Note 243 — I. VOCABULARIES OF SOME OF THE TRIBES OF NORTHWESTERN AMERICA, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE INDIAN SIGN LANGUAGE

Hannibal Evans Lloyd translation

Written from the pronunciation of a Crow Indian. They pronounce the words in the manner of the Minnitarri; ch is guttural, r is spoken with the point of the tongue unless there is an exception noted. According to Donald Mc Kenzie who lived among the Crows (Gallatin, ibid., p. 125), they number some three hundred lodges and three thousand souls. This seems to me to be a correct estimate.—Maximilian.

Comment by Ed. Gallatin doubtless intends Kenneth (not Donald) Mc Kenzie, for whom see our volume xxi, p. 45, note 25.
