The Great Déné Race. 113 The Great Déné Race. By the Rev. F. A. G. Morice, O. M. I., Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. (Continued). CHAPTER XI. Hunting. A Criterion of Tribal Status. The vocabulary of a people may be regarded as a safe guide to its social status and the nature of its chief pursuit. It is a sort of registering instrument whose readings are seldom at variance with fact. When it records, for instance, a multitude of fish names, or, better still, when it possesses several names for the same fish according to its age or condition, it will infallibly denote a nation of fishermen. In like manner, a superabundance of words expressive of fine distinctions in the classification of the larger land animals will inevitably betray a race of hunters. This is so true that, for instance, the semi-sedentary Carriers, whose staple food is salmon, have to borrow from the vocabulary of the nomadic Sékanais several of their terms to designate the various stages in the growth of cariboo, while their dialect is exceedingly rich in words denotive of salmon under all possible aspects 1 . Even the western Nahanais are more hunters than fishermen, and their habitat is, moreover, remarkably high and mountainous. No wonder, then, that they differentiate with such scrupulous precision the representatives of such an apparently insignificant rodent as the marmot. With them the generic name of that animal is tœtiyé. The female is called hosthel, while the male is known as œt’qé-tha. A little marmot in general is named ce’kane, or usthé-tsétle; but if it is one year old, it goes as usaze. The next year it will be known as œkhutze, and when in its third year, it will be called tœtiyé-tucitze. And note that all of those eight words apply to only one kind of animal, since there is another term to denote the smaller variety of marmot (Arctomys monax). The Nahanais are therefore stamped by their very vocabulary as a horde of trappers and huntsmen, and the abundance of their terms for a mountain animal furthermore throws a significant light on the topography of their country. So is it with their eastern congeners, the Hares, Dog-Ribs and other Barren Grounds Dénés. We know already that reindeer is their staff of life. Let us now see how their dialects are affected by that circumstance. 1 See beginning of next chapter. Anthropos V. 1910. 8
