These men are more docile, tractable, and industrious than the Stone Indians and bring greater supplies of provision and furs to the posts.

Their general mode of dress resembles that of the Stone Indians; but sometimes they wear cloth leggings, blankets, and other useful articles when they can afford to purchase them.

They also decorate their hair with buttons.
The Crees procure guns from the traders and use them in preference to the bow and arrow; and from them the Stone Indians often get supplied either by stealth, gaming, or traffic.

Like the rest of their nation these Crees are remarkably fond of spirits and would make any sacrifice to obtain them.

I regretted to find the demand for this pernicious article had greatly increased within the last few years.
