| Note | "County of Pictou. - These Indians live principally by the sale of tubs and other Indian handicraft. But owing to the heavy storms of last winter, they found it very difficult to procure the material requisite for their manufactures, and they consequently endured considerable privation. Their crop this year was good, and consisted principally of potatoes and wheat. They also saved hay for their cattle. They have a school on their reserve at Fisher's Grant, which is conducted in an efficient manner; but here the same hindrance to progress in education is encountered, that is met with on almost every Indian reserve, namely, the irregular attendance of the children at school. The Indians number about 200 souls" (xxxvii). |
