To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Their dispersion into bands subject to different conditions with regard to the supply and character of their food has resulted in varying physical characteristics; hence the varying descriptions given by explorers. Mackenzie, who describes the Cree comprehensively, says they are of moderate stature, well proportioned, and of great activity. Their complexion is copper-coloured and their hair black, as is common among Indians. Their eyes are black, keen, and penetrating; their countenance open ...and agreeable. In regard to the women he says : ' Of all the nations which I have seen on this continent, the Knisteneaux women are the most comely.
Their figure is generally well proportioned, and the regidarity of their features would be acknowledged by the more civilised people of Europe. Their complexion has less of that dark tinge which is common to those savages who have less cleanly habits.' Umfreville, from whom Mackenzie appears to have copied in part what is here stated, says that they are more inclined to be lean of body than otherwise, a corpulent Indian being ' a much greater curiosity than a sober one.' Clark (Sign Language, 1885) describes the Cree seen by him as wretchedly poor, and mentally and physically inferior to the Plains Indians; and Harmon says that those of the tribe who in- habit the plains are fairer and more cleanly than the others.
