While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Many tribes have sub-tribes, bands, gens,
clans and phratry. Often very little
information is known or they no longer
exist. We have included them here to
provide more information about the tribes.

French. Charlevoix says their chief residence was on a lake connected with the
St Maurice. They were so harassed by the attacks of the Iroquois that a part at
least fled to the vicinity of Tadoussac. They were so nearly destroyed by
smallpox in 1670 that they became extinct as a tribe. They were esteemed by the
missionaries as a quiet, inoffensive people, readily disposed to receive
religious instruction, (J. M.)
