The abundance of beaver and deer made the latter gradually forget their native land. Their territory and their hunting-grounds with the Sauteurs. The Nadouaissioux, who have their village on the upper Missisipi about the latitude of 46°, divided That was a strong bond for the maintenance of entire harmony. Those who left their natal soil made an alliance with the Nadouaissioux, who were not very solicitous for the friendship of any one whomsoever but because they could obtain French merchandise only through the agency of the Sauteurs, they made a treaty of peace with the latter by which they were mutually bound to give their daughters in marriage on both sides. Seek their food in Lake Huron during the winter the others have gone away to two localities on Lake Superior, in order to live on the game which is very abundant there. This tribe is divided: part of them have remained at home to live on this delicious fish in autumn, and they They carry on an extensive traffic in this fish at Michillimakinak, where both the savages and the French buy it at a high price. The savages dry it over a fire, on wooden frames placed high above, and keep it for winter. This kind of fish is large, has firm flesh, and is very nourishing. It is only they, the Missisakis, and the Nepiciriniens who can practice this fishery, although some Frenchmen imitate them. The tumult of the waters in which they are floating seems to them only a diversion they see in it the fish, heaped up on one another, that are endeavoring to force their way through the rapids and when they feel their nets heavy they draw them in. They cast their nets headlong into the boiling waters, in which they maintain their position, letting their canoes drift while sliding backward. The savages surmount all those terribleĬascades, into which they cast a net which resembles a bag, a little more than half an ell in width and an ell deep, attached to a wooden fork about fifteen feet long. Those people are very skilful in a fishery which they carry on there, of fish which are white, and as large as salmon. The Sauteurs, who live beyond the Missisakis, take their name from a fall of water which forms the discharge of Lake Superior into Lake Huron, through extensive rapids of which the ebullitions are extremely violent.
