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.
