BEOTHUK , a tribe of See also:

North See also:American See also:Indians formerly dwelling in the interior of See also:Newfoundland. A certain See also:mystery attaches to them, since investigation of the few words of their See also:language which have survived suggests that they were of distinct stock. The name (of See also:Micmac origin) is said to mean simply " red men." They were bitterly hostile to the See also:French settlers, and were hunted down and killed off until 182o, when a few survivors made their See also:escape into Labrador. The last of them is believed to have died in 1829.
