September 4, 1805


Today we met the Flathead Indians. Their camp had 33 lodges, 80 men with 400 people total, and 500 horses. They were very friend and let them camp with them. They received their name from lower columbian tribes who deformed the heads of their infants to make them pointed. Because the Columbian heads were so pointed, this tribe got the name of flatheads.
