 | | From perhaps 3000 souls a century ago they have decreased, through smallpox, disease, and former dissipation, since the occupation of the country by the whites, to 932 in 1890 and 578 in 1910. |
 | | Of the whole number all but seventy-five are now Catholic, the others being Anglican or Methodist, and are officially reported as law-abiding, industrious, strictly moral, and generally temperate. |
 | | A brief sketch of the ethnology of the tribe group is given by Boas in "Reports to the British Association for the Advancement of Science". |
