labrador n [-]Micmac Indians[-] _the Labrador_ The Micmac Indians, who are a branch of the Great Algonquin race of Eastern Canada, first arrived in Newfoundland about the middle of the eighteenth century. They were said to have been brought over to help to exterminate the un- fortunate Beothicks. But . they had probably heard, perhaps from the Mountaineer Indians of the Labrador. of the excellent trapping and hunting to be found in the island, and had come for that purpose.
