Note 46 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
The Indians believe that some persons have the power of injuring, or even of killing others at a distance of many hundred miles, by charms and spells: this belief in witchcraft is constantly noticed by Tanner and others, who have resided long among the Indians, and it seems to have been especially prevalent among the Oggibeways and other northern tribes. In illustration of a similar notion in the eastern hemisphere, see Borrow’s “Zincali, or the Gypsies of Spain,” vol. i. chap. ix. on the Evil Eye.
