Description
Excerpt from Ethnographical Survey of the Miskito and Sumu Indians of Honduras and Nicaragua
The Miskito and Sumu inhabit the Atlantic side of Honduras and Nicaragua, from Rio Tinto or Black River (lat. 15? 50' N.) to Rio Punta Gorda (lat. 11? 30' While the Miskito are found chie?y along the coast the Sumu are an inland tribe and extend westward within a short distance from the settlements of the Spanish-speaking population.
Together these two tribes occupy the larger part of the vast region generally known by the name of Mosquito Coast. This territory reaches from Cabo Honduras, near Trujillo, to Rio San Juan, at the Costa Rica boundary; that is, from the eleventh to the sixteenth degree north, an extension of about 550 miles by sea. From Cabo Honduras the coast runs at first in an easterly direction, then south east as far as Cabo Gracias a Dios, whence it extends nearly due south.
