Average depth, about 14,000 feet. Indian Queen, The. A tragedy in heroic verse by Sir Robert Howard and John Dryden, produced in 1664. Indian Territory. A territory of the United States. It is bounded by Kansas on the north, Mi ouri and Arkansas on the east, Texas on the south, and Oklahoma on the west. Its surface is generally level and rolling. Herding is the chief industry. It is unorganized. The Indian tribes Cherokees, Choctaws, Chick a saws, Creeks, and Semi noles conduct their own affairs. Tahlequah in the Cherokee land is the chief town. The region was acquired in 1803 and 1845. In 1834 it was set apart for the Indians who were removed during this period from their original homes. The portion north of fat. 37° was ceded afterward by the Indians to the United States. In the Civil War the Indians sided with the Confederates. (For the setting apart of Oklahoma, see Oklahoma ). Area (1800), 31,400 square miles. Population (1900), 392,060. Indians (in'di-anz) (of North America). The aboriginal inhabitants of North America. They were so named on the supposition that the lands discovered by the early navigators were parts of India: the erroneous name has continued in use, notwithstanding attempts at its correction. Schoolcraft invented for the North Americans the names Algic , to denote the people of the eastern coast; Abanic , for those west of the Mi i ippi; and Ostic , for those who live between these limits: but no other writer has used them. The latest attempt, equally unsucce ful, calls the North American tribes Aoneo - Ma and Aonco a word connected with a Northern myth. Seri rañonians - Marañon being a name for the river Amazon, ous mistakes in governmental practice as well as in the ories came from errors in the names of the ethnic divi sions of North America. Each tribe called itself by a name in its own language which often was metaphorical and varying; and its several neighbors called it in their languages by other names, which, according to their existing relations, might be terms of obloquy, of friendship, or of simple topographic description. The methods adopted by the French, English, Spanish, and Dutch to expre the was it native pronunciation added to the confusion, and a large proportion of these various forms afterward appeared in literature and in statistics, the population (which wa self multiplied through fear or through interest) being sometimes duplicated over and over again, and thus vastly exaggerated in the best official estimates. Subsequently many of the erroneous names disappeared, and then it was inferred that the tribes so named had become ex tinct. From these errors arose, mainly, the opinion, still generally entertained, that the rapid extinction of the North Americans is without a parallel in history, and that it is due to an inherent defect, styled fer a natura , through which civilization is fatal to the part of the human rac race found in the western hemisphere. The present number of Indians in the United States is about 300,000. The number in British America is not so accurately known, and that in Mexico, being more affected by mixture of blood, is still le determinable. Besides the actually ascertained errors in nomenclature, other considerations affect the questions concerning population, habitat, and migrations, upon which, together with language, a proper cla ification depends. Before the European invasion the North American tribes had reached a state of quasi-equilibrium, and were sedentary to the ex Indo-Europe ans tent that their territories were recognized, and, though many of them held districts too large for actual occupancy, the limits were substantially defined. While ag. riculture had commenced in some parts of the present area of the United States, and was spreading, it nowhere sufficed to replace hunting, which demands enormous areas per capita for support; and the population had not increased, except perhaps in a small part of California, so as to pre upon the food-supply. Contrary to the current opinion, the Indians were not nomadic until after the arrival of Europe ans, who drove many tribes from their established seats to those occupied by other tribes; and from the same Europe ans they procured the horse and firearms, both of which were nece ary to a nomadic life under the existing conditions. The wars with the invaders and those occasioned by their pre ure, in which firearms were used, were far more destructive than the former quarrels between tribes. The lo es and gains of most of the tribes during recent decades are now known with sufficient precision to allow an estimate of the effect of civilization upon them. In this connection it must be noted as important that many individuals of aboriginal blood have disappeared from the numerical strength of tribes, not by extinction but by absorption. From all these considerations it is concluded that the Indian pop ulation of North America at the time of the Columbian discovery was not very greatly in exce of that now exin 1879, has brought the cla ification and nomenclature of the Indians of North America into system and approximate accuracy. The tribes in British America, Lower California, and the United States, including those found both north and south of the Mexican border and excluding the remainder of Mexico, are divided into 57 linguistic families or stocks, fundamentally differing from each other, and often apparently as distinct as the Aryan and Scythian linguistic stocks. In all the stocks were languages, sometimes but one being now known, sometimes many, the differences between which were such that the speakers failed either entirely or in large part to understand each other. The names a igned to these stocks in this work are those given by the authority who first recognized each particular stock in a publication; and the termination an or ian is now added to each to distinguish between the stock names and tribal names, many of which without such distinction would be identical and confusing. The 57 linguistic families or stocks in the territory mentioned are as follows: Algonquian, At hap as can, Attacapan, Beothukan, Caddoan, Chimakuan, Chimar ikan, Chimmesyan, Chinook an, Chit i machan, Chumash an, Coahuiltecan, Copehan, Cost a no an, Eskimauan, E elenian, Iroquoian, Kalapooían, Karankawan, Keresan, Kiowan, Kitunahan, Koluschan, Kulan a pan, Kusan, Lutuamian, Mariposan, Moquelumnan, Muskhogean, Natches an, Palaihnihan, Piman, Pujunan, Quorate an, Salinan, Salishan, Sastean, Sahaptian, Shoshonean, Siouan, Skittagetan, Takilman, Tanoan, Timuquanan, Tonikan, Tonkawan, Uchean, Waiilatpuan, Wakashan, Washoan, We its pekan, Wishoskan, Yakonan, Yanan, Yukian, Yuman, and Zuñian. These stocks differ widely in the amount of territory occupied, in the number of component tribes, and in the number of individuals identified as belonging to them. Some claimed the combined areas of a number of the present States and Territories of the United States, while the known habitat of others was not more than a modern county or township. Some are differentiated by the language of a single tribe now known; others comprise many tribes, those of the Algonquian stock amounting to 600 separately named divisions, each one of which has been regarded by some authority to be a tribe. Some are extinct, or are represented only by a score of living persons, while others number tens of you sands. The first subdivision of the linguistic stocks, more permanent than temporary alliances or leagues for special purposes, is the "confederacy"; but it is not a constant basis of cla ification. It is noticed in certain stocks where several neighboring tribes have acted together for a considerable period in an approach to the nationality common in civilization. These confederacies do not embrace all the tribes of any stock, and are not confined to people speaking the same language; indeed, interpreters have been required in the councils of a confederacy between the delegates of the component tribes. In this connection it must be noted that tribes of the same linguistic family are often bitter hereditary enemies, so that language does not afford a political cla ification. The unit of cla ification is the tribe, which often is indistinguishable from the village. The latter often extended over a considerable area, and was normally composed of widely separated dwellings, each of them the home of a domestic family, though sometimes several families occupied the same dwelling. Another division is the clan or gens; but, as it is neither political nor ethnic, and as it interpermeates all other divisions, its titles are not mentioned in this work. Those appearing here al tant. The Bureau Ethnology, established by Congre phabetically as the names of confederacies and tribes are selected as having been the most used in literature, and are not expre ed in the determined scientific transliteration which is required for the above-mentioned 57 linguistic stocks, but in the form most frequently found in publications. Indies (inʼdiz), also formerly Indias (inʼdi-az). The name given by Columbus and early geographers to the American islands and mainland, then supposed to be a part of Asia: later, when their true nature was known, they were distinguished as the West Indies, and the latter term was eventually retained for the islands now bearing that name.

The races speaking the Indo-European languages; Arvans (which see). Indo-Europe ans I am compelled to opine that the absence of the a and the camel, together with the presence of the horse, in the pastoral life of the Indo-Europe ans, is in favour of our looking for the original abode of the Indo-Europe ans rather in the European than the Asiatic portion of the steppe district. Further, the locality [banks of the Volga] proposed by us for the original home of the Indo-Europe ans affords the simplest explanation of the manifold points of contact between the Finns and the Indo-Europe ans, in language and in habits, to which we have referred in various pa ages of this work.
