The American portion of the tribe are paid ;^2, 131. 60 annu- ity by the state of New York for land sold; the British portion $1, 911 by Canada or Great Britain. Twenty-four thousand two hundred and fifty acres of their reservation are in Canada, including the township of Dun- dee and fourteen thousand and thirty acres adjoining the Canada line in Fran...klin county, in this state. The boundary line between the United States and Canada divides the Indian village of St. Regis, whch contains about one hundred houses, mostly constructed of hewn logs. The St. Regis Indians engaged in the war of the revolution, part with the British and part with the Americans. One of their number, Lewis Cook, held a colonel's commission. They were divided again into two parties, British and American, in the war of 18 12. Such division still continues, the lines being kept distinct, following in hereditary descent by the fath- er's side.
