Surviving Indian Groups

By William Harlen Gilbert, Jr.
Library of Congress, Washington, DC

From the Smithsonian Report for 1948, pages 407-438

Introduction

The following paper was prepared for the purpose of indicating the extent to which Indian blood still remains noticeable in our eastern States population in spite of the depletions arising from over 300 years of war, invasions by disease and white men from Europe and black men from Africa. Any attempt to estimate the total amount of this Indian and mixed population must be based on an arbitrary classification as mixed-bloods as Indians who may frequently be more white or Negro in appearance. Anywhere from 75,000 to 100,000 persons may be included in the groups described in the following pages.
