of different
colours. They wear asimple and convenient dress,
cut and ornamented with taste; but sometimes
they hunt, even during the severest cold, almost
entirely naked. It appears that of all the savages
of North Americafohe Knisteneaux have the hand-
somest women. Their figure is well proportioned,
and the regularity of their features would obtain
them admiration, even in Europe. Their com-
plexion is not so dark as that of other savage
women, because their habits are much more clean-
ly. These Indians are natmallj mild, honest

ofthe married state. Accordingly they offer their
wives to strangers, and exchange them with each
other, as Cato is said to have done. The fogs
which cover their marshes, are believed to be the
spirits of their deceased companions.
