Excerpt from Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico, Vol. 1 of 2 Under the tribal descriptions a brief account of the ethnic relations of the tribe, its history, its location at various periods, statistics of population, etc., are included. Accompanying each synonym (the earliest known date always being given) a reference to the authority is noted, and these references form practically a bibliography of the tribe for those who desire to pursue the subject further. It is not claimed that every spelling of every tribal name that occurs in print is given, but it is believed that a sufficient number of forms is recorded to enable the student to identify practically every name by which any group of Indians has been known, as well as to trace the origin of many of the terms that have been incorporated into our geographic nomenclature. In many instances the treatises are satisfactorily illustrated; in others, much necessarily has been left to a future edition in order that the present publication may not be further delayed. The work of illustration was intrusted largely to Mr De Lancey Gill. The contributors to Part 1, in addition to those who have rendered valued assistance by affording information, correcting proofs, and in other ways, are as follows, the names being arranged in the alphabet ical order of the initials attached to the signed articles.
