Micmac Indians
An Algonquian tribe, called by the French, Souriquois.
Their habitat was in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and northern New
Brunswick. Visited by Cabot in 1497; and by Corte-Real in 1501. They
were for a long time bitterly hostile to the British. In 1611 they
numbered about 3000; and their population in 1884 was given as 4000.
