18 THE AMERICAN MUSEUM JOURNAL The journey up the river was rather uneventful, except that I was fortunate enough to kill a yearling bull moose about 150 miles south of the Bay. This was the first fresh meat that we had had since the moose I killed on the Root River some two months l)efore. Incidentally, it may be said that we had no vegetables from the time we went in until the time we came out. i\fter a return journey of sixteen days on the Missanabie or Moose River, we arrived at Missanabie on the Canadian Pacific Railroad August 27. It appears that the Ojibway visited once lived in a neighl)orhood considerably farther south, possibly in northern ^linnesota, whence they pushed northward, almost to Hudson Bay. Since coming to the North, they have not only given up many of the manners and customs of the typical Ojibway of the south but have also taken on some of the cus- toms of the Eastern Cree. In addition they have evolved some new points of culture distinctively their own. All of these factors set them off as a distinct and separate body from the well-known historical Ojibway. There was secured upon the expedition a series of the articles of aboriginal manufacture now used by the Cree and Ojibway of the Hudson Bay Region. These articles consist of household utensils, games, clothing and a few ceremonial articles. At the same time, full notes on the ethnology and folk lore were made, and the results will soon be published. Alanson Skinner.
