The Natural History of the Varieties of Man

by R. G. Latham

7. The Slaoucud-dennies of M'Kenzie's River.

8. The Naotetains to the west of Tacullis.

9. The Nagail, or Chin Indians; are probably Tacullis under another name.

In the Athabaskan language, dinne=man; so that we now understand the prevalence of that termination.

The Chippewyans Proper are called Saweesaw-dinneh.

The Birch-rind Indians are called Tan-tsawhot-dinneh.

The Dog-ribs are called Thlingeha-dinneh.

On the other hand, the Thickwood, Sheep, and Brushwood Indians are called Edch-tawoot, Ambah-tawoot, and Tsillaw-awdoot, respectively; whilst the Hare Indians are called Kancho.

Lastly, it should be added that, although Mr. Isbister makes the Nehannies Kolúch, Gallatin places them amongst the Athabaskans. A vocabulary of their language would probably settle the point. Such, however, is yet wanting.
