     TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:

     A number of printer's errors have been corrected. However, most
     spelling variants are left as printed, except where the likelihood
     of an error seems strong; (e.g. emcamped/encamped, ryhme/rhyme).
     Consult the Notes at the end of this text for specific corrections.

     Schoolcraft renders Indian language in English characters using his
     own conventions. Therefore, the printed spelling of these words has
     been observed as printed, with only several exceptions, where it
     seems very clear from adjacent spellings that there have been
     printer's errors. The figure 8 is set horizontally to represent a
     phonetic sound. In this text these characters are simulated by [oo]
     and [OO] for lower- and upper-case. The 'oe' ligature is rendered
     as [oe] in transliteration but simply 'oe' elsewhere ('aesofoedita',
    'manoeuvre').

     The text of pages 286 and 287 are printed in reverse order.
     Although pagination is continuous, there is at least one page of
     text missing before the text beginning on p. 288. At p. 300, the
     text again ends abruptly, with a new section beginning on p. 301.
