FOOTNOTES:[252]The Konsas, or Kansas Indians have always lived on the river of that name (Gallatin,ibid., p. 127). For the past thirty years they have lived at peace with the Osages; and the two tribes have intermarried. They still number fifteen hundred souls, and possess a tract of three thousand acres. They speak the Osage dialect, which belongs to the Dacota linguistic group.—Maximilian.
