_Population._--The Canadian Indian Report for 1888 records a total for

all the tribes of this family of 5,000. In the fall of 1887 about 1,000

of these Indians, in charge of Mr. William Duncan, removed to Annette

Island, about 60 miles north of the southern boundary of Alaska, near

Port Chester, where they have founded a new settlement called New

Metlakahtla. Here houses have been erected, day and industrial schools

established, and the Indians are understood to be making remarkable

progress in civilization.
