They have been expanded by the addition of + further matter relating to the various subjects, but even with these + additions there is but a brief <i lang="fr">résumé</i> of the vast store of + material extant.</p> + + <p>The “Indian” has never seemed to me an abnormal factor, but rather a + natural part of our society, for it is now nearly thirty years since + I first associated with him in the Far West, and before that the + Iroquois were familiar to me as a small boy. When I first went among + the Western tribes, it was with the second Colorado River expedition + of that gallant explorer and foremost student of Amerindian affairs, + John Wesley Powell. His own works and the reports of the United + States Bureau of Ethnology, of which he has so long been the head, + and where he has gathered together so many eminent ethnologists and + archæologists, have furnished me with much material. These reports + form a fine library on Amerindian matters, and reflect great honour + on Professor Powell who conceived the idea, and on Congress which + has ungrudgingly supported it. A great and timely work has become + established, which to private enterprise would have been next to + impossible. Add to these the invaluable reports of the Smithsonian + Institution and the memoirs and reports of the Peabody Museum and + American Museum, and the student has before him a large fund of + material without seeking farther. Then there are the brilliant works + of Parkman, Brinton, Winsor, Bandelier, Putnam, Morgan, Schoolcraft, + Prescott, Maudsley, Goodman, Wilson, Keane, and many others, with the + huge production of H. H. Bancroft filling an important place. To all of + these and to others I owe much, and I have intended in every case to + give credit and references. Where these, in some cases, may not have + been properly awarded, it is due to oversight and not to intention. My + especial thanks are due to the Bureau of Ethnology for copies of all + the reports, and for permission to utilise the illustrations contained + in them, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_vi">vi</span>and to the American Museum, Archæological Institute, Field + Columbian Museum, Peabody Museum, and Smithsonian Institution for + similar generosity. I take pleasure also in acknowledging favours + from Professor Putnam, Professor Powell, Professor Mason, Dr. McGee, + Mr. Saville, Professor Seymour, Professor Langley, Mr. Bancroft, + Professor Holmes, Dr. Baum, and others, and from Mr. E. H. Harriman the + opportunity of visiting Alaska under the most favourable circumstances.</p> + + <p>The title, <cite>The North Americans of Yesterday</cite>, seems to me + appropriate, because while there are still some Amerinds extant, and + a few are even yet apparently leading the old-time life, nevertheless + they are merely remnants of a people whose sun has set, and who + therefore properly belong to yesterday. For this reason I have + mainly treated them as a bygone race. Between the so-called “Red + Indian” of the United States and northern regions and the so-called + “Civilised Tribes” of Mexico and southern regions I have made no race + differentiation, because the differences, whatever they may be, are + discovered to be not of kind, but of degree. Confusion was formerly + caused by misconceptions and by romantic ideas which have been + dispelled by the more scientific methods of later days. Some confusion + has been caused also by the persistent efforts to classify the progress + of mankind as a whole into distinct world-epochs or time periods. It + seems to me that no such universal epochs of even progress could have + existed in past time any more than in present time. Tribes of men are + differentiated now, always will be, and, I believe, always have been. + Common world-planes of culture in time periods are an impossibility. + Such schedules as Morgan’s may apply to tribes and stocks as indicating + their special, individual advance, but not to the whole world, except + in a very general way. That is, they may be <em>culture</em> but never + <em>time</em> classifications. The closer we approach the beginnings + of man’s existence, the less marked, perhaps, the differences in + tribes, but differences certainly began at the moment when one group + of men left another group of men to live apart. The environment and + necessities of each group would cause differences and varying rates of + progress. One group would gain the bow a thousand years before another.</p> + + <p>Long before the beginning of the glacial period, therefore, some groups + must have been far ahead of others, and in the manufacture of stone + implements some tribes excelled others; some <span class="pagenum" id="Page_vii">vii</span>making ruder ones than + others, and some perhaps making well-finished, polished tools. There + are a good many arrow- and spear-head shapes, and it is possible that + each form originated at a different time or in a different locality. + And in our present state of knowledge of these matters, no time + position can be assigned to many American stone tools, polished or + not. They may have been used over and over again by various tribes + for centuries, or for a thousand years, or they may have been made + by tribes of our own day. Some of these tribes made no smoothed or + polished implements, though otherwise of advanced type, and polished + implements have been found that may be many thousand years old. This + is no indication that tribes do not change, but that development + began and continues unevenly, and that tribes existed ten thousand or + more years ago that were in advance of some that are extant to-day. + Nobody can say whether the stone implements, rough or smooth, that + have been found in Chiriqui belong to comparatively modern or to very + ancient times. The whole subject of stone implements appears to be + in a chaotic state, mummified and petrified by a slavish respect and + devotion to European patterns. It is a case of cart before the horse. + It will be apparent that I do not consider the finish of stone tools, + in the present state of our understanding of them, any guide for a + world-classification of peoples in a time-scale, especially in North + America. This has been admitted by others back to a certain point, but + beyond that point they have continued to play follow-the-leader with + their world-classifications of “Paleolithic” and “Neolithic,” two of + the most confusing, misleading, and useless terms ever invented. Below + the limit of the ice action there is nothing to fix the age of stone + tools when found on the surface or near it. “Paleoliths” and “neoliths” + might therefore be picked up side by side, and the paleolith might + not be as old as the neolith, or both might be of the same age. And + if a well-made tool, or one resembling some of to-day, is found in an + ancient gravel, it does not necessarily mean an intrusion, but that + men lived in that far past who were more skilful than some of their + neighbours, and more skilful than we have heretofore been willing to + admit. That very ancient men made very rude tools is doubtless true, + but that <em>all</em> ancient men made rough tools of the same style + down to a certain fixed time, and then all began on an improved or a + smoothed type, is undoubtedly wrong.</p> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_viii">viii</span></p> + + <p>How the Amerinds came here I explain by a theory that there was before, + or perhaps during the early part of the glacial period, a wider + distribution of land surfaces on latitudinal lines, which invited + latitudinal migrations.<a id="FNanchor_1" href="#Footnote_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a> These land surfaces may have been no more + than groups of larger or smaller islands which have been since wholly + submerged or have left only their highest parts above the sea. Before + the beginning of the glacial cold, a mild climate extended to the North + Pole, facilitating migrations also in that region. Changes in the + ocean’s bottom were probably greater in pre-glacial time than now, but + they have not altogether ceased. It is little more than fifteen years + since a new island appeared off the Aleutian chain, and I think it is + doubtful if any of that group existed above water six or eight hundred + years ago. I am also of the opinion that no human life was in Alaska or + in Northeast Siberia five hundred years back.</p> + + <p>Races not being all of an even grade of culture before the beginning + of the cold period any more than now, the tribes that found themselves + isolated on this continent by changes in the land levels and by the + southward extension of the glaciation, were unevenly developed, some + being in advance of others in various ways, though none, of course, + had passed beyond the use of stone tools, a condition in which they + practically continued down to the Discovery. In this respect the term, + “Stone Age,” as indicating a condition, is applicable, but it would + not be possible to differentiate it into “Paleolithic” and “Neolithic” + periods. The cold pushed them all southward, whether they came by + northlands or by latitudinal lands, or both, towards the narrow + funnel-like part of the continent, and also to the lower levels, + as there was no chance for latitudinal expansion as in the Eastern + Hemisphere, the most advanced tribes being the most southerly, if not + from original position, because they were able to choose. Eventually + communication with Asia and Europe by the north was by the glaciation + severed completely, as it had previously been latitudinally by the + disappearance of favourable land surfaces, and communication by the + north remained closed till within three or four hundred years. The + most crowded tribes developed most rapidly, because such development + was imperative for self-preservation, and their culture filtered + through in diminishing ratio, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_ix">ix</span>according to distance, to the less + crowded regions—that is, to the climatically less favourable regions; + but all who were closely crowded into the “funnel” progressed along + similar lines and in much the same degree, <em>without regard to + relationships</em>, so that we find in the narrow part of the continent, + where the largest number found refuge from the cold, many different + stocks in almost parallel stages of culture. There were no isolated + “areas of characterisation” as in the latitudinally broader lands of + the Eastern Hemisphere, though in some cases there were slight barriers + tending to produce or maintain slight variations. The long longitudinal + chain of the Sierra Nevada abounding in glaciers to a late date, and + to a less extent that of the Rocky Mountains, brought about a partial + isolation of the stocks in the great north-and-south migrations, + maintaining previous differences and originating others, so that now we + distinguish differences between what is called the Atlantic and what is + called the Pacific group, while they are yet practically the same.<a id="FNanchor_2" href="#Footnote_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a> + The tribes farthest advanced at the beginning of the isolation on this + continent would not necessarily continue at the front of progress, for + a change of conditions that might cripple such tribes might at the same + time be beneficial to others previously inferior. For instance, as the + heat gradually returned, the highly developed lowland tribes began to + find themselves at a disadvantage, which grew with the intensity of + the heat, while others, inured to harsher conditions, found warmth + stimulating, and they began to develop germs received from the superior + but now declining stocks. “The American Indians,” says Brinton, “cannot + bear the heat of the tropics even as well as the European.” The heat, + which at first seems to have been intense in the daytime, then caused + a decline of the highest stocks, and a corresponding progression of + lower stocks existing on, or migrating to, higher levels. The Yucatec + tribes declined, while the Nahuatls, at higher altitudes, began to + develop. The finest monuments of North American antiquity, for these + reasons, are generally found on comparatively low levels and below a + certain latitude, where conditions during the greatest cold were most + favourable; conditions that may have continued fairly favourable down + to within, say, a thousand years.</p> + + <p>Long before the dawn of the Columbian era, therefore, the Amerind + peoples had become, through the influences indicated, a <span class="pagenum" id="Page_x">x</span>world-race by + themselves, existing in various stages of the same general culture, + and with a rising and a declining of tribes and stocks directed by + environment and circumstances. The great stocks surviving at the + beginning of the Columbian era may be approximately traced by their + languages, in layers, from Panama northward, about as they expanded + mainly eastward of the Sierra Nevada in response to the gradual relief + from the pressure of the cold. The Yucatec tribes had held the region + south of the Tehuantepec isthmus, and owing to this slight barrier, + and perhaps to another barrier of a strait through the land about + on the line of the proposed Nicaragua canal, had developed somewhat + differently from tribes to the north, and may also have preserved + more of their original character. Thence stretching north far into + the United States was the great composite Shoshone, or Uto-Aztecan + family, in all its variations, with what appears to be an “island” of + Athapascans or Boreal men preserved in its midst by glacial conditions + lingering in the high regions near the Mexico-United States line; + then follows the Siouan; then the widespread Algonquian stock; next + the Athapascan; and finally the Eskimauan, which had always been held + against the edge of the glaciers by the back pressure of the southern + stocks, and being most remote was less affected by filtration from + the development centre, and thus remains to-day a more differentiated + stock than any other.<a id="FNanchor_3" href="#Footnote_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a> The western arm of these stocks was generally + farther north than the eastern because the climate was and is milder + in the west, the trend of the ice front being now, and apparently + always having been, N.W. to S.E. Distribution of skill in pottery + follows about the same lines, “petering” out with stocks farthest + from the Yucatec centre. The Algonquins crowded the Athapascans off + to the N.W., and together they crowded the Eskimo to the limits of + human subsistence. In California many stocks found refuge in a climate + kept comparatively mild by the ocean currents, where they secured + subsistence on fish, and went no farther south. Along the Gulf coast + were other tribes resting somewhat aside from the great continental ebb + and flow, while in Florida and in the islands of the Caribbean region + there was sufficient separation to produce a slight differentiation + from the surging continental stocks. Remnants of other stocks were + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_xi">xi</span>scattered here and there through the regions below the glaciated + area. Mingled with all these developments there were probably certain + traits and “tinges” derived from earlier ancestry, and these, with the + similarity of development of all races under like conditions prevailing + wherever human beings can live, fully account for resemblances to + other-world tribes and peoples that have caused so much speculation.</p> + + <p>There has been an error, I believe, in considering the glacial + period as of the remote past. It does not seem to have yet closed. + It influences our climate now, and probably a thousand years ago + its meteorological effects were marked as far south as Yucatan. The + glaciers of the Northern Hemisphere everywhere appear to be slowly + disappearing, and not so slowly either, if the Muir can be taken as a + gauge, for it has been for twenty years receding at the rate of 500 + feet per annum, and probably at the same rate before that. However + this may be, it is probably less than 5000 years since the ice front + was at Lake Erie. Eminent geologists have estimated it at less than + 7000, based on the erosion at Niagara; but as the erosion immediately + following the disappearance of the ice is extremely rapid, it seems + safe to cut down the estimate. The subtleties of meteorology are far + from being understood also, and the theories as to the causes of the + cold seem mere guesses. Considerable heat there must have been during + the glacial period, or there would have been no glaciers.</p> + + <p class="mb0">On the theory of the ethnic unity of the Amerind people, I have + briefly brought together in chapters notes on their chief habits, + products, languages, etc., so that the reader may be able to compare. + In collecting material that is now obtainable, but which will shortly + be gone forever, much remains to be done, and to be done quickly.

They also found imposing ruins that told of + the long previous departure of some of the occupants of this land into + the vaster unknown, and indeed evidences of still earlier hosts that + had travelled the dim pathway through the outer darkness. These new + lands were believed to be some part of India, and because of this first + error the inappropriate title of “Indians” was bestowed on the natives, + and this name continued to cling after the mistake was discovered, + growing more and more confusing as intercourse increased with the real + Indians, till now in our day it is exceedingly troublesome, and we + are compelled to differentiate, when accuracy is desirable, by saying + “East Indian,” “Red Indian,” or “American Indian,” etc. To add further + to this confusion, many persons persist in considering the Algonquin + and Iroquois <span class="pagenum" id="Page_2">2</span>as the type specimens of “Indians,” and exclude all who + do not accord with this limited and erroneous standard. The natives of + the Western Hemisphere appear all to have been of one race, for there + are only minor differences, which will be shown in following pages, and + there is therefore a necessity for a broad designation for all these + people. When these words were first written I had determined to adopt + the term “Redskin” for use in this book, but learning that Amerind, + compounded of the first syllables of American and Indian, had been + suggested by the Anthropological Society of Washington, I gave it the + preference over Redskin, and on full examination was convinced that it + is a satisfactory and useful substitute for “Indian,” and, in order to + avoid the latter, have used it exclusively in these pages, except where + another writer is quoted.</p> + + <p>This Amerind people were indeed more remarkable than has been popularly + appreciated.<a id="FNanchor_4" href="#Footnote_4" class="fnanchor">[4]</a> They possessed, as a rule, strong personality, great + physical vigour, quick intelligence, and dauntless courage. Their + brain power was of a high order and the cerebral quality extremely + fine; capable through the processes of time of a development second to + none. They had their trials, their wars, their sicknesses, and their + various tribulations before the Europeans fell down upon them; but had + the cargo of misery, disease, and death for them which freighted the + bold caravels of Columbus possessed tangible weight in proportion to + its magnitude, those vessels would have plunged to the depths of the + unknown sea. But Destiny had traced another course for events, and + thus the gay banners, glowing on one side with Hope for one race and + black on the reverse with Despair for another, flaunted at length their + ominous folds in the sunshine of the Amerind continent. Great good + fortune it was for the Europeans, especially for the Spaniards, but the + latter failed to read their star aright. Upon the conquered tribes, an + easy prey before the superior weapons of the invaders, they lavished a + cruelty which eclipsed that of savages, and settled like a blight over + the country, to finally stifle by just retribution the haughty power of + Spain herself, and wrench forever from her the last foot of the domain + which the unfaltering courage of the Adelantados had bequeathed to her. + To attempt to gloss over the oppression of the Spanish <span class="pagenum" id="Page_4">4</span>rule of the + Amerind people would be fruitless. There is no excuse for it. Fresh + from the methods of the Inquisition, the Spaniards themselves perhaps + were not wholly aware of the horror of their acts. Unfortunately, they + do not stand alone as sinners in this respect, and the contemplation of + the early intercourse of Europeans and Amerinds is not likely to give + a candid person an agreeable sensation, as it is frequently difficult, + if not impossible, to decide which race is the one to whom rightfully + belongs the description, “treacherous, bloodthirsty, and savage.” + Certain it is that the Amerinds from the very beginning had numerous + vivid lessons from the whites in murder, treachery, and kindred + crimes.<a id="FNanchor_5" href="#Footnote_5" class="fnanchor">[5]</a> They were frequently slain without cause or mercy; they + were enslaved when possible; their records were destroyed; and, most + terrible of all, they were burned alive at the stake. But this latter + diversion had been practised in Europe, where St. Ferdinand with his + own hands heaped the fagots on the blazing pile. The Conquistadores of + the sixteenth century were versed in as much cruelty as the Amerinds + had ever dreamed of; yet in the midst of it all there were men like Las + Casas and Viceroy Mendoza, who had no sympathy with the barbarities + practised, and whose characters bring relief in the broad and hideous + blackness. Ship-loads of slaves were carried off each year, and the + system of <i lang="es">repartimientos</i> placed every Amerind in bondage.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_003"> + <img src="images/i_003.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>SOUTH PORTION OF THE TEWA PUEBLO OF TAOS, NEW MEXICO<br> + Adobé construction</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Opposition was punished in the most terrible ways possible to devise. + In one instance the offenders, seventeen or eighteen caciques, were + strangled and mangled by dogs kept for the purpose, the execution + taking place in the public square, so that the struggles of the + unfortunates might make a spectacle. Again the Spaniards invited some + chiefs to a conference, as told by Brinton, in a large wooden building, + which was then burned up with the chiefs in it. But it is not necessary + to go back so far for examples of the treacherous brutality with + which the whites have treated the Amerinds. Were it so, the cruelty + and injustice might perhaps be regarded as merely circumstances of + the period, but Beckwourth, in his <cite>Narrative</cite>,<a id="FNanchor_6" href="#Footnote_6" class="fnanchor">[6]</a> relates an + incident, also referred <span class="pagenum" id="Page_5">5</span>to by Washington Irving, quite as horrible as + any that occurred in the sixteenth century. Beckwourth came upon some + white trappers who had captured two Amerinds from a party of Arikarees + who had stolen their horses. The Arikarees offered to return some, but + not all, of the horses in exchange for the prisoners, but the trappers + declared they would burn their captives alive <span class="pagenum" id="Page_6">6</span>if all the horses were + not returned. The threat was disregarded. Thereupon the logs on the top + of a huge fire were separated, the two helpless, chain-bound prisoners + were dropped into the red furnace, and the flaming logs replaced. + “There was a terrible struggle for a moment,” says Beckwourth, “then + all was still.” And thus was another lesson of the mercy and justice of + the White rendered unto the Red.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp75" id="i_005"> + <img src="images/i_005.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>SEATED FIGURE CARVED IN TRACHYTE<br> + From débris of hieroglyphic steps, Copan.

Horse stealing down + to recent times in the West has always been liable to punishment by + death, so the trappers might be somewhat excused on that ground in + the minds of some, but in the year 1898, in the Indian Territory, + two Amerinds were burned alive at the stake by a mob of whites. The + accusation, too, was a mere suspicion, and it was later established + that the Amerinds were perfectly innocent. After such deeds we may well + pause when our inclination is to vaunt the superiority of the white men + over the red.</p> + + <p>Notwithstanding the popular idea that the Amerinds were devils + incarnate, many tribes when first encountered were kindly, and trusted + the newcomers till the moment came, as it soon did, when they were + basely deceived. That all tribes were trusting is not claimed, but it + is well known that many explorers found the Amerinds ready to receive + them fairly and honestly. Neither Cartier nor Roberval met with + hostility from natives, and the success of the straightforwardness + of Penn in his dealings with them is unquestioned.<a id="FNanchor_7" href="#Footnote_7" class="fnanchor">[7]</a> It has been + stated that the European is no more than a whitewashed savage, and + his intercourse with the Amerind people bears out this description. + There was often provocation on both sides, augmented by the complete + ignorance of each other’s ways and customs. Actions which were correct + according to the manners of the Amerinds were offensive to the whites, + and <i>vice versa</i>, and, to add to the ever-increasing hostility, + the whites <span class="pagenum" id="Page_7">7</span>resented upon all Amerinds the crime or indiscretion of + one or a few members of a particular tribe. If an Amerind committed a + crime, the next one met with suffered for it. When Walker, in 1833, + treacherously abandoned the line of work Bonneville had <span class="pagenum" id="Page_8">8</span>laid out for + him and struck down the Humboldt for California, one of the men had his + traps carried off by some of the Shoshokoes. He swore to kill the first + one he should meet, and so their trail was one of blood. At one place + they murdered no less than twenty-five unsuspecting red people without + provocation. This was the manner in which these pioneers exhibited + their superiority. There have always, too, been certain whites, more + or less outlawed, like one Rose, who have struck up a friendship with + the worst tribes for the purpose of inciting them against the whites to + advance their own profit.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp75" id="i_007"> + <img src="images/i_007.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>KICKING BEAR, SIOUX</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Previous to the European invasion the Amerind was not always at + war, though many seem to think that he was. His territorial lines + were generally well defined, and, as a rule, he stayed within them. + Their villages, for the Amerind was always a village dweller, were + far apart north of Mexico, and as long as there was no contention + over property or water rights, things went smoothly, and even during + hostilities intercourse was not always entirely broken off. So that + there was frequently a large measure of security and periods of + uninterrupted peace. He <em>worked</em> at hunting, fishing, and, in all + the tribes east of the Mississippi, in Mexico, and many tribes west, + at agriculture. The arrival and the westward movement of the Europeans + crowded back the tribes across boundaries and upon lands they had + no right to, and frequent wars were the inevitable result. Finally + the acquisition of the horse gave facility of movement never before + possessed, and made quick journeys and night attacks feasible, while + the desire to secure as many of the valuable animals as possible added + a new and great incentive to theft and consequent warfare. The Amerind + began to change, in fact, the moment he acquired the horse and the gun, + adapting both to his needs and using them with consummate skill. The + whites did not try to understand him, nor were they superior to him in + the matter of patience or forgiveness. One thing was well understood + by the whites, however, and continues to this day, and that was that + an Amerind has no rights that a white man is bound to respect, or even + to consider. The natives north of the Aztec country were regarded as + vagabonds and vagrants who had no right to anything, while those of + Mexico, whom the Spaniards had meanwhile reduced everywhere to abject + slaves, were believed to be a different race, with former qualities + that were greatly exaggerated by the Europeans. And <span class="pagenum" id="Page_9">9</span>then, later, + in the effort to counteract the extravagant notions entertained of + the Aztecs, their remarkable growth, and that of the Mayas, was by + some writers reduced to the level of that of the Pueblo tribes of + New Mexico and Arizona, which is undoubtedly a serious error in the + other direction. Montezuma was probably not a king nor an emperor as + those terms are understood by us, but it is difficult to accept him as + little more than a Moki war-chief, especially as one can readily see + that a few steps farther, even in the line of Moki development, might + have produced a form of government partaking of the monarchical, but + different from anything that we know about.<a id="FNanchor_8" href="#Footnote_8" class="fnanchor">[8]</a> Ever since I saw one of + our Arizona Pai Ute guides, a chief of his band, command a follower to + take off his shoes as he reclined by the fire, I have suspected the + existence among the Amerinds of a latent germ of aristocracy.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_009"> + <img src="images/i_009.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>A CORNER OF A MITLA RUIN, MEXICO</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>In the first flush of the discovery of America, Europe was wild + with the romance of it, and mystery was the order of the day. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_10">10</span>More + wonderful things still were expected. Fables that had done good service + for centuries were transported to the new lands, and there blazed up + with the mysterious uncertainty of the <i>ignis fatuus</i>, luring and + deceiving, till the gold-thirsting Europeans struggled in the pursuit + of such phantoms as the “Seven Cities.” The most extraordinary tales + appeared tame in that atmosphere of dazzling imagination. Exaggeration + of one kind or another has ever since been the inheritance of the + Amerind people, and it is only within a comparatively few years that + these “Americans of Yesterday” have been scientifically studied and + their real character and attainments given proper places. The whole + matter of American ethnology and archæology is new; so new that it is + impossible to speak with decision on a great many points. In the United + States we have usually regarded the Amerind as the incarnation of evil; + a treacherous demon with a bloody knife in one hand and a scalp-lock in + the other, and we have generally refused to consider the finer traits + of his character. So callous have we become to his good points that + Cooper is ridiculed for his delineation of Amerinds that have instincts + or principles above the brute, and yet Cooper’s chief models were the + Iroquois who established a remarkable political organisation.</p> + + <p>It is not necessary to be what has been scornfully called “an Indian + lover” to be interested in this extraordinarily homogeneous race that + was scattered from Alaska to Patagonia. Such interest should be a + matter apart from sentiment. We are interested in the primitive man of + Europe; few would have been pleased to live with him. So the question + whether we “like” the Amerind people and would enjoy social intercourse + with them is not to the point. It is a matter of education; a matter, + in fact, of the study of ourselves as others saw us some thousands + of years ago, for the Amerind people were passing through phases of + human existence which, in all probability, our remote ancestors also + passed through; so that by examining this kind of life we are holding + up the mirror to ourselves. Till recently the apathy shown on this + subject was surprising. People generally were not aware that there + were differences in “Indians,” or that they spoke different languages. + The idea that there was any profit in studying them was popularly + considered ridiculous. He was a “good-for-nothing,” and that was all + that there was about it. But we can no more find fault with the Amerind + for not <span class="pagenum" id="Page_11">11</span>being a European than we can with a stage-coach for not being + a locomotive. We must accept him as he was, and as he is, and wherever + possible study him and write him down so minutely that generations + of ethnologists to come will shower blessings on our heads. We must + constantly remember that the Amerind point of view is different from + ours, and that we too are only in a transitional stage.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_011"> + <img src="images/i_011.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>SCULPTURES FROM TERRACE EAST OF THE GREAT PLAZA, COPAN</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>The Amerind people, like ourselves, represent merely a stage of human + progress. Our stage is in advance of theirs, but it is by no means + perfection. We do not scalp, but the revolver is quite as active as + their scalping-knife, and we require a great number of policemen to + keep us civilised. As for war, the European race has certainly not + been backward in that respect. In Europe to-day vast bodies of men + are withdrawn from every other service and trained for war with a + completeness that the Amerind never dreamed of; and in the United + States we have probably <span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">12</span>already killed more men in wars than ever + at one time peopled it in aboriginal days. For in those days the + various groups of Amerinds were separated by tracts of unoccupied + territory; unoccupied except as the hunters roamed over it in search + of their food, and the population outside of the Aztec country and + Central America was generally sparse. Nor was the distribution of this + population always the same as it was revealed to us by the Discovery. + Tribes developed, rose to power, declined and passed away, leaving + little, where their art development was slight, to indicate their + former presence, no matter what may have been the degrees of their + political attainments. Had not our own history come in to rescue the + confederacy of the Iroquois, their remains, assuming them to have + declined without further art development, would have conveyed no + suspicion of their political organisation.</p> + + <p>Back and forth the Amerind race moved, up and down, across the face + of the American continent through the forgotten ages in ever shifting + waves impelled, in the main, by climatic conditions and food quest, + some leaving behind no record, others bequeathing to the future + monuments and edifices that astonished the world and gave birth to + elaborate and far-fetched theories to account for a development that + seems to have required no more than time and the circumstances which + existed. All the remains on this continent appear to be palpably + American; the work of the Amerinds in their various degrees of + progress. Whether they came from one source or several, they have been + long enough here to become homogeneous from one end of the hemisphere + to the other, and this, it is evident, would require a great stretch + of time.<a id="FNanchor_9" href="#Footnote_9" class="fnanchor">[9]</a> They clearly separated from the other inhabitants of the + world, in any case, at a period before those inhabitants had developed + present characteristics. From the time the human race was born, whether + as an ape or as it now stands, there was differentiation of habits, + customs, and knowledge which has never ceased and which never will + cease. But as light, air, and natural conditions are similar or the + same the world round, and as cerebral matter seems to be practically + the same in all peoples, humanity has passed everywhere through about + the same stages of development, and each stock or tribe in time has + arrived at about the same place on the road of progress because they + could not help it. Conditions might <span class="pagenum" id="Page_14">14</span>force one people ahead while + other conditions might be retarding another, but whatever progression + there has ever been was made on practically the same lines. The same + race, however, does not throughout always develop evenly. Sir John + Lubbock has said that “different races in similar stages of development + often present more features of resemblance to one another than the same + race does to itself in different stages of its history,” and to-day in + Arizona there exist near to each other two branches of the widespread + Shoshonean<a id="FNanchor_10" href="#Footnote_10" class="fnanchor">[10]</a> stock, the Pai Utes and the Mokis, who exhibit the most + marked differences of customs, the latter living in substantial houses + of stone while the former occupy the rudest kind of brush wikiups.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_013"> + <img src="images/i_013.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>A KIESKABI, OR COVERED PASSAGE, AT WALPI, ARIZONA</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>The Amerind people were living in various stages of progress at the + time of the Discovery. The Mexicans, according to Lewis Morgan, were + “one stage higher than the Mohawks and one stage lower than the + warriors of the <cite>Iliad</cite>.” Accepting this as correct, we would be + able to trace human development back of the Greeks through the Amerinds + of North America. Morgan suggested the classification of mankind in + three broad ethnic stages: Savagery, Barbarism, and Civilisation,<a id="FNanchor_11" href="#Footnote_11" class="fnanchor">[11]</a> + the first ending with the acquisition of the bow and arrow, represented + here by the Pai Utes; the second ending with the smelting of iron + ore, represented by the early Greeks; and the third beginning with a + phonetic alphabet, and represented by ourselves. In this scheme the + Mexicans would fall in the middle period of Barbarism. This is a fairly + good working basis, but, like all generalisations, it is only general. + It must not be rigidly adhered to. The conditions on this continent + were quite different from those in Europe, and consequently the line + of development could not be precisely the same. There seems to be no + good argument yet advanced and no archæological data yet exhibited + that compel us to seek an outside derivation for the Amerind race; and + this being so, it is about as reasonable to search this continent for + the original home of the yellow race as to go to Asia for that of the + red. That they may have come from there is possible, and so also it is + possible that they came from Europe. Nor should we at present exclude + even the lost <span class="pagenum" id="Page_15">15</span>Atlantis,<a id="FNanchor_12" href="#Footnote_12" class="fnanchor">[12]</a> for the geography of the world was not + always as it is now, and the elevation and subsidence of lands are + still in progress. This, of course, is admitted, as also that there was + a land connection across the Atlantic before man appeared in the world; + but man may have appeared earlier than we suspect, and this lost land + may have been in sunshine later than we believe.<a id="FNanchor_13" href="#Footnote_13" class="fnanchor">[13]</a></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp80" id="i_015"> + <img src="images/i_015.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>MOKI MASK OF PAWIKKATCINA</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>The Amerinds of North America were practically a people of stone + culture, because while some had developed an ability to <span class="pagenum" id="Page_16">16</span>employ copper + to a limited extent, they used stone tools for most of their work; + their highest government appears to have been the confederacy, with in + some cases perhaps a monarchical tendency; they were without domestic + animals; without beasts of burden; without fireplaces or chimneys; + without inside stairs; and without wheeled vehicles.

These various stocks + differed considerably from each other in manners, customs, possibly in + origin, and in languages, the last often being widely different.<a id="FNanchor_14" href="#Footnote_14" class="fnanchor">[14]</a> + Yet there was a homogeneity binding them all together as one distinct + race while at the same time separating them completely from other races + of the world as now constituted. The subdivisions of the Amerind stocks + were not always contiguously distributed on the continent, but, as + in the case of the Navajo-Apache branch of the Athapascan, sometimes + separated from their kindred by wide stretches of territory peopled + by other stocks, and also, as in the case of the Navajos, somewhat + altered by absorption of people of another stock. Various methods of + arranging the distribution and classification of these stocks have + been attempted, but the basis of language appears to offer the most + advantages and the greatest accuracy. There are some who dispute the + correctness of the present analysis of the Amerind languages, and + deprecate the classifications obtained <span class="pagenum" id="Page_18">18</span>by this means,<a id="FNanchor_15" href="#Footnote_15" class="fnanchor">[15]</a> but foremost + students, like Brinton, Gatschet, Powell, Steinthal, and others, have + pronounced unequivocally in favour of its value when applied with + judgment.</p> + + <p>“Nothing is so indelible as speech,” wrote George Bancroft; “sounds + that in ages of unknown antiquity were spoken among the nations of + Hindostan still live in their significancy in the language which we + daily utter.” And this fact has been the corner-stone of the modern + science of linguistics, which maintains accordingly that the possession + of similar <em>language roots</em> and grammatical construction by two + otherwise distinct tribes proves a relationship or a common descent. + In this way, as is well understood, the Indo-Germanic—that is, our + European stock—has been traced back toward its origin. The accuracy + of this has been questioned, but it doubtless affords the best method + attainable.<a id="FNanchor_16" href="#Footnote_16" class="fnanchor">[16]</a> The same principle is applicable to the American + languages, which afford an immense field for linguistic study in their + great diversity. This diversity is not popularly understood, the + majority of our people believing that if a person can speak “Indian” he + could converse with every tribe on the continent. Yet within a limited + area in Arizona he would find useless in four different tribes the + language he had learned, say, in California; and in California itself + some twenty or thirty tribes would listen to his words, as well as to + those of each other, without a gleam of understanding. And not one of + the languages of any of these tribes would serve him in the Mississippi + or in the Atlantic region any better than English, for the Iroquois + and the Algonquin and other Eastern tongues are as widely different + from those of California as they are from each other, while every + one contains numerous dialects, or what may be called sub-languages, + also exhibiting great variations. The early missionaries were slow to + discover these facts, and it was a source of discouragement for them to + learn that, after long study to acquire a language, it was spoken by + only a single group of the natives, while adjacent to them dwelt others + who spoke a totally different one.<a id="FNanchor_17" href="#Footnote_17" class="fnanchor">[17]</a></p> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_19">19</span></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp85" id="i_019"> + <img src="images/i_019.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>“SINGING-GIRL” SCULPTURED IN TRACHYTE<br> + From débris of Temple 22, Copan.

Therefore we have <span class="pagenum" id="Page_20">20</span>in North + America not only a large number of distinct languages, but within these + separate languages an immense number of dialects or sub-languages, + sometimes as many as twenty in one stock varying from each other as + much as, say, English and German. At least sixty-five of the separate + stock languages are distinguished in North America which appear so + radically separated from each other that it is believed impossible + that they ever should have sprung from the same parent, unless it may + have been at a time so remote as to be beyond the scope of present + investigation. In the classification according to these languages it + has been necessary to have a general designation for each stock, and in + selecting the names to be thus used, Powell and others have observed + the law of priority of mention, as far as possible, and have derived + the stock name from the author first mentioning it in print since 1836, + the date of Gallatin’s great work, which is taken as the foundation. + The termination “an,” or “ian,” is added to distinguish the family or + stock name from a tribal name, for often a tribe bears the name given + to the whole stock. As examples, Algonquian may be mentioned as a stock + name taken from the tribal name of Algonquin, and Mayan from the tribal + name, Maya. This is not always strictly adhered to outside of the + Bureau of Ethnology because of its frequent inconvenience, and in the + case of Mayan the term Maya is preferably used by some investigators + and writers as being simpler, and Brinton gives it as the stock + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_21">21</span>name.<a id="FNanchor_18" href="#Footnote_18" class="fnanchor">[18]</a> Following the distribution of tribes as closely as possible + at the time of the first contact with white men, Powell and his able + associates of the U.

Fifty-eight are thus shown, but + south of the Mexican border are perhaps a dozen more. Continuous study + may succeed in bringing some of the stocks into relationship or in + dividing them still further. In their beginning, languages probably + changed rapidly; memory was deficient, intercourse slight, and + comparatively short separations of tribes speaking originally the same + tongue were sufficient to establish entire new sets of words. These + separations were apt to occur frequently when methods of subsistence + were crude and difficult, migrations frequent, and population sparse. + As races developed memory grew to better proportions, and after the + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_22">22</span>introduction among the Amerinds of mnemonic records and other memory + devices their languages became more crystallised, till within the later + centuries changes have come about slowly. That many more languages + once existed on the American continents than we have any trace of is, + therefore, probable. By intercourse, by intermingling, by the crossing + and absorbing of stocks was finally produced what we find to-day, or + did find yesterday, a reduced number of different stocks, but still + so many that the archæologist views the field with amazement, and the + layman looks upon it with incredulity.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp90" id="i_020"> + <img src="images/i_020.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>TERRA COTTA STOOL, CHIRIQUI</figcaption> + </figure> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp80" id="i_021"> + <img src="images/i_021.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>ALTAR Q, COPAN, HONDURAS<br> + From photograph by M. H. Saville, Museum of Natural History</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>And these Amerind languages are as remarkable for their separation in + a body from the Old World languages as they are in their separation + from each other. This in itself seems to bestow upon the Amerind people + a vast antiquity in their isolation from other peoples, and adding + to it the testimony of their art works, their implements, and their + pictographs and hieroglyphs, there seems to be no escape from granting + them to be a division of mankind by themselves.</p> + + <p>Not only does the differentiation of the stock languages indicate + antiquity, but that of the dialects adds strong testimony. Brinton + cites Dr. Stohl’s opinion that “the difference which is presented + between the Cakchiquel and the Maya dialects could not have arisen in + less than 2000 years.”<a id="FNanchor_20" href="#Footnote_20" class="fnanchor">[20]</a></p> + + <p>It may be urged that the Amerind languages are loose and shifting + and that a few centuries would be sufficient to bring about on this + continent a complete and total difference in a language from its mother + tongue in, we will say, Siberia; but the more closely the matter is + studied the more apparent is the tenacity with which each stock retains + its special form. Of this tenacity a modern example exists in the + village of Tewa (or Hano) now forming one of the seven villages of the + Moki, and situated on what is known as the “First or East Mesa.” The + people of this village are not Hopi (Moki) stock, Hopi being the Moki + name for themselves,<a id="FNanchor_21" href="#Footnote_21" class="fnanchor">[21]</a> but belong to a Rio Grande stock, the Tañoan + of Powell, and the Tehua of Brinton, having come from the Rio Grande + country to their present location somewhere about 1680. The Moki, who + are believed to belong to the Shoshonean stock <span class="pagenum" id="Page_24">24</span>(though they are + probably composite), permitted them to repair and occupy old houses + which stood on the site of the present village and there they have + lived amicably ever since, to all appearances completely amalgamated + with the Moki. The ordinary observer sees little to distinguish them + from the other Amerinds of the locality, and they speak the Moki + language like Mokis, but within their own village and by their own + firesides they largely use the speech of their forefathers, and to all + appearances will go on speaking it till the end. Here, then, is this + little community separated for a long period and by many miles from + their immediate kindred, mingling daily with people of another stock + and another language, yet preserving their own language intact.<a id="FNanchor_22" href="#Footnote_22" class="fnanchor">[22]</a> + And if this has happened once within historical times it may have + happened before any number of times, and goes to prove that these + various languages have in them elements of stability greater than + has heretofore been admitted. Powell says that in his long study of + savage tongues he has everywhere been “impressed with the fact that + they are singularly persistent, and that a language which is dependent + for its existence upon oral tradition is not easily modified.” On the + other hand John Fiske expresses the opinion that “barbaric languages + are neither widespread nor durable. In the course of two or three + generations a dialect gets so strangely altered as virtually to lose + its identity.” The Algonquian languages were spread over an immense + area, and the Shoshonean had an even greater range.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_023"> + <img src="images/i_023.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>SOUTH-WEST CORNER OF THE TEMPLE OF XOCHICALCO, STATE OF MORELOS, MEXICO</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Brinton contradicts the assertion of Waldeck “that the language (of + the Mayas) has undergone such extensive changes that what was written + a century ago is unintelligible to a native of to-day. So far is this + from the truth that, except for a few obsolete words, the narrative of + the Conquest, written more than three hundred years ago by the chief, + Pech, could be read without difficulty by any educated native.” Thus + it seems probable that the Amerind languages extant have been spoken + nearly as we know them to-day for a great many centuries, and that + modifications crept in slowly; so slowly that the language roots and + grammatical construction of the various stocks are so distinct that + they <span class="pagenum" id="Page_25">25</span>form the safest guide now available in the classification of the + various branches of the Amerind race; and furthermore that, judged by + these tests, these languages have no relationship to any other group. + Powell places more reliance, as a test, in the lexical elements,—that + is, in the <em>language roots</em>,—than in the grammatical structure, + as the latter is constantly changing. “The roots of a language,” he + maintains, “are its most permanent characteristics, and while the words + which are formed from them may change so as to obscure their elements + or in some cases even to lose them, it seems that they are never lost + from all, but can be recovered in large part.” If there should be + advanced the criticism that these Amerind languages had little or no + literature, and therefore are not equal to languages so recorded, as a + test of affinity, it may be noted that the largest number of languages + throughout the world have produced no literature. Max Müller says: + “It is a mere accident that languages should ever have been reduced + to writing.” However this may be, such an accident appears to be in + the line of regular human development, and when a people arrive at the + right point in their mental evolution they invent a means of recording + their thought. It seems, therefore, to be rather a state of mind than + an accident. The Mayas of this continent had reached the point for + speech recording and, following the natural order, they invented a + system and made books of record.</p> + + <p>Because of certain similarities of physique, of words, or of myths, + or of customs, however slight, the Amerinds have been identified with + almost every people under the sun.<a id="FNanchor_23" href="#Footnote_23" class="fnanchor">[23]</a> These similarities are only such + as might occur where similar organisms are continuously subjected to + similar conditions, and the really remarkable fact is that there are + not more and even closer resemblances. Some of the arguments advanced + to uphold the so-called identifications are extraordinary. In language + the Amerinds have been found to speak—or at least have been claimed + to speak—Irish, Welsh, Norse, Chinese, and many other independent + or interrelated tongues, yet with the exception of the Basque, the + structure of all the Old World languages has little in common with the + Amerind. Brinton has shown<a id="FNanchor_24" href="#Footnote_24" class="fnanchor">[24]</a> that a number of Maya words resemble + our English words of the same meanings, as, bateel and battle, hol and + hole, hun and one, lum and loam, pol and poll <span class="pagenum" id="Page_26">26</span>(head), potum and pot, + pul and pull, and so on, but nobody has yet ventured to deduce from + this that the Mayas are first cousins of the English.<a id="FNanchor_25" href="#Footnote_25" class="fnanchor">[25]</a> The Maya + language certainly does differ from almost all others on the continent + in its construction. Before Gallatin’s time, the wildest statements + flourished because the few linguists who had paid attention to Amerind + languages had worked in rather a desultory manner and had made no + determined effort to systematise them and group them under their stock + names. Gallatin was the first to bring order out of what appeared + to be an almost hopeless tangle, and Powell, Brinton, and others, + supplementing and developing these labours of Gallatin, have been able + to present the subject in definite shape with a promise of greater + accuracy in the near future. Many languages which are known to have + existed at the beginning of European acquaintance with America have + disappeared with the tribes which used them. Some of these were spoken + by mere handfuls of people, while others were wider spread.</p> + + <p>With so many distinct languages on the continent, and with many + tribes totally ignorant of the speech of their neighbours, there + became necessary a means for the interchange of ideas which should + not entirely rely on spoken words, and this means was found in a + “sign-language” assisted by a few words of each spoken language which + were simple and commonly known, or by words which belonged to no spoken + language but which through accident were attributed by each side to the + other. This sign-language was of extensive development and existed not + only among the Amerinds but all over the world, and bore a resemblance + to the sign-language now used in some of our deaf-mute schools. This + peculiar sign-language possessed varieties like spoken language + corresponding to dialects. For a time its existence was disputed, but + the work of Mallery and others has established it beyond question.</p> + + <p>Besides the gesture language, tribes not understanding each other’s + speech had recourse to a medley of corrupted words from each language, + from other languages, and from no language at all but springing into + being through misunderstandings and necessities. When white men came + upon the scene they often thought they were talking “Indian,” while + the Amerinds thought <span class="pagenum" id="Page_27">27</span>it was the white man’s tongue, and neither + was talking the language of the other at all or of any other people + in existence. It was a jargon. If the whites had previously learned + something of another Amerind tongue, for example Algonquin, and they + were trying to talk to Dakotas, they would use Algonquin terms, + supposing them to be intelligible to the Dakotas, and the latter would + suppose them to be English words. These would gradually accumulate + through usage, together with nondescript terms, until a working jargon + was formed. In this may perhaps be discovered <span class="pagenum" id="Page_28">28</span>one of the causes + that led to the former belief that Amerind languages were loose and + changeable.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp90" id="i_027"> + <img src="images/i_027.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>POLISHED BLACK WARE, SANTA CLARA, NEW MEXICO</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>One of the most important and most interesting of the jargon languages + is that known as the Chinook,<a id="FNanchor_26" href="#Footnote_26" class="fnanchor">[26]</a> in the north-western United States, + along the Columbia River, which grew into such proportions that it + formed at length the principal language in a wide district. It is made + up of words from Chinook, Chehali, Selish, Nootka, English, French, and + other languages, with a large number of words that belong nowhere else. + This same process in earlier times going on between several different + tribes doubtless gave birth to permanent languages, which in their turn + were again modified. Even in our own every-day English we use hundreds + of borrowed words and also some that, like “skedaddle,” “mugwump,” + etc., were coined for special occasions. We hardly give a thought to + the origin of these words which are seen side by side with others that + have come to us through a thousand years and still others that were + only yesterday the gift of the Amerind. How few realise when they + say chocolate, squash, mush, hominy, pone, succotash, or other terms + equally familiar from Amerind sources, that they are talking “Indian”! + Tobacco, of course, all understand came from the native language, but + it is generally supposed to have been the name of the plant, when in + reality it was the name of the roll of leaves from the plant, which was + called “a tobacco,” as we now call it a cigar.</p> + + <p>Sometimes words appear similar when they have no shadow of + relationship, the resemblance being purely accidental. Powell cites + the word “tia,” meaning deer in some of the Shoshonean languages. This + was at first supposed to be an attempt on the part of the Shoshones to + pronounce our own word “deer,” but further investigation has shown it + to be the original Shoshone name for deer, and that in some dialects it + was called “tiats” and in others “tiav.” Brinton, as already mentioned, + calls attention to similar resemblances between Maya and English words.</p> + + <p>A tribe would often possess two languages, one known only to the + priesthood and the other the language of the people, the priest + language being the older, just as to-day we find the priests of the + Roman Catholic Church using a dead language in their sacred functions + while the parishioners use the ordinary one. Bourke <span class="pagenum" id="Page_29">29</span>believed that + the Zuñis and the Mokis each have a language of this kind,<a id="FNanchor_27" href="#Footnote_27" class="fnanchor">[27]</a> and it + is thought that the Central-American tribes also had. Such hieratic + languages would necessarily be far older than the languages in common + use, therefore if the latter tend to indicate a great antiquity for the + Amerind race, we should be carried still farther back by the hieratic + languages. Occasionally tribes have spoken two languages, both familiar + to the common people, as in the case of the Tewas speaking Moki as well + as their own language, already referred to. The Tubares of Mexico, + nearly extinct, are said to have spoken two different languages among + themselves, one a dialect of the Nahuatl.<a id="FNanchor_28" href="#Footnote_28" class="fnanchor">[28]</a></p> + + <p>Gatschet, the eminent student of Amerind languages, declares that “the + majority suppose that an Indian language is simply a gibberish not + worth bothering about, but languages that can preserve identity for + centuries are certainly something more than gibberish.” He further + points out that while “the Indian neglects to express with accuracy + some relations which seem of permanent importance to us, as tense and + sex, his language is largely superior to ours in the variety of its + personal pronouns, in many forms expressing the mode of action, or + the idea of property and possession, and the relations of the persons + addressed to the subject of the sentence.”</p> + + <p>Again it is said by some persons, “Why study languages which have no + literature, and dialects that are known only to savages?” but Max + Müller insists that “dialects which never produced any literature at + all, the jargons of savage tribes, the clicks of Hottentots, and the + vocal modulations of the Indo-Chinese, are as important, nay, for the + solution of some of our problems, more important, than the poetry of + Homer or the prose of Cicero. We do not want to know languages; we want + to know language, what language is, how it can form a vehicle or organ + of thought; we want to know its origin, its nature, its laws.”</p> + + <p>Here in North America exists a splendid field for this study, but until + recently it has been sadly neglected. This neglect has been largely + due to the attitude of the people at large, an attitude of apathy and + contempt for anything “Indian.” Opportunities <span class="pagenum" id="Page_30">30</span>that can never come + again have been allowed to pass heedlessly away. We have not half + realised the importance of collecting the linguistic treasures that + are scattered across the length and breadth of the country, partly + because of the foolish and narrow estimate of the Amerind which for so + long a time dominated the public mind. We have despised his languages + because we thought he did not bathe with sufficient frequency! “To + draw conclusions from the exterior appearance of a people on their + language,” exclaims Gatschet, “and to suppose that a man not worth + looking at cannot speak a language worth studying, would be the acme of + superficiality.” Remnants of tribes have died out and their language + unrecorded has died with them even within a comparatively few years.<a id="FNanchor_29" href="#Footnote_29" class="fnanchor">[29]</a></p> + + <p>As an example of the necessity for prompt investigation, an incident + mentioned by Putnam may be cited. In a conversation with a gentleman + whom he had recently met, he learned of Mrs. Oliver’s acquaintance with + the Karankawas of Texas, and her knowledge of their language. Now it + happened that Gatschet had made a fruitless search in Texas for some + trustworthy information regarding the language of this extinct tribe, + and when Putnam sent him Mrs. Oliver’s vocabulary he was delighted and + immediately paid a visit to the old lady, obtaining much additional + information about these Amerinds, among whom Mrs. Oliver had spent her + early life. Within three months afterward she died.</p> + + <p>That the Amerind has no literature is true if by literature we mean + only written books, for outside of Yucatan and Mexico there were no + native books, and the Spaniards burned all they could find of these, + but if we accept the enormous number of legends, myths, songs, and + ceremonial lore mnemonically recorded, as literature, and they surely + become literature when we write them down, then the Amerind is not so + poor in this respect as has been generally considered.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_031"> + <img src="images/i_031.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>EASTERN FAÇADE OF THE TEMPLE OF XOCHICALCO, STATE OF MORELOS, MEXICO</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>In North America, as in other parts of the world, the various language + stocks occupy areas differing enormously in proportions. Some are + confined to small tracts, while others, as mentioned above, are spread + over wide territory. The Algonquian stock, for <span class="pagenum" id="Page_32">32</span>instance, occupied + an immense area while the Zuñian is a mere spot in the expanse of New + Mexico. More than thirty of the stocks lie within the Pacific region, + six on the banks of the Klamath River alone.</p> + + <p>The Amerind languages, with the exception of the Maya and possibly + one or two others, are polysynthetic, and no other languages of the + world have exactly this construction, though, as has previously been + stated, that of the Basques has a construction somewhat similar. By + polysynthetic is meant a language that permits the incorporation + of a great many words in one sentence, till all are fused into one + “bunch-word” of from ten to fifteen or more syllables. Examples are + often quoted from Eskimo<a id="FNanchor_30" href="#Footnote_30" class="fnanchor">[30]</a> which in our eyes appear ridiculous in + their cumbersome length, but they are as intelligible and valuable + to the Eskimo as our words are to us. While the Basque more nearly + resembles the Amerind languages than does any other Old World tongue, + it stops short of the incorporating power of that of the Amerinds. In + Basque this is restricted to the verb and some pronominal elements, + but in the Amerind it embraces all parts of speech. It is specially + interesting to note also that Basque in the Old World is an isolated + language, the only one there of its kind. The Amerinds who look + alike are not always the ones who speak the same language. Quite + different-looking Amerinds will sometimes speak the same tongue, while + others who look the same will speak different ones. The Pueblos of + New Mexico and Arizona, while apparently of one race, speak several + different stock languages, while some of the natives of Labrador, who + are of apparently different stocks, speak dialects of one language. + Nor, as has been mentioned, is the area occupied by one stock always + continuous.<a id="FNanchor_31" href="#Footnote_31" class="fnanchor">[31]</a> The Athapascan, next to the Eskimo, is the most + northerly stock, yet three small branches are found south, on the + Pacific coast of the United States, while two large branches, the + Navajos and the Apaches, extend through Arizona and New Mexico, the + latter far into the country of Mexico proper. In the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_33">33</span>same way the + Siouan<a id="FNanchor_32" href="#Footnote_32" class="fnanchor">[32]</a> lies in the middle region of the United States, but a + small band still lingered, at the beginning of the Columbian era, + on the Gulf coast in Mexico, and another smaller band in eastern + North Carolina, having for a near neighbour still <span class="pagenum" id="Page_34">34</span>another, which + spread itself over three States. These detached bands indicate great + movements on the part of the various stocks. One Amerind language, + the Eskimo, has been traced across Bering Strait into Asia, but + thus far no language has been traced from Asia into America. When + the Asiatic and North-west Coast investigations instituted by the + American Museum of Natural History, under the auspices of Mr. Jesup, + are completed, something more definite will be known on the subject + of possible affinities. In addition to the great difference in their + formation, some of the Amerind languages do not possess sounds common + to European languages, and on the other hand they sometimes have + sounds rarely heard elsewhere. The Pai Utes have no “f,” and when they + try to pronounce “fire” they can only say “piah.” The Moki cannot + say “s” before “k” or hard “c.” In trying to pronounce “school” they + say “cool.” There is no “r” in Huron, Mexican, Otomi, and some other + languages, and several have no “i.” The Iroquois have no labials, and + do not articulate with their lips. Cherokee has the same peculiarity, + as it is an Iroquoian language. The Karankawa contains sounds rarely + heard in European languages, while other sounds common to the latter + are absent altogether from the Karankawa, so that in this language is + found not only a complete difference from European tongues in grammatic + structure and lexical elements, but a complete difference in phonetics + as well, and in the last respect it differs also from other Amerind + languages. Altogether the Karankawa shows many peculiarities, and it is + unfortunate that the authentic material relating to it is so limited. + In the Navajo there is a common combination of “tl” with a peculiar + explosive click.<a id="FNanchor_33" href="#Footnote_33" class="fnanchor">[33]</a> The tongue is placed with the tip against the roof + of the mouth and pressure as for “t” made against it, the “l” sound + immediately following by an explosion at the side. It is a peculiar + sound, and the Navajo language is filled with it.<a id="FNanchor_34" href="#Footnote_34" class="fnanchor">[34]</a></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp85" id="i_033"> + <img src="images/i_033.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>AMERIND LINGUISTIC MAP OF NORTH AMERICA, AFTER THE ONE PREPARED BY + THE U.

This is complicated and many + investigators use their own systems and translate afterwards into + the more general one. The great difference in the Amerind sounds + necessitates many different characters and inverted letters standing + for peculiar sounds.</p> + + <p>Of all the Amerind languages of North America, that of the Eskimo is + probably the most homogeneous. Its dialects are alike from one side of + the continent to the other, following similarity in other respects. + Dall states there is a saying “that a man understanding thoroughly + the dialect of either extreme, could pass from village to village, + from Greenland to Labrador, from Labrador to Bering Strait, and thence + southward to the Copper River, staying five days in each halting place, + and that in all that journey he would encounter no greater differences + of speech and customs than he could master in the few days devoted + to each settlement. Probably there is no other race in the world + distributed over an equal territory, which exhibits such solidarity.” + They do not take to new languages. Though the Eskimo of Alaska have + had long intercourse with English-speaking men, their English is very + limited.

As it was, the Mayas<a id="FNanchor_38" href="#Footnote_38" class="fnanchor">[38]</a> had reached a considerable + degree of efficiency, and the Aztecs were following close. The more + northern stocks, however, had not passed beyond the elementary + stage. In the sense in which artists now use the word “drawing,” + it hardly existed anywhere on this continent; that is, there was + little exactness and delicacy of delineation, but <span class="pagenum" id="Page_42">42</span>it was mainly an + offhand representation of objects in a barbaric fashion. There was + considerable merit in some of the work executed by the sculptors, + but it was nevertheless as a whole aboriginal and primitive. In the + middle region the drawings and rock peckings<a id="FNanchor_39" href="#Footnote_39" class="fnanchor">[39]</a> have no artistic + merit whatever, and are like the work of little children; nor are the + Eskimo efforts much better. The Eastern States do not afford the same + abundance of characters pecked and scratched, and sometimes painted on + the rocks, that exists in the Rocky Mountain region, and particularly + in the South-west, where they are found everywhere.<a id="FNanchor_40" href="#Footnote_40" class="fnanchor">[40]</a> This may be + due to the more verdant nature of the eastern part of the country, + and also to the fact that the broad, smooth surfaces of sandstone + exposed so universally in the South-west are generally absent in the + East. Another reason may be that the Amerinds of the various<span class="pagenum" id="Page_43">43</span> Pueblo + stocks and allied tribes were more given to inscribing the rocks in + this manner. Certain it is that wherever evidences exist of the former + occupation of a locality by Amerinds of the Pueblo kind, there rocks + will be found covered with markings and paintings. These people went + everywhere in their region, and they generally left some record on the + rocks, as they do to-day. If one thinks he has found a place where + they did not arrive in that vast land of cliffs and canyons, he is + sure soon to be undeceived. Once I reached a little platform on the + face of a cliff in Arizona by hard scrambling, part of the way through + a narrow crevice, and as I stood viewing the valley a thousand feet + below, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_44">44</span>I thought, “Now, at last, I am on a spot where the Shinumo<a id="FNanchor_41" href="#Footnote_41" class="fnanchor">[41]</a> + never stood.” As I turned to make my way down again I was confronted + by a lot of pictographs spread across the whole of the smooth wall + behind. Thus it was almost everywhere: in the deep gorges of the + Colorado River, in its side canyons, in the cliffs above and around, + and all along Green River, at least as far north as the lower end of + Split-Mountain canyon, these pictures occur. The climate is dry, and + there is little change from one century’s end to another.<a id="FNanchor_42" href="#Footnote_42" class="fnanchor">[42]</a> Some are + comparatively recent, while others, even some of the painted ones, + are old; how old it is impossible to estimate, but many of them are + found in regions where no Amerinds of the Pueblo type<a id="FNanchor_43" href="#Footnote_43" class="fnanchor">[43]</a> have lived + within historical times, or within the memory of those Amerinds who + now occupy the region. Some of the painted figures in sheltered places + appeared fresh, but they must have been at least a century or two + old. The other Amerinds, while they also executed picture-writings + of various kinds, did not so often decorate rock surfaces with them. + They were more inclined to drawing and painting on buffalo robes and + other <span class="pagenum" id="Page_45">45</span>skins, on bark, on trees, shell, pottery; even the human form + in some regions not being exempt. The Puebloans, while utilising + most of these methods, also used the rocks a great deal, the country + they occupied abounding in broad, smooth faces attractive for this + purpose. In the settled East the perishable substances have long ago + disappeared, except those fortunately preserved in museums or private + collections. Comparatively few rock inscriptions are found there, + and these have created considerable discussion and the usual number + of theories. The markings, undoubtedly Algonquian, on the now widely + known Dighton Rock in Massachusetts were for a long time ascribed to + the Northmen, and were copied in a great many different ways.<a id="FNanchor_44" href="#Footnote_44" class="fnanchor">[44]</a> The + trouble arose from the same reason that has led to so many mistaken + theories regarding the Amerind race—that is, an underestimate of their + intellectual side, so far as those north of Mexico are concerned, and + an overestimate of those in the latter region. Brinton asserts that + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_47">47</span>the Algonquins had developed the picture-writing <em>farther than any + other stock north of the Aztecs</em>. “It had passed,” he says, “from + the representative to the symbolic stage, and was extensively employed + to preserve the national history and rites of the secret societies. + The figures were scratched or painted on pieces of bark or slabs of + wood, and as the colour of the paint was red, these were sometimes + called ‘red sticks.’” Some of these slabs, or “red sticks,” like the + <i>Walam Olum</i> (<i>walam</i> = painted, and <i>olum</i> = scores + or notches on a stick) of the Lenapés,<a id="FNanchor_45" href="#Footnote_45" class="fnanchor">[45]</a> have been preserved. Many + of the figures executed by the Amerinds, not excepting the Aztecs and + the Mayas, were grotesque, and even childish. Their strangeness is + frequently due to our unfamiliarity with the originals, figures with + queer hair-dressing, masks, or complete ceremonial costume, which, if + we could see them to-day, would resemble nothing we had ever imagined + or viewed before. The extraordinary make-up of these people for their + ceremonials is beyond anything our race can imagine.

It was a natural thing that races should attempt to record + these signs, and some early hieroglyphs in Egyptian can clearly be + traced to them. These same efforts occurred amongst the Amerind + stocks in varying degree. Picture-writing, the world over, as well as + particularly in North America, probably grew out of sign-language, + giving, as the first stage in the development, sign-language, second + pictographs, third alphabet. These merge into each other, as there + was not a series of jumps, but a slow and gradual progression. Many + pictographs are merely representations of natural objects and had + no special significance, others were guide marks to springs, others + recorded visits to certain localities. Mallery states a particularly + interesting fact, that within “each particular system ... every + Indian draws in precisely the same manner.” Therefore, if a perfect + understanding of each tribal system is obtained, the various rock + markings and other pictographs can be classified. Sometimes frauds<a id="FNanchor_48" href="#Footnote_48" class="fnanchor">[48]</a> + have been attempted by white men, one well-known case being where + an Illinois blacksmith copied on six copper plates designs from a + Chinese tea-box, and then claimed that the plates had been found in + a mound.

In 1821, George Gist (or Guess), whose native + name was Sequoyah, a Cherokee, who spoke little if any English, but + whose father was a Dutch peddler and whose mother was of mixed blood, + produced an alphabet, or, more correctly speaking, a syllabary, which + was immediately adopted by his tribe, and enabled them to record their + traditions, sacred formulæ, prayers, etc., which to-day form a valuable + portion of the information we possess of these Amerind people. Many of + the symbols were adapted from our alphabet, an old spelling-book having + found its way into Sequoyah’s hands, but it was the forms which were + utilised, the sounds they represented being usually different.

There was another, a mnemonic + use, of more importance—that is, it was a means of recording and + of communicating mnemonically among the tribes of the North-east. + The Iroquois used it chiefly in the form of belts. The beads were + generally white, and were used in strings as well as belts, other + colours being mingled with the white, as purple and white, or black and + white. These strings had important functions in summoning officers, + in representing persons, and in conferring authority. But all wampum + had a meaning only to those who remembered the particular association + of particular forms of it, and the knowledge once entirely forgotten + could never be regained. Consequently the ideas with which the belts, + etc., were associated had to be regularly brought to mind. Once a year, + therefore, they were exhibited in public, and the story connected + with each carefully rehearsed so that it <span class="pagenum" id="Page_56">56</span>should not be lost through + forgetfulness. This custom is still kept up among the remnants of the + wampum-using tribes. In other tribes, formulæ and drawings were often + preserved by certain orders who rehearsed them in the privacy of the + kiva. The wampum beads were generally ⅛ inch by ¼ inch diameter—that + is, flat discs of shell. They were sometimes also ¼ to ½ inch thick, + with the same diameter.

That some of them may have had such significance + is admitted below, but the bulk of those on this continent it seems + possible to explain without resort to symbolism. An explanation which + I offer, for what it may be worth, I have never seen suggested, though + the idea may not be new. It is well known that the common form of + fire-drill in use from one end of this continent to the other <span class="pagenum" id="Page_66">66</span>was that + in which the end of a straight stick is made to rotate back and forth + in a rounded cavity in another stick of softer wood called the hearth. + In order that the operation should be speedily successful in producing + fire, it was necessary to have the end of the drill convex, so that + it would immediately bear as nearly as possible on the whole surface + of the hearth cavity. In order to produce this convexity, the Amerind + pecked a small cavity on a slab or rock of sandstone, and when he had + it in the proper condition, he could bring his drill very quickly + to the desired convexity, and also give it a roughness of surface + that would contribute to the friction. As the fire-drill was long in + constant use, many cavities were necessary, for a cavity would grow too + deep, or for some other cause would not be adequate. A new hole would + then be made, and thus in the course of time there would be numbers of + the cavities on a rock or slab, which was convenient or had been found + to possess the right texture for the purpose. My opinion, therefore, + is that these so-called “cup markings” or “cupped” stones were in + America the result of the sharpening of fire-drills, just as the long + grooves seen at the Moki towns to-day are the result of the sharpening + of planting sticks. Gerard Fowke describes the cupped-stones in the + Bureau of Ethnology collection,<a id="FNanchor_59" href="#Footnote_59" class="fnanchor">[59]</a> as follows, and it will be noticed + that thin pieces have cups on both sides, while the large blocks have + them only on one. This was because it was convenient to turn the small + stones over. In some cases where a cup had worn too large, another + was started in the bottom of it, perhaps because the rock at that + particular spot suited the fancy of the individual. Fowke says: “The + cupped-stones in the Bureau are almost invariably of reddish sandstone, + of varying texture, from a few ounces to thirty pounds in weight. The + holes are from one to twenty-five in number, of various sizes, even in + the same stone, and follow the natural contour of the surface even when + that is quite irregular; the stone is never flattened or dressed to + bring the cups on a level; none show any marks of work, but are rough + blocks or slabs in their natural state. Many of the holes are roughly + pecked in, but the larger ones are usually smooth, as if ground out, + and almost complete hemispheres. They range from a pit only started or + going scarcely beyond the surface to one two inches in diameter. The + smaller ones with one cup pass into the pitted stones. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_67">67</span>Occasionally + at the bottom of a large cup there is a small secondary hole as though + made by a flint drill. Slabs or thin pieces nearly always have cups on + both sides, while blocks or thick slabs have them on one side only.”</p> + + <p>In the case of the cup markings of the Eastern Hemisphere, their + frequent peculiar arrangement accompanied by grooves and circles may + have pertained to some ceremony connected with the drill-dressing. It + may have been thought that the fire would come quicker, be better, or + last longer when the drill was dressed in holes of a certain type; or + special stones and holes of peculiar arrangement may have been required + for dressing the drill-end that was to be used by the priest in the + sacred ceremony of producing the “new-fire.” In this manner a primitive + custom might become sacred and be surrounded with symbolism exemplified + in cup markings the world over.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp50" id="i_067"> + <img src="images/i_067.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>CUP FROM CHIRIQUI</figcaption> + </figure> + + <hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> + <div class="chapter" id="Ch_IV"> + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_68">68</span></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp40" id="i_068"> + <img src="images/i_068.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>TERRA COTTA FROM CHIRIQUI</figcaption> + </figure> + + <h2>CHAPTER IV</h2> + </div> + + <div class="subheadc">THE MEXICAN AND CENTRAL-AMERICAN WRITING, INSCRIPTIONS, AND BOOKS</div> + + <p class="drop-cap">WHILE there are found in the mounds of the central Mississippi + region, and also among the living natives of the North-west coast, + resemblances to the art work of the Aztecs, Mayas, and other tribes of + the Central-American region, there is no evidence that there was any + approach, in these localities or elsewhere, to any kind of record to be + compared with the proficiency of the South. What there may once have + been in the way of writings on bark or wood we can only conjecture. The + Davenport tablet has been pronounced, on good authority, to be within + the powers of the Dakota tribes. Other tablets and inscriptions of the + Eastern region are surrounded with doubt.</p> + + <p>The Mexican, that is, the Aztec, writing was more pictorial than + that of the Mayas. It was cruder in every way, and comparing the + two in the pages of Kingsborough and later reproductions, it is + easy to distinguish a superior culture indicated by the writing of + the Maya. We are more fortunate in the number of Aztec manuscripts + preserved. The Spanish priests did what they could to obliterate the + books existing when they came into the country, and Bishop Zumarraga + made a fine bonfire out of a lot of them. But some escaped. Some + priests sent copies or originals <span class="pagenum" id="Page_69">69</span>back home as curiosities, thinking, + doubtless, that this took them out of the sight of the natives quite + as effectually as the burning, and the natives themselves succeeded + in preserving in secret some of the ancient documents. None of the + oldest, however, have been found, but in time the number known to us + may be considerably increased. One by one they turn up unexpectedly. + That called the Codex Borgia was in use as a plaything of children + of the Gustiniani family, till rescued by Cardinal Borgia, and only + recently another one has been found dating from the year 1545,<a id="FNanchor_60" href="#Footnote_60" class="fnanchor">[60]</a> + wherein there are pictorial combinations never before seen. Thus + gradually our data are increasing, and with the awakening interest in + Amerindian archæology that seems to have come in these latter days of + the nineteenth century, a century that has let slip much valuable data + never to be recovered, further finds may be expected from time to time. + The style of the Aztec documents is different from that of the Maya and + Brinton believes them to be independent developments. It is possible, + however, that both were derived from the same source and developed + independently.<a id="FNanchor_61" href="#Footnote_61" class="fnanchor">[61]</a> The Aztec writing is of a “rebus” character, and + Brinton has applied to it the term <i>ikonomatic</i>, which he explains + as follows in his <cite>Essays of an Americanist</cite><a id="FNanchor_62" href="#Footnote_62" class="fnanchor">[62]</a>: “All methods of + recording ideas have been divided into two classes—Thought Writing and + Sound Writing. The first, simplest and oldest, is Thought Writing. This + in turn is subdivided into two forms—Ikonographic and Symbolic Writing. + The former is also known as Imitative, Representative, or Picture + Writing. The object to be held in memory is represented by its picture + drawn with such skill, or lack of skill, as the writer may possess. + In Symbolic Writing, a single characteristic part or trait serves to + represent the whole object; thus the track of an animal will stand + for the animal itself.... It will be observed that Thought Writing + has no reference to spoken language; neither the picture of a wolf + nor the representation of his footprint conveys the slightest notion + of the sound of the word <em>wolf</em>. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_70">70</span>How was the enormous leap made + from the thought to the sound—in other words, from an ideographic to + a phonetic method of writing? This question has received considerable + attention from scholars with reference to the development of the two + most important alphabets in the world, the Egyptian and the Chinese. + Both these began as simple picture writing, and both progressed to + almost complete phoneticism. In both cases, however, the earliest + steps are lost, and can be retraced only by indications remaining + after a high degree of phonetic power had been reached. On the other + hand, in the Mexican and probably in the Maya hieroglyphics, we find + a method of writing which is intermediate between the two great + classes I have mentioned, and which illustrates in a striking manner + the phases through which both the Egyptian and the Semitic alphabets + passed somewhat before the dawn of history. To this method, which + stands midway between the ikonographic and the alphabetic methods of + writing, I have given the name <i>ikonomatic</i>, derived from the + Greek εικων-ονος, an <span class="pagenum" id="Page_71">71</span>image, a figure; ονομα-ατος, a name.... It is + this plan on which those familiar puzzles are constructed which are + called rebuses and none other than this which served to bridge over the + wide gap between Thought and Sound Writing. It is, however, not correct + to say that it is a writing by <em>things</em>, rebus; but it is by the + <em>names</em> of things, and hence I have coined the work ikonomatic to + express this clearly.” The position of the signs often had important + significance, just as it has in some of our puzzles, like the following:</p> + + <div class="center"> + WOOD<br> + JOHN<br> + MASS</div> + + <p class="noindent">which is said to have been the address on a letter that + found its destination in John Underwood, Andover, Massachusetts. It + might be supposed that, having acquired a knowledge of the method + of the Aztec writing, the general principles of which, according to + Brinton, were known many years ago, we would now be able to translate + the Mexican documents with little difficulty. The trouble lies, + however, in the lack of exact knowledge of the Nahuatl language itself, + and till that is acquired small progress will be made. It will be + necessary to understand this language before its modern additions and + changes came in, in order to connect it with the picture-writing, or + rather the ikonomatic writing, of the fifteenth and previous centuries. + It has been doubted whether there is any phonetic element in either the + Aztec or the Maya hieroglyphics, but the evidence seems to indicate + that there is a phonetic element, notwithstanding that there has been a + following in many cases of rather slender threads of evidence.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp95" id="i_070"> + <img src="images/i_070.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>PAGE FROM AN AZTEC BOOK<br> + <p class="hang">Plate 67 of the Nahuan precolumbian Vatican Codex, No. 3773, Loubat + edition.

Bishop Landa says: “As they contained nothing + that did not savour of superstition and lies of the devil, we burnt + them all, at which the natives grieved most keenly and were greatly + pained.” The practice of the Mayas, it is said, was to bury the books + with the priest who had written them, in which case large numbers of + the writings must have been disposed of before the Spaniards took a + hand. Doubtless, however, only certain books were thus buried with the + authors, and perhaps copies <span class="pagenum" id="Page_74">74</span>of these may have been preserved.

Organised and exhaustive + exploration will yield fine results. “Such organised and exhaustive + exploration is the more to be desired,” says Goodman, “for the reason + that all the inscriptions so far brought to light are of a purely + chronological character, destitute of any real historical importance. + They are merely public calendars, as it were, showing that at specified + dates certain periods of their scheme would begin or end, or that a + correspondence would occur between two or more of their different + plans for computing time. Aside from the circumstance that the initial + date in most instances undoubtedly marks the time at which the temple, + stela, or altar to which it belongs was erected, I do not believe there + is the record of a single historical event in all the inscriptions at + present in our possession. That a people as cultured as they should + have had no historical records at all, would be a presumption too + absurd for credence, even without the testimony of the early Spanish + authorities to the contrary. The actual <span class="pagenum" id="Page_76">76</span>question is whether any of + them will ever be discovered. If they were inscribed upon paper or + parchment and buried with their priestly owners, as we are told, there + is very little hope that any vestige of them remains, unless there may + have been some instance of almost miraculous preservation. Still that + remote chance is worth a vast amount of research. But a better hope + ... is that in crypts or tombs or other unexplored receptacles may be + collected historical tablets of durable material—stone, stucco, baked + clay, or even metal—which patient excavation will yet unearth.” Chance + has played the chief part in the preservation of the few documents that + have come down to us. In the Bibliothèque National at Paris the Maya + one now known as the Codex Peresianus had been neglected amongst a lot + of old papers where De Rosny happened to discover it. It has generally + been assumed that because there was found one form of writing on the + monuments and a similar form in the few documents preserved there was + but the one method. This, however, does not necessarily follow.

Had they + been offered the slightest chance for the cultivation of their + intellects, they would have become a nation of readers and <span class="pagenum" id="Page_77">77</span>writers.” + Instead of having this chance they were crushed by the Spaniards and + never rose again. But the decline of the Mayas cannot be altogether + laid at the door of Spain. The remnant of the stock encountered by + the Spaniards was already on the down road and had been for a long + period.<a id="FNanchor_68" href="#Footnote_68" class="fnanchor">[68]</a> That the Mayas had long passed the zenith of their progress + is generally admitted, and we are not entirely sure that the people we + know as Mayas were the original stock or only a mixture of the original + and an inferior, wilder stock which mingled with them in the days of + their decline. When a stock declined or became extinct, other stocks + from contiguous territory or from farther off were likely to come in + and possess themselves of whatever they found that was valuable and + also become permanent residents of the country, just as the Navajos + took up their home in a land that was formerly the residence of a + different, house-building stock of whom the Navajos preserve, so far + as I am aware, barely a reminiscence. Berendt thus describes the + neighbourhood of Cintla: “Not a single tradition, not a single native + name survives to cast any light upon these ruins. The whole of this + coast was depopulated in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries owing + to the slave-hunting incursions of the filibusters and man-hunters. + The Indians who are now found in the neighbourhood have removed there + from the interior since the beginning of the present century, and are + absolutely ignorant of the origin or builders of this city.”</p> + + <p>Not until we are in possession of historical data from the Mayas + themselves, if that happy time ever arrives, can we be absolutely + certain as to the present descendants.</p> + + <p>“In Yucatan,” says Brinton, “the books of the Mayas consisted of a + kind of paper made by macerating and beating together leaves of maguey + and afterwards sizing the surface with a durable white varnish. The + sheet was folded like a screen, forming pages about nine by five + inches. Both sides were covered with figures and characters painted + in various brilliant colours. On the outer pages boards were fastened + for protection, so the completed volume had the appearance of a bound + book of large octavo size. Parchment was sometimes used instead of + paper. It was made of deerskin cured and smoked. Twenty-seven rolls + of such parchments covered with hieroglyphics were among the articles + burned by Bishop Landa at Mani in 1562.” “None of them, however,” + remarks<span class="pagenum" id="Page_78">78</span> Goodman of the Maya books that have been found, “can be of + much assistance in solving Maya historical problems, as they are all + merely text-books explaining the meaning of signs, the elementary + principles of their respective calendars and certain phases of lunar, + solar, and in a few places, bissextile and chronological reckoning. I + believe the figures usually supposed to represent deities to be only + personifications of different periods or phases of time, and that most + of the glyphs are merely numerals or symbols used for the occasion in + their numerative sense only.”</p> + + <p>It is plain, therefore, that much of the supposed interpretation of + the Maya inscriptions has had little solid foundation, has in fact + been little better than guesswork. There was one sanguine translator + who was discovered to have begun at the <em>wrong end</em> of the book! + The readings of the Maya inscriptions sometimes suggest that other + mysterious operation of certain brilliant scholars of our time, the + discovery and reading of the Shakespeare-Baconian cipher. The lack + of real understanding of the Maya subject is pretty well indicated + by the various estimates of the value of Landa’s legacy. One author, + Holden, states that it was a positive misfortune, while Goodman, after + following other lines for a time, returns to Landa as the only real + foundation for accurate study. There is even yet difference of opinion + as to the proper directions, left to right or up and down, etc., in + which the works are to be read when they are read. Apparently the first + sensible thing to be done is to gather together all that Landa wrote + and reduce it to a shape that will place it before the greatest number + of students, in connection with specimens of every kind of a mark or + picture that by any possibility might have alphabetic significance. A + striking peculiarity of the Maya remains is that there are not found + any preliminary or originating forms of the glyphs. “We are compelled + therefore to admit,” says Thomas, “that the origin of this writing is a + mystery we are unable to fully penetrate.”<a id="FNanchor_69" href="#Footnote_69" class="fnanchor">[69]</a> It may be that the forms + from which it was derived were recorded on skins, on wood, or on bark, + and in that case they probably disappeared before the beginning of the + Maya decline. “A difference, it is true,” says Thomas,<a id="FNanchor_70" href="#Footnote_70" class="fnanchor">[70]</a> “in the + forms and ornamentation, and, to a certain degree, an advance toward + a more perfect type, can be traced, but no examples, so far as the + writer is aware, of the first <span class="pagenum" id="Page_79">79</span>rude beginnings or the original forms + have been found. Some comparatively rude are found painted on pottery, + scratched on shells or other soft material, but these belong to what + may be termed demotic writing and are not primitive forms. Comparing + the characters of the various inscriptions which have been discovered + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_80">80</span>and those found in the few remaining pre-Columbian manuscripts, the + result is as follows: <em>First</em>, it is apparent that the characters + in the manuscripts have been adapted from those of the inscriptions. In + other words, inscriptions preceded the manuscripts; hence we must look + to the former for the older forms. What appear to the writer to be the + oldest forms of the glyphs yet discovered are seen in those of Palenque + and some of the inscriptions found by Charnay at Menche (Lorillard + City), though others discovered by him at this same place belong to + the later and more ornamental type, discovered in the Peten region, + that is those carved in wood discovered by Bernouilli at Tikal, a type + also found at Copan and Chichen Itza, but in none of the inscriptions + at Palenque.” For my part, I cannot see that Thomas has exactly proved + that the manuscripts were later than the stone-carved inscriptions, but + his knowledge of the subject is so great and his methods so cautious + that I am glad to give his statement in this connection.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp75" id="i_079"> + <img src="images/i_079.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption> FEMALE HEAD IN TRACHYTE<br> + From slope north of Temple 22—Copan.

They date from + 1595. The Maya books at present known are three, one in two parts, + with these titles: 1. <cite>Codex Tro</cite> or <i>Troano</i>, 70 pages, + found by the Abbé Brasseur at Madrid; 2. <cite>Codex Cortesianus</cite>,<a id="FNanchor_73" href="#Footnote_73" class="fnanchor">[73]</a> + so named because of a belief that it was brought to Europe by Cortes, + also at Madrid, and believed to be a part of the Troano; 3. <cite>Dresden + Codex</cite>, 74 pages, in the Royal Library, Dresden; 4. <cite>Codex + Peresianus</cite>, 22 pages, the one discovered in the Paris Bibliothèque + National by De Rosny, and given its title from the name “Perez,” + written on the outer wrapper. Besides these it has been supposed that + there are several in private hands. The Quiches, of Mayan stock, had a + sacred book called the <cite>Popol Vuh</cite>,<a id="FNanchor_74" href="#Footnote_74" class="fnanchor">[74]</a> and the allied Cakchiquels + had their <cite>Records of Tecpan <span class="pagenum" id="Page_83">83</span>Atitlan</cite>. Other tribes or stocks of + the Mexican region undoubtedly had books and records also, but in the + present state of knowledge nothing definite can be said about them. But + there was a general high development of all, or at least, the majority, + of the stocks occupying Mexico and Central America in the fifteenth + century and before, so that it is entirely reasonable to expect a + considerable corresponding development in the line of picture-writing, + hieroglyphs or alphabets. These, in some cases, will come to our + knowledge, just as the new hieroglyph attributed to the Zapotecs + recently rewarded the investigations of Saville.</p> + + <p>The numeral systems of these people were well developed, and they were + able to make exact calculations in astronomical, and in all other + matters. The Aztecs used dots from one to ten, or twenty, and then + symbols. The Mayas used dots only to four, and then dots and lines + to nineteen, beyond which little is known of their method. Like all + the rest of the Maya subject, there is in this line of investigation + considerable confusion and great uncertainty. The table herewith given + is a suggestion of a possible line of study. It seems to me to be the + <em>method</em> that was followed, though my arrangement or even the + figures are not correct. I introduce it here, before bestowing upon it + further study, because it may contain an idea that will start someone + else on a right track. It has been generally accepted that one dot • + is one, two dots • • two, and so on to four • • • •, after which five was + a straight line, <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_083-1.jpg" style="height: 0.6em;" alt="line">. Here arises a question. Did the dots + and lines mean the same when horizontal as when vertical? They occur + both ways in the inscriptions and in the manuscripts, and Goodman + takes them to be the same. Vertical and horizontal occur together + frequently, thus: <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_083-2.jpg" style="height: 3em;" alt="complex symbol"> + from Pl. 51, Dresden Codex. A doubt fills + my mind, however, on this point. It is possible that when vertical + the dots and lines had a different meaning. On this assumption, the + two, three, etc., horizontally placed would mean either one, two, + three, etc., or some higher figures, leaving the vertically placed + ones to take their place as one, two, three, etc. I assume that the + vertical ones were the beginning. The Maya system was a vigesimal one, + that is, a counting by twenties. Every new twenty, therefore, would + be represented by a new symbol. Referring to the table, it will be + seen that the dots and lines vertically placed and combined carry the + table easily to nineteen, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_84">84</span>that is, a dot beside the five line gives + six, two five lines give ten, three, fifteen, while the addition of + the dots carries the count quite naturally to the nineteen. It is now + necessary to adopt a sign for twenty, and there have been adopted + by various authors as many various signs, with several variants in + each lot. Once settle on a symbol for twenty, and the road is easy to + twenty-nine by placing the dots and lines horizontally. Thomas gives + this figure <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_084-1.jpg" style="height: 2.2em;" alt="symbol"> for twenty,<a id="FNanchor_75" href="#Footnote_75" class="fnanchor">[75]</a> but I do not believe it is + twenty, and for convenience will adopt this + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_084-2.jpg" style="height: 2.1em;" alt="symbol">. Then to get + twenty-one it would be simple for the Maya to put a little cross on + each side of the dot, that is above and below, + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_084-3.jpg" style="height: 2.1em;" alt="symbol">. This figure + is frequent, and it is varied sometimes by this + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_084-4.jpg" style="height: 2.1em;" alt="symbol">, and by + this <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_084-5.jpg" style="height: 2.1em;" alt="symbol">, which Brinton assumes all to be variants of twenty. I + take it they are variants of twenty-one and twenty-two, or of one and + two. Running down to twenty-nine by means of the dots and lines, we + arrive at the necessity for a new symbol for forty, and I take a common + symbol in the inscriptions, + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_084-6.jpg" style="height: 2.3em;" alt="symbol">. To follow precisely the method + indicated by progress thus far, we would put a dot inside of this for + forty-one, but the Maya does not seem to have done this, but made a + slight change, perhaps to avoid confusion, and he put the dot outside + and to the left, + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_084-7.jpg" style="height: 2.3em;" alt="symbol">. Four of these dots make forty-four, and + then forty-five is represented by a straight line vertically within. + Dots now outside as before carry to forty-nine, when a vertical line + replacing the dots gives fifty. Adding dots again as before leads to + fifty-four, while doubling the lines with the dots produces all figures + up to fifty-nine, <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_084-8.jpg" style="height: 2.3em;" alt="symbol">. Then once more a new character is needed + to go on, and one is chosen that is very common in the Dresden Codex, + occurring in a number of different forms. It is this + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_084-9.jpg" style="height: 1.6em;" alt="symbol"> in its + simple form. Thomas takes it in this form + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_084-10.jpg" style="height: 1.6em;" alt="symbol"> for naught, and + Försteman for the same numeral in this form + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_084-11.jpg" style="height: 1.6em;" alt="symbol">. The difference + between these two is immediately apparent, and it seems that both + these able investigators have made a mistake in this respect. It is + as if some <span class="pagenum" id="Page_85">85</span>future investigator should give as our naught the figure + 6 and the figure 9. The simple form is possibly one of the chief Maya + numerals and the enclosed lines give it the necessary differentiation. + Some change occurs again here, in the system I have attempted to + outline. There are used lines instead of dots, though dots also were + used, and the horizontal line does not appear to have been doubled; + at least I have been unable to find an example of it, though, as + the number of manuscripts is limited, I could hardly expect to find + examples of all the figures in them. The carved inscriptions being, as + is believed, older than the manuscripts, there would be a difference + between the numerals in them and in the books. But we will take the + simple character + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_085-1.jpg" style="height: 1.6em;" alt="symbol"> for, say, sixty. It may be mentioned again + that these selections and their order are merely tentative. Only by + long study might the matter be determined. Adding lines transversely + as found in the Dresden Codex, we arrive easily at sixty-four. + Following the previous system, a horizontal line with an upward + curve then gives <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_085-2.jpg" style="height: 1.6em;" alt="symbol"> sixty-five, and transverse lines again + take us to sixty-nine. A horizontal line with a down curve produces + seventy <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_085-3.jpg" style="height: 1.6em;" alt="symbol">. Seventy-four would then be + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_085-4.jpg" style="height: 1.6em;" alt="symbol">, and as the + horizontal line seems not to have been doubled we are forced to choose + another character for seventy-five + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_085-5.jpg" style="height: 1.6em;" alt="symbol">. A down curved horizontal + line then gives seventy-six + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_085-6.jpg" style="height: 1.6em;" alt="symbol">, while for seventy-seven an + entirely new form is used. The reversal of seventy-five and seventy-six + carries to seventy-nine. The cross lines in some cases appear to have + been used up to sixty-seven. There are so many different figures of + this kind that it is possible they were used interchangeably in some + cases. For eighty a new figure is required, and I have selected one + that occurs frequently in the Dresden book, in shape something like a + bow, <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_085-7.jpg" style="height: 2.6em;" alt="symbol">. A series of dots readily carries to eighty-four, and + then the substitution of a line like a bow-string gives eighty-five + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_085-8.jpg" style="height: 2.6em;" alt="symbol">. The next step at ninety would be to double this bow-string, + but this seems not to have been done, as I can find no example of it. + But I do find a differentiation in another way, probably because in + this figure doubling the string would be clumsy. The difference is made + by a rider on the string, and there <span class="pagenum" id="Page_87">87</span>are two kinds of rider, one a + point or triangle, and the other a double square. Taking one of these + riders for ninety, and then the dots beside it, we find ourselves at + ninety-four <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_087-1.jpg" style="height: 2.6em;" alt="symbol">. Then with the other rider on the string for + ninety-five we arrive by means of the dots at ninety-nine + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_087-2.jpg" style="height: 2.6em;" alt="symbol">. + Then comes a demand for a character for one hundred, and this appears + to have been merely a circle. A dot beside it would give 101, and so on + by adding, out or in, the various symbols 199 is reached. To get to 299 + it is only necessary to add another circle. For 500 some other symbol + must be adopted, and the apparent one is a sort of circle with a kind + of scarf knot at the top, or perhaps it can be described as a knotted + scarf, <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_087-3.jpg" style="height: 2.8em;" alt="symbol">. Taking this as 500 we can easily arrive + <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_087-4.jpg" style="height: 2.8em;" alt="symbol"> + at 599. An extra circle within will then carry to <img class="iglyph" src="images/i_087-5.jpg" style="height: 2.8em;" alt="symbol"> 699, and + so on by adding circles up to 1000. Thomas in one of his admirable + discussions of Maya writing<a id="FNanchor_76" href="#Footnote_76" class="fnanchor">[76]</a> is puzzled by what he terms ornamental + loops around some of the numerals, but if the line I have indicated + here has any sense in it these ornamental loops would be 602, 604, + etc., or some other numbers depending on the proper place for this + symbol in the general scheme. The series of “loops” mentioned by Thomas + is this:</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp85" id="i_087"> + <img src="images/i_087-6.jpg" alt=""> + </figure> + + <p>Something might be determined by a comparison of these symbols with the + known names of numbers.

Basketry and pottery are mother and daughter. Plaiting + together straws or rushes was a simple operation and must have occurred + to the most primitive tribes spontaneously as the need for some such + thing arose.

The environment and habits of a tribe controlled the amount, + the quality, the character, of both basketry and pottery. A tribe + possessing plenty of good clay would make more and better pottery than + one finding clay difficult to acquire, provided both had reached the + same degree of proficiency in this art, but mere abundance of good + clay would not necessarily make skilful potters; that is, the degree + of progress in culture of a tribe and other factors of environment + than the presence or absence of good clay in quantity had much to do + with pottery-making. For example, the Pueblos and the Navajos occupy + the same kind of a region, or rather the same region, with plenty of + clay and a similar abundance of yucca, willows, etc., for basketry, + yet the Pueblos carried pottery-making to a high degree of excellence, + while the Navajos produced only a limited amount of inferior ware. Nor + is this a matter of intelligence, for the Navajos are as intelligent + as any Amerinds living, and besides, as has been mentioned, probably + have a strong infusion of Pueblo blood. While the Navajos have gone + farther in silver- and iron-smithing, they have lagged behind in + pottery and house-building. So it is also with basketry. While the + Pueblos no longer make boiling-baskets or jugs, or at least, if they + do occasionally make them, they do not use them for cooking purposes, + yet they produce some fine trays <span class="pagenum" id="Page_92">92</span>and bowls.<a id="FNanchor_78" href="#Footnote_78" class="fnanchor">[78]</a> Inclination and fancy, + as well as necessity, have much to do with the development of the + arts.

Great in war and government the Iroquois certainly were, but + they had not reached the border line of artistic development. Neither + weavers, potters, nor builders were they (though Bandelier maintains + that their long-house was as difficult of construction as any house + the Pueblos build), and, outside of the idea of the league, their + government was not much superior to that of the Pueblos. Their pottery, + limited in quantity, was very inferior to that of many other Amerinds. + It is probable that following the line of race development they would + eventually have produced excellent ware, but the iron pot made its + appearance and progress in pottery was doomed.

Nor is the North land entirely favourable to basketry, yet + the Aleut basket-work is exceedingly fine in texture, some of their + productions being almost a cloth. This is specially true of baskets + made on the island of Attu of the Aleutian chain. These are usually + cylindrical, sometimes fitted with a cover of the same material. So + soft and pliable are they that they can barely sustain an upright + position. This fine texture is a characteristic of all the basketry of + the North-west coast, but there is not much variety in form and the + artistic shapes so common with the Amerinds southward of the Columbia + are absent. The decorations are similar to those of other Amerinds and + are woven in with quills, grasses, feathers, bits of silk, or worsteds, + appropriately coloured. In the interior of the Northern lands, the + Kniks and others make a substitute for baskets out of thin boards + steamed and bent around a flat bottom piece which fits into a groove + in the board. It is fastened in place with split roots or skin thongs. + Among the Eskimo sealskin cups and buckets are used, and some made of + whalebone, but they also make a basket out of coiled grasses, which is + artistic and has a variety of interesting forms. East of Point Barrow + baskets are rare. Birchbark vessels of various kinds were used by many + tribes as substitutes for baskets, and doubtless some forms in pottery + were derived from these vessels as well as from baskets. Some tribes + made pottery and then, as circumstances changed, they abandoned its use + and finally forgot how to make it. Dorsey states that “pottery has not + been made by the Omaha for more than fifty years.

Like the other remains + of the Amerinds, their pottery was not considered of much importance + by archæologists, and while American money and talent were being + bestowed upon the well-worked European field, our Amerind pottery was + abandoned to the curiosity hunter. The artistic qualities of the Old + World pottery fascinated the student, and this, together with a natural + deep interest in peoples closely associated with our own past, served + to obscure the real value of an investigation of the Amerind field + for the information that might be disclosed concerning the character + and distribution of Amerind tribes, for its bearing on the history + of the ceramic art in general, as well as for its story of primitive + effort and invention. Pottery is said to have been invented 2698 years + <span class="allsmcap">B.C.</span> by the Chinese emperor Hoang-ti, but of course it was + made by some tribes long before this. Like every other art, it existed + among some tribes, while other tribes had no knowledge of it. There was + never a time, and there never will be a time, when all people possess + an equal degree of information or skill, so that when something has + been invented or discovered by one tribe or people it may have been in + use for a long period by another. At the beginning of the Columbian + era, most of the Amerinds knew how to make some kind of earthenware. + Various methods were used in various places to produce the pottery. + Some was modelled in baskets or on basket forms, right side up or up + side down as happened to be necessary, some was modelled in a hole in + the ground, or in the lap, and still other groups were produced by + coiling round <span class="pagenum" id="Page_99">99</span>and round slender ropes of clay, which were afterwards + smoothed off or not as suited the knowledge or desire of the potter. + The progression in a general way was probably about this: 1. Made on + the inside of a wicker form—confined chiefly to bowls; 2. Made on a + netting in a mould hole; 3. Coil-made; 4. Free-hand modelling; 5. + Wheel-made, which Amerinds appear never to have attained. There was + doubtless no sharp line of separation between these various processes, + but they merged into each other. The coil process was about the highest + development of the Amerind potter’s skill, and it was in use all over + the continent. As Holmes points out in his admirable paper,<a id="FNanchor_81" href="#Footnote_81" class="fnanchor">[81]</a> the + Pueblos are the only people who used the coil as a means of decoration + as well as construction, so far as now known. All the other potters + smoothed the coils off so that no trace eventually was left of them, + and this is the practice of the modern Moki potters. They work by no + special rule. According to my own observation, the making of pottery + is a desultory occupation and is done by the women. Sometimes I saw a + woman toiling alone with her ropes of clay, out-of-doors, and again + several women would form a gay, laughing party in the sunlight. When + the work is dry the painting and decorating are done by means of a + little, long, string-like brush made of yucca fibre. This brush is like + a piece of coarse twine, about three inches long, without a handle, + very limber, and apparently entirely inadequate, yet they easily + accomplished all they desired to do with it. In order to turn the work + while in process of manufacture, and not injure it or destroy its + shape, it is generally built upon a wicker tray. In this way it can be + readily swung round and round, as the potter pays out the clay rope and + adjusts it in place. This is the nearest approach to the potter’s wheel + that seems ever to have been known on the American continent. While + many shapes are based on some form in basketry, or wood, or horn, or + shell, or bark, a great many are pure inventions, the result of fancy + or inclination.</p> + + <p>In preparing the clay, sand or pulverised potsherds were mixed with it + to temper it and prevent cracking.

The Amerinds were no + exception, and all their pottery is soft unglazed ware.<a id="FNanchor_82" href="#Footnote_82" class="fnanchor">[82]</a> The reason + for this lies in the fact that the making of hard pottery requires not + only an extensive knowledge of the properties of clay, but, what is + more, a temperature for firing of about 4000° Fahrenheit,—a temperature + which can be obtained only in a furnace or retort, of which Amerinds + were apparently ignorant, their pottery being burned, in historic and + prehistoric times, in the open air. The common modern method among the + Pueblos is to burn with sheep dung, but they are said to have used in + ancient times deadwood, common wood, and coal. The method was usually + the same in all cases; the ware was piled up and then covered with the + fuel in such a manner that there would be as little as possible direct + contact. They also sometimes baked the ware in hot ashes with a fire + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_101">101</span>above, and sometimes they dug a pit which they lined with the fuel. + A rich shiny black ware was obtained in some localities by allowing + the ware to come in contact with the fuel and, at a certain period + in the burning, smothering the fire. This produced an apparent glaze + as well, an effect obtained also by rubbing and polishing before the + firing. But there is no true glazing in any Amerind ware, at least + not north of Mexico. Even had they known the process they would have + been baffled in attempting to put it in practice, for glazing requires + a temperature of at least 1300° Fahrenheit, and they apparently had + no means of securing it.<a id="FNanchor_83" href="#Footnote_83" class="fnanchor">[83]</a> All of their ware can be scratched with + a knife, which is a test of soft ware, and while some of it seems to + have lustre, it is the lustre of polish, not of glaze. Some ware, + however, recently found in the Central-American region appears to have + a true glaze. Some tribes make a variety of kinds of ware, while others + confine themselves to some special kind, and still others, as mentioned + in the case of Taos, buy all they use and make none. The Pueblos + to-day are extensive potters, especially the Zuñis and the Mokis, and + produce large quantities of varied ware, which, while similar in many + respects to that of the ancients of the region, is not so fine nor so + well formed. At the Chaco ruins Pepper found a number of tube-shaped + vases, about four inches diameter and a foot high, with four small + perforated handles. In the course of time enormous quantities must have + been made in the South-west, for the ground is everywhere strewn with + fragments of it. This would indicate either a dense population or a + very long occupation by a comparatively sparse one, and thus far the + evidence is in favour of the latter hypothesis. In such a dry climate + as exists in the South-west, even soft pottery is almost indestructible + when not exposed to river or ice action. In such cases it would soon + be destroyed. Though the Colorado River runs through the length of the + ancient Pueblo country, and receives many branches whose valleys, like + its own, reveal myriads of fragments, I never found a specimen in the + river gravels.

That there are some marked differences between some + of the so-called Moundbuilder ware and some other Amerind pottery + is freely admitted, but why this should indicate that there was any + mystery about the former is not intelligible, for there are many + differences in the products of existing tribes and stocks.<a id="FNanchor_84" href="#Footnote_84" class="fnanchor">[84]</a> As has + been mentioned, the Pueblos are <span class="pagenum" id="Page_104">104</span>extremely good potters, while their + neighbours the Navajos practically are no potters at all. Had the + Pueblos become extinct before the appearance of the European, what a + fine chance this would have been to speculate on who these mysterious + and departed people were who built superior houses of stone and made + splendid pottery! Oh no, they could never have been common “Indians,” + they must have been a migration from China, or Japan! Unfortunately for + writers of the romantic school, the Pueblo is still there, and he is an + ordinary Amerind, in some ways hardly as intelligent as his neighbour + who makes no pottery and builds no houses. There is no reason, then, + for assuming that there was anything extraordinary about any of the + former occupants of the Mississippi valley. They were, at least some of + them were, skilful potters, and some had sense enough to dig out copper + and hammer it into shapes; but what is there in this that should lead + us to exalt them above other Amerinds? Progress in the arts may vary + among associated stocks, and also among different branches of the same + stock. In the Mississippi-valley pottery there was a tendency toward + upright bottle-shaped vessels with long necks, while the tendency of + the Pueblo ware is in the direction of the bowl. There are also long + tray-like vessels in the Mississippi valley, which do not occur at all + amongst the Pueblo ware, and there are more animal shapes, birds, etc. + A series of the Mississippi-valley forms suggests a knowledge of the + wheel, but it is not likely that they had it, though it is possible. + Anyone who has watched the progress of a common jug turning on one + of our potter’s wheels, must be struck by the series of fine shapes + the lump of clay passes through before assuming its last form. Such + a progression appears in the Mississippi valley ware, but these jars + were all probably made by the “coil” process, which was still in use in + the Mississippi valley after the advent of our people. Holmes states + positively: “The wheel or lathe has not been used.”<a id="FNanchor_85" href="#Footnote_85" class="fnanchor">[85]</a> The pottery + of Chiriqui, a province near Panama, is remarkable for perfection of + finish and execution and a similar suggestion of mechanical aids. In + this case Holmes says: “Notwithstanding the fact that only primitive + methods were known, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_105">105</span>The high-necked Moundbuilder bottle is rarely + found in other parts of the United States, but it occurs in Mexico and + in South America.

As I pointed out elsewhere,<a id="FNanchor_87" href="#Footnote_87" class="fnanchor">[87]</a> these + head-shaped vases are death-masks.<a id="FNanchor_88" href="#Footnote_88" class="fnanchor">[88]</a> It does not require a second + look at the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_107">107</span>illustration below to see that the features are those of + death reproduced in a manner that no aboriginal potter could possibly + accomplish by free-hand method. “Here we look on a face perfect in its + proportions, accurately modelled, and, above all, depicting death with + a master-hand; yes, more, presenting to the spectator death itself as + it seized this personage in the long-forgotten past.

Wicker-work would not last long in that climate; + but there must have been baskets and plaited implements of various + kinds, because people do not make pottery without passing through the + basketry stage. The Amerinds of that region also made good baskets when + first met with, and we know that they did some fairly good weaving both + in ancient and modern times. Some of the ancient fabrics have been + preserved in the mounds by contact with copper, by being charred, and + in other ways, and the ingenuity of Holmes has given us fac-similes of + some of the old netting.<a id="FNanchor_89" href="#Footnote_89" class="fnanchor">[89]</a> He noticed curious markings on certain + fragments of pottery, and took clay casts of them, thus producing + positive from negative, and revealing the fact that the peculiar + markings were the impressions of fabrics. He believes these fabrics + were impressed on the ware for purposes of ornament, and while this may + in some instances have been the reason, in my opinion, the chief object + of the netting that made the impression was to lift the freshly made + jar out of a hole or a wicker form where it had been modelled. Very + early pottery was doubtless built on or in wicker-work—that is, early + in the practice of any particular tribe. This was specially the case + with the Amerinds of the Atlantic coast, as is plainly indicated in the + casts made by Holmes from fragments of pottery from that region. “The + earlier potters probably used baskets that came up to the curved-in + part of the jar, which was continued above the basket by deft handling, + or, if a basket of the same form was followed, the basket was destroyed + in the firing process. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_109">109</span>This would seem to the modern mind a great + waste of time and material, but it must be remembered that the Indian + potter had not learned modern haste, and besides could turn up a coarse + basket in a very short time. Therefore it does not seem improbable that + he may, in the early stages, have modelled his jar on the <em>inside</em> + of a basket frame of similar form and then allowed the basket to be + consumed in the baking process when it could not be separated from the + vessel. Even when he developed to a point beyond and modelled the upper + portions with a free hand, he would find great trouble in separating + his jar from its framework. What, therefore, would be the following + step? It seems to me it would have been the placing between the clay + and the mould of a piece of netting, which would permit him to lift + out his jar easily and intact, and transport it to the drying place. + He would then speedily discover that his basket was not necessary—was + not so serviceable, in fact, as a hole in the ground, for the sides of + the hole could be plastered with a layer of very sandy clay, and thus + would all sticking of the vessel to its mould be avoided. The netting, + or fabric, having been spread as evenly as possible over the inside + surface of the mould hole, the upper edges were allowed to lie out upon + the ground. The soft clay being now pressed evenly upon the fabric to + the required thickness, the sandy surface of the mould hole easily gave + it shape, and gave the potter no anxiety about the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_110">110</span>outside surface. + Indeed, he had but one surface to watch till he came to the in-curve, + if his vessel was to have a narrow mouth. Then, I surmise, he built + up roughly a clay mould, well sanded, pressing what was left of his + fabric into the inside of this mould as he built his vessel upward. + Frequently, doubtless, the fabric was not sufficient to go to the + top, which explains why sometimes only a part of a jar shows the cord + markings.... The distorting and overlapping of the meshes observed by + Holmes were probably due to the gathering in to fit the interior of the + mould, for it must be borne in mind that the fabric was not shaped in + any way to fit the mould, but was doubtless a fragment of some squarely + woven article. Thus gathering and overlapping were necessary to make it + conform to the inside surface of the mould....”</p> + + <p>“When coarse basketry was used for a mould that was intended to + be removed before firing, the interstices of the basket work were + probably rubbed full of a mixture of sand and clay to prevent the + finished vessel from sticking or catching, which explains, I think, + the peculiarity of design in some cases, for only the more prominent + features of the basket work would impress the vessel.... In some kinds + of basketry more filling was necessary than in others, which explains + the frequent greater separation and irregularity of the markings.”<a id="FNanchor_90" href="#Footnote_90" class="fnanchor">[90]</a></p> + + <p>It seems, then, that the pottery of the Atlantic region was very rude + and was modelled chiefly on wicker moulds, and was not abundant<a id="FNanchor_91" href="#Footnote_91" class="fnanchor">[91]</a>; + that the lower Mississippi valley and the South-west were the + regions within the United States where pottery attained its highest + development; that as one proceeds northward pottery diminishes in + quantity and in quality till it disappears; and that in a southerly + direction it increases in abundance and in excellence of manufacture + and artistic design. The pottery area is fan-shaped, with Central + America for a handle. This would all appear to indicate that the + pottery wave rolled up from the Far South, and that the Moundbuilders + and the Pueblos acquired their art from that direction, or brought + it north as they came on the retreat of the cold. Attempts have been + made to connect the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_111">111</span>Pueblos with the Moundbuilders, and both with the + Aztecs, but there is no good evidence now known which substantiates + any such claim. Even if they did come from the South, it does not + make a mystery nor does it necessarily prove any direct relationship + between these branches of the Amerind race.

The principal terra-cotta figure + he found is thus described by Saville<a id="FNanchor_93" href="#Footnote_93" class="fnanchor">[93]</a>: “Another trench was started + at the eastern side of this mound, and after working down to the level + of the surrounding fields near the centre of the mound just back of the + tomb, there were found the scattered fragments of what will be, when + restored, the largest specimen of terra cotta ever found in America, + and I do not know of so large a specimen ever having been found + elsewhere. It represented a warrior, and the different pieces of the + figure were scattered over a space of about fifteen feet. The central + fragment was the head, upper torso, and right arm, lying face upward; + the open mouth revealed the teeth painted white and filed, as in the + case of the funeral urns. The eyes were well modelled and painted white + and red; the head was covered with a turban of feathers, somewhat + resembling the head-dress of Chac Mol, found by Dr. Le Plongeon in + Yucatan. A closely cropped beard covered the lower portion of the face, + the upper part being pitted as though marked by smallpox. The ears had + curious circular ornaments pendent by a string passed through holes + pierced in the lobes. The nose was ornamented with a long cylindrical + bead attached by a string fastened at the top and bottom through + the septum. The breast was painted red and white and additionally + ornamented with curious designs made by circular indentations. The + legs, which lay quite separated from the body, were bare, and the feet + were covered with sandals having beautiful heel-pieces. Around each + ankle was a line of bells. Both the toe- and the finger-nails were + painted white; the right arm, bent at an angle, grasped a pole or staff + of which about a foot remained. These fragments are now in the Museo + Nacional, City of Mexico. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_114">114</span>The entire length of the figure, according + to measurements made of the detached pieces, was nearly, if not quite, + six feet.”</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp75" id="i_113"> + <img src="images/i_113.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>AN ANCIENT FIGURE OF TERRA COTTA FROM THE VALLEY OF MEXICO<br> + The height of this figure is 150.9 cm.

The walls are thin and it must have taken + much labour to build the figure and successfully file it. It is in + three parts. There are also in the Museum several of the funeral urns + found in this locality. They are about fifteen or twenty inches high + and skilfully made. These urns were found “in series of five in front + of tombs, on the roof, or fastened into the façade.” They are usually + of grotesque design like most of the Amerind figures, and evidently + represent personages arrayed in the regalia of certain orders or + societies, or possibly the same personage in his various offices, or + attended by representations of other officers of some society to which + he belonged. Saville says of one group: “Resting directly on the cement + floor at the centre of the mound were five large funeral urns, page + 115, representing seated figures, placed in a row facing west. The + urn in the centre has a remarkably well-modelled face, undoubtedly a + portrait of some <span class="pagenum" id="Page_116">116</span>ancient Zapotecan personage. The two on either side + are of the same general size and character, with the exception of the + face, which is covered with a mask in the form of a grotesque face, + possibly the conventionalised serpent, as the bifurcated tongue is + one of the most prominent characteristics.”<a id="FNanchor_94" href="#Footnote_94" class="fnanchor">[94]</a> These are some of the + most important terra-cotta productions ever found on this continent. + Some terra-cotta tubing also found at this place is unique. Saville + says: “No such terra-cotta tubing has ever been discovered elsewhere + in Mexico, and a new problem is therefore presented.” One end of this + tubing was three feet below the surface <span class="pagenum" id="Page_118">118</span>in a field, while the other + was in the mound excavated. “It was laid in short sections, of varying + length, one end being smaller than the other, the small end of one + tube being fitted into the large end of the next, <a href="#i_117">page 117</a>. Several + of the joints still preserved the cement with which they were made + tight. The exploration did not reveal the use of the pipe.” The fact, + however, that the tubes were so carefully fitted into each other with, + apparently, the joinings all on the down slope, that is, connected + in such a way that water would flow continuously without waste, and + that the joints were made tight with cement, is good evidence that + these <span class="pagenum" id="Page_119">119</span>pipes were laid for conducting water. It seems probable that + this tubing was a part of some water-supply or irrigating scheme, + which had been abandoned before the mound covering a part of it was + constructed. As the valley where these interesting finds were made, as + well as neighbouring valleys, contain many more mounds, it is probable + that the future exploration of them will produce much more material + of value. If the terra-cotta tubing had a mythological significance + it will be found in other mounds, and if it belonged to an irrigating + scheme, or water-works, it will be explained by other finds. Effigy + jars were not confined to Mexico, for they are found in various parts + of the United States, especially in Tennessee, but they are nowhere + anything like those described from the Zapotec country. The Tennessee + specimens artistically and mechanically are exceedingly crude, as are + all attempts to delineate the human figure by the northerly Amerinds. + Some of the most elaborate and at the same time artistic forms in + Amerind pottery are found in Chiriqui,<a id="FNanchor_95" href="#Footnote_95" class="fnanchor">[95]</a> a province just below + Costa Rica. The old occupants of this region seem to have excelled in + metal-working, stone-carving, and pottery, and probably in other arts + the products of which are of a more destructible nature. As the line of + demarkation between the North- and South-American cultures runs along + the southern side of Nicaragua, practically on the line of the proposed + Nicaragua Canal, the consideration of the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_120">120</span>Chiriqui products should + belong perhaps with the South-American division, but being above the + isthmus, they may be mentioned here for the sake of comparison. “The + casual observer,” says Holmes, “would at once arrive at the conclusion + that the wheel or moulds had been used, but it is impossible to detect + the use of any such appliances.” And further: “On the exposed surfaces + of certain groups of ware the polish is in many cases so perfect that + casual observers and inexperienced persons take it for a glaze.”<a id="FNanchor_96" href="#Footnote_96" class="fnanchor">[96]</a> + There was extraordinary variety in this ware.

Apparently the first decorations + were the unavoidable result of methods of manufacture, whether moulded + or coil-made. In the first instance the meshes of the wicker mould, + or such part of them as could not easily be covered up with a sandy + paste to prevent adhesion, impressed themselves upon the soft clay; + or the fabric that was employed to remove the work from a mould made + impressions upon the ware. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_121">121</span>If coil-made, the pinching of the clay rope + into position left marks of the finger-tips and the finger-nails with + a regularity that doubtless came to be admired and then modified to + conform to fancy, and finally finger markings and other markings and + indentations grew, especially in our South-west, into a regular system + of decoration. The irregularity due to pinching the rope in place is + less with the expert than it was with the primitive potters, and it + is now smoothed off entirely with a “rib,” the left hand being placed + opposite the pressure applied with the right.<a id="FNanchor_97" href="#Footnote_97" class="fnanchor">[97]</a> In the earlier forms + the fingers of the right hand held stiffly downward seem to have been + used to even up the irregularity of the coils to some extent, as may be + discerned in figure <a href="#Page_116">page 116</a>, where there are diagonal grooves across + the lines of the coil, evidently made, the left hand being inside the + jar, by drawing the fingers of the right, or rather the forefinger + braced against the others, diagonally upward upon the outer surface. + The operation would be almost identical with the modern practice except + that the fingers were used instead of a “rib.” Indentations were also + made with a sharp instrument <span class="pagenum" id="Page_122">122</span>in a pattern, and another method seems + to have been to smooth off all the pinch marks, except in certain + areas that when left would form a pattern. Thus in the latter case the + pattern was produced by a system of obliteration. In figure on page + 118, a vase from the Moki country, of the ancient Pueblo manufacture, + shows this method of making a pattern by smoothing down pinch marks. + To do this the pinch marks would intentionally be made with some + regularity.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp80" id="i_121"> + <img src="images/i_121.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>ENGRAVED WARE, ARKANSAS. ¾</figcaption> + </figure> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp45" id="i_122"> + <img src="images/i_122.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>BLACK CUP, CHIRIQUI. ½</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Another method of ornamentation was that of scratching or engraving + the ware after it had been fired.

The method that was most employed by the + ancient Amerinds, and is used by those of to-day, as well as by most + potters the world round, is colour. A slip or wash of fine clay was + given to the ware, and polished and decorated in colours before firing. + In this way many beautiful results were obtained in all the regions of + North America. Almost every colour was used, but white, black, red, + and yellow are most common. These pigments were laid on in a single + wash, or were applied in more or less elaborate patterns.

The first clothing, a necessity of + climate, was made of skins of animals where they could be obtained, and + where they could not primitive man walked in a state of nature. His + desire for clothing was one purely of comfort; modesty, as we define + it, was unknown. Modesty, so far as it relates to concealment of the + body, is the child of climate and fashion. A Breton peasant girl does + not mind if her legs are seen, but she is shocked if caught with her + hair down or without her cap; one of our own ladies thinks nothing of + exhibiting her bare shoulders and bosom at the opera under gaslight, + but she would not do it in daylight. On the beach it would also be + improper, but there she is not troubled if her lower extremities are + seen. In some of the milder climates to-day clothing is scanty, while + with the Eskimo in the Far North it is composed of warm furs. Cold was + responsible for the first clothing, and is to-day responsible for a + good deal of it. The idea of utilising feathers and broad leaves as + well as skins would soon occur to a people, especially if they found it + difficult to secure the skins, and with these some kind of a string was + necessary to hold them together, and if no sinew or thong was at hand + the want would be supplied by twisted <span class="pagenum" id="Page_124">124</span>grass or bark, and this twisted + grass or bark then came itself to be combined in the form of mats for + sleeping on or covering sticks to produce a shelter. This was plaiting, + and it is the first step to basketry and weaving. Many of the simpler + arts are native in the brain of man, and the expression of them at the + proper time is as easy and natural as it is for a birdling to fly, a + kitten to catch a mouse, or a baby to walk for the first time. It is, + like sight, or thought, or articulate speech, a direct and unconscious + result of the innate composition of mankind. It is impossible to tell + why a spider builds a web of even proportions instead of one that + is irregular, or when it acquired the skill to perform its feat of + engineering, or why it builds a web at all, and does not, like a cat + and some species of spiders, rely on springing upon its prey. The + spider does this the world round because it is a spider, and because + its prey also has, the world round, its own habits. So with man. + Everywhere he learned to plait mats, make wicker-work and pottery, and + a thousand other things simply because he was everywhere <em>the same + man</em>. If you examine articles of primitive manufacture from various + parts of the globe, you will find them all practically alike, because + the men who made them were practically alike and their wants and + surroundings were practically alike. They plaited together strips of + bark or twisted grasses, or rushes, because they had to have them, and + they went on finding out the properties of the materials that compose + the world just as they are doing to-day, till they made cloth and made + it on a machine. Primitive fabrics were everywhere about the same, + and when the loom was invented it was and is, where still used in its + primitive form, very much the same. That in use to-day by the Navajos + is much like that used by the Orientals. The Navajos are probably not + the inventors of it, but borrowed the idea from the Pueblos, or at + least derived it through a mixture of Pueblo blood. Their cousins, the + Apaches, do not weave, and they are probably better representatives of + the original Athapascan stock than the Navajos.</p> + + <p>The Mexican loom was similar to that of the Navajos, and it is probable + that some of the tribes of the Mississippi valley were acquainted with + one built on a like pattern. The product of these primitive looms was + also much alike in its character; some of the Oriental rugs that we see + now strongly resemble the blankets of the Mexicans or Navajos.</p> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_125">125</span></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp60" id="i_125"> + <img src="images/i_125.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>MENOMINEE BEADED GARTERS</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_126">126</span></p> + + <p>This is because weaving is a simple art; and until the invention of the + Jacquard principle complex patterns were produced only by great labour, + as all the different colours had to be adjusted by hand, which is still + the case in many fine products like the Turkish rugs or the shawls of + Cashmere.</p> + + <p>The primitive products of the loom were square in shape, and when used + as garments they were not cut to a pattern or altered, but were worn + as they came from the loom. To make a dress, it was only necessary to + fasten two of these mats or blankets together, just as the Moki women + do now. This combination was then slipped over the head, with one + corner on the right shoulder and one under the left, and a belt around + the waist. This was the costume complete. There was no fitting the + fabric to the body.</p> + + <p>Thread, cord, twine, and rope were made by the Menominees chiefly + out of the “inner bark of the young sprouts of basswood. The bark is + removed in sheets and boiled in water to which a large quantity of lye + from wood ashes has been added. This softens the fibre and permits + the worker to manipulate it without breaking. The shoulder-blade of + a deer or other large animal is then nailed or otherwise fastened + to an upright post, and through it a hole about an inch in diameter + is drilled; through this hole bunches of the boiled bark are pulled + backward and forward, from right to left, to remove from it all + splinters or other hard fragments. After the fibre has become soft and + pliable, bunches of it are hung up in hanks, to be twisted as desired. + The manner of making cord or twine, such as is used in weaving mats and + for almost all household purposes, is by holding in the left hand the + fibre as it is pulled from the hank, and separating it into two parts, + which are laid across the thigh. The palm of the right hand is then + rolled forward over both so as to tightly twist the pair of strands, + when they are permitted to unite and twist into a cord. The twisted + end being pushed a little to the right, the next continuous portions + of the united strands also are twisted to form a single cord. The same + process is followed in all fibre-twisting, even to the finest nettle + thread.”<a id="FNanchor_99" href="#Footnote_99" class="fnanchor">[99]</a> In the matter of thread some fine results were obtained + by various Amerinds. Holmes says: “The finest threads with which I + am acquainted are perhaps not as fine as our number ten ordinary + spool-cotton thread, but we are not justified <span class="pagenum" id="Page_128">128</span>in assuming that more + refined work was not done.”<a id="FNanchor_100" href="#Footnote_100" class="fnanchor">[100]</a> Sage-brush, yucca, and other plants + were used for making thread and cord.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_127"> + <img src="images/i_127.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>NAVAJO WOMAN AT THE LOOM</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>In order to weave, it is first necessary to reduce your fibre, or + wool, or cotton, to more or less even threads or yarn. The Amerind + way of doing this was the same, practically, wherever spinning and + weaving were attempted, from Central America northward. The spindle is + a round, slender, pointed stick, a foot to about fifteen inches long, + put through a disc, generally of flat, hard wood, four to six inches in + diameter, which acts as a flywheel to keep up the momentum. It is the + simplest form of top. The operator holds the wool or cotton, previously + prepared, in his or her lap, and attaching one end of it to the top + arm of the spindle, above the disc, gives the spindle a twirl, either + by the thumb and forefinger or by a dexterous sweep of the palm of the + hand along the thigh. The fibre, or wool, that was attached to the arm + of it winds round till it reaches the tip, where it clings and takes + on the rotary motion of the stick to which it is fast, being twisted + thereby into yarn. It continues to spin with the spindle for some + seconds, about fifteen or twenty, and when the momentum slackens below + the necessary speed, the yarn thus far made is wound on the spindle + and it is started afresh, with more wool paid out to the twisting. The + operation is repeated over and over till the spindle is full, and it + is surprising to see how rapidly it can be done. I have only seen this + performed amongst the Moki, but the descriptions from other places + show it to be done in about the same way everywhere. In the Mexican + region the spindle-discs were made of pottery. In Nicaragua both wood + and terra cotta were employed, and it is likely that wood was also + used by some part of the people in Mexico and other places where the + terra-cotta discs are now found.</p> + + <p>Weaving was not confined to the Pueblo and Mexican country when the + whites first came to the continent, but was in vogue amongst many + different tribes, who used various substances in the manufacture of + rugs and blankets. Cotton amongst Southern and South-western tribes + was a favourite material, and in other places hemp, and the hair of + animals, and birds’ feathers were used. The Kwakiutls of the North-west + coast “made blankets of mountain-goat wool, dog’s hair, feathers, or a + mixture of both.”<a id="FNanchor_101" href="#Footnote_101" class="fnanchor">[101]</a> And the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_129">129</span>tribes of Puget Sound and the Straits + of Fuca “attained considerable skill in manufacturing a species of + blanket from a mixture of the wool of the mountain sheep and the hair + of a particular kind of dog, though in this art they never equalled + the more northern tribes.”<a id="FNanchor_102" href="#Footnote_102" class="fnanchor">[102]</a> It is extremely probable that some + of the Pueblos, before the introduction of the sheep of Europe, used + the hair or wool of a mountain sheep or goat for weaving, and it is + possible that they had to some extent domesticated that animal or some + similar one; at least they may have kept it imprisoned for its wool in + much the same way that they now keep eagles for their feathers. Fray + Marcos relates that one of the natives he met with in 1540 told him + that the people of Totonteac made cloth, much like the garment he had + on, from the hair of certain small animals. These animals have usually + been supposed to have been dogs, but as the Northern Amerinds used + mountain-goat’s wool, it is possible that the Pueblos, who were in + advance of them in all that pertains to weaving, had not only succeeded + in weaving such hair or wool garments, but had conceived the idea of + holding the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_130">130</span>animals in captivity. It has been supposed by some that + they had an animal of the vicuna kind. Terra-cotta images have been + found in the Salado ruins of Arizona that are difficult to identify, + and are believed by some zoölogists who have seen them to represent “a + creature allied to the South-American Camellidæ.”<a id="FNanchor_103" href="#Footnote_103" class="fnanchor">[103]</a></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp75" id="i_129"> + <img src="images/i_129.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>PART OF THE SOMAÍKOLI CEREMONY AT CICHUMOVI, NOVEMBER, 1884, SHOWING A SACRED BLANKET ON FIGURE IN FOREGROUND</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>“It has been surmised that such animals continued to be domesticated + by the sedentary Indians of Arizona and New Mexico down to historic + days and became extinct only when the more serviceable European sheep + was introduced by the Spaniards....

The + skins were twisted and attached one to another end and end, making a + sort of fur rope, and this rope was tied in parallel lines, forming + a kind of large cloak which was most serviceable in winter. Flax, or + a plant closely allied to it, also grew wild all over Arizona and + New Mexico, and was used for garments. The bark of the sagebrush was + used to make cord and mats. Yucca also furnished a supply of valuable + fibre. Cotton was grown by many of the Pueblos and is still cultivated + by the Mokis, who manufacture a sacred blanket from it that is sought + after at good prices by the Pueblos of other districts. It is a finely + woven white blanket, with a broad red stripe transversely at each end. + It is worn by women in the ceremonials. The Mokis are good weavers, + using a loom similar to that employed by the Navajos. The Moki loom + is generally set up in the kiva<a id="FNanchor_104" href="#Footnote_104" class="fnanchor">[104]</a> where often there are permanent + attachments for it, and there the men, who do all the weaving among + this tribe, patiently execute their plans. Most of the Moki blankets + are of low colours and simple design, dark blue being, with black, the + favourite tint. The usual material is the wool of the European sheep, + which has flourished among the Pueblos ever since it was introduced by + the Spaniards. The sheep are herded on the plains during the day and at + night are driven up the talus of the cliffs to corrals that lie just + below the plateau on which the villages are built. The Navajos living + in the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_131">131</span>surrounding country have far larger flocks than those of the + Moki, and weave only wool. In fact, there are amongst the Navajos more + than a million and a half head of sheep and goats. Most of the wool + from these they usually sell to dealers at four or five cents a pound + and then purchase for their blanket-work at high prices Germantown + wools of brilliant colours, which colours they cannot obtain with their + own dyes, though the colours they do secure are far more artistic. + Formerly, to get the brilliant red of which they are so fond, they + would buy a Mexican cloth, called <i>bayeta</i>, a sort of flannel, and + ravel it, to reweave it in their blankets. The women do most of the + weaving amongst the Navajos. The colours are usually bright, though + the every-day serviceable blanket is of dark blue and white or black + and white, or of the natural grey of the wool. The greater gaudiness + of much of the Navajo work has given it a reputation of superiority + to that of <span class="pagenum" id="Page_132">132</span>the Pueblo, which, in my opinion, is not wholly correct. + Washington Matthews,<a id="FNanchor_105" href="#Footnote_105" class="fnanchor">[105]</a> who has so carefully studied the subject, + states that there is a constant deterioration in Pueblo weaving, which + may be true in general, but hardly applies to the Moki. I have a sample + of Moki work which, so far as weaving skill is concerned, is as fine + as any Navajo work I have ever seen. The Moki do not turn out as much + as the Navajo, because they are a far smaller tribe; and their product + is dark, as a rule, in colour, as they use their own dyes, but its + texture, and especially the texture of the sacred cotton blankets, is + extremely fine, even finer and better as an example of weaving skill + than many Navajo blankets. “In some Pueblos,” says Matthews, “the skill + of the loom has been almost forgotten.”</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_131"> + <img src="images/i_131.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>DETAILS OF NAVAJO LOOM CONSTRUCTION</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>The Navajo loom is set up anywhere and a shelter of boughs built over + it.

The loom is worth a careful description, + and as I do not know of any better, or indeed so good as that given by + Matthews, it is here quoted entire: “Two posts, a a, are set firmly + in the ground; to these are lashed two cross pieces or braces, b c, + the whole forming the frame of the loom. Sometimes two slender trees, + growing at a convenient distance from one another, are made to answer + for the posts, d is a horizontal pole, which I call the supplementary + yarn-beam, attached to the upper brace, b, by means of a rope, e e, + spirally applied, f is the upper beam of the loom. As it is analogous + to the yarn-beam of our looms, I will call it by this name, although + once only have I seen the warp wound around it. It lies parallel to + the pole, d, about two or three inches below it, and is attached to + the latter by a number of loops, g g. A spiral cord wound around the + yarn-beam holds the upper border cord, h h, which, in turn, secures + the upper end of the warp, i i. The lower beam of the loom is shown + at k. I will call this the cloth beam, although the finished web is + never wound around it; it is tied firmly to the lower brace, c, of the + frame, and to it is secured the lower border cord of the blanket. The + original distance between the two beams is the length of the blanket. + Lying between the threads of the warp is depicted a broad, thin, oaken + stick, l, which I will call the batten. A set of healds attached to <span class="pagenum" id="Page_133">133</span>a + heald-rod, m, are shown above the batten. These healds are made of cord + or yarn; they include alternate threads of the warp, and serve when + drawn forward to open the lower shed. The upper shed is kept patent by + a stout rod, n (having no healds attached), which I name the shed-rod. + Their substitute for the reed of our looms is a wooden fork, which will + be designated as the reed-fork.”<a id="FNanchor_106" href="#Footnote_106" class="fnanchor">[106]</a></p> + + <p>All the Navajo and Pueblo weaving is the same on both sides. Most of + it is straight weaving, but there is a good deal of diagonal work. + This is true also of the Moki. The diagonal weaving produces a diamond + figure that is very pretty, but I have never seen it used in any of the + finest Navajo work. As to the designs, Matthews says that “in the finer + blankets of intricate pattern, out of thousands which I have examined, + I do not remember to have ever seen two exactly alike.”<a href="#Footnote_106" class="fnanchor">[106]</a> Doubtless + while some of these designs, or even many, are drawn from Pueblo + sources as noticed, the weaver introduces original features and often + invents new patterns. The blankets are woven, as a rule, in two ways, + the tight method for protection against rain, and the loose method for + protection against cold. The loose, soft blanket is worn under one of + the harder ones in wet or windy weather.<a id="FNanchor_107" href="#Footnote_107" class="fnanchor">[107]</a> The Navajos also weave + garters and long sashes. The garters are similar to the sashes, only + smaller. They are used to hold leggings in place. Small blankets are + made to put under the saddle, and these are often very fine in texture + as well as in pattern. Similar ones are made for children.</p> + + <p>“Previously to the seventeenth century,” says Bandelier, “the + aboriginal dress consisted largely of cotton sheets, or rather simple + wrappers, tied either around the neck or on the shoulder, or converted + into sleeveless jackets.” Of the fibre of the yucca, the Zuñi Indians + made skirts and kilts; of rabbit-skins very heavy blankets were made. + The northern Puebloans, of New Mexico, nearer to a game region, dressed + in buckskin in preference to anything else. But still, even when cotton + was unobtainable for whole garments, they sought to secure cotton + scarfs and girdles woven in bright colours, which were used for belts + as well as for garters, etc. The dress was more simple than that of + to-day. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_134">134</span>Leggings of buckskin were worn in winter only, and then mostly + by the northern Pueblos. The moccasin, or <i>tegua</i>, protected + the feet. It is explicitly stated that while the uppers of this shoe + without heel were of deerskin, the soles were frequently of buffalo + hide.”<a id="FNanchor_108" href="#Footnote_108" class="fnanchor">[108]</a> The moccasin of the South-west is generally soled with + rawhide of some kind, the sole being slightly turned up all round.</p> + + <p>Another material for garments was feathers. These were utilised all + over the continent, to a greater or less degree, by various tribes, but + it was the Mexicans who carried the work in this line to perfection. + “Nothing could be more picturesque,” says Prescott, “than the aspect of + these Indian battalions with the naked bodies of the common soldiers + gaudily painted, the fantastic helmets of the chiefs glittering with + gold and precious stones, and the glowing panoplies of feather-work, + which decorated their persons.... The common file wore no covering + except a girdle round the loins. Their bodies were painted with + appropriate colours of the chieftain whose banner they followed. The + feather-mail of the higher class of warriors exhibited also a similar + selection of colours for the like object, in the same manner as the + colour of the tartan indicates the peculiar clan of the Highlander. + The caciques and principal warriors were clothed in a quilted cotton + tunic, two inches thick, which, fitting close to the body, protected + also the thighs and the shoulders. Over this the wealthier Indians wore + cuirasses of thin gold plate or silver. Their legs were defended by + leathern boots or sandals, trimmed with gold. But the most brilliant + part of their costume was a rich mantle of the <i>plumaje</i>, or + feather-work, embroidered with curious art, and furnishing some + resemblance to the gorgeous surcoat worn by the European knight over + his armour in the Middle Ages. This graceful and picturesque dress + was surmounted by a fantastic head-piece made of wood or leather, + representing the head of some wild animal, and frequently displaying + a formidable array of teeth. With this covering the warrior’s head + was enveloped, producing a most grotesque and hideous effect. From + the crown floated a splendid <i>panache</i> of the richly variegated + plumage of the tropics, indicating, by its form and colours, the + rank and family of the wearer. To complete their defensive armour, + they carried shields or targets, made sometimes of wood covered with + leather, but more usually of a light frame of <span class="pagenum" id="Page_136">136</span>reeds quilted with + cotton, which were preferred as tougher and less liable to fracture + than the former. They had other bucklers, in which the cotton was + covered with an elastic substance, enabling them to be shut up in a + more compact form, like a fan or umbrella. These shields were decorated + with showy ornaments, according to the taste or wealth of the wearer, + and fringed with a beautiful pendant of feather-work.... Such was the + costume of the Tlascalan warrior, and, indeed, of that great family of + nations generally who occupied the plateau of Anahuac.<a id="FNanchor_109" href="#Footnote_109" class="fnanchor">[109]</a>... They + were particularly struck with the costume of the higher classes, who + wore fine embroidered mantles, resembling the graceful <i>albornoz</i>, + or Moorish cloak, in their texture and fashion.<a id="FNanchor_110" href="#Footnote_110" class="fnanchor">[110]</a>... Here they were + met by several hundred Aztec chiefs, who came out to announce the + approach of Montezuma, and to welcome the Spaniards to his capital. + They were dressed in the fanciful gala costume of the country, with the + <i>maxtlatl</i>, or cotton sash, around their loins, and a broad mantle + of the same material, or of the brilliant feather-embroidery, flowing + gracefully down their shoulders. On their necks and arms they displayed + collars and bracelets of turquoise mosaic, with which delicate plumage + was curiously mingled, while their ears, under-lips, and occasionally + their noses, were garnished with pendants formed of precious stones, + or crescents of fine gold<a id="FNanchor_111" href="#Footnote_111" class="fnanchor">[111]</a>.... Montezuma wore the girdle and ample + square cloak, <i>tilmatli</i>,<a id="FNanchor_112" href="#Footnote_112" class="fnanchor">[112]</a> of his nation. It was made of the + finest cotton, with the embroidered ends gathered in a knot around his + neck. His feet were defended by sandals having soles of gold, and the + leathern thongs which bound them to his ankles were embossed with the + same metal. Both the cloak and sandals were sprinkled with pearls and + precious stones, among which the emerald and the <i>chalchivitl</i>—a + green stone of higher estimation than any other among the + Aztecs—were conspicuous. On his head he wore no other ornament than + a <i>panache</i> of plumes of the royal green which floated down his + back, the badge of military, rather than of regal rank.”<a id="FNanchor_113" href="#Footnote_113" class="fnanchor">[113]</a></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp75" id="i_135"> + <img src="images/i_135.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>A PUEBLOAN OF SAN JUAN, NEW MEXICO</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_137">137</span></p> + + <p>These quotations from Prescott will give an idea of the costume of the + Mexicans, and of the beautiful feather-work which formed so important + a part of it. Though the language of Prescott may somewhat exaggerate + the quality and beauty of the Mexican garments, we know from what + the Mexicans and Pueblos manufactured afterward that much skill must + have been displayed in these various fabrics. The cloak of cotton was + probably no more a cloak or mantle than the blankets woven by the + Pueblos and Navajos to-day; that is, it was a square of cloth worn + about the shoulders. If one should describe the Pueblo in Prescott’s + delightful language, we should think him and his houses and garments + far finer than they really are. To describe a breech-cloth as a girdle + round the loins; to speak of blankets as mantles and robes; moccasins + as sandals, and otherwise gild description, makes pleasant reading, but + is liable to convey erroneous impressions. Prescott’s lack of general + knowledge of Amerind customs gave him a free rein and his poetical + temperament finished the picture.</p> + + <figure class="figright illowp60" id="i_137"> + <img src="images/i_137.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>METHOD OF MAKING FEATHER-WORK</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Montezuma wore on his head “a <i>panache</i> of plumes, ... the badge + of military, rather than of regal rank.” And this is exactly what + Montezuma was, a war-chief. But Prescott drew his material from the + Spaniards, and where he describes what they saw, he is not, in all + probability, far from the mark, although his language may be sometimes + rather flowery. The feather-work was one of the remarkable products + of the Aztecs. In an ornamental way it is still practised in Mexico, + and the birds and other objects made from feathers exhibit a wonderful + skill. Mantles of fur are mentioned as being used by the Aztecs, + but these were probably constructed in much the same manner as the + rabbit-skin robes of the Moki and the Pai Ute, that is, by twisting + the skins into ropes and then tying them together. The cotton weaving + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_138">138</span>was done on a loom similar to that now in use by the Navajos and the + Pueblos. The feather-work was probably made in much the same way as + that of Peru, specimens of which have been preserved in the tombs. The + figure on <a href="#Page_137">page 137</a> shows the way the Peruvians attached the feathers + to the cloth underground, but in many cases the feathers were woven + in with the warp and woof, instead of being attached to the surface + in this way. This use of feathers was not confined to any particular + locality, but, like almost all the arts in use on the continent, was + widely distributed. Turkey feathers were used in Virginia for this + work, and in Louisiana the same bird was called upon. “The feather + mantles,” writes Du Pratz in his history of Louisiana, “are made on + a frame similar to that on which the peruke makers work hair; they + spread the feathers in the same manner and fasten them on old fish-nets + or old mantles of mulberry bark. They are placed, spread in this + manner, one over the other and on both sides; for this purpose small + turkey feathers are used; women who have feathers of swans or India + ducks, which are white, make these feather mantles for women of high + rank.”<a id="FNanchor_114" href="#Footnote_114" class="fnanchor">[114]</a> Feather mantles of fine quality were also made by the + Lenapé.</p> + + <p>Almost every Amerind tribe could make thread, cord, nets, mats, and + some kind of woven stuff. The Mexicans, Mayas, and other tribes of the + Central region excelled in these things, but the Pueblos, and Navajos, + as we have seen, execute in modern times some admirable fabrics, which + the Pueblos also constructed before the advent of the whites.</p> + + <p>“The Mexicans had also,” says Prescott, “the art of spinning a fine + thread of the hair of the rabbit and other animals, which they wove + into a delicate web that took a permanent dye.... The women, as in + other parts of the country, seemed to go about as freely as the men. + They wore several skirts or petticoats of different lengths, with + highly ornamented borders, and sometimes over them loose flowing + robes, which reached to the ankles. These, also, were made of cotton; + for the wealthier classes, of a fine texture, prettily embroidered. + No veils were worn here (Mexico) as in some other parts of Anahuac, + where they were made of the aloe thread, or of the light web of hair + above noticed.”<a id="FNanchor_115" href="#Footnote_115" class="fnanchor">[115]</a> Biart<a id="FNanchor_116" href="#Footnote_116" class="fnanchor">[116]</a> says the women wore “a piece of + cloth <i>cueitl</i>, which they <span class="pagenum" id="Page_140">140</span>wrapped around their bodies, and + which descended a little below the knee; over this skirt they wore a + sleeveless chemise called <i>huepilli</i>.”</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp55" id="i_139"> + <img src="images/i_139.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>CHILKAT CEREMONIAL SHIRT</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>The Mayas and other Amerinds of the Central region used woven cloths + similar to those of the Aztecs. Of the dress of the modern Amerinds + of Nicaragua, Squier says: “It is exceedingly simple. On ordinary + occasions the women wear only a white or flowered skirt fastened round + the waist, leaving the upper part of the person entirely exposed, or + but partially covered by a handkerchief fastened around the neck. + In Masaya and some other places, a square piece of cloth of native + manufacture, and precisely the same style and pattern with that used + for the same purpose before the Discovery, supplies the place of a + skirt. It is fastened in some incomprehensible way without aid of + strings or pins and falls from the hips a little below the knees.... + The men wear a kind of cotton drawers, fastened above the hips, but + frequently reaching no lower than the knees. Sandals supply the place + of shoes, but for the most part both sexes go with bare feet.”<a id="FNanchor_117" href="#Footnote_117" class="fnanchor">[117]</a> + The costume of the women of Louisiana as depicted by Du Pratz in an + illustration in his history, is almost, if not quite identical with the + costume of the women of Nicaragua.</p> + + <p>Fine dressing was not confined to the Mexicans. Other Amerinds gave + some attention to their personal appearance as well as the tribes of + Mexico. In the following description by a Miss Powell, who visited an + Iroquois council on Buffalo Creek, in 1785, of Captain David, if the + worthy Captain had been described as a “lord,” and Miss Powell had been + less skeptical about his ablutions, he might easily have ranked with + some of the “lords” of Anahuac who are so conspicuous in the charming + works of Prescott. Miss Powell declared, “that the Prince of Wales + did not bow with more grace than ‘Captain David.’ He spoke English + with propriety. His person was as tall and fine as it was possible to + imagine; his features handsome and regular, with a countenance of much + softness; his complexion not disagreeably dark, and, said Miss Powell, + ‘I really believe he washes his face.’... His hair was shaved off, + except a little on top of his head, which, with his ears, was painted + a glowing red. Around his head was a fillet of silver from which two + strips of black velvet, covered with <span class="pagenum" id="Page_141">141</span>silver beads and brooches, hung + over the left temple. A ‘foxtail feather’ in his scalp-lock and a black + one behind each ear waved and nodded as he walked, while a pair of + immense silver ear-rings hung down to his shoulders. He wore a calico + shirt, the neck and shoulders thickly covered with silver brooches, the + sleeves confined above the elbows with broad silver bracelets engraved + with the arms of England, while four smaller ones adorned his wrists. + Around his waist was a dark scarf lined with scarlet which hung to his + feet, while his costume was completed by neatly fitting blue cloth + leggins, fastened with an ornamental garter below the knee.”<a id="FNanchor_118" href="#Footnote_118" class="fnanchor">[118]</a> This + elegant gentleman belonged to no vanished or mysterious race; he was + a modern Iroquois. Undoubtedly his ancestors had, many of them, with + the means at their command, dressed with equal splendour, and we may + wonder what kind of a description of them we would have had from the + romantic Spaniards if they had happened to meet with them. Even this + well-balanced American lady was considerably overcome, for she says: + “Captain David made the finest appearance I ever saw in my life.” About + this same time, or to be accurate, in 1776, Father Escalante met with + Amerinds in Utah whose dress was very different. “Their dress,” he + says, “manifests great poverty; the most decent which they wear is a + coat or shirt of deerskin, and big moccasins of the same in winter; + they have dresses made of hare and rabbit skin.”<a id="FNanchor_119" href="#Footnote_119" class="fnanchor">[119]</a> In the latter we + recognise the same twisted skin garments that are still used, or were + a few years ago, by the Pai Utes and the Mokis. In central Georgia in + Soto’s time the women wore a kind of shawl, “for covering, wearing one + about the body from the waist downward, and another over the shoulder + with the right arm left free.”<a id="FNanchor_120" href="#Footnote_120" class="fnanchor">[120]</a> Spinning and weaving were long + supposed, by those who had not investigated, to be practised only by + the Mexican and Pueblo tribes, and by the Navajos, but the Pimas and + Maricopas of Arizona were adepts in these arts in 1857. The government + agent reports at that time: “They also spin and weave their cotton, by + hand, into blankets of a beautiful texture, an art not acquired from + the Spaniards, but found among them more than three hundred years ago, + when the Spaniards first <span class="pagenum" id="Page_142">142</span>penetrated the country.”<a id="FNanchor_121" href="#Footnote_121" class="fnanchor">[121]</a> The Algonquins + of Connecticut dressed in skins “cured so as to be soft and pliable, + and sometimes ornamented with paint and with beads manufactured from + shells. Occasionally they decked themselves in mantles made of feathers + overlapping each other as on the back of the fowl, and presenting an + appearance of fantastic gayety which, no doubt, prodigiously delighted + the wearers. The dress of the women consisted usually of two articles: + a leather skirt, or under garment, ornamented with fringe; and a skirt + of the same material, fastened round the waist with a belt and reaching + nearly to the feet.... Their hair they dressed in a thick heavy + plait which fell down upon the neck; and they sometimes ornamented + their heads with bands of wampum or with a small cap. The men went + bare-headed, with their hair fantastically trimmed, each according to + his fancy. One warrior would have it shaved on one side of the head + and long on the other. Another might be seen with his scalp completely + bare, except a strip two or three inches in width running from the + forehead over to the nape of the neck. This was kept short, and so + thoroughly stiffened with paint and bear’s grease as to stand straight + after the fashion of a cock’s comb, or the crest of a warrior’s + helmet. The legs were covered with leggins of dressed deerskin, and + the lower part of the body was protected by the breech-cloth, usually + called by the early settlers, Indian breeches. Moccasins, that is, + light shoes of soft <span class="pagenum" id="Page_143">143</span>dressed leather, were common to both sexes; + and like other portions of the attire, were many times tastefully + ornamented with embroidery of wampum. The men often dispensed with + their leggins, especially in summer; while in winter they protected + themselves against the bleak air by adding to their garments a mantle + of skins. The male children ran about in a state of nature until they + were ten or twelve years old; the girls were provided with an apron, + though of very economical dimensions.... The women ... used the paint + as an ornament, while the men seldom applied it, except when they + went to war and wished to appear very terrible in the sight of their + enemies. Sachems and great men had caps and aprons heavily wrought with + different-coloured beads. Belts were also worn of the same material, + some of which contained so great a quantity of wampum as to be valued + by the English colonists at eight and ten pounds sterling.”<a id="FNanchor_122" href="#Footnote_122" class="fnanchor">[122]</a></p> + + <figure class="figleft illowp70" id="i_142"> + <img src="images/i_142.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>CHILKAT CEREMONIAL BLANKET</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Here we discover the same desire for distinction of individuals by + dress that exists in all races, and the same desire to dress richly + on the part of those possessing wealth or station, for it must be + understood that wealth and station have their degrees amongst the + rudest Amerinds as well as amongst the highest and amongst the + Europeans. The dress in the summer always differs considerably from + that of winter. In many tribes little is worn by the men in summer but + the breech-cloth, and sometimes not even that. I recall one morning + when I was living in the Moki village of Tewa, in Arizona, one of + the dignitaries came to call upon me, as was a common custom, and he + had wrapped about him a native blanket. When he temporarily let this + covering drop away from his person, I noticed that there was not even + a breech-cloth beneath. The small children of both sexes played about + in a state of nature, though some wore a shirt, and the women appeared + to have on only the one garment, made of two small black blankets sewed + together on their side edges and caught over the right shoulder and + under the left. The Moki women wear moccasins only in the ceremonials, + or on some state occasion, or when travelling. They rarely travel.</p> + + <p>Catlin gave a great deal of attention to the costumes of the Amerinds + he travelled amongst and painted, and a reference to his works opens + up a world of detail that cannot be presented <span class="pagenum" id="Page_144">144</span>here. Some of his most + interesting work was amongst the Mandans, of Dakota stock, in the year + 1832.<a id="FNanchor_123" href="#Footnote_123" class="fnanchor">[123]</a> I will quote from him some general remarks on the Mandan + costume. “The Mandans, in many instances, dress very neatly, and some + of them splendidly. As they are in their native state, their dresses + are all of their own manufacture, and, of course, altogether made + of skins of different animals belonging to those regions. There is, + certainly, a reigning and striking similarity of costume amongst most + of the North-western tribes, and I cannot say that the dress of the + Mandans is decidedly distinct from that of the Crows or the Blackfeet, + the Assiniboins, or the Sioux<a id="FNanchor_124" href="#Footnote_124" class="fnanchor">[124]</a>; yet there are modes of stitching + or embroidering in every tribe which may at once enable the traveller + who is familiar with their modes to detect or distinguish the dress + of any tribe. These differences consist generally in the fashions of + constructing the head-dress, or of garnishing their dresses with the + porcupine quills, which they use in great profusion.... The tunic, + or shirt, of the Mandan men is very similar in shape to that of the + Blackfeet—made of two skins of deer, or mountain-sheep, strung with + scalp-locks, beads, and ermine. The leggings, like those of the other + tribes of which I have spoken, are made of deerskins and shaped to fit + the leg, embroidered with porcupine <span class="pagenum" id="Page_145">145</span>quills, and fringed with scalps + from their enemies’ heads. Their moccasins are made of buckskin, and + neatly ornamented with porcupine quills. Over their shoulders (or, in + other words, over one shoulder and passing under the other) they very + gracefully wear a robe from a young buffalo’s back, oftentimes cut + down to about half of its original size, to make it handy and easy + for use. Many of these are also fringed on one side with scalp-locks, + and the flesh side of the skin curiously ornamented with pictured + representations of the creditable events and battles of their lives. + Their head-dresses are of various sorts, and many of them exceedingly + picturesque and handsome, generally made of war-eagles’ or ravens’ + quills and ermine. These are the most costly part of an Indian’s dress + in all this county, owing to the difficulty of procuring the quills and + the fur; the war-eagle being the <i>rara avis</i>, and the ermine the + rarest animal that is found in the country.” Catlin gave two horses + for one of the head-dresses. This specimen came down to the wearer’s + feet. These are now called “war-bonnets,” and are still in use among + the Sioux and other tribes. “There is occasionally,” continues Catlin, + “a chief or a warrior <span class="pagenum" id="Page_146">146</span>of so extraordinary renown that he is allowed + to wear horns on his head-dress, which give to his aspect a strange + and majestic effect. These are made of about a third part of the horn + of a buffalo bull, the horn having been split from end to end, and a + third part of it taken and shaved thin and light and highly polished. + These are attached to the top of the head-dress on each side in the + same place that they rise and stand on the head of a buffalo, rising + out of a mat of ermine skins and tails, which hang over the top of the + head-dress somewhat in the form that the large and profuse locks of + hair hang and fall over the head of a buffalo bull.” This head-dress + with horns “is used only on certain occasions, and they are very + seldom.”<a id="FNanchor_125" href="#Footnote_125" class="fnanchor">[125]</a></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp80" id="i_144"> + <img src="images/i_144.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>MOKI WALL DECORATION.

Others wore fine buckskin suits; a fringed shirt + and fringed leggings reaching, like those of the Dakota, to the waist. + The southern Utah women wore conical caps of wicker-work, like a bowl + upside down, except that they had a little point at the top.<a id="FNanchor_130" href="#Footnote_130" class="fnanchor">[130]</a> The + women’s garment was of buckskin, attached at the neck and hanging down + before and behind to below the knee, open at the sides, and bound + around the waist by a buckskin sash. There was a plentiful adornment of + buckskin fringe also. The feet were bare except in cold weather, when + moccasins were worn. The younger women wore a narrow band around the + brow composed of two buckskin strings, covered with porcupine quills, + which were interwoven to hold the strings <span class="pagenum" id="Page_150">150</span>together, and the men + often wore a head-dress of feathers, which stood straight up around + the crown. In both men and women the hair was allowed to hang down, + brushed back from the face without braids of any kind. The Navajo men + wear a sort of turban; a piece of red cloth or a bandana twisted around + the brow, the hair being done up in a kind of Greek knot behind. Their + clothes consist of a shirt or jacket of cotton goods, and trousers + of the same stuff reaching to just below the knee and slashed up on + the outside for about eight inches. They sometimes wear close-fitting + breeches with leggings. This garment is generally held at the waist + by a belt, which is often richly decorated by discs of silver about + two by four inches elaborately engraved in their native style. The + trousers are sometimes bound inside the leggings. Their leggings are + of buckskin, red or black, frequently fastened on the outside by a row + of silver half-globe buttons of their own make and woven garters, some + three feet long, twisted around above the calf. The leggings are also + applied without any buttons when they are held by the garters. The + moccasin is one finely made, red or black, or the natural tan colour, + with a rawhide sole turned up all round, and, like the leggings, often + fastened by several silver buttons. The Navajos are extremely fond + of black. The hair of the women is parted and tied in a knot behind + very much the same as that of the men. Their dress is now very like + that of Moki women, that is, a garment that is attached over the right + shoulder, under the left, and falls about half way between the knees + and the ground, usually caught in at the waist by a sash or belt. + Also like the Moki women they wear a kind of combined moccasin and + legging, on certain occasions. This is a rawhide-soled moccasin with + a long narrow top-piece which is wound round and round the leg after + the moccasin is put on, and gives an almost straight line from the + knee down, almost exactly the same as the Moki custom. In fact, so far + as garments are concerned, it might often be difficult to tell Navajo + and Moki women apart. The Moki women wear their hair differently; the + married ones making two cues of it which hang down on each side of the + face, usually in front of the shoulders, while the unmarried ones have + theirs done up in two extraordinary wheels or discs standing parallel + with the side of the face or head, and attached to it by a sort of axle + wound round with string. This effect is obtained by first dividing the + hair into two equal parts, drawing each part to its side of the head + and <span class="pagenum" id="Page_151">151</span>winding it with string just above the ear, and a little behind + it. Each division is then again divided, horizontally, into two equal + parts, and these parts are carefully brushed around a curved stick, + like a letter U, held with the opening sidewise, the upper one down + and around and the lower one up and around, till they are completely + wound over the U and spread out as much as possible at the same time. + Then they are tied in the middle with a string, that is, between the + arms of the U, and finally, before withdrawing the U, the two portions + are fully spread, till when the U is taken out, and they are further + arranged, they almost meet and form a perfect wheel or circle. In + ordinary practice they do not meet, but resemble a well tied bow-knot + of broad ribbon; but when a girl has a fine head of hair that has been + well cared for, and her mother takes a pride in dressing her hair for + any ceremony or feast day, the wheel is almost perfect. This peculiar + method of hair-dressing is now found nowhere else in the world, except + among the unmarried women of the Coyotero Apaches, who are said to wear + a coil something like it.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_148"> + <img src="images/i_148.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>A NAVAJO LEADER IN NATIVE COSTUME</figcaption> + </figure> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_149"> + <img src="images/i_149.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>INTERIOR OF A MOKI HOUSE, ARIZONA<br> + Unmarried women grinding corn; married women baking <i>piki</i>, or + “paper” bread.

In some tribes the warriors wore a head-dress, + either a kind of turban or a feather head-dress. The Dakotas wore their + long trailing war-bonnets of feathers, or not possessing one, certain + feathers in their hair, according to their standing as warriors; and + sometimes their leggings. Of course each carried bow, quiver, shield, + and such weapons of his tribe as were in vogue. On the North-west coast + a protective armour was employed, and such a practice obtained in other + regions, notably among the Aztecs and other Mexicans, who made a thick + quilted cotton armour, as was noted in the quotations from Prescott. + The subject of armour, however, belongs to another chapter. The wearing + of rings in the nose and ears, and the perforation of the ears, while + a part of costume, more properly belongs to customs. In the “ghost” + excitement of a few years ago, special shirts were donned, and in the + battles resulting from this craze, these shirts were worn because they + were thought to be proof against bullets and all other weapons. “During + the dance,” says Mooney, “it was worn as an outside garment, but was + said to be worn at other times under the ordinary dress. Although the + shape, fringing, and feather adornment were practically the same in + every case, considerable variation existed in regard to the painting, + the designs on some being very simple, while the others were fairly + covered with representations of sun, moon, and stars, the sacred + things of their mythology, and the visions of the trance. The feathers + attached to the garment were always those of the eagle, and the thread + used in the sewing was always the old-time sinew.”<a id="FNanchor_138" href="#Footnote_138" class="fnanchor">[138]</a> The approved + material of the “ghost-shirt” was buckskin, but where this could not be + had the shirt was made of cotton cloth.</p> + + <p>In the Far North, clothing is imperative all the year round, and about + every minute of the time, out-of-doors. Yet the garments of the Eskimo + often do not quite meet around the waist, so that in bending over the + bare back is exposed to the cold. In their houses, too, they often wear + very little; nothing more than a kind of deerskin drawers. The material + of their clothing is entirely fur-skins; <span class="pagenum" id="Page_157">157</span>though the Hudson Bay Eskimo + sometimes wear trousers of jean, or denim, obtained in trade. Up to + a certain age the children of both sexes are dressed much alike, and + the smaller ones scrabbling about the bottom of a <i>umiak</i>, or + skin boat, can hardly be distinguished at first glance from some kind + of a bear cub. At Plover Bay, Siberia, where the natives resemble the + Eskimo, I saw one small child in arms, that seemed to be completely + sewed up in skins with the hair side in, its arms and legs looking + like the stumps left after a surgical operation. Of the skin of the + child nothing was to be seen except its face, its head, too, being + entirely enveloped. This was in the middle of July, when the far-away + Moki children would be scurrying about without a thread to disguise + them. The children of the Eskimo proper, on our side of Bering Strait, + were clothed, as mentioned, in skins with the fur side out. Reindeer, + otter, fox, and seal seem to furnish the bulk of <span class="pagenum" id="Page_158">158</span>their furs, but + a number of other skins and furs are used when they can get them. + Murdoch, Boas, and Turner have given such careful detailed accounts of + the Eskimo in the various regions they visited,<a id="FNanchor_139" href="#Footnote_139" class="fnanchor">[139]</a> that I refer the + reader to them for full information, presenting here only sufficient to + convey a general idea of the clothing. “The chief material (at Point + Barrow) is the skin of the reindeer (caribou),” says Murdoch, “which + is used in various stages of pelage. Fine, short-haired summer skins, + especially those of does and fawns, are used for making dress garments + and underclothes. The heavier skins are used for every-day working + clothes, while the heaviest winter skins furnish extra warm jackets for + cold weather, warm winter stockings and mittens.... The man’s dress + consists of the usual loose hooded frock, without opening except at + the neck and wrists. This reaches just over the hips, rarely about to + mid-thigh, where it is cut off square, and is usually confined by a + girdle at the waist. Under this garment is worn a similar one, usually + of lighter skin and sometimes without a hood. The thighs are clad in + one or two pairs of tight-fitting knee-breeches, confined round the + hips by a girdle and usually secured by a drawstring below the knee, + which ties over the tops of the boots. On the legs and feet are worn, + first, a pair of long, deerskin stockings with the hair inside; then + slippers of tanned sealskin, in the bottom of which is spread a layer + of whalebone shavings, and outside a pair of close-fitting boots, held + in place round the ankle, usually reaching above the knee, and ending + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_159">159</span>by a string with a rough edge, which is covered by the breeches.... + The boots are of reindeer skin, with white sealskin soles for winter + and dry weather, but in summer waterproof boots of black sealskin with + soles of white whaleskin, etc., are worn.”<a id="FNanchor_140" href="#Footnote_140" class="fnanchor">[140]</a></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp70" id="i_157"> + <img src="images/i_157.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>THE GHOST-SHIRT, SIMPLE FORM</figcaption> + </figure> + + <figure class="figleft illowp40" id="i_158"> + <img src="images/i_158.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>ESKIMO BOOTS</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>The woman’s frock is much like the man’s, in the Point Barrow region, + only it has tails, or aprons, front and rear, rounded at the bottom. In + the Hudson Bay region, this garment is shaped more at the waist, and + the tails are lance-shaped and narrower, while the front one is much + shorter than the back. At Point Barrow there is also worn by the men a + cloak or mantle of deerskin, in extremely cold weather. These cloaks + are put on over the head, and fall down all round, being fastened + at the throat by strings. They are not of one piece. The men’s leg + coverings come only to the knee, but the women’s are long enough to + reach from the feet to the waist, and the moccasin is attached to the + bottom. The edge of the moccasin sole is crimped to make it smaller at + the top, and this is the case with the soles of the boots made. This + crimping is done by the teeth. The wet-weather boots are waterproof + and light, but there is a disagreeable odour about them. This odour is + more pronounced in some of the hastily made stockings which are worn + inside the boots. I bought a pair of the common sealskin stockings + made with hair side in at Port Clarence, but their smell was something + unbearable. For a waterproof garment they take the entrails of the + seal and, splitting them longitudinally, sew together the strips thus + obtained in the desired shape. Coats made in this way are durable and + light, and answer the purpose admirably. Dr. Kane mentions a dress + he saw where a man wore “booted trousers of white bearskin, which + at the end of the foot were made to terminate with the claws of the + animal.”<a id="FNanchor_141" href="#Footnote_141" class="fnanchor">[141]</a></p> + + <p>In the middle and upper Mississippi region, according to Hunter, there + were tribes who made blankets of the wool of the buffalo, notably the + Osages, who were of Siouan stock. Their method of procedure seems to + have been very like that of the Navajos and Mokis, to whom they are + not related, except that they belong to the Amerind race. Hunter says: + “The hair of the buffalo and other animals is sometimes manufactured + into blankets; the hair is first twisted by hand and wound into balls. + The warp is then laid of a length to answer the size of the intended + blanket, crossed by three small smooth rods alternately beneath the + threads, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_160">160</span>and secured at each end to stronger rods supported on forks, + at a short distance above the ground. Thus prepared the woof is filled + in, thread by thread, and pressed closely together, by means of a long + flattened wooden needle. When the weaving is finished, the ends of + the warp and woof are tied into knots, and the blanket is ready for + use.”<a id="FNanchor_142" href="#Footnote_142" class="fnanchor">[142]</a></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp50" id="i_160"> + <img src="images/i_160.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>RAIN HAT, HAIDA<br> + See figure <a href="#Page_146">page 146</a></figcaption> + </figure> + + <hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> + <div class="chapter" id="Ch_VII"> + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_161">161</span> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp85" id="i_161"> + <img src="images/i_161.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>TOUCAN OF SQUIER AND DAVIS, REALLY A CROW</figcaption> + </figure> + + <h2>CHAPTER VII</h2> + </div> + + <div class="subheadc">CARVING, MODELLING, SCULPTURE</div> + + <p class="drop-cap">THE shaping of objects in clay, wood, or stone, or other material, + known as carving, modelling, etc., constitutes sculpture.

It must not be supposed, though, that + all members of a tribe possessed the sculptor’s power. There was as + much variation as we now find among ourselves. It is not everyone of + our people who can model a statue, or even carve the rudest shape + imitating man. So it was with the Amerind. He had his arrow-makers, + his skilful potters, his great carvers, who were <span class="pagenum" id="Page_162">162</span>employed by the less + skilful to do their work. To-day, among the Amerinds of the North-west + coast, there are specialists who carve the totem poles, and obtain high + prices. The totem poles and house-posts are often elaborate, being + covered almost from top to bottom with figures of totemic animals. The + carving is often on a large scale, as the totem poles are frequently + more than fifty feet in height. They are planted several feet in the + ground, then there are several feet plain, and from that on to near the + top they may be covered with carving, while surmounting the whole is a + figure—bird, fish, or bear, or other animal—of large proportions. These + poles stand in front of the house,<a id="FNanchor_143" href="#Footnote_143" class="fnanchor">[143]</a> and are an indication of the + clan or clans to which the person or persons who erected it belong. The + Haidas and the Tlinkits specially excel in totem poles. The execution + of the figures is often extremely good in a barbaric way. Besides the + carved poles there are often the carved columns or posts inside the + houses. These posts serve to support <span class="pagenum" id="Page_163">163</span>the two great rafters on which + the jack-rafters rest, and are often elaborate. At a deserted village + in south-east Alaska (Cape Fox), I saw two of these columns, each + representing a huge bird, the wings being split out of cedar, quite + thin, and attached to the post with a diagonally forward direction, + the rest of the bird being erect and facing the room, the posts being + within about six feet of the rear of the structure. Its tail was carved + out of the post in a sort of bas-relief the remainder of the post being + squared up both below and above, and on the sides of the figure, except + where the head was. The latter had a huge beak, of the carnivorous + type. On the breast was a singular round face. The whole was brightly + painted in reds, yellows, and blacks. The accompanying figure + represents another of the house-posts of this village which is now at + Michigan University. It was similarly painted. The carving of these + tribes is done almost entirely in wood, so that had they disappeared a + century or so before our coming there would have been found scarcely + a trace of their work. In like manner the work of the tribes of the + Mississippi valley may have disappeared—that is, supposing that they + carved in wood, which is probable. There is a great similarity between + the carving of the Haida and the Tlinkit totem poles, yet these tribes + are of different stocks. An animal resembling a frog seems to be very + common as a totem in both stocks. Human figures are also carved on the + poles, and strange heads are frequent.</p> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_164">164</span></p> + + <figure class="figleft illowp32 clear" id="i_164"> + <img src="images/i_164.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>TOTEM POLE WITH BEAR ON THE TOP WRANGELL</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>The Haidas have become famous for their gigantic canoes carved from + single logs and elaborately decorated.<a id="FNanchor_144" href="#Footnote_144" class="fnanchor">[144]</a> The other Amerinds of + this region also dig out fine boats from the huge logs they obtain + so easily in the forest, but there are none equal to those of the + Haida, who, indeed, require specially good boats for navigating the + waters around their island, Queen Charlotte’s. They are the best + carvers of all the tribes now living north of Mexico. Their work is + grotesque, corresponding with the singular mythology of the artists and + their inability to render accurately the forms they see about them. + Combinations of human and animal forms are often seen, such as the + panther-man found by Swan in this region—a crouching figure with an + attempt at a panther’s head and forelegs, with the hind legs human. One + of the most remarkable of all the Haida works from an artistic point of + view is the group called the “Bear-mother,”<a id="FNanchor_145" href="#Footnote_145" class="fnanchor">[145]</a> now in the National + Museum at Washington, and made by <i>Skaowskeav</i>, one of the tribe. + It apparently shows European influence. The lines are more flowing and + soft than the ordinary Amerind method of execution, and the conception + is more in range with European ideas. This may be accidental, however, + and merely in the line of the sculptor’s development. The material is + slate. The subject is a child at the breast of the “Bear-mother.” The + story of the bear-mother, as told by J. G. Swan, is that “a number of + Indian squaws were in the woods gathering berries when one of them, + the daughter of a chief, spoke in terms of ridicule of the whole bear + species. The bears descended on them and killed all but the chief’s + daughter, whom the king of the bears took to wife. She bore him a + child, half human and half bear. The carving represents the agony of + the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_165">165</span>mother in suckling this rough and uncouth offspring.” From an + art standpoint, one failure in the execution of this conception is + that the child does not suggest sufficiently its half-bear character. + Nevertheless, it is an extraordinary work for an Amerind.</p> + + <div class="clear"></div> + <div class="col50"> + <figure class="figcenter" id="i_165-1"> + <img class="illowp100" src="images/i_165-1.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>TERRA-COTTA STATUETTE, CHIRIQUI.

The + Innuit also make wooden <span class="pagenum" id="Page_166">166</span>masks, but they are crude when compared with + those of Queen Charlotte Island, or the mainland in that vicinity. One + feature of all these North-west masks, specially noted by Dall,<a id="FNanchor_146" href="#Footnote_146" class="fnanchor">[146]</a> + which resembles Mexican carvings, is the protruding tongue touching an + animal. The protruding tongue is an index of life if firmly held forth, + according to Squier, while if it is loose and dangling at one side it + signifies death or captivity. Dall concludes that the touch of the + tongue symbolises the “transmission of spiritual qualities or powers.” + In the totem poles this protruding tongue touching an animal is common, + while frequently the tongue protrudes without touching any other person + or thing. A totem represents the guardian spirit of the individual or + clan, and therefore the closer the association with it the better; + hence the idea of placing the tongue upon it.</p> + + <figure class="figleft illowp70" id="i_166"> + <img src="images/i_166.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>WOODEN MASKS, N.

One grave I saw at Cape Fox was presided over by + two huge wooden bears, the whole sheltered by a neat roof on posts and + surrounded by a balustrade. The animals must have been at least four + and a half feet high. Boas describes a grave-monument bird carved out + of cedar bark, which is six feet high and about twelve feet from tip + to tip of the extended wings. This bird is upright like the one carved + on the house-post mentioned above, and, like that, has on its stomach + the carved representation of a face.

The Kwakiutls also have carved some + statues in wood representing chiefs in a state of nature. These are + extremely crude, but are superior to much of the Moundbuilder work as + shown in the pipes and other carvings that have been preserved, and + not greatly behind the Mexican. Double-headed birds and animals figure + prominently among the carvings and drawings of the North-west coast + tribes, such as the double-headed “thunder-bird,”<span class="pagenum" id="Page_168">168</span> the double-headed + snake, etc. Boas obtained one of the latter among the Kwakiutls which + he describes as having a head at each end and a human head in the + middle. It is forty-two inches in length and about six inches wide. + It is “worn in front of the stomach and secured with cords passing + around the waist.” The fabulous animal this affair represents has “the + power to assume the shape of a fish.

The earliest form of pipe was a straight tube seen in + Mexican carvings and also found in various parts of North America. + In the Eastern United States one is found which is designated as the + “Monitor.” I suppose this name came from a resemblance to the famous + first turret man-of-war, the United States ship <cite>Monitor</cite>.

Especially was great stress laid by + Squier and Davis upon certain pipes said to delineate the manatee. + Theories of origin and migration were founded on this supposed + knowledge, and other writers accepting these deductions founded yet + other theories upon them; and they were <em>all</em> wrong. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_173">173</span>The trouble + seems to lie in the fact that the archæologists of some years ago not + only were not naturalists, but they were not accurate and drew their + conclusions from insufficient data. The attitude of the archæologist + of to-day is exceedingly cautious, and before pronouncing a pipe + carving a manatee, or any other animal, he would surely institute + cautious and careful comparisons. This Messrs. Squier and Davis seem + not to have done, nor did any of their followers or successors, being + content, as Henshaw points out, to accept Squier and Davis’s statement + as absolute. Henshaw demolishes their claims and shows that no manatee + is represented and that all the pipe carvings are of birds and animals + that had their range in the country of the Moundbuilders or not far + from its borders. What they called a toucan he identifies as a crow, or + raven, and in this decision several other ornithologists fully agree. + The nasal features are plainly shown, and the “general contour of the + bill is truly corvine.” See figure <a href="#Page_161">page 161</a>.

The manatee is an earless animal with many peculiar features + which do not appear in the Moundbuilder carvings, while ears do + appear. This is what I mean by not giving “character” to carvings. It + is a matter, largely, of perception. The Eskimo appears to have this + perception developed to a considerable degree, and when he delineates + an animal he knows he marks strongly its peculiar features, whatever + else he may do.

A further important conclusion + of Henshaw’s is that “there is no reason for believing that the masks + and sculptures of human faces are more correct likenesses than are the + animal carvings,”<a id="FNanchor_154" href="#Footnote_154" class="fnanchor">[154]</a> which is exactly in accord with my own opinion, + not only as concerns the work of the Moundbuilders, but of every other + Amerind tribe. They were not sculptors of a kind that could reproduce a + likeness to an individual. Their work was always <em>general</em>; they + seldom drew or painted <em>from the object</em>, as an artist or sculptor + of our race does, but they accomplished their result by memory, + imagination, and “rule of thumb.” The surprise of the Europeans at + finding anything at all in the art line, coupled with a wide ignorance + on art matters, has awarded all the Amerind carvings and sculptures, + as is well illustrated in the Moundbuilder case, a false degree of + excellence. The Amerinds of the Mississippi valley probably also carved + wood, but their work in this material has, of course, long ago decayed. + They worked other things, like shell, and some of the shell carvings + are strikingly like Aztec drawings. In this shellwork there are a great + many discs and gorgets, engraved with figures of spiders, rattlesnakes, + birds, geometrical designs, and representations<span class="pagenum" id="Page_175">175</span> of the human figure. + There are also rude shell masks of the human face, but these are + primitive in the extreme. It must be borne in mind that this region was + occupied for long ages, and <em>by many different tribes</em>, so that + the work found is probably from different sources, though all Amerind. + A class of singularly shaped stones is found in the Mississippi + valley and northward, mainly north of the Ohio, to which the name + “bird-stones” has been applied because of their resemblance to avian + forms.

For my part I incline to the + opinion that it is an astronomical affair. The date carved on the top + is the 13th Acatl or <span class="allsmcap">A.D.</span> 1479 of our time, according to the + accepted calculations. In the centre is a head, supposed to represent + the sun, and around it are twenty figures, standing for the twenty days + of the Mexican month.

Each of the eight + divisions is again divided by a kind of crown which is smaller than the + smaller arrow-heads, and then <span class="pagenum" id="Page_183">183</span>there is a still further subdivision + made by a dot, on a line with the base of the crown. This gives + thirty-two points, or exactly the number of points on our mariner’s + compass card, so that this carving can be “boxed” as any compass card + can be.

Their buildings were most elaborately ornamented with + carving in stone, or wood, and with modelling in stucco, and there + were many tablets bearing carved inscriptions. One of the most famous + of these tablets adorned a beautiful building called in modern times + “The Temple of the Cross.”<a id="FNanchor_163" href="#Footnote_163" class="fnanchor">[163]</a> It stands at Palenque. The tablet was + affixed <span class="pagenum" id="Page_186">186</span>to the rear wall of an inner chamber, termed by Europeans + the “Adoratorio,” and was in three sections, the total dimensions of + which were ten feet eight inches wide, by six feet four inches high. + One section of this tablet remained in place at the time of Charnay’s + last visit, one was in Las Playas, and the other, the third, is in the + Smithsonian Institution. At each extreme end of the whole composition + was a mass of the calculiform writing; next came two figures separated + by a peculiar design in the centre, which somewhat resembles a cross, + and it was this design that gave the name to the tablet.

The Amerind to be sure was not a white man, but it must + not be forgotten that the constant holding of the white man’s nose to + the grindstone is not so commendable as it is often said to be, for it + is not choice with him but necessity born of his ways of living and + his great numbers. Put him in comparatively small numbers on a vast + continent rich and fertile and abounding in game, and it is not likely + that he would shut himself up in a factory or in an office, where he + is only a counting machine. The Amerind was as industrious as his + environment demanded. Doubtless had his development not been interfered + with by the Discovery, he might have arrived in time at the same + condition of pressure that compels us to labour incessantly.</p> + + <p>Almost everywhere on this continent are discovered numerous evidences + of Amerind industry and toil. From the brush shelter of the Pai + Ute of Arizona to the vast stone structures, richly ornamented, of + Yucatan, is an immense range, and within these limits are to be + found about every kind of a refuge from the elements that mankind + has been able to devise. Mud, boughs <span class="pagenum" id="Page_195">195</span>caves, wood, adobe, stone, + ice, snow, wicker-work, wattling, skins, in fact, every material and + every possible hole, existing in nature, have been utilised by the + Amerind, and the materials have been given every variety of shape. In + nothing, perhaps, has his struggle with environment, and the moulding + effects of the environment, been more clearly exhibited than in the + forms and materials of the dwellings he has been compelled to invent. + Other evidences of his perseverance and exertion are discerned in + great aqueducts, in long irrigating canals, in reservoirs, in huge + earthworks, and enormous mounds that sometimes rival in magnitude the + giant constructions of Egypt.</p> + + <p>The Amerind dwellings may be divided into three general + classes,—temporary, portable, and fixed. The two classes, temporary and + fixed, only are usually recognised by ethnologists, but it has seemed + to me proper to add the third class, because of the wide use of the + portable tipi, and other forms of tent. The temporary houses, those + abandoned on moving camp and seldom occupied again, may be represented + by the Pai Ute wikiup; the portable, carried from place to place for + years, by the tipi of the Dakotas; the fixed, or those which are + occupied either for an extended period or periodically, by the stone or + adobe house of the Pueblos, or the wood house of the Iroquois, or the + wood and earth house of the Eskimo.<a id="FNanchor_170" href="#Footnote_170" class="fnanchor">[170]</a></p> + + <figure class="figright illowp70" id="i_195"> + <img src="images/i_195.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>PAI UTE WIKIUPS, NORTHERN ARIZONA</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Outside of a natural cave or rock shelter, the wikiup of the Pai <span class="pagenum" id="Page_196">196</span>Ute + exhibits about the lowest type of house used by man.

The Mokis, also allied to him, live not far + to southward in excellent houses, yet he has never attempted to emulate + them.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_196"> + <img src="images/i_196.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>MOKI KISI CONSTRUCTION</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>In the kisi construction of the Mokis we may perhaps see the beginning + of even the wikiup. The kisi is a sort of windbreak and sun-shelter + lightly constructed of boughs and made in two ways, one called kishoni, + being simply poles stuck in the ground in the arc of a circle with + the concave side towards the north, and <span class="pagenum" id="Page_197">197</span>interlaced with twigs and + branches to form a shade. The other kind is built by planting several + posts with crotches at their tops in the ground in the form of a + parallelogram and laying other posts or poles across from crotch to + crotch and covering these with poles to form a platform or roof. + Against the whole, on the south side, poles and branches are erected + to form a shade. These affairs are put up in the fields to protect the + crop tenders when there is no convenient cliff or ledge whereon to + erect a better structure of stone. Doubtless out of these shelters, + now seen in the field structures, originally grew the firm adobe and + stone house, by one step or improvement after another, and probably all + house construction had some such simple beginning. In a forested area, + however, the easy construction of a comfortable house out of poles and + bark would delay any development of a durable stone or adobe structure; + the adobe, indeed, would not be durable in a humid climate. Protection + and subsistence dictated the region a tribe or a stock should occupy, + and the region usually determined the character of the house or + shelter. House building, in its beginnings, is <span class="pagenum" id="Page_198">198</span>largely a result of + environment, and was developed or modified accordingly. The tribes that + were compelled to live in a sterile, dry country, where game and wood + were both scarce, were forced to provide themselves with different + food and different shelter from those which occupied a well-wooded + country abounding in game. A few skins and poles, in the latter case, + would quickly produce a house. In the arid region, however, man was + not provided with such convenient material. His shelter from the sun + cost him much labour and he was obliged to transport his necessary wood + long distances. Additions to the shade to make it more comfortable were + therefore obtained by piling up stones or scraping together the mud + after a rain, and these operations being repeated, a development of + skill was the inevitable result; skill which eventually produced a wall + all round the sun-shelter, with the beams of the latter resting upon + them instead of upon posts.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp83" id="i_197"> + <img src="images/i_197.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>PRIMITIVE AMERIND LADDERS</figcaption> + </figure> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_198"> + <img src="images/i_198.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>A NAVAJO HOUSE</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>It seems, therefore, altogether probable that stone and mud house + building originated in arid regions; but in a region treeless, like + our great plains, the inevitable outcome in the line of a shelter was + the portable tipi (teepee), because there bison hides were at hand for + covering, but poles of the proper sort were difficult to secure and + were carried along. In the forest, neither portable tents nor stone + houses were necessary. It would only be when population was dense + enough to destroy the game and timber, or when a people were forced to + an arid region, that the stone house would develop. The Iroquois was + a forest Amerind, and he built a house of wood that was excellent in + construction and answered his purpose admirably. The Navajo occupying + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_199">199</span>an arid region has been content with a rude shelter of boughs and + branches or with boughs or poles covered with mud. They have never + profited by the example of their Moki neighbours, and built substantial + houses,—one reason, and the chief one, being that their habit of never + occupying again any shelter where death has occurred has precluded it, + for they do not care to bestow great labour on a structure that they + may be called upon any time to abandon. There are then other causes + besides ability, or inability, to build substantially that determine + the character of the Amerind house.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_199"> + <img src="images/i_199.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>A SWEAT HOUSE</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Bandelier states that the Pimas “dwelt in scattered hamlets, the houses + of which combine to-day the mud roof of a typical New Mexican pueblo + with the temporary framework of frail branches characteristic of the + roaming savage.”<a id="FNanchor_171" href="#Footnote_171" class="fnanchor">[171]</a> The roof is dome-shaped, but it is similar in + material to the Pueblo mud roof, so that there we have a sort of a + cross between the Moki field shelter, already mentioned, and the Navajo + hut or hogan. The stock from which the present Pimas descended are + supposed<span class="pagenum" id="Page_200">200</span> to have built the remarkable structure in Arizona known as + <em>Casa Grande</em>, found in ruins by the first explorers. Tribes alter + their methods of building, either from summer to winter or at different + epochs. The Omahas at one time made lodges of wood, at another of + earth, and at still another time they dwelt in tipis of skin. If a + stone-house-building tribe should migrate to a region where neither + loose flat stones nor adobe clay could be readily obtained, they would + be forced to use timber.<a id="FNanchor_172" href="#Footnote_172" class="fnanchor">[172]</a> The Zuñi languages and traditions point + to the occupancy by the Pueblos in early times of brush houses like + those of the Pai Utes.

A number of + families usually lived together, in the same house, or in a group of + rooms or houses. The “long-house” of the Iroquois, called by them + <i>hodénosote</i>, and the clustered fortress-houses of the Pueblos, + are good examples of the results of the practice of the communal + principles adhered to by most of the Amerinds. It is also believed + by some of the best authorities, like Bandelier and Morgan, that the + Mexican and Mayan houses were largely due to the same cause.</p> + + <p>Among the Omahas the tipis were usually grouped according to + gentes.<a id="FNanchor_173" href="#Footnote_173" class="fnanchor">[173]</a> Tipi and wigwam are frequently used by us as synonymous, + and in some dictionaries a picture of a tipi is made to represent a + wigwam.<a id="FNanchor_174" href="#Footnote_174" class="fnanchor">[174]</a> This is an error due to unfamiliarity with different forms + of Amerind dwellings. The tipi is generally a portable structure while + the wigwam is always fixed, and the latter is also of a different + shape. Tipi is a Dakota term and wigwam is Algonquin. Tipi is really + the plural for “house,” the singular being “ti,” and “pi” a termination + indicating plurality.<a id="FNanchor_175" href="#Footnote_175" class="fnanchor">[175]</a> It is constructed by arranging a number, + sometimes as many as twenty or thirty, long poles, previously tied + together near their tops, in a <span class="pagenum" id="Page_201">201</span>circle of about ten or fifteen feet + diameter. This conical frame is then covered with bison hides sewed + together in one sheet, or in modern days with canvas, shaped properly + and laced or pinned together along the middle third of the junction of + the covering mantle. The upper third is left loose, and its pointed + ends are extended up and out by means of outside poles stuck into + pockets in their extreme upper corners, according to the direction of + the wind, to let the smoke escape from the fire built in the middle + of <span class="pagenum" id="Page_202">202</span>the interior. If the wind blows straight at these flaps they are + brought close together. Sometimes an extra skin is adjusted at the top + so that it can be placed on any side to accomplish this object. The + lower third is left open for a doorway, another skin being adjusted + before it with a stick to spread it near its upper end, which end is + attached to the tent. The bottom of the tent cover is held down by + stakes or pins driven into the ground. In case of high winds, stones or + other weights are placed on the bottom edge of the skins to keep them + down. In summer the Omahas, and other tribes of the Dakotas, erected, + when convenient, an elliptical lodge covered with bark, the roof being + rounded and the construction being generally similar to the Algonquin + elliptical wigwam. It was not more than seven feet high, while the + tipi is twelve to twenty or more. These tribes also sometimes built + earth lodges, chiefly for summer use, the roofs of which resembled in + construction those of the Pueblo houses, though they were conical. A + number of posts were set up in the ground to support in their crotches + the transverse beams upon which numerous slender poles, about two + inches in diameter, were laid to reach almost to the top where a hole + for the exit of smoke was left. Against the outer series of posts + all around slabs of wood were set up and the whole was then covered + with earth a foot or two thick after matting and a layer of grass, or + grass alone, was placed on the rafters or roof poles. This lodge was + circular, the roof being conical, and it was entered through a covered + way about ten feet long and five feet wide, the outer opening of which + was protected by hanging bison hides. The supporting poles or posts + were arranged in two concentric circles, in large lodges, the inner set + being higher than the outer. Compartments within opening toward the + fire were formed of willow matting, or skins.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp85" id="i_201"> + <img src="images/i_201.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>AN OMAHA TIPI</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>The regular tipi was decorated in accordance with tribal customs. + Dorsey has published some careful notes on this as on other matters + connected with the tribes of the Dakota stock, and Catlin has also + given descriptions. The decorations were often the result of a vision. + If a man had a vision of the aurora he depicted it on his robes and + tent, the latter having a band of paint around the bottom, above which + was a zigzag border from which, on one side, three stripes were drawn + to the top of the tent, four on the other, and one in the rear. If he + had a vision of the night or of some other “superterrestrial object, + he blackened the upper part of his <span class="pagenum" id="Page_204">204</span>tent and a small portion on each + side of the entrance.” Sometimes a star was also indicated, and night + was represented by a black band above the middle or at the bottom. A + tent similar to the Dakota tipi is in wide use among the Amerinds. + Morgan states that the Dakotas were living in bark-covered houses when + first discovered, in villages, in the present state of Minnesota, + and that when they were driven “upon the plains by an advancing + white population, but after they had become possessed of horses, + they invented a skin tent eminently adapted to their present nomadic + condition. It is superior to any other in use among the American + aborigines from its roominess, its portable character, and the facility + with which it can be erected and struck.”<a id="FNanchor_176" href="#Footnote_176" class="fnanchor">[176]</a> While this is probably + accurate as concerns the Dakotas, it is likely that other tribes + invented a similar tent for themselves, before the appearance of the + Dakotas on the plains.<a id="FNanchor_177" href="#Footnote_177" class="fnanchor">[177]</a> Three tipis among the Omahas were sacred, + and sheltered three sacred objects, the Sacred Pole, the Sacred White + Buffalo-Cow Skin, and the Sacred Bag. These are all now in the Peabody + Museum at Cambridge.

One form is made by planting elastic poles in the + ground and bringing their tops together, and binding the whole with + horizontal poles. It is unlike the tipi, because it is not portable, + because the poles are flexible, and because the sides curve out from + bottom to top instead of being straight lines. It is covered with + birchbark. It is from ten to sixteen feet in diameter on the ground, + and from six to ten feet high. The fire was built, as in the tipi, in + the middle of the floor in a slight depression, and the usual outlet + for smoke was left at the top. “Such a lodge,” says Morgan, “would + accommodate, in the aboriginal plan of living, two and sometimes three + married pairs with their children.”<a id="FNanchor_178" href="#Footnote_178" class="fnanchor">[178]</a> The Menominee-Algonquin form + of wigwam was made by planting in the ground about three feet <span class="pagenum" id="Page_205">205</span>apart, + approximating the form of an ellipse, strong saplings some two inches + in diameter, leaving at each end an opening for a doorway. The poles + are then bent over toward each other and tied in an arch with strips of + bark. Horizontal poles are tied on to the upright ones for stiffening, + and the frame is then covered with bark or mats overlapping each other + like shingles. The usual smoke outlet is left in the top. A mat curtain + takes the place of a door. There were seldom, or never, regular doors + in any Amerind houses on the continent before the Discovery, the + opening being closed by curtains or mats. Another Menominee shelter, + described by Hoffman, was made by “putting five or six saplings on each + side of a parallelogram; the ends are left open, and the top of each + sapling on a given side is then bound down over its opposite fellow to + form a roof somewhat resembling a wagon-top. Horizontal saplings are + then bound around the framework to make the structure secure, and over + all are laid, longitudinally, a series of long strips of pine bark the + upper pieces overlapping those below, while a large piece is placed + over the highest part of the roof, which thus sheds the rain or melting + snow.... The bedding is spread on the ground and usually covers the + entire floor.”<a id="FNanchor_179" href="#Footnote_179" class="fnanchor">[179]</a></p> + + <p>The eastern portion of the continent below Labrador, being + well-forested, the Amerind houses there appear to have been entirely of + wood, or sometimes of wood and mud combined. For this reason nothing + of any of them, except occasional earth rings, is to be found and, + so far as remains of houses are concerned, our wonderful, surpassing + Moundbuilders appear to have had no houses. Turning to other Amerinds, + however, who occupied the country when the whites arrived, we glean a + fair idea of what the houses of the Mississippi valley may have been + at their best. They varied in design in the same locality, of course, + according to the tribe, in the same way that I have mentioned that in + the South-west we find to-day Amerinds living in the most primitive + form of dwelling not many miles away from others living in high types.</p> + + <p>Some of the Mississippi valley houses were doubtless excellent + structures though built of wood, or of wattling plastered with + mud. Many of the mounds, squares, and circles were connected <span class="pagenum" id="Page_206">206</span>with + buildings, generally forming the foundations for dwellings or other + structures as in other parts of the continent.<a id="FNanchor_180" href="#Footnote_180" class="fnanchor">[180]</a> In other words, + they were often platforms for houses. The reasons for building a house + on a platform raised above the surrounding lands might be many; one + simple one was a desire to keep the floor dry in wet weather. The floor + was earth, and earth on a level during long rains got uncomfortably + damp if not wet. It would be natural in building, after such lessons, + to elevate the floor of the house, which was done by rearing a platform + of earth. This gave good drainage, and besides in a malarial region + would be more healthful, and furthermore added to the defensive + qualities. The habitations being built upon platforms, it would not + do to build sacred structures on low ground. Man seldom looks down + upon his spiritual constructions. Hence the higher the sacred building + could be placed, the more sacred it seemed, and the huge flat-topped + mounds of the Mississippi valley and Mexico were the result. Some of + the Florida Amerinds were still living in dwellings reared on platforms + of this kind, and so were others in the Southern United States, at the + time of the first visits of the whites. The mounds, as a rule, are on + the bottom lands along river courses, though in places where there are + higher terraces these have frequently been chosen. Thomas quotes the + following passage from Garcilasso: “The town and the houses of the + cacique Ossachile are like those of other caciques in Florida.... <span class="pagenum" id="Page_207">207</span>The + Indians try to place their villages on elevated sites; but inasmuch + as in Florida there are not many sites of this kind where they can + conveniently build, they erect elevations themselves in the following + manner: They select the spot and carry there a quantity of earth, which + they form into a kind of platform two or three pikes in height, the + summit of which is large enough to give room for twelve, fifteen, or + twenty houses, to lodge the cacique and his attendants. At the foot + of this elevation they mark out a square place, according to the size + of the village, around which the leading men have their houses.... + To ascend the elevation they have a straight passageway from bottom + to top, fifteen or twenty feet wide. Here steps are made by massive + beams, and others are planted firmly in the ground to serve as walls. + On all other sides of the platform the sides are cut steep.”<a id="FNanchor_181" href="#Footnote_181" class="fnanchor">[181]</a> + Thomas quotes further from Garcilasso: “The chief, whose name was also + Guaxule, came out with five hundred men to meet him and took him in the + village (pueblo) in which were three hundred houses, and lodged him in + his own. This house stood on a high mound (cerro) similar to others we + have already mentioned. Round about was a roadway sufficiently broad + for six men to walk abreast.”<a id="FNanchor_182" href="#Footnote_182" class="fnanchor">[182]</a> Again he quotes Le Page Du Pratz, + who visited the Natchez in 1720: “As I was an intimate friend of the + sovereign of the Natchez he showed me their temple, which is about + thirty feet square, and stands on an artificial mount about eight feet + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_208">208</span>high, by the side of a small river.”<a id="FNanchor_183" href="#Footnote_183" class="fnanchor">[183]</a> There was also still another + reason for building on mounds or elevated platforms; the reason, or + at least one great reason, why the Mayas and Mexicans built on them, + namely the desire to protect the foundations. In Louisiana the Taensas, + in the time of La Salle, built of “sun-baked mud mixed with straw, + arched over with a dome-shaped roof.”<a id="FNanchor_184" href="#Footnote_184" class="fnanchor">[184]</a> Now a structure of this + kind if reared on ordinary ground would soon be destroyed by the rains + and moisture sapping its foundations, but by placing it on an elevated + platform, where its footing would be comparatively dry, it would endure + a long time.

These houses were fifty or more feet long, and + the matting with which they were <span class="pagenum" id="Page_210">210</span>covered could be readily removed + to let in the sun and air. As a rule the villages were surrounded + by palisades. The Iroquois, as well as most other Amerinds, lived + in permanent villages, which were at first stockaded. They used + three kinds of houses; a triangular lodge made of poles with bark + for a covering, used in hunting, and the <i>ganosote</i> or smaller + bark house constructed in the same way as the third kind, the + <i>hodénosote</i> or “long-house,” which <span class="pagenum" id="Page_212">212</span>was built to accommodate a + number of families. This was sometimes a hundred feet long, and from it + came the name <i>Hodenosaunee</i> by which the great League of the Five + (Six) Nations was known to the world and to themselves. It was made by + planting poles in the ground and binding others across them to make + a strong frame of the shape of a parallelogram, upon which a roof of + triangular pattern was built out of poles covered with bark. Sometimes + the roof was round like that of many Algonquin tribes, and that of the + ganosote was very frequently round. The height of the sides was about + ten feet. The ganosote was about fifteen by twenty feet and fifteen + feet high, with inside a kind of double berth built against the longer + walls like the berths in a ship. It would accommodate eight persons. + The entrance was closed by skins or by bark hung on wooden hinges. + The covering was bark held in place by an outer set of poles tied + through to the inside ones. The long-house was divided into a number + of chambers six or eight feet wide with a passageway through all from + end to end where the doors were. “Between each four apartments, two on + a side, was a fire-pit in the center of the hall, used in common by + their occupants.... Raised bunks were constructed around the walls of + each apartment for beds.”<a id="FNanchor_186" href="#Footnote_186" class="fnanchor">[186]</a> These structures constituted the village + which was surrounded by a palisade, sometimes a double or triple row. + The houses were placed without arrangement; and when the league grew + powerful the palisade was dispensed with.

He has done considerable; amongst other things + he devised the only true arch found on the continent, and constructed + one of the most admirable and unique dwellings in the world. This he + built out of the snow which fell about him and prevented him from + securing other material. The invention of the snow house by the Eskimo, + or Innuit, as they call themselves, was one of the greatest triumphs + over environment man has ever accomplished. I refer, of course, to + the perfected snow house, the dome-shaped <i>iglugeak</i>, commonly + called by us <i>igloo</i> or <i>iglu</i>. <i>Iglu</i> is the Innuit + generic term for “house,” the distinctive name for snow house being + <i>iglugeak</i>. This snow house is begun by selecting a suitable deep + drift that is compact enough to permit homogeneous blocks to be taken + from it, with the snow-knife, which is a bone tool shaped like a short + sword. Latterly steel saws are employed when they have them. In the pit + formed by removal of blocks of snow the builder works at his <span class="pagenum" id="Page_218">218</span>walls, + the bottom of the excavation finally forming the floor of the house. + The first block is bevelled down to a wedge shape with the point toward + the beginning, and the worker goes on round his circle, and when he + comes again to the wedge his wall rises upon the first portion and + continues thus in a spiral fashion to the top, constantly narrowing + till at last one block fills the opening. It takes two to adjust this, + though one may build a small house successfully to that last point. By + building spirally and therefore continuously, there is always support + on two sides for the last block laid. The edges are slanted at the + same time to bring the tiers gradually toward the centre. Joints and + holes are filled with snow, though a small hole is left at the top for + ventilation. As the heating of this house is done with lamps there is + little smoke. For camping purposes a small snow house is built, seven + feet diameter and five feet high, in about two hours. When made for + permanent use the house is about twelve feet high and fifteen feet + diameter. Plenty of light comes through the snow, but a window of ice + or seal intestine is often placed over the entrance, which is reached + by a more or less extended passage, with vaults for storage, by the way.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp80" id="i_218"> + <img src="images/i_218.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>SECTION OF SNOW IGLU</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>But though this house is so cleverly built, and is warm, and proof + against everything but mild weather, the Innuit, if he can, will build + a permanent winter house of drift wood, stones, earth, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_219">219</span>and sod and + whale-ribs.

There are in these places thousands of cavate lodges. + They average in size two or three rooms, sometimes communicating + by a ledge, sometimes, often, in fact, with excavated connections. + Some of the Verde group<a id="FNanchor_200" href="#Footnote_200" class="fnanchor">[200]</a> are cut back a long distance into the + rock—forty or fifty feet. The rooms are both oblong and circular, about + seven feet high and ten by seventeen feet in size, or eight or ten + feet diameter, according to the shape. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_229">229</span>There were no chimneys, the + fire-pits being near the entrances. Nor were there any windows, the + doorway being the only opening to the outside. Floors were levelled by + filling depressions with adobe clay and low ridges were built up of + the same material, probably to keep the inmates off the bottom, which + must have sometimes been damp.

Depressions at the back + walls appear to have been made to hold water, and doubtless at times + there was a “seepage” of considerable amount, as I have suggested + regarding the open conchoidal caves occupied by the Cliff-dwellers. + What appear to be stepping-stones are found in some entrances, as + if water at times flowed out. The Verde group are in a soft grey + sandstone, the Rio Grande in tufa, the San Francisco in cinder hills. + These cavate dwellings are simply another form of Amerind residence + due to necessity or expedience.<a id="FNanchor_201" href="#Footnote_201" class="fnanchor">[201]</a> In other places there are some + that were undoubtedly merely farming outlooks, occupied only during + the crop season, just as there are cliff houses for this purpose, and + also houses erected singly in open valleys. But many cavate lodges were + actual residences for a period of years, owing to circumstances of + one kind or another. The Cliff-dwellers may still be found among the + Tarahumaris of northern Mexico. Schwatka describes some who “had walled + up the outward face of a cave nearly to the top, leaving the latter for + ventilation.” Many small cliff-dwellings in other places were so made + to allow the smoke to escape. That is, the wall along the outer edge + of the cavity was not carried quite up to the rock above, so that the + smoke could drift out. There was, therefore, no roof over the dwelling, + but it was sheltered by the overhanging rock. Many more examples of + this adaptation of the dwelling to circumstances might be added.</p> + + <p>There are ruins scattered all over the South-west, many of which were + built by the same set of Amerinds, and do not represent a vanished + population. Still, I believe that the population was at one time much + greater than it was when our acquaintance with it began. Internecine + wars resulting from a diminution of water-supply; diseases introduced + by the whites; and also the attacks and absorption of tribes by the + wilder Amerinds, being some of the causes of the diminution. It would + not be possible to describe even all the prominent ruins here, but + I will mention <span class="pagenum" id="Page_230">230</span>several. Beginning easterly of the Rio Grande, we + find the Pecos Ruins first of importance. There are also remains of a + large adobe Catholic church and a convent here, not finally and fully + abandoned till about 1840. The ruins consist of two chief buildings + on a low table, surrounded by an artificial wall. The buildings were + in the form of rectangles, with courts within, one 55 by 440 feet, + and the other 170 by 350 feet. In places, they were three or four + stories high, terraced, Pueblo fashion. The construction was slightly + different from the ordinary, as the upper floor and roof beams rested + mainly on heavy upright posts set into the walls, and not directly + on the walls themselves. The whole framework was thus independent of + the enclosing walls, very much as our modern steel frame buildings + are. The walls were of sandstone slabs, and were from one to two feet + thick. Another group of important ruins, and about the finest specimens + of the stone buildings of the ancient Pueblos, is that of the Chaco, + in north-western New Mexico.<a id="FNanchor_202" href="#Footnote_202" class="fnanchor">[202]</a> There are eleven chief ruins, and + many smaller ones. The principal ruins were once houses three, four, + or perhaps five stories high, all built of sandstone slabs and blocks + obtained from <span class="pagenum" id="Page_232">232</span>the débris of the cliffs. Some of the walls are still + standing to the height of thirty or forty feet. All are not uniform in + the way the stones are laid, the variation being due to building at + different times, and to a variation of the available supply of slabs. + The stones were usually laid so closely, and so carefully chinked with + spalls, that the outside of the walls resembles a smooth mosaic; though + adobe mortar and rubble were freely used in the interior. Lintels, + as was generally the case throughout America, were of wood. The date + of the abandonment of these buildings is not known.

In the Rio Grande + valley the adobe is made into large bricks, sun-dried and laid up + with a mortar of the same material. Otherwise the villages are much + the same as those described. One of the best modern examples of the + adobe construction is the village of Taos in north-eastern New Mexico. + (See illustration <a href="#i_003">page 3</a>.) Another method of employing adobe is seen + in the famous ruin called <i>Casa Grande</i>, near Florence, Arizona, + which our government recently repaired so that it will endure for a + considerable time. This was made by the cajon method; that is, the + adobe mud was rammed into large chests or boxes of wicker, without + top or bottom, and when the material was sufficiently dried to hold + its shape the frame was removed and the operation repeated till the + wall was finished. The ruin referred to is only one of a number that + were still standing in an area of about sixty-five acres in 1744, + when Father Sedelmair saw them. He described the present ruin as + having four stories, but only three are now distinguishable at the + highest part. Its age is unknown. Its builders are supposed to have + been the ancestors of the present Pimas, though probably there was + considerable difference in the matter of culture. Father Kino, in 1694, + was the first European to see the place and it was a ruin then. It + was doubtless a communal dwelling like all the other large structures + of the Amerinds of this region. Its size on the ground is forty-three + by fifty-nine feet. Partitions three or four feet thick divide the + interior into five rooms, the middle one having higher walls than the + rest. The adobe blocks are two feet high, three to five long, and + three or four across, and are almost as hard as sandstone while dry. + There may have been upper stories of plastered wattled posts. Another + famous ruin similar to this is the <i>Casas Grandes</i> in Chihuahua, + Mexico. It is built in much the same way as <i>Casa Grande</i>, and + there are more buildings there standing. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_236">236</span>Probably there were at + one time a great many structures of this kind in that region, and + there may be others still standing in less explored parts. In the + Salt River valley many of the buildings were of a somewhat different + type again, as concerns their wall construction.<a id="FNanchor_205" href="#Footnote_205" class="fnanchor">[205]</a> The Hemenway + Expedition excavated a great many sites and found that the walls were + often adobe rammed in between two series of posts wattled with reeds + and cross-braced with sticks, the outer part of the wattled frames + being plastered with adobe mortar. The thinner walls were constructed + with only one line of wattled posts plastered on both sides, after + the manner of the Mexican construction known as jacal, which is a set + of poles fixed in the ground and then plastered on one or both sides + with mud. The upper stories of some of the Rio Grande structures in + the early times were made of wood probably plastered this way, which + explains why in the southern part of New Mexico there are not now found + higher standing walls of ruins or evidences of several stories.<a id="FNanchor_206" href="#Footnote_206" class="fnanchor">[206]</a> + Examples also have been seen in South-western Colorado, where a kind of + wicker-work was built on the top of a wall and plastered on both sides. + In the Salt River ruins the existence of the wood-work was indicated + by the cavities left by its decay. There were also other structures + built without the wattled frames. The cajon and pisé construction are + very much alike, one being a Spanish and the other a French term, + except that any pounded or rammed earth construction might be pisé, + while the cajon is distinctly made by ramming earth into a box.<a id="FNanchor_207" href="#Footnote_207" class="fnanchor">[207]</a> + Therefore the <i>Casa Grande</i> would be a clear example of cajon, + while the Salt River construction of adobe rammed between the wattled + frames would be pisé; and the plastered wicker-work would be jacal. + The pisé and cajon method is very old all over the world. It is still + to be found in France and England. In France the pisé box is about + three yards long, one yard high, and about half a yard wide. The + readiness with which the Amerind took advantage of his resources in the + architectural line is again apparent in <span class="pagenum" id="Page_238">238</span>these great adobe structures + of the Amerinds of northern Mexico and the South-western United States. + It is not sensible, therefore, when some style of construction is + discovered differing from that which we have been accustomed to see, to + ascribe it to some mysterious race.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp90" id="i_235"> + <img src="images/i_235.jpg" alt=""> + <div class="attr">W.

For a full description of many + of these buildings the reader is referred again to the admirable work + of Maudsley. The Mayas were the greatest architects as well as the + greatest artists and greatest in almost everything of all the Amerinds, + and if Goodman is correct in his rendering of some of their chronology + they occupied the region more than ten thousand years.<a id="FNanchor_215" href="#Footnote_215" class="fnanchor">[215]</a> Mound-like + foundations supported the buildings, which generally rose as from a + terrace, though sometimes the mound was very high and very steep, with + small space around the building crowning it. At Copan,<a id="FNanchor_216" href="#Footnote_216" class="fnanchor">[216]</a> which was + in ruins before the Spaniards arrived, there is a great main terrace + from which mounds rise, the latter bearing the buildings. The casing + of the mound and the walls of buildings are of nicely dressed oblong + stones usually without mortar. The joints were not broken here, nor in + other Maya work. The mound slopes were terraced at five-foot intervals + and the steps were about five feet high. The so-called “triangular + arch” probably existed here as it did at the other Maya ruins. It + was made by advancing the courses, several feet above the base of an + opening, gradually toward each other till they met above, where a large + slab was usually laid across to bind the whole together. The ceilings + or roofs of many rooms in Maya ruins were wholly made this way. It has + also been called a corbel arch, though it is, in fact, not an arch at + all. See illustrations, pages <a href="#i_210">210</a>, <a href="#i_235">235</a>, and <a href="#i_237">237</a>. There was no arch + in Amerindian architecture besides the one the Eskimo constructed in + his snow hut. The rooms are generally long and narrow in all the Maya + structures and no windows existed. The Maya inability to span wide + spaces was the cause <span class="pagenum" id="Page_244">244</span>of the narrow rooms and buildings. At Uxmal the + two main rooms of the so-called Governor’s Palace are sixty feet long + and only eleven to thirteen feet wide. The walls of all the structures + are very thick, though certain walls, as the rear ones, are usually + thicker than the others and have no openings, the latter, as a rule, + being along one, two, or three sides. This was a probable survival of + earlier defensive constructions similar to the communal fortresses of + the Puebloan type as particularly exemplified in the ruins of the Chaco + in New Mexico, where there were no rear openings. See ground plans, + <a href="#Page_232">page 232</a>. At Palenque are some fine examples of the Maya construction. + The largest is called the palace and is 180 feet wide, 228 feet long, + and 25 feet high, with fourteen doorways on the side and eleven at the + ends. It was one story in height, as were all Maya buildings. There is + a vast amount of carving and stucco modelling around them. One of the + most unique constructions is that called the “Temple of the Cross,” + number one, or two, or three, by different explorers, there being two + structures much alike.

The roof was something like our gambrel type, being the + same all around without gables, with a level platform about three feet + wide along the ridge, from which arose a peculiar stone and stucco, + latticed, superstructure in two stories, the first about seven and the + second about eight feet high.

The human figures and animal carvings and + forms seen in the Yucatan ruins are absent. The rooms are the same, + long and narrow, with no openings except the doors. One of the most + unusual features is a great hall 12 by 121 feet, with six round stone + columns standing at intervals of about fifteen feet down the middle. + See illustrations, pages <a href="#i_009">9</a> and <a href="#i_209">209</a>. These average about twelve feet + high and nine feet in circumference. The walls are forty-eight inches + thick, of roughly broken stones laid in courses in plenty of adobe + mortar, the outer parts of all the buildings being faced by slabs of + stone containing the ornamentation, which is wholly geometrical. Some + adobe brick walls are forty-six inches thick. The columns are out of + the common because they are single stones, but built up piers are often + used in Pueblo architecture, and the North-west coast Amerinds use the + column in wood very frequently to support their large longitudinal + rafters. One of these which I sketched in an Alaskan house at Cape Fox + is given in the illustration, <a href="#Page_162">page 162</a>. The roofs at Mitla were wooden + beams covered with earth and stone slabs. See illustration, <a href="#Page_230">page 230</a>. + There are other ruins all through Honduras and Nicaragua and the rest + of Central America. Squier says: “In Honduras, as also in San Salvador, + I heard of remains and monuments equal to those of Copan in extent and + interest.”</p> + + <p>At the time the Spaniards came into Yucatan the Amerinds, according to + Herrera, were dwelling in timber huts thatched with grass or something + similar. The dense unexplored forests of the Yucatan region are + filled with ruins which have never been seen by white men, at least + that is the supposition of archæologists like Saville and Charnay. + The Maya house was divided, according to Landa, from side to side by + a wall with doors, the back part being sleeping quarters. The front + portion was whitewashed or painted in designs and was open the whole + length, with low <span class="pagenum" id="Page_247">247</span>sheltering eaves. In the rear there was a doorway + leading from that part. A lengthwise division into two main parts was + a characteristic of almost all the Maya buildings now found in ruins. + The structures were generally wide and shallow, and subdivided into a + great many rooms. It is more in the ornamentation of the buildings and + the stone roofs than in anything else that they differ from structures + farther north. The interior masonry is frequently a rubble, with + the dressed and carved stones on the outside as a facing.

This hearth, which is an inch + or so in width and about a quarter of an inch thick, is held securely + down by the foot or knee, and the drill stick rapidly revolved back + and forth in an upright position, with the lower end in one of the + cavities. The revolving motion is secured by the palms of the hands, + which are allowed to slide down the shaft to gain downward pressure, + each time being brought quickly back to the top for a repetition of + the motion, so that it is practically continuous. A pinch of sand is + sometimes added to increase the friction and create dust more speedily. + The superheated dust, or spark, is skilfully flung into the tinder of + moss or rubbed-up bark and a few puffs of breath bring a flame.

The old Eskimo drill is of this + description, produced probably because the surroundings compelled + swifter and harder revolutions of the stick to obtain the desired + results. A further development is the bow-drill, used by the Eskimo and + others, where instead of pulling the ends of the string a bent piece + of wood, or bow, is attached to them, the movement of which back and + forth rotates the stick. This is used with a mouthpiece for a socket. + Another form, but one seldom used for fire-getting, is the pump-drill, + where the stick connected with the ends of the cord runs across the + drill stock, and sometimes has the stock passing through it, the string + being so adjusted around the stock that an up-and-down motion of the + crossbar imparts a rotary, reciprocating movement to the stock.

In a densely wooded country, a long bow would often be + in the way, and this and other reasons would make it shorter. The + average length is about forty inches. The string is made of <span class="pagenum" id="Page_256">256</span>sinew, + well twisted and, at the ends, braided. Arrows are of different kinds + in the same tribe: some blunt or with wood points sharpened for bird + shooting, or for other small animals; arrows adapted for deer; for + large fowl; and others still for heavy game like bison or bear. The + head of the game arrow was set in the plane of the string—that is, the + notch was quite or nearly in line with the head, and, when adjusted + to the bowstring, stood at a slight angle, the bow always being held + diagonally across the shooter’s body. The head would thus strike + between an animal’s ribs. War arrows, on the other hand, had their + notches so placed that the head of the arrow went from the bow in a + horizontal position, because the ribs of a man lie that way.<a id="FNanchor_225" href="#Footnote_225" class="fnanchor">[225]</a> It + will be seen that the head was not at right angles to the notch, for in + that case it would not have been projected horizontally. The adjustment + of the notch to produce the desired position would always be regulated + by the habit of holding the bow. Since the rifle came into use, little + attention probably has been given to this point. The arrow-shaft is + round, about a quarter inch in diameter, and from twenty to thirty + inches long, though some are longer.<a id="FNanchor_226" href="#Footnote_226" class="fnanchor">[226]</a> Long ones are usually made + of reed with a hardwood tip, upon which the head is mounted; this, as + noted above, now being of hoop iron. Stone heads formerly were the + chief method of tipping the shaft. In 1875 I purchased a number of + these from an old arrow-maker of the Pai Ute tribe. The other end of + the shaft is feathered. This is done by attaching split feathers to + it with the web cut narrow, for the purpose of giving it guidance. + This feathering is a distinguishing feature, and an expert can place + the maker of an arrow by the style of feathering. Feathers of birds + of prey are almost invariably employed. The number is sometimes two, + but generally three. They are attached by strands of moist sinew + wound around the ends and when the sinew is dry it becomes a smooth + firm band. Three zigzag grooves are scratched down the shaft, some + say not, as popularly believed, for the purpose of aiding the flow of + blood, but because this is the lightning symbol, and is intended to + endow the arrow with speed and certainty. But Dorsey says the Omahas + told him their object was to increase flow of blood from the wound. + Poisoned arrows were made by dipping <span class="pagenum" id="Page_257">257</span>the points into rotting liver or + rattlesnake venom, etc. These were used for war. The arrow-shaft when + first made is by no means always straight, but the Amerind invented a + piece of horn or stone with perforations through which the heated shaft + is drawn till it is straight. See illustration at head of this chapter. + Quivers are all very similar in plan also, usually comprising a case + for the bow, one for the arrows, and in some tribes a pouch containing + arrow-making tools. The Eskimo make their quivers of sealskin, other + tribes use cat, deer, panther, otter, etc. The spear doubtless preceded + the bow and arrow.

In the plate armour, “small, flat, + oblong plates of ivory or bone pierced near the edges with from four + to six or more holes,” were lashed in series with rawhide thongs. + The coat, made in this way of a number of rows, was tied at the back + with thongs, or had a toggle fastening. Some of these plates in iron + and in copper have been dug up at Cape Prince of Wales and on St. + Lawrence Island. This armour is very similar to that of the Japanese, + and if it was wholly an imported idea, it was probably a comparatively + recent one. The Tlinkits used the slat armour and also a rod armour, + the former being made of very hard wood fastened with cords of sinew. + A Tlinkit greave has also been found among the collections in the + National Museum, so that it is probable that the North-west coast + Amerinds protected arms and legs as well as body.

The rod armour was formed by sewing or lacing together + with native twine a series of straight slender rods sufficient to + pass around the body and tie in front, with places for the arms, + and straps over the shoulders. The skin armour was simply a sort of + heavy, sleeveless shirt made of thick hide, doubled and reinforced + and otherwise rendered as nearly as possible proof against arrow or + spear. In Mexico, where the padded cotton armour was chiefly worn, + a breastplate of the same material was put on under it. The common + Aztec soldiers wore armour of “reeds, grass, and hides, or ’nequen + cloth, coated with India-rubber.”<a id="FNanchor_229" href="#Footnote_229" class="fnanchor">[229]</a> Veytia says the “private + soldiers painted the upper part of the body to represent armour, but + from the waist to the thighs they wore short drawers, and over them + fastened around the waist a kind of kilt that reached to the knee, and + availed them somewhat for defence.

Here thousands of cubic yards of earth had been removed to reach + the flint beneath. “Acre after acre has been so thoroughly excavated + that scarcely a single foot of earth and stone retains its original + position.

The + stone arrow-heads of the Pai Utes twenty-five years ago were small, + but the smallest were often attached to the longest arrows. The method + of securing the head to the shaft was generally similar everywhere. A + notch being cut in the end of the stick, a small quantity of pitch, + asphaltum, fish, or animal glue, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_266">266</span>or cement, was placed in it, + warmed, and the stone head squeezed into position, where it was held + by wrappings of wet sinew thread which, drying, gave it a firm grip, + and yet when moistened by blood would allow the head to come off in + a wound. The sinew was variously applied, according to the shape of + the head. The triangular head was held on by passing the sinew over + the outer edges, while in that with a tang, which went well down into + the shaft, the sinew was wound round and round the shaft and over the + tang at the same time. All iron heads were made and mounted in the + latter way. In the leaf-shaped head with deep notches, the wrapping + was thoroughly protected by the depth of the notches through which + it passed. The hafting of knives was much like that of arrows and + spears, the ordinary stone knife looking much like a spear-head, and + probably some implements <span class="pagenum" id="Page_267">267</span>that are classed as spear-heads were knives + instead.

Bone, wood, and ivory were + utilised for the shaft, and a specially unique one was made from the + single horn of the narwhal. Spears or lances were also used for land + animals before they had firearms. They are now pretty well supplied + with the latest Winchester rifles. The harpoon to-day has a blade of + thin iron or steel set into an ivory or bone piece which has a hole + through it that retains in place a sealskin thong to which a line + is attached. The bottom of the ivory piece has a socket in it that + fits on to the lance shaft. When the harpoon strikes an animal’s body + the head of it then hangs there on the end of the line, coming loose + from the shaft. There are various forms of the harpoon for different + animals, and they are also of different sizes according to the weight + and strength of the owner. Formerly the blades were of slate, jade, + or flint. Floats of sealskin inflated are used to mark the place + of a capture, so that carcass and harpoon can be easily recovered. + The Eskimo had a wolf-killer that was ingenious. A stout piece of + whalebone, about a foot long and half an inch broad, was sharpened<span class="pagenum" id="Page_268">268</span> at + the ends and then frozen in a piece of blubber in a Z shape. The wolf + swallowing it, its own heat released the whalebone, which penetrated + the sides of the stomach and killed the animal. Each tribe had a varied + assortment of implements according to locality and occupation, and it + would not be possible even to mention them all in a single chapter, so + I shall give only the most important. The bird spear of the Eskimo is a + singular weapon. The shaft is laid on a short board fifteen to eighteen + inches long, which has a groove to receive the shaft, a handle, and a + hole for the first finger. A spike in the shaft prevents slipping, and + when the board is hurled forward by a strong wrist motion, the fingers + let go the shaft, which, leaving the board, flies forward to the mark + with considerable force. These spears are also used by the Aleuts. + The Eskimo also use for bird killing six or seven ivory balls, each + attached to a string about thirty inches long, the ends of the strings + being supplied with tufts of feathers. The balls spread apart in flying + through the air and cover a wide space. For war all tribes had clubs + and tomahawks. The Mexicans used some with blades of obsidian set in + both edges.</p> + + <p>In the line of throwing weapons is the <i>pūtchkohu</i> of the Mokis, + a first cousin to the Australian boomerang. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_269">269</span>It is effective at thirty + or forty yards, but does not return.

Many Amerinds used + nets for fishing, and the Eskimo make a fine, strong one of sealskin, + with which they catch the seal itself as it rushes after prey in the + waters near some beach where the net is stretched. I obtained one that + is fifty feet long and about six feet wide, with meshes seven inches + square.</p> + + <p>For agricultural operations the Amerinds had various tools, which, + though primitive, answered the requirements. Of the plough, or anything + approaching it, they had no knowledge, the hoe being their chief + implement. This was made of flint, the shoulder-blade of a deer or + other animal, a turtle shell or some similar object. Spades were also + made, often of wood, and in the Mississippi region of flint, but these + are seldom found in the Atlantic division. In the Moki country corn is + still planted with a dibble, a stick sharpened at one end and having on + one side a projection to receive the foot, which pressed it into the + soil. Having cultivated a crop of maize, the grain had to be reduced + to meal before it would serve for winter use, and for this purpose + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_272">272</span>mortars of wood and stone were used, and also the <i>metates</i>, + or mealing stones. Other substances besides corn were also ground in + the mortars, as seeds of grass, dried fish, nuts, grasshoppers, paint, + etc. Sometimes natural depressions in rocks were utilised, but oftener + small bowlders were worked into the desired shape and stone pestles + were wrought out to accompany them. The cavity was of various depths. + Those tribes growing little corn made mortars neither large nor deep, + and some, like the Pai Utes, growing no corn at all, ground their grass + seeds on a flat stone, while those relying chiefly on corn for food, + like the Pueblos and the Mexicans, in the early days made large oblong + mortars, of hard basalt cut out to a depth of six or eight inches, with + sides not more than an inch and a half or two inches thick. While these + were really mortars, the grain was not pounded in them, but crushed + and rubbed into meal by means of another stone, flat and oblong, about + four and a half inches wide and some ten inches long and an inch or + two thick. When the Pueblos and Mexicans settled in permanent houses + they departed from the old way of hollowing out these stones, and used + instead a flat slab, set up at an angle of about thirty-five degrees in + a frame of slabs of stone, or of wood, about six or eight inches deep. + Several of these slabs were fixed in a row, usually three, and were + each made to produce different degrees of fineness by the girls behind + till at the last stone, or metate,<a id="FNanchor_240" href="#Footnote_240" class="fnanchor">[240]</a> as they are usually called, the + meal was of the required condition. See <a href="#Page_194">page 194</a>. The Eastern Amerinds + usually pounded their corn with stone pestles in wooden mortars. Some + Western tribes used the same method.

It was a necessity with the Eskimo, while tribes living in + wooded regions would have no use for it. They could obtain light from + camp-fires, especially with the addition of pitch pine. But the Eskimo + lamp is primarily a heating apparatus. What need then for Amerinds, + who had wood, to bother with a lamp, for which oil must be prepared? + Besides this consideration was the one of cleanliness, for the lamp is + very dirty, and even Amerinds have standards. “Far more remarkable than + being the unique possessors of the lamp in the Western Hemisphere,” + says Hough, “the Eskimo present the spectacle of a people depending + for their very existence upon this <span class="pagenum" id="Page_275">275</span>household belonging. Indeed, it is + a startling conclusion that the lamp has determined the occupancy of + an otherwise uninhabitable region by the Eskimo, or, in other words, + the distribution of a race.”<a id="FNanchor_243" href="#Footnote_243" class="fnanchor">[243]</a> When fuel can be obtained, which is + the case often in summer, fires are used instead of the lamp. This + fuel is peat, grass, driftwood, or shrubs. The lamp is generally of + soapstone, though some have been made of clay, earthenware, bone, or + wood. The usual shape is something like a clam shell, though they are + sometimes oval or pear-shaped, or round. They are modified in form + according to the use required of them, the traveller’s lamp being much + smaller necessarily than the ordinary lamp of the iglu. The lamps vary + in length from two or three inches to about two feet, and in width from + one half inch to nine or ten <span class="pagenum" id="Page_276">276</span>inches, while the height is from less + than an inch to four or five. The smallest specimens are toy lamps of + the children, and the next in size the traveller’s lamp. Small lamps + are often balanced but the large ones are not, but are supported by + a wooden block or by pegs of wood or bone stuck into the snow. The + shallow hollow of the lamp is filled with seal oil, which is obtained + in winter by freezing the blubber, when the oil can easily be extracted + by beating; in summer often by chewing it out. The wick is of moss + and is arranged along the wide side of the lamp. It has to be trimmed + frequently, but when kept in good order gives a bright illumination + which Schwatka declared to be “certainly equal to the light from three + or four kerosene lamps.” The oil is kept in sealskins, which are made + into bottles by sewing, and the comfort and cheerfulness of the iglu + during the long night depend on the stock of oil which the family has + been able to secure. The farther north, the larger the lamp, because + the darkness is longer and the cold greater. <i>Vice versa</i>, + southward it finally disappears.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_275"> + <img src="images/i_275.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>STONE HOUSE-LAMP, POINT BARROW, ALASKA. ¼<br> + 3 in. to 2 ft. in length</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>In transportation facilities the Amerinds were extremely deficient, the + Eskimo excelling all others in this direction. This was the result of + environment and does not indicate superiority of the Eskimo over other + stocks. They had vast treeless plains and ice sheets to traverse, and + the sledge was a necessity. Dogs all Amerinds had, and some of them + used them, to a certain extent, for beasts of burden, so that there + was not a great deal of invention required to attach one or several + to the sledge. On the other hand, most Amerinds were not so situated + that they could utilise the dog in this way, and the continent offered + them no substitute for it unless, as has been suspected, some of the + South-western tribes may have had an animal resembling the vicuna, + which they kept for its wool and presumably for transportation purposes + also. But there is as yet no trustworthy evidence of this, and it may + be said that the Amerinds of North America as a race possessed no beast + of burden but the dog. In time, had the bison not been exterminated, + and provided also that the whites had not come, it is possible that + this animal might have been domesticated for milk, for meat, and for + draught purposes. But the bison, after all, was ill adapted to work, + for he is clumsy, so that the Amerind really had only the dog that + was practicable, and this he utilised as far as possible, or at least + as far as necessity directed. The Amerinds encountered on the plains + of Texas in 1540 by Coronado were <span class="pagenum" id="Page_277">277</span>using the dog,<a id="FNanchor_244" href="#Footnote_244" class="fnanchor">[244]</a> just as they + afterward used the horse, for transporting tents and tent poles. A + great many different forms of sledge are in use among the Eskimo, and + besides the regular sledges, walrus skins, rolls of sealskins, and + even packs of salmon are sometimes used for the purpose. When skins + are used they are soaked with fresh water and sewed in a bag which is + given the desired shape and then allowed to freeze solid, in which + condition it remains till the return of warm weather. The Eskimo is + never troubled with a “January thaw.” Sometimes sledges are made out of + slabs of fresh-water ice frozen together; or blocks of ice are hollowed + out. The runners of the ordinary sledge are usually made of driftwood + and are from five to fifteen feet long and twenty inches to two and a + half feet apart. The runners are connected by crossbars of wood or bone + and are shod with whalebone, ivory, jawbone of whale, and sometimes + with frozen fish. The shoe is either tied or riveted in place, and the + parts are generally tied together, though now iron nails are sometimes + used. When there is a back to the sledge it is made, in the Central + regions, of wood or of deer or caribou antlers. Very small sleds are + used for running boats out of water, and their runners are often single + walrus tusks, the rest being of any wood obtainable. “The dog <span class="pagenum" id="Page_278">278</span>harness + consists of a broad band or strap of stout rawhide, with three parallel + loops at one end.... The head is passed through the middle loop, and a + foreleg through each of the side loops, bringing the main part of the + thong over the back.”<a id="FNanchor_245" href="#Footnote_245" class="fnanchor">[245]</a> This is the trace, and by means of a toggle + it is fastened to a long line that runs back to the sledge and connects + all the dogs with it. The Central Eskimo make two bights passing under + the forelegs, joined by two straps across the neck and breast. The + dogs are not driven in Alaska,<a id="FNanchor_246" href="#Footnote_246" class="fnanchor">[246]</a> but they are in the Central and + Eastern regions, and Boas asserts that silence must be maintained + during the journey, for the dogs will stop, turn around, sit down, and + listen to any conversation that is carried on. The dogs are wolf-like + in appearance,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_279">279</span> but are not given to barking. Indeed, they seem to pay + little attention to a stranger. A long whip is used for touching them + up when on the sledge. Steering is done by the legs of the driver. In + the late spring, when there are sharp ice needles, a sort of leather + boot, with holes for the nails, is tied to the dogs’ feet to keep them + from getting sore. In summer-time they have an easy life of it.

The toboggan, however, was usually pulled by men, and its + object was the transportation of a load which would otherwise need to + be carried.

This is <span class="pagenum" id="Page_280">280</span>familiar to almost + everybody, but a brief description will be added for the sake of those + who may not have seen it. There are two kinds of snow-shoe; those + represented by the Norwegian ski, made of wood, long and slender, and + not used in America before their introduction from Europe. The only + wooden shoe recorded is an Eskimo one made in the same shape as their + others. The other kind of snow-shoe<a id="FNanchor_248" href="#Footnote_248" class="fnanchor">[248]</a> is the Amerind one made by + bending to an oval shape a slender piece of wood for a frame, and + filling the interval with rawhide netting; and it was in use all over + North America, where snow remained for any length of time. Among some + tribes these shoes were “rights and lefts,” but as a rule they were + interchangeable. They are generally the shape of a long, pointed oval, + but some are almost round. There are two crossbars to hold the frame in + shape, and also to form supports for the toe and heel. Some shoes were + four or five feet long and seven or eight inches wide, and turned up + at the forward end, while others were short and broad and not turned + up, the interval between being filled by a series in great variety. The + foot is held in position by suitable thongs or straps. These shoes are + now in common use by the whites.</p> + + <p>In summer the means of travel, before the horse came with the European, + were, on land, nothing more than a good pair of legs, but, on the + water, it was different. There, many of the Amerinds were at home, + for they had some of the most admirable <span class="pagenum" id="Page_281">281</span>small boats ever devised. + Chief of these, for lightness and grace, is the birchbark canoe,<a id="FNanchor_249" href="#Footnote_249" class="fnanchor">[249]</a> + though the Eskimo kayak is not far behind it. The birchbark canoe is + made in various sizes and in different tribes has variations, but the + type is the same everywhere. There is a slender, well-made frame of + wood, consisting of ribs, gunwales, and stiffening strips, over which + the bark, which has previously been sewed together, is stretched. The + bow is a trifle broader across the beam than the stern, but both are + pointed. The bark covering is rendered water-tight, where there are + holes or seams, with pine gum. The paddle is similar to the paddle + in use everywhere by the Amerinds, having a sort of T-shaped top to + the handle, and being about five feet <span class="pagenum" id="Page_282">282</span>long and four to six inches + wide. This kind of canoe was made wherever there was birchbark and + water to float it. Another form of boat which was universal was the + dugout canoe. This varied in size and shape according to locality, + and was always hollowed out of a single tree, by fire and by gouging. + When completed it was spread open wider, so that one of these boats + has the appearance of being from a larger tree than is the case. The + finest dugout canoes are those of the North-west coast, where they are + constructed from cedar trees of huge proportions. One of these canoes, + made by the Haidas, now in the American Museum in New York, is almost + a ship and could be navigated in stormy waters. The Haida canoes are + often elaborately carved. Farther up the coast the Tlinkits are experts + likewise in canoe building and in the management of them. Their canoes + are also hollowed from single logs. Many of them are small, being + barely large enough for two persons. Some have a peculiar projection, + a point sticking out from the lower part in line with the place where + the keel would be if they had one, and also another at the top, rather + square; that is, the wedge-like end is hollowed out in the middle. + Either end is sent forward, but the prong end usually first. It seemed + as if this projection might be intended to ward off ice, for it is + in the regions of Yakutat and Glacier bays that it is the dominant<span class="pagenum" id="Page_283">283</span> + type; and there ice is always floating from the glaciers. At Prince + William Sound the <i>baidarka</i>,<a id="FNanchor_250" href="#Footnote_250" class="fnanchor">[250]</a> or kayak, comes into use. + This is certainly the perfection of a canoe. The frame is admirably + made, being tied together and covered with walrus hide, or sealskin, + and the boat rests on the sea seeming scarcely to sink into it. The + umiak is the boat for travelling and general transportation.

Some of the most extensive was the + mining for flint with which to make stone implements, mentioned before. + The mining was done by means of fire and cold water alternately + applied, and this was the method used in all mining operations on the + continent, so far as is now known, except in the steatite or soapstone + mining. But, even in Europe, until the invention of gunpowder, the fire + method was employed, and in one or two localities where fuel is plenty + it is said to be still considered an economical manner of extracting + ore. In the Far West, where the rocks and ledges were more exposed, + veins were discovered where the calcedony, or jasper, or other stone + desired for stone implements could be easily knocked out. It was then + carried away to some comfortable site and wrought into shapes. Along + Western rivers one occasionally comes upon a spot where the ground is + littered with “chips,” rejects, broken arrow-heads, and also perfect + ones, the latter probably <span class="pagenum" id="Page_286">286</span>having been dropped and lost; or possibly in + some way not being satisfactory to the arrow-makers.</p> + + <p>In working out soapstone vessels of the larger kind, the mining and + rough shaping were frequently, if not always, accomplished at one and + the same time.<a id="FNanchor_253" href="#Footnote_253" class="fnanchor">[253]</a> Holmes describes the methods employed as follows: + “When a sufficient area of the solid stone had been uncovered, the + workmen proceeded with pick and chisel to detach such portions as + were desired. If this surface happened to be uneven, the projections + or convexities were utilized, and the cutting was not difficult; if + the rock was massive and the surface flat, a circular groove was cut, + outlining the mass to be removed, and the cutting was continued until + a depth was reached corresponding to the height of the utensil to be + made; then, by undercutting, the nucleus was detached or so far severed + that it could be broken off by means of sledges or levers. If the + stone happened to be laminated, a circular groove was cut through at + right angles to the bedding, and the discoid mass was removed without + the need of undercutting.... A notable feature of the cutting out of + these masses of stone is the attendant shaping of the mass which was + rudely sculptured as the work went on, the contour of the vessel being + approximately developed. Although I have seen no good examples of this + class, it is confidently stated by others that rude nodes were carved + at opposite ends of the mass as incipient handles, and that excavation + of the bowl was begun, so that when severed from the stem the vessel + was already well under way.”<a id="FNanchor_254" href="#Footnote_254" class="fnanchor">[254]</a> These vessels were usually, in their + largest size, about two feet long, one foot or more in width, and about + seven or eight inches deep. Some are nearly circular. The tools used + were of stone, wood, bone, and horn, but chiefly of stone in the form + of chisels and picks. Some of the trenches formed in cutting out this + material were twenty-five feet wide, sixteen feet deep, and seventy + feet long. One described by Fowke near Culpeper, Va., is one hundred + and fifty feet in diameter and of considerable depth, being filled with + water and débris. Pits of varying depth and size from which steatite, + jasper, rhyolite, and other materials have <span class="pagenum" id="Page_288">288</span>been extracted by the + Amerinds are found in different parts of the continent. In Yucatan + there are numerous well-like holes in the ground that were “pockets” + of zahcab, and when this valued material was taken out the cavity + was either left or transformed into the strange, well-like affairs, + carefully walled up and covered over, called chultunes, the object of + which is often a mystery.<a id="FNanchor_255" href="#Footnote_255" class="fnanchor">[255]</a></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_287"> + <img src="images/i_287.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>AMERINDIAN METHOD OF MINING STEATITE FOR UTENSILS</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Native metals, when discovered by the Amerinds, were mined in much the + same way as the flint, the largest workings known being those at the + Lake Superior copper mines, where copper of remarkable purity continues + to furnish this continent and the world with an abundant supply. + Doubtless most of the copper used on the North American continent + prior to the Discovery was derived from these mines and distributed + through the channels of Amerind trade. Bowlders or nuggets of this + pure copper were treasured in the homes of the tribes of the northern + lake region when first encountered by the whites, and the location + of the outcrops, both on the mainland and on the islands, appears to + have been well known to the Amerinds of that time. An Algonquin chief + presented Champlain with a piece of copper a foot long and told him + there were “large quantities” where he had obtained this. He also said + “that they gathered it in lumps, and, having melted it, spread it in + sheets, smoothing it with stones.”<a id="FNanchor_256" href="#Footnote_256" class="fnanchor">[256]</a> The mining operations in the + Michigan-Minnesota copper region were evidently carried on for a very + long period in the laborious Amerind way, and in consequence at the + time they were first noticed had the appearance of extensive operations + by a few miners, leading to the erroneous supposition that they had + been worked by some other race.</p> + + <figure class="figright illowp60" id="i_289"> + <img src="images/i_289.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>CHIPPED SPADE</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>It must not be forgotten that before the arrival of white men, and even + to this day in certain localities, copper appeared about as valuable + as gold. If the Lake Superior mines had been gold instead of copper it + would not greatly have enhanced the value of the product in the opinion + of the Amerinds of the locality and their customers. They worked their + way down into the rock which carried native copper and broke off + nodules and fragments as they proceeded. Some of the pits were eighteen + or twenty feet deep, and in one case a huge bowlder of copper was found + lying <span class="pagenum" id="Page_289">289</span>on oak supports several feet from the bottom. This mass had + been denuded of every projection, and the supposition generally has + been that it was being elevated to the surface by means of the wood + underpinning. This may have been the case, but it is possible that the + underpinning was inserted as the miners went down on the vein, because + the bowlder was too large to cut or handle. They therefore <em>left it + where found</em> and proceeded to mine under and around for the smaller + pieces. The large one was ten feet long, three feet wide, nearly two + feet thick, and weighed over six tons. Other bowlders of greater weight + have been found, moved, as is supposed, a considerable distance from + the original bed, but the same hypothesis might apply to these that is + suggested above. The famous Ontonagon bowlder,<a id="FNanchor_257" href="#Footnote_257" class="fnanchor">[257]</a> which was found + on the river of that name, is a copper mass weighing somewhere near + five tons and has been the cause of much speculation as to how it + came there. The probability is that it was left by glacial action on + the surface, not far from, if not on, the spot where found. It is not + likely that the Amerinds would take the trouble to move so large a mass + far. If they had possessed the power of cutting it up, they would have + done it near its source, and the same remark applies to the bowlders + of copper that it has been supposed they were trying to lift to the + surface. Furthermore, if the Ontonagon bowlder were transported by them + to its position, and if the large bowlders in the mines were destined + for the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_290">290</span>surface and transportation in bulk, we ought to find somewhere + else records or evidences of the presence of great bowlders, but + nothing of the kind has been found; no such large copper mass has been + discovered in any ruined Amerind town, or on any Amerind village or + town site. It seems that the Ontonagon bowlder was a natural deposit. + These huge masses of copper were troublesome to modern miners with the + most approved machinery.</p> + + <p>It must not be supposed that all the Amerinds of that region were + miners, any more than that all the Amerinds of any other region were + equally developed or skilful, or all did the same things. The Navajos + of the South-west are some of them expert silver-workers, yet their + neighbours, for the most part, can do little or nothing in that line. + But that is no reason for supposing the Navajos to be a race distinct + and apart from the rest. No more were the workers of the Lake Superior + copper mines any different from their neighbours in general. They had a + knack of working the native copper out of the ground, and they worked + it just as others mined for flint. When they ceased it was probably + because they had worked out all the easy places they could find, or + that their trade fell off owing to the introduction by the Europeans of + manufactured articles of copper and iron.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp85" id="i_290"> + <img src="images/i_290.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>ESKIMO STONE MAUL. ⅜</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>In one of the ancient pits a hemlock with 395 annular rings was + growing, and this has led to the supposition that the mines were worked + before the time of Columbus.

On the whole, there seems to be no reason + for supposing that anyone but Amerinds worked these mines; Amerinds + lastly of Algonquin stock, though other stocks probably worked them + also.</p> + + <p>The method of utilising this copper in the Northern regions, that is, + north of Mexico, was as primitive as the method of extracting it from + the ground. It seems often, perhaps generally, to have been hammered + into shape cold and then finished by grinding. Doubtless they knew how + to melt it out of the rock on a small scale, allowing it to drop or run + into a mould scraped into the surface of a flat stone, somewhat the + shape of the article to be made, which would afterward be finished with + hammering and grinding.</p> + + <p>The objects found in the Mississippi valley, formed of copper, which + are probably the unaided work of the Amerinds, are chisels, arrow- + and spear-heads, knives, and perhaps certain thin plates wrought with + designs in the repoussé method. No camp utensils or other objects + have been found demanding a knowledge of the properties of the metal + sufficient to work it into articles requiring a quantity of copper to + be manipulated at once. Cushing maintains<a id="FNanchor_258" href="#Footnote_258" class="fnanchor">[258]</a> that the production of + thin plates was an easy matter and he shows how the Zuñis made them, + but admitting that the Amerinds of the Mississippi valley could make + these plates, it does not prove that they did, for as copper in various + forms was very early an article of trade, it is possible that they used + the imported article. Cushing explains how the Zuñis, by a process of + alternate hammering and annealing and then grinding, produced thin + plates, which being pressed with a sharp tool would receive a design. + This pressed-out portion could be ground down with a flat slab to sever + it from the ragged edges of the sheet, and also to make any desired + perforations. The resulting turned-up edges could be hammered flat and + they then would be as if cut by a shear.</p> + + <p>Cushing explains how in the South-west ore was quarried and roasted in + an open fire, and then smelted in a sort of oven, the copper or other + metal appearing finally at the bottom. Primitive furnaces of this kind + he found in the Salt River valley. The singular thing about it is the + almost total absence of metal objects in the ruins of the South-west. + Aside from several small copper + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_292">292</span> + “hawk” bells found in the Salado and other Arizona ruins, I have not + heard of any metal object that was not positively European being found + in any mound or ruin of the South-west, with one exception.<a id="FNanchor_259" href="#Footnote_259" class="fnanchor">[259]</a> In + 1875 a man in my employ in southern Utah told me that several years + before that time his uncle either had found in a mound in southern + Nevada or northern Arizona, or had obtained from some natives who found + it, a small gold image, which he had melted down for the value of the + metal it contained.

These + coppers have the same function which bank notes of high denominations + have with us.

Silver and copper ornaments are turned + out by the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_295">295</span>native silversmith not only for his own people but for + whites also, and a considerable trade exists between the Navajos and + other Amerinds in this native jewelry as well as in blankets. If you + desire to have an article made, you give the silver it is to contain, + usually in dollar pieces, and an equal quantity as wages.

The art of metal-working both + among the Navajos and the Pueblos is probably a modern acquisition. + Washington Matthews, writing about 1883, says: “Old white residents of + the Navajo country tell me that the art has improved greatly within + their recollection.”<a id="FNanchor_263" href="#Footnote_263" class="fnanchor">[263]</a> It is likely that the Navajos, having a keen + perception of mechanical matters, had wrought copper to a limited + degree and that through their intercourse with, and absorption of, + Pueblo tribes, this tendency was developed by a certain amount of + knowledge in this line which the Pueblos acquired from Mexicans who + followed in the train of the early Spanish explorers; but this skill + was not given a real impetus till after the South-west fell into our + possession, when tools and trade rapidly developed.<a id="FNanchor_264" href="#Footnote_264" class="fnanchor">[264]</a></p> + + <p>When in 1871 I encountered Navajos for the first time, on their way to + trade with the Mormons, I do not remember seeing them have any silver + ornaments. This was so soon after their liberation from government + confinement following their war with us that they were, naturally, + very poor. But if they had before possessed much silver they would + have concealed it, and by the time I saw the ones referred to they + would again have been wearing it and trying to trade it for horses, + which they sadly needed. The Navajo silver-work is distinguished by + an extremely artistic quality. Their tools and appliances are very + rude and simple. As their method of operation is probably similar + to that of Amerinds who have not been observed as closely, I will + condense here some of the important details as given by Washington + Matthews.<a id="FNanchor_265" href="#Footnote_265" class="fnanchor">[265]</a> Only a few have attained a degree of proficiency that + enables <span class="pagenum" id="Page_298">298</span>them to make large hollow articles, like flasks and the like, + but there are many who can turn out bracelets, buttons, buckles, etc. + Their appliances consist “of a forge, a bellows, an anvil, crucibles, + moulds, tongs, scissors, pliers, files, awls, cold chisels, matrix and + die for moulding buttons, wooden implements used in grinding buttons, + wooden stake, basin, charcoal, tools and materials for soldering + (blow-pipe, braid of cotton rags soaked in grease, wire, and borax), + materials for polishing (sandpaper, emery paper, powdered sandstone, + sand, ashes, and solid stone), and materials for whitening (a native + mineral substance—almogen—salt and water).” The forge is built up with + several old boards, an old box, or, when these cannot be procured, of + sticks. The nozzle of the bellows, being wood, is kept back from the + fire several inches and a continuation built in the mud with which the + fire-bed is constructed. The bellows is a tube of goatskin, a foot long + and ten inches in diameter, distended by two or three wooden hoops. The + back of it is a disc of wood with a valve in it. The nozzle is of four + pieces of wood tied together and having a hole an inch square through + the centre, the outside being dressed off till it is approximately + round. Any old piece of iron, like the king-bolt of a wagon, driven + into a log serves for an anvil, though in the absence of this a hard + stone is sufficient. They make their own crucibles of clay, generally + three-cornered, about two inches in every dimension, and baked hard. + “The moulds in which they cast their ingots, cut in soft sandstone with + a home-made chisel, are so easily formed that the smith leaves them + behind when he moves his residence.” “Metallic hemispheres for beads + and buttons are made in a concave matrix by means of a round-pointed + bolt.” Several matrices are made on a single bar of iron and a bolt + that will fit the smallest is sufficient to work all. They prepare + charcoal by building a large fire, and when it is “reduced to a mass of + glowing coals they smother it well with earth and leave it to cool.” + Blowpipes are made by themselves out of brass wire hammered flat and + then bent into a tube. The engraving and chasing of the objects made + are done with the sharpened end of a file, or any other suitable sharp + piece of steel. It will be seen from the foregoing that the Navajo + silversmith is dependent to a very great extent on materials and tools + obtained from the whites, and without these the practice of his art + would be difficult. Schools for mechanical processes like dyeing, + metal-working, etc., would accomplish much good among <span class="pagenum" id="Page_299">299</span>these people. + They could readily be taught to use the lathe and other tools, and + would become good metal-workers.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp75" id="i_297"> + <img src="images/i_297.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>KWAKIUTL CHIEF HOLDING HIS COPPER, NORTH-WEST COAST + <p class="hang">The value of a copper is expressed in white single blankets of + American make at 50 cents each.

Their plumes + in their head-dresses were often set in gold; rings of gold were worn + in their ears and on their arms, and the same metal was wrought into a + great many forms of ornament.</p> + + <p>Cortes ordered, says Valentini, eight thousand arrow-heads of + copper and they were “made ready for delivery in a single week.” It + seems, therefore, the Aztecs were accustomed to handling copper in + considerable quantities. It is said they made a mixture of copper and + tin which they used for tools, and certain implements and objects are + found with a percentage of tin in them, but nevertheless their keenest + weapons and their most serviceable tools were made of obsidian, which + was also the case with the Mayas. Their hardened copper was useful + for some purposes, but they were unable to harden it sufficiently to + sustain an edge. For cutting <span class="pagenum" id="Page_300">300</span>stone in two they used, as the Eskimo + does to-day, a thin blade and sand. In their case the blade was copper + tempered with tin, and in the Eskimo’s case it was formerly probably a + thin blade of bone, while now it is an old steel saw. Silver as well + as gold and copper was known to the tribes of the Central regions of + America, and lead also was one of their metals, though little was done + with it. There is a tendency to exaggerate the mechanical as well as + the art skill displayed in objects that were made on this continent, + before the whites came, or that were not discovered till recently. + The reason for this seems to be that we love mystery and it is too + tame to refer the finds to the ordinary “Indian,” who in the popular + mind has no ability in any direction, so they are ascribed to that + “mysterious” race that we have tried in vain to find some evidence of + besides mystery. Daniel Wilson gives an example of how this mystery + bubble bursts on the slightest accurate investigation. Some tools + were found in the neighbourhood of Brockville, Canada, of which Dr. + Reynolds, who exhibited them, stated: “There is also a curious fact, + which these relics appear to confirm, that the Indians possessed the + art of hardening and tempering copper, so as to give it as good an edge + as iron or steel. This ancient Indian art is now entirely lost.”<a id="FNanchor_267" href="#Footnote_267" class="fnanchor">[267]</a> + When these Brockville relics were submitted to careful examination it + appeared that they were not “different in any material respect from + the native copper of Lake Superior.”<a id="FNanchor_268" href="#Footnote_268" class="fnanchor">[268]</a> This was all very well, but + Wilson was not satisfied with Reynolds’s ascribing these relics to the + “present Indian race” and goes on to say: “The evidences of antique + sepulture, however, are unmistakable; and other proofs suggest a + different origin,” and he proceeds to call in Squier’s aid and ascribes + them forthwith to our fabulous friends, the “Moundbuilders.” One of + his proofs was a terra-cotta mask found with the articles, in which + he saw a skill beyond that of the “Indians,” but which in reality, + judging by the illustration he gives of it, is nothing remarkable. Yet + Wilson continues: “It cannot admit of doubt that in them [the mining + operations] we look on the traces of an imperfectly developed yet + highly interesting native civilisation, pertaining to centuries long + anterior to the discovery of America in the fifteenth century,”<a id="FNanchor_269" href="#Footnote_269" class="fnanchor">[269]</a> + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_301">301</span>etc. This conclusion he is assisted to by certain quotations from + some of the old natives and from Claude Allouez. These convince him; + but a little later on he quotes Alexander Henry’s mention of his visit + to the Ontonagon, who says: “I found this river chiefly remarkable + for the abundance of virgin copper which is on its banks and in its + neighbourhood. The copper presented itself to the eye in masses of + various weight. The Indians showed me one of twenty pounds. They + were used to manufacture this metal into spoons and bracelets for + themselves.”<a id="FNanchor_270" href="#Footnote_270" class="fnanchor">[270]</a> If they made bracelets and spoons, they probably + made other articles, “melting the lumps and spreading it in sheets” to + smooth it with stones, as the chief described to Champlain.</p> + + <p>The Chiriquians seem to have possessed a skill in metallurgical + operations unsurpassed by any other people on the continent. Whether + they used gold dust in quills, and T shapes of tin or copper for + currency as did the Mexicans, does not appear, but they were skilled + in metal-working. They understood smelting, alloying, and plating, + and apparently were extremely skilful at casting. As before noted, no + weapons or implements have been found of metal, all the metal objects + being ornaments, and “almost exclusively,” says Holmes, “pendent + ornaments.” “They were, for the most part, cast in moulds, and in nine + cases out of ten represent animal forms. A few bells are found, all of + which are bronze. Pieces formed of alloyed metal are usually washed + or plated with gold.”<a id="FNanchor_271" href="#Footnote_271" class="fnanchor">[271]</a> Many of these valuable relics of the past + have been disposed of for their money value and duly melted up to be + made into something modern. The gold is usually alloyed with copper + in varying proportions, though pure metals were also used. From the + fact that the alloy is so variable it would seem that the combination + already existed before it came into the Chiriquian hands; that is, it + was perhaps a natural combination.</p> + + <p>Holmes believes almost all these metal objects were cast in moulds, + as noted, but he mentions other processes by which they may have been + made. They have the appearance of having been modelled in some plastic + material, and then coated with clay, when by the action of heat the wax + runs away, leaving the hollow clay as a mould to receive the metal. + This is the <i>cire perdue</i> process. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_302">302</span>Small figures of resin, in + all respects modelled like those found in metal, have been discovered + in the graves. This seems to add to the probability of a Chiriqui + acquaintance with the <i>cire perdue</i> process. Another method + suggested is that the various metallic parts of a figure were enclosed + in a clay matrix and then heated till the parts melted and joined, + but this appears to be too uncertain and difficult to have warranted + its practice. Still another method advanced is the coating of a wax + figure with sheet gold and melting the wax, when a hollow gold figure + would be the result. This is possible but not probable. Yet one more + suggestion is that the gold was reduced to an amalgam with mercury, + and thus modelled, when the mercury being driven off by heat the gold + figure would remain. One difficulty with this theory seems to be that + there is no evidence that the Chiriquians knew mercury. As many of the + objects are washed or plated with pure gold, it would seem that the + pure gold was the most difficult to obtain, and that, as before stated, + the gold-copper alloy was a natural one. There is neither engraving nor + carving on these objects; and the objects themselves are the same crude + productions that are indicative of pure Amerind art everywhere on the + continent. Some are more crude than others, but all Amerind sculpture, + modelling, and carving <span class="pagenum" id="Page_303">303</span>are essentially rude and primitive. In the form + and artistic execution of the Chiriqui objects of gold and copper we + may be positive that there is no European influence, whatever there + may be in the method of production. It is probable that the objects + are entirely native, and they offer another lesson that the tribes of + North America were everywhere working and inventing, and gradually + conquering the secrets of nature just as our ancestors did and just as + we are still doing to-day; some doing more, others less; some being + quick, and others clumsy, ignorant, and dull. The bells are usually of + bronze, having the shape of our common sleigh-bell, and are frequently + gold-plated.

At the time of our visit, however, the mouth was considerably + overgrown with small brush, proving that for several years no visit + had been made. In every region there were special places for obtaining + paints, and Brinton states that in New Castle County, Delaware, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_304">304</span>the + vicinity of streams now known as White Clay and Red Clay creeks + furnished red, white, and blue clays in such abundance that they were + called by the natives <i>Walamink</i>, or Place of Paint.<a id="FNanchor_272" href="#Footnote_272" class="fnanchor">[272]</a> Charcoal + was used for black.</p> + + <p>Of dyes they had a fair assortment, but they were not able to obtain + the brilliant hues they now secure by means of the “Diamond” and other + aniline dyes.

Glue they made from + fish in some localities, and in others by boiling down the skin from + the head of the bison or elk, or the hoofs of animals. Cement for + attaching arrow-heads and for other purposes was made by combining + pine gum with other substances. In all these mixtures and combinations + the proportions were either guessed at or measured, never weighed, for + there was no scale or balance in use, so far as now known, in North + America, though certain round stones from Mexico in Madrid have been + supposed to be weights.</p> + + <p>Remarkable progress had been made in many tribes in the matter of + calculating time, and the Mayas and Mexicans had advanced so far that + they were able to calculate the length of the year with accuracy. + What implements they employed is not known, but they were probably of + wood and stone, the latter of the form of the calendar stone, before + mentioned. Other tribes farther north made their calculations in a less + perfect way, yet they did and do keep time records. The Sun priests + of the Mokis use “what may be called a calendar stick,” says Fewkes. + “These sticks are about a foot and a half long, and are divided into + two parts, one section being round, the other flattened on one side. + The round section is girt by fifteen shallow parallel grooves, and + occupies about a third of the whole length of the stick. The remaining + two-thirds of the stick have a number of parallel grooves or notches + cut upon the flattened surface. Five of the latter grooves, which are + situated at equal distances, are deeper than the remaining, and between + each pair there are four smaller parallel grooves arranged at equal + distances. The space in which these grooves are cut occupies about + one-half of the flat portion of the stick.

To strangers, however, they are + often silent. In every village there is a great deal of amusement, and + while the race is deficient in musical instruments, and the music they + produce, if it can be designated by that term, is usually apart of some + ceremonial, they do sing and the singing is accompanied by rattles + and drums. These instruments, with a sort of flute or flageolet and + bells and whistles, make the sum-total of their musical apparatus. No + stringed instrument, it was believed, was known on the North American + continent before the Discovery, though recently Lumholtz has found a + primitive musical bow among the Huichols in Mexico that seems to show + no outside influence. Their drums were usually made out of a hollow + log and were of various sizes, though some tribes also used a sort of + tambourine-drum formed by stretching a piece of hide over a hoop. In + the case of the Mokis, the large drum was made by stretching hide over + the ends of a hollow log by means of strings on the outside running + from the edge of one skin to that of <span class="pagenum" id="Page_309">309</span>the other, zig-zag. These drums + are about twenty inches in diameter by some three feet long, and the + ones I have seen had an appearance of age that seemed to indicate a + remote origin. Rattles are frequently made from deer hoofs, or from + hoofs of similar animals, and also from turtle shells, and garments + are trimmed with hoofs so that the movements of the wearer cause them + to strike together with a musical sound. Sometimes the hoofs are + attached in groups of three or more to the ends of a short stick which + is shaken to produce the desired sound. This is a form specially in + vogue among the Tlinkits, and these rattles are one of the articles of + trade with the tourists in the North-west. Another form is a gourd or + clay globe containing pebbles or something similar. Rattles of this + kind are common in the ceremonials of the Mokis.

The other is the <i>chirimia</i>. It is made + of dark brown wood, called <i>tepehuaje</i>, brought to Cholula from + Matamoras-Yzucar, or near Atlixco. Its length is 0.46 metre (about 18 + inches) and its width at the mouth is 0.06 metre (about 3 inches). It + has eleven holes irregularly arranged, and the mouthpiece is a thin + plate of horn on a stem of brass.

The quality of tone is indescribable, + being more like a yelp than anything else; but the intervals yelped + are unmistakably those of the major chord or of the minor chord. + The tone-quality is that of shouting, or even of howling, but the + pitch-relations into which they tend to fall are <span class="pagenum" id="Page_314">314</span>those of the major + chord.... Some of the Navaho songs are illustrations of melody so + primitive as to bring us very near to the beginning of music-making.... + I started my investigations with the impression that there might be + essential differences in structure between the Indian music and our + own. I studied the Indian music for ten years with the utmost care + and thoroughness of which I was capable. I have failed to find one + single interval in Indian music which we do not use. It is true, + I have often heard Indians sing these intervals out of tune; but + this is a phenomenon by no means confined to savage or uncivilised + races. In every such case, when I was singing with Indians and was + able to get at their real intentions, I have found that they meant + to sing exactly the interval we should sing in their place.... I + have also found that increase of power is almost always accompanied + with increased elevation of pitch, and diminution of intensity with + a lowering of pitch, seemingly without the Indian being aware of + it.... The evidence of the essential unity of all music, from the + most primitive to the most advanced, is cumulative. The Navaho howls + his song to the war gods directly along the line of the major chord; + Beethoven makes the first theme of his great ‘Eroica’ symphony out of + precisely the same material. The Tigua makes his ‘Dance of the Wheel’ + out of a major chord, and its relative minor; Wagner makes Lohengrin + sing ‘Mein lieber schwan’ to a melody composed of exactly the same + ingredients. In short there is only one kind of music in the world.” + Like everything else pertaining to man, it is a matter of development + modified by circumstances.

I mounted to + my house-top by means of steps on the end of a wall, and then I could + look down my neighbour’s chimney, from which little smoke and much + sound were arising. I could see plainly the singer, an old man, sitting + cross-legged before the fire, its light softly illuminating him, with + a small double-headed drum between his knees, which he was vigorously + beating in accompaniment to a “<span class="allsmcap">HO</span>, ho, <span class="allsmcap">HO</span>, ho, + <span class="allsmcap">HO</span>—<span class="allsmcap">HE</span>, he, <span class="allsmcap">HE</span>,” etc. When I went afterward + to the house of Anawita, the war-chief, to the rehearsal described, + this old fellow and Anawita were the leaders of the songs.

He sings in ceremonials, sings in camp, + bursts out in yelps as he rides across country, and the women amongst + the Pueblos sing a shrill chant while they are grinding corn. Men of + some tribes sing at times without knowing what they are singing. I + once had a Uinkarets Ute with me in Arizona, and at night this man + would build a fire a few yards from us, and sitting by it would sing + the words <i>Lola-my, lola-my, lola-my</i> with great vigour and gusto + over and over and over again. When I asked him what the words meant, he + said he did not know, nor could he explain just why he performed thus, + but it was probably a gambling chant. Singing is used at night for + driving away evil spirits that may be near. We <span class="pagenum" id="Page_319">319</span>had four Pai Utes once + travelling with us for a number of weeks, and almost every night, along + in the middle, one would wake and begin to sing in a low voice, then a + second would join, and a third, and so on till all were engaged, their + voices rising gradually, and finally as gradually diminishing till they + ceased altogether.<a id="FNanchor_287" href="#Footnote_287" class="fnanchor">[287]</a> As <span class="pagenum" id="Page_320">320</span>this performance woke us up there were + protests against it, but they were of no avail. The red men declared + they did it to drive off the “woonūpits,” or spirit of evil, and we + were forced to partake of their protection. Beginning a song low and + rising slowly is an effect often used. Fewkes mentions something of the + kind. “At the termination of this ceremonial smoke,” he says, “the four + priests nearest the bowl picked up the small gourd rattles and began + a low, rapid rattling. This continued for a few moments, and then the + priests began a song, at first low, rising gradually and increasing in + volume.” Fewkes recorded many songs by means of the phonograph. The + Harriman Expedition recorded a number of Tlinkit songs, and afterwards + some of these were reproduced for the benefit of men of the same stock + farther north, who immediately recognised the melodies and, as their + hilarity testified, enjoyed them hugely, though they had never before + heard a talking machine.</p> + + <figure class="figleft illowp55" id="i_320"> + <img src="images/i_320.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>THE AWL GAME</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Most Amerind songs are connected with ceremonials, and some are + imported or adopted. Ceremonials are not always sacred. Many of them + are full of amusing features intended to entertain the onlookers. The + attendance at a camp or village on a ceremonial day is for amusement as + much as anything else.</p> + + <p>The different tribes of a locality expect to meet friends then and + enjoy social intercourse. The Amerind is fond of games, races, and all + forms of sport on which a wager can be laid. A game without a stake + would be no game at all for him. He must put up something to lose, + and I once noticed after a distribution of goods among individuals + of a certain tribe that within twenty-four hours a few had all the + goods. In modern times many Amerinds play cards. Their own games are + numerous. In the “awl game,” played chiefly by <span class="pagenum" id="Page_321">321</span>women, “the players,” + according to Mooney, “sit upon the ground around a blanket marked in + charcoal with lines and dots and quadrants in the corners as shown in + illustration on preceding page. In the centre is a stone upon which + the sticks are thrown. Each dot ... counts a point, making twenty-four + points for dots. Each of the parallel lines, and each end of the curved + lines in the corners, also counts a point, making sixteen points for + the lines, or forty points in all. The players start from the bottom, + opposing players moving in opposite directions, and with each throw + of the sticks the thrower moves her awl forward and sticks it into + the blanket at the dot or line to which her throw carries her. The + parallels on each of the four sides are called ‘rivers,’ and the dots + within these parallels do not count in the game. The rivers at the + top and bottom are ‘dangerous’ and cannot be crossed, and when the + player is so unlucky as to score a throw which brings her upon the + edge of the river (<i>i. e.</i>, upon the first line of either of + these pairs of parallels) she ‘falls into the river’ and must lose + all she has hitherto gained and begin again at the start. In the + same way, when a player moving around in one direction makes a throw + which brings her awl to the place occupied by the awl of her opponent + coming around from the other side, the said opponent is ‘whipped back’ + to the starting-point and must begin all over again.... The game is + played with four sticks, each from six to ten inches long, flat on + one side and round on the other. One of these is the trump stick and + is marked in a distinctive manner in the centre on both sides, and is + also distinguished by having a green line along the flat side, while + the others have each a red line.... There are also a number of small + green sticks, about the size of lead pencils, for keeping tally. Each + player in turn takes up the four sticks together in her hand and throws + them down on end upon the stone in the centre. The number of points + depends upon the number of flat round sticks which turn up.... Only + the flat sides count except when all the sticks turn round side up. On + completing one round of forty points the player takes one of the small + green tally sticks from the pile and she who first gets the number of + tally sticks previously agreed on wins the game.”<a id="FNanchor_288" href="#Footnote_288" class="fnanchor">[288]</a></p> + + <p>Another game, widely spread and in some respects resembling <span class="pagenum" id="Page_322">322</span>the + Mexican game of <i>patolli</i>, is thus described by Fewkes as he found + it among the Mokis<a id="FNanchor_289" href="#Footnote_289" class="fnanchor">[289]</a>:</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp90" id="i_322"> + <img src="images/i_322-1.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>Set of bone dice, Arapaho.

In + playing the game, a rectangular figure divided into a large number + of squares is drawn upon a rock, either by scratching or by using a + different-coloured stone as a crayon. A diagonal line, <i>tuhkiota</i>, + is <span class="pagenum" id="Page_323">323</span>drawn across the rectangle from north-east to south-west, and the + players station themselves at each end of this line. When two parties + play, a single person acts as player, and the other members of the + party act as advisers. The first play is won by tossing up a leaf or + corn husk with one side blackened. The pieces which are used are bean + or corn kernels, stones and wood, or small fragments of any substance + of marked colour. The players are stationed at each end of the diagonal + line, <i>tuhkiota</i>. They move their pieces upon this line but never + across it. The moves which are made are intricate and the player may + move one or more pieces successively. Certain positions entitle him to + this privilege. He may capture or, as he terms it, kill one or more + of his opponent’s pieces at one play. In this respect the game is not + unlike checkers, and to capture the pieces of the opponent seems to be + the main object of the game.”</p> + + <p>Horse-racing is a great sport among all Amerinds and much valuable + property changes hands on these occasions. There are also foot races. + Anything they can bet on constitutes a game, and they are much like + many white men in this respect. Arrows are shot into the air to see + who can shoot out of sight, or they are shot at a mark and dexterous + archers try to split the shaft of the preceding shooter. Or they + throw arrows or bows over the ground or the snow to see who can throw + farthest. In this line the Iroquois had the game known as “snow snake,” + wherein a specially formed stick was caused to glide over the snow or + ice. The Arapahos used for a similar purpose slender willow rods about + four feet long peeled and painted and tipped with a point of buffalo + horn. This is swung from one end like a pendulum and then let fly with + a sweeping motion.</p> + + <p>Among the Pai Utes a common gambling game was played by four men + sitting down in two rows opposite each other, that is, two on a side, + and about five feet apart. In front of each side was a row of little + sticks placed diagonally in sand heaped up, the ends sticking out + toward the side to which the lot belonged. Two bits of bone formed the + pieces, one being plain and the other having a buckskin string around + it. These pieces were about two and a half inches long, tapering toward + their ends. The leader of one side tosses both pieces into the air + and, catching them, crosses his arms, pressing the fists against each + shoulder. The point is for the other side to guess in which hand is + the piece that is marked with the string, and the diagonally opposite + player chooses. He <span class="pagenum" id="Page_324">324</span>does not at once indicate a choice, but sways his + body back and forth, his right hand extended and waving to and fro + across the opponent’s breast, and slapping his own chest, all the while + fiercely uttering a gambling song. Finally he would point directly at + the hand he chose, and if his guess were correct he received a tally + stick, if not, the other side got one. The side that wins all the + tally sticks is victor and carries off the stakes, which are usually + put on the ground at one end of the group. This is something like the + “hunt the button” game of the prairie tribes described by Mooney.<a id="FNanchor_290" href="#Footnote_290" class="fnanchor">[290]</a> + “It is the regular game in the long winter nights after the scattered + families have abandoned their exposed summer positions on the open + prairie and moved down near one another in the shelter of the timber + along the streams.... The players sit in a circle around the tipi fire, + those on one side of the fire playing against those on the other. The + only requisites are the ‘button,’ usually a small bit of wood, around + which is tied a piece of string or otter skin, with a pile of tally + sticks.... Each party has a button, that of one side being painted + black, the other being red. The leader of one party takes up the button + and endeavours to move it from one hand to the other, or pass it on to + a partner, while those of the opposite side keep a sharp lookout and + try to guess in which hand it is.” This game is played by both sexes + but never together.</p> + + <p>Still another game which was a great favourite all over the country, + and is yet, especially among the women, is the “plum stone” or dice + game. Five or six dice made of bone or plum stones, a small bowl or + basket, and the usual tally sticks are the implements. Two of the dice + are alike in shape and marking, while the others are different from + these but like each other. The dice are tossed up and the count made + according to the way the marks and blanks fall.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp90" id="i_325"> + <img src="images/i_325.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>TERRA COTTA RATTLE FROM CHIRIQUI</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>The camps and villages are particularly lively in winter, when there + is not much to do in the way of hunting, farming, or fishing. The + sound of the drum, gambling songs, and rattles make the evening merry + where the village is one of skin tipis or other light structures, but + among the Pueblos the walls of the houses are so thick that sounds + do not easily come through. The great drum is penetrating and its + deep “bum-bum-bum” could be heard vibrating on the winter air, but + other sounds were muffled or extinguished <span class="pagenum" id="Page_325">325</span>altogether by the walls. + One moonlight evening when I arrived before the town of Oraibi, about + eight o’clock, not a single sound was distinguishable, and to judge + by appearances, the place was a deserted ruin, till the dogs got a + sniff of our approach and then pandemonium ruled so far as they were + concerned. Many tribes have an assembly house, where there are various + congregations in the winter evenings, to sing and to dance. Among the + Pueblos these congregations, when there are women or girls involved, + take place in an ordinary dwelling; the kiva, which is council room, + club, and society lodge, seldom being open to women. An orchestra that + performed in a Kabinapek assembly hall described by Stephen Powers is + worth mentioning. “The orchestra, eight in number, all young men, were + squatted together opposite the entrance, four facing four. Between them + was a hollow slab, serving as a kind of drum to be beaten by a drummer + with the naked foot, and each of them held in his right hand a little + stick, split half way down, to be used as a clapper in keeping time. + The dancers were all young women, who stood in a curved row in front + of the orchestra.” This orchestra sang a chorus accompanied by the + clappers they held. “Like everything they sung it has no meaning. They + all sung in a high falsetto voice, the women especially, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_326">326</span>so that they + were less agreeable to listen to than the men. The sharp monotonous + clacking of the sticks and the dull tunk, tunk of the slab drum were + execrable.” He states that they kept perfect time, however, and also + that “there was one short passage in this chorus which when chanted + by the men alone was one of the most moving I ever heard. These three + rude, barbaric, and wholly unintelligible syllables, hu-di-go, were + trilled and prolonged out with a sweet, soft, and wild melodiousness + that I shall not forget to my dying hour.”<a id="FNanchor_291" href="#Footnote_291" class="fnanchor">[291]</a></p> + + <p>The Eskimo, despite the severity of their surroundings, are a merry + people, and have many diversions. Football, strange to say, is a + favourite pastime, but neither their method nor their ball would pass + muster with a college expert. The ball is a pudgy affair from three to + seven inches in diameter, and is either kicked or whipped along. The + whip is a short stick with several loops of seal thong at the end. The + game, according to Turner, is a favourite with all. Throwing stones at + a mark is also a pastime. Another is a kind of wrestling or struggling + with each other, such as is in vogue with almost all the tribes of the + continent. Turner says: “The opponents remove all their superfluous + garments, seize each other around the waist and lock hands behind each + other’s backs. The feet are spread widely apart and each endeavours to + draw, by the strength of the arms alone, the back of his opponent into + a curve and thus bring him off his feet. Then with a lift he is quickly + thrown flat on his back. The fall must be such that the head touches + the ground.... The feet are never used for tripping.”<a id="FNanchor_292" href="#Footnote_292" class="fnanchor">[292]</a></p> + + <p>Anything like scientific boxing is unknown among the tribes of the + continent. When they try anything of this sort it is a mere clawing + at each other’s heads, and one professional pugilist, if fists alone + were used, could knock out a whole tribe. Among the Hudson Bay Eskimo, + a popular game is played by trying to catch, on the end of an ivory + point, an ivory piece that looks something like a stumpy revolver. A + string is attached to it and to the ivory point, and the game is to + throw up the piece and cause the point to enter one of the holes and + catch it. Cards, such as we have, are known to almost all tribes, and + where they have not learned games from the whites they invent some of + their own.</p> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_327">327</span></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_327"> + <img src="images/i_327.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>CAT-SHAPED WHISTLE OF TERRA COTTA, CHIRIQUI</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Ball games of various kinds were played and the Canadian game called + <em>lacrosse</em> is of Amerind origin. Parkman in his <cite>Pontiac</cite> + vividly describes one of these lacrosse games used in strategy to + gain entrance to an English fort. “The plain in front was covered + by the ball players. The game in which they were engaged, called + <i>baggattaway</i> by the Ojibwas, is still, as it always has been, a + favourite with many Indian tribes. At either extremity of the ground, a + tall post was planted, marking the stations of the rival parties. The + object of each was to defend its own post and drive the ball to that + of its adversary. Hundreds of lithe and agile figures were leaping and + bounding upon the plain. Each was nearly naked, his loose black hair + flying in the wind, and each bore in his hand a bat of a form peculiar + to this game. At one moment the whole were crowded together, a dense + throng of combatants all struggling for the ball; at the next they were + scattered again, and running over the ground like hounds in full cry. + Each, in his excitement, yelled and shouted at the height of his voice. + Rushing and striking, tripping their adversaries, or hurling them to + the ground, they pursued the animated contest amid the laughter and + applause of the spectators.”</p> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_328">328</span></p> + + <p>In Central America, a form of tennis was in vogue and stone courts + where the game was played have been found and described by some of our + modern archæologists.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_328"> + <img src="images/i_328.jpg" alt=""> + <div class="attr">George Catlin</div> + <figcaption>MANDAN GAME OF TCHUNGKEE</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>I never saw any ball playing amongst the Uinkarets, Shevwits, or other + Amerinds of the northern Arizona-southern Nevada region.

There were flat pieces of cedar bark, painted with + red stripes, said by some to have been used like dice, but I never saw + them engaged in playing with them.

The children also beat + the drum for fun.</p> + + <p>Horse-racing is a sport in which many tribes, especially those of + the plains, are past masters. The Pueblos, particularly the Mokis, + owing to their sedentary life, have less opportunity to develop in + this line, but the Navajos, Sioux, Crows, Blackfeet, and Comanches + have little to learn about rough-and-ready racing. It goes without + saying that the Eskimo, Aleuts, Tlinkits, Haidas, and other North-west + tribes, whose range of life is on and by the sea, have no knowledge + of handling horses. They never adopted the horse, because it was as + useless to them as an elephant or a hippopotamus. But to the plains + tribes this animal came like a gift from the gods, and they appreciated + it fully, and horses became their standard of wealth. Some tribes, like + the Kaivavits, Uinkarets, and Shevwits Utes of northern Arizona have + never possessed many horses because of their poverty, but there were + always a goodly number owned, and horse-racing was a great amusement + with them, as well as with those tribes which counted their horses + by the thousand. Dodge describes an amusing race that took place + near Fort Chadbourne, Texas, between a horse of a Comanche chief and + three horses of the officers of the garrison, which illustrates the + Amerind cleverness in the jockeying line.<a id="FNanchor_294" href="#Footnote_294" class="fnanchor">[294]</a> It took several days + of manœuvring to bring the chief to the point, and then a race was + arranged with the third best horse of the white men.

He was armed with a huge club, with which, + after the word was given, he belabored the miserable animal from start + to finish. To the astonishment of all the whites, the Indian won by + a neck. Another race was proposed by the officers and, after much + ‘dickering,’ accepted by the Indians, against the next best horse of + the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_330">330</span>garrison. The bets were doubled, and in less than an hour the + second race was run by the same pony, with the same apparent exertion + and with exactly the same result. The officers, thoroughly disgusted, + proposed a third race, and brought to the ground a magnificent Kentucky + mare, of the true Lexington blood, and known to beat the best of the + others at least forty yards in four hundred. The Indians accepted the + race, and not only doubled the bets as before, but piled up everything + they could raise, seemingly almost crazed with the excitement of their + previous success. The riders mounted; the word was given. Throwing away + his club, the Indian rider gave a whoop, at which the sheep-like pony + pricked up his ears and went away like the wind, almost two feet to the + mare’s one. The last fifty yards of the course were run by the pony + with the rider sitting face to his tail, making hideous grimaces, and + beckoning to the rider of the mare to come on. It afterwards transpired + that the old sheep was a trick and straight pony, celebrated among all + the tribes of the South.” Yet some people think the Amerind has no + sense of humour.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp90" id="i_330"> + <img src="images/i_330.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>DOUBLE WHISTLE IN TERRA COTTA FROM CHIRIQUI<br> + Actual size</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Story telling is another amusement, and a good story teller, says + Dodge, is a man of importance. “The bucks, and squaws, and children + crowd to his lodge, or any other where he happens to be, and spend the + long winter evenings listening to his recitals.

Without consuming space in + discussing these errors, I think my preceding pages have demonstrated + that far <span class="pagenum" id="Page_333">333</span>from lacking industry and resolution, the “savage Indian” was + applying himself in his way to a solution of the life problems which + surrounded him. He knew nothing of the rules of commerce, book-keeping, + and exchange, but there are other things in the world besides figures + and accounts. The Amerind’s game-supply and clothing, and the soil + about him, were not overtaxed, at least not north of Anahuac, till the + whites arrived with their mania for “killing something,” and introduced + on this continent the destructive practice of hunting for the fun + of seeing how many animals could be killed in a certain time; or of + killing for a special part of an animal, as for the tongues, or the + hides and tallow, of the bison. When I first went to the Far West bison + were spread over the plains by thousands. Not a single specimen can + to-day be found alive outside of some private herd or the Yellowstone + Park. Hunting, as before mentioned, was with the Amerind labour, not + amusement, but in conjunction with their hunting most tribes carried on + farming operations. It has often been asserted that the “Indian” did + no work, even leaving the cultivation of the corn and squashes to the + women. That the women in some of the tribes tended the crops, is true, + but in others, like the Pueblos, they seldom or never touched hoe or + spade.

The fact that the resident + Apaches do not irrigate does not prove that these great canals were + built by people who emigrated from China or India, in the absurd line + of argument that has so often been advanced in discussing Amerindian + affairs; it simply proves that the Apaches did not cultivate the soil, + or not extensively enough to require irrigating works, and also, + over again, that tribes and stocks exist in a region, in different + conditions or stages of development, either at the same time or at + different times. These irrigating canals are unquestionably the work + of tribes similar to the Pueblos; that is now well established. They + were constructed because, in an increasing population and a probable + decrease of precipitation, they were found necessary. An increase <span class="pagenum" id="Page_334">334</span>of + population diminishes the food-supply; in an arid country where game + is not plenty this diminution is rapid. A corresponding development + of a food crop is the inevitable course, unless the tribe were to + migrate to more humid regions. In this case, hostile people already + there might have to be met, and it would be easier to remain at the + old place and invent new methods of obtaining food. In some such way + irrigating and its attendant engineering developed. Irrigating canals, + then, are found not where any lost or mysterious race once dwelt, nor + where any particular Amerind stock were living, but where the climatic + conditions and population made irrigation imperative. These conditions + prevailed on this continent in Mexico and our South-west, and there + consequently are found the most important works of this kind. The + remains of irrigating canals in the south-western United States are + numerous. There are indications of them along the fertile bottoms + of the Colorado River in Glen Canyon. These bottoms are deposits of + alluvial soil, generally occupying the inside of a bend at the base of + the cliffs. They are of various extent, about three to eight feet above + ordinary high-water mark, and are fringed with willows. I remember + examining several <span class="pagenum" id="Page_335">335</span>indications of these “ditches,” but as I made no + notes at the time, and it was long ago, I cannot give details. There + were ruins of houses here and there, both on the cliffs and below, + and the cliff faces bore pictographs. Amongst these I found, and + copied, one which suggested some kind of a scaffolding and sweep for + lifting water, and it is not improbable that something of this kind + was utilised for raising water from the river. As there would be no + opportunity to construct a canal or ditch sufficiently long to receive + water by natural flow from the river owing to the shortness of the + alluvial stretches, a system of lifting it into the ditches might have + been devised. Water might have been obtained also in another way. The + country on both sides of the river at this point is composed chiefly + of barren surfaces of homogeneous sandstone which collect enormous + quantities of water, like the roof of a house, during rain-storms, + and pour it over the edges of the cliffs and down the alcoves and + lateral canyons. This water may also have been utilised for irrigating + purposes. The Mokis utilise showers by collecting and guiding the + streamlets with low dams hastily thrown up by their hoes, so it is + certain that all these Amerinds understood thoroughly the importance of + utilising shower-water on their crops.<a id="FNanchor_297" href="#Footnote_297" class="fnanchor">[297]</a></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp75" id="i_335"> + <img src="images/i_335.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>ANCIENT FABRIC DESIGN FROM IMPRESSION ON POTTERY, UTAH</figcaption> + </figure> + + <figure class="figleft illowp60" id="i_336"> + <img src="images/i_336.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>ANCIENT FABRIC PRESERVED BY COPPER CELT, IOWA<br> + See <a href="#Page_108">page 108</a></figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>In the Verde River region of Arizona some very large canals or + “ditches” have been observed.

In one place it is marked “by a very shallow trough in the + grass-covered bottom, bounded on either side by a low ridge of earth + and pebbles, at another it was cut through a low ridge.

Centrally on this was + placed a layer of flat stones, with the edge inward, around a circle + about three feet in diameter. Upon the outer edge of these, others were + placed with their outer edges resting upon the prepared foundation + running entirety round the circle. Then another inner layer with the + best edge inward and the thinner edge resting on the outer layer, the + stones of one layer breaking joints with those below, as far as the + size and form would admit. Outside of the inner row, and with the edges + resting on it, other circles were added until a diameter ranging from + twenty to fifty feet or even more was attained, thus extending upon + the sloping earth not removed in forming the foundation. The last or + outer circle usually consisted of but a single layer, over which earth + was thrown, being sometimes heaped up until it equalled in contents + the rock pile. The height of these piles was found to vary from four + to eight feet, in one or two instances reaching ten feet. But in all + cases the circular space or opening in the centre continued to the top + the same diameter as at the bottom, somewhat resembling the so-called + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_341">341</span>‘well-holes’ of the early western pioneers.” The stones used in these + constructions were obtained by “rude quarrying in stratified cliffs + one half mile distant. Some of them measure from four to six feet in + length, half as wide, and of a thickness which renders them so heavy + as to require from two to four stout men to handle them.” Skeletons + were found in cavities of these piles “with head or feet (generally + the latter) toward the central well-hole.” <span class="pagenum" id="Page_342">342</span>Coarse pottery, rude + large celts, lance- and arrow-heads were also discovered, and “all + the cavities of the heap not originally used for burial are filled + with earth or mortar, often well baked by fire.”<a id="FNanchor_305" href="#Footnote_305" class="fnanchor">[305]</a> Many mounds and + other earthworks have been found in the western Virginia region, and + in some of them copper articles have been brought to light.<a id="FNanchor_306" href="#Footnote_306" class="fnanchor">[306]</a> In + New York there are many mounds called “old forts,” of various shapes, + with walls from one and one half to two feet or more high, and thence + westward, throughout the Mississippi valley, mounds and earthworks of + many shapes and sizes are found. They appear to be concentrated in + various centres, with a sprinkling in between suggesting a number of + different groups of Amerinds as their builders, which has been pretty + well established by evidence was the case. Some of the mounds were of + enormous size, the famous one at Cahokia, Illinois, being one of the + highest and largest on the continent. Its altitude is about ninety + feet, and it contains nearly 500,000 cubic yards of earth. Its purpose + is, of course, not known, but it probably supported some religious + structure of wood. Many of the mounds, as pointed out in the chapter on + dwellings, were merely supports for buildings, religious or otherwise. + Others were connected with religious rites in other ways. Doubtless the + figures of birds found in Wisconsin represented the “Thunder-bird,” of + which there are legends and traditions in many tribes. It was to the + Amerind the cause of the thunder and lightning. These great and small + earthworks were constructed in the United States by scooping up earth + from the vicinity and carrying it in baskets to the designated spot. + The United States mounds are, as a rule, made of earth, those of Mexico + and Central America of clay or adobe brick, faced with stone or wholly + of stone. “It is often the case,” says Thomas, speaking of the burial + mounds of the Mississippi valley, “when a mound is carefully excavated + and closely scanned as the work proceeds, especially where the material + is clay or muck, that the individual loads can be readily discerned. + As the earth of which the mounds is composed is usually gathered up + from the surrounding surface, the interior will vary in color and + character only as the soil so gathered <span class="pagenum" id="Page_343">343</span>up varies.... The places from + whence material was taken to build the small or moderate-sized mounds + are seldom discernible at the present day, but depressions plainly + mark the points about the larger works, as the Cahokia and Etowah + mounds and some of the enclosures of Ohio and elsewhere.<a id="FNanchor_307" href="#Footnote_307" class="fnanchor">[307]</a> In some + cases the one act has been made to serve two purposes, that is to say, + the earth used to construct the mound or other work has been taken + from one or two points so as to leave a basin-shaped excavation for + holding water, or to form a trench to serve as a protective moat, or + for drainage or other purposes.” For a long time it was believed by + a great many persons, scientific and otherwise, that these piles of + earth, often called pyramids quite erroneously, could not have been + made by ordinary Amerinds, but as the study of the native American + proceeded and the data of what he did and does actually do began to be + recorded, it was perfectly plain that it was not at all necessary to + look beyond the “Indian” for the origin of the mounds—that is, beyond + the “Indian” as he was known in the region where the mounds occur. It + was found that he had erected mounds after the arrival of the whites, + and if he built one or several he might have built all. It was not a + very difficult operation to dig up earth and carry it a few hundred + feet and drop it on a pile. The transportation of the stones referred + to above was far more laborious, and modern Amerinds do a great deal + harder work. The Navajos are fairly good labourers, and the Mokis carry + all their wood from forests fifteen miles away. It is work to carry + water up the cliffs where the Mokis live, it is work to hoe the corn, + it is work to tend and herd sheep. On full investigation it seems + strange that it should ever have been thought that the mounds were not + “Indian” because they represented work. Fowke has estimated that a + mound a hundred feet in diameter and twenty feet high could have been + erected by the “Indians” in forty-two days. I have seen Uingkaret Utes + in Arizona carry on their backs with ease for twelve or fifteen miles + loads that would average about thirty or forty pounds. People who can + do this could carry earth in short stretches for forty or fifty days. + It is probable, however, that the mounds were not built by steady and + consecutive labour, but rather by intermittent effort, after the usual + fashion of Amerindian work.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp67" id="i_341"> + <img src="images/i_341.jpg" alt=""> + <div class="attr">From <i>Monumental Records</i></div> + <figcaption>BACK OF VOTIVE ADZ<br> + For front and side see <a href="#Page_339">page 339</a></figcaption> + </figure> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_344">344</span></p> + + <figure class="figleft illowp60" id="i_344"> + <img src="images/i_344.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>PATTERNS OF ANCIENT FABRICS FROM POTTERY<br> + See <a href="#Page_108">page 108</a></figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Many mounds and earthworks were erected for defensive purposes at + points controlling river passages or trails, where the advance of foes + invading a country could be checked.

As the earth has all been taken from the inside (except along the + high wall which crosses the level at the rear) and thrown outward on + the crest of the slope, this has left an inside ditch. As a rule, the + wall is strongest and highest at the points of easiest approach; and at + some places the outside slope has been artificially steepened, proving + beyond any reasonable doubt that the work was one of defence.”</p> + + <figure class="figright illowp60" id="i_345"> + <img src="images/i_345.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>ESKIMO MECHANICAL TOY. ¼</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>The Amerinds, though not always engaged in war, were always on the + defensive against stronger tribes whose warriors might appear on + the scene. These stronger tribes were not necessarily Amerinds of a + different stock or strangers; often, as in the South-west, defensive + works were erected against relatives as much as against different + tribes, just as we, in our time, have had three wars that were not with + another race. In New Mexico the villages, besides being built on the + communal principle, were often surrounded by a defensive wall. Such + a wall can still be traced around the ruins of Pecos, as well as in + parts at other ruins.

The plan suggests two + communal villages, closely allied and united by a sort of runway, + which, while preventing hostiles from separating the two villages + in time of attack, always afforded a safe passage for the women and + children from one town to the other. The builders were evidently beset + by enemies at the time the works were occupied, but this does not + necessarily imply that when the works were abandoned the occupants + were driven out or annihilated, for their enemies may have been people + of their own stock with whom they eventually became reconciled, or + the enemies may have passed on to other fields, or the occupants of + the works may have grown more powerful and at length have assumed + the offensive. Abandoned works, I repeat, do not necessarily mean + annihilation of the builders. The South-west offers countless examples + of the truth of this statement. Villages and works were abandoned + there for a variety of causes; sometimes it was little more than + caprice. Quoting Thomas again: “Nor is the theory that, while some of + the monuments are due to the Indians, others are to be ascribed to a + different race, justified by the data, or reasonable, as no one is + able to define the characters which distinguish the classes. If the + Indians built mounds of the most advanced type and of large size, as + history shows positively the natives of the Gulf States did, there + is no necessity for attributing the works of the middle and northern + sections to a different race. That the Moundbuilders were divided into + various and often contending tribes, is shown by the works for defence + and protection, as also by the evidences of varying customs. Yet there + is nothing in the antiquities to indicate a higher culture than that + of the southern Indians or a greater difference between the people + of the different sections than existed among the natives when first + encountered by the whites.” Granting this, there is still nothing to + prove that some of these tribes did not come from a long distance off, + for the Amerinds very often have been travellers.</p> + + <p>Few mounds or earthworks are found east of the Alleghany Mountains, + north of Tennessee and North Carolina, but to my mind this is not + positive proof that the people who built earthworks in other places + did not live there. The Amerind changes his methods so completely when + circumstances demand, that it would <span class="pagenum" id="Page_350">350</span>not be safe to say that those who + built mounds west of the Alleghany range did not live east of it. If + the Mokis should have migrated to Ohio in priscan days, they certainly + would not have built stone houses there. They would have erected mounds + and wooden houses, for the reason that the stone would have been + difficult to secure. Many tribes have readily changed from one method + to another in building, as pointed out in a previous chapter. With the + Amerind, it depends so much on circumstances what he will do in a given + locality. For example, the traditions of the Mokis require their kiva + to be under ground. This is easy in their cliff-land, but how would it + be in Louisiana?

It now has much the appearance of a natural + hill, surmounted by a church of modern construction. There are “three + distinct projections, surrounding and supporting a conical hill, and + separated from each other by wide depressions. The entire mass consists + of adobe bricks laid in adobe clay, undisturbed except where erosion, + earthquakes, or the hand of man have mutilated it.

He + is not altogether unreliable. The Iroquois <span class="pagenum" id="Page_353">353</span>maintained the “covenant + chain” with the British unbroken for a round century. The Amerind + never broke faith with Penn, and it is seldom that he will violate any + compact that he fully understands he has entered into.

In the + United States existence of a trifle over a hundred years have been + waged several long and bloody wars, one the most gigantic known to + history, all police records are full of horrible crimes the Amerind + was a stranger to, and within a year or so <em>white people</em> have + burned alive several victims. When anyone defends the Amerind he is + accused of trying to make an angel of him, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_354">354</span>but this only shows again + how universally unjust toward him we are. We are blind to our own + shortcomings and exaggerate those of the Amerind. It was inevitable + that the weaker race should be forced to the wall, but we can at least + give it credit for any good that was in it without injuring ourselves. + In estimating their traits we do not regard them enough from their own + standpoint, and without so regarding them we cannot understand them. + The Amerind was something of a farmer, of an architect, of an engineer, + of a statesman, of an artist, the amount and quality of his interest + in these things depending, as with us, on circumstances. In most + localities, he achieved for all what all are with us still dreaming to + attain, “liberty and a living,” and his methods of government possessed + admirable qualities. We call him lazy and despise him for it, but many + of our people would not work if they could avoid it. One of Balzac’s + characters is made to say: “I fear God; but I am still more afraid of + the hell of poverty. To be without a penny is the last degree of misery + in our present social state.” The great philosopher here put European + life in a nut-shell. The Amerind was fortunate perhaps in not knowing + what poverty, as we understand it, is. With him the keen eye, the + woodman’s skill, and a generous and abundant soil gave him his daily + bread. The idea of piling up treasure for the satisfaction of holding + it did not occur to him any more than did killing of game for pleasure. + A tribe may have passed through famine, but the individual never knew + hunger in the midst of riches, as the civilised man so often meets + it. Not long ago a whole family wandering about the streets of New + York, homeless and without food, dropped from exhaustion at the corner + of Thirty-fourth Street and Broadway. In Amerind society, such an + occurrence would have been impossible. No friendly stranger ever left + an Amerind village hungry, if that village had a supply of food. And + “the hungry Indian,” says Powell, “had but to ask to receive, and this + no matter how small the supply or how dark the future prospect. It was + not only his privilege to ask, it was his right to demand.”</p> + + <p>The Amerind distribution of food was based on long custom, on tribal + laws; food was regarded like air and water, as a necessity that should + in distress be without money and without price. Hospitality was a + law, and was everywhere observed faithfully till intercourse with the + methods of our race demolished it. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_356">356</span>Among isolated tribes it is still + observed.

In the hands of the enemy + at the stake, his passing away was sublime, like the summer cloud that + sails steadily out into the infinite blue and dissolves. The most + painful tortures failed to bring a moan to his lips, or a tear to his + defiant eye, and his proud spirit departed in silence. An offer of + liberty was frequently refused. Charnay tells of a Tlaxcaltec chief, of + great fame as a warrior, who was captured and who, on being recognised, + was offered his freedom.

The + grass seeds are, some of them, large and fat, and make nutritious + food. Many tribes cultivated a grain that has no superior in the world + for its yield, its ease of cultivation, and its nutritious qualities. + This was maize, or Indian corn, which grows in new ground with little + attention, and can be dried and stored indefinitely. No machinery was + required to separate it from the husk, and it was easily reduced to + meal or flour between two stones or in a mortar.

Tobacco and the pipe were + part of the Amerindian religious paraphernalia. The pipe seems not to + have been much used for ordinary smoking among the Nahuatl or Mexican + tribes, nor among the sedentary tribes of our South-west. They used + the cigarette chiefly, leaving the pipe for ceremonials, while the + West Indian tribes rolled the leaf up for smoking. Many Eastern tribes + cultivated tobacco extensively and were able to sell it to traders. It + was generally mixed with other leaves and bark for smoking, and among + the Eskimo with wood. The exact place of the pipe in the ceremonials of + the Eastern tribes is not yet thoroughly understood, but its function + was always an important one.<a id="FNanchor_319" href="#Footnote_319" class="fnanchor">[319]</a> Among the Iroquois, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_364">364</span>when the horizon + was filled with “thunderheads,” or “sons of thunder,” in a period of + drought, it was a custom to burn tobacco, as an offering to bring rain. + Each family made an offering on its secret altar to Hinu<sup>n</sup>, God of + Thunder, and then bore a portion to the council-house, where a general + offering was burned in the council fire. “While the tobacco was burning + the agile and athletic danced the rain dance.”<a id="FNanchor_320" href="#Footnote_320" class="fnanchor">[320]</a></p> + + <p>The Eskimo of Alaska, it is asserted, will eat with relish the oily + refuse from the bottom of a pipe, and they are also fond of the + ashes of tobacco. The smoke is deeply inhaled by them, as by all the + tribes. Among the Arikarees a special pipe was kept in a “bird box.” + Any criminal or enemy who could reach this box and smoke the pipe was + free from molestation. This right of asylum is noticed in other ways. + It is said that the first whites who came among the Apaches, tired + and hungry, were not molested by them. Everywhere, if an enemy were + permitted to smoke the pipe or partake of food with the Amerinds he + was absolutely safe for the time being, both because of the pipe and + because the law of hospitality was never violated. If Macbeth had been + an Amerind no blood would have been shed on that fatal night, and + Duncan would have passed unharmed beyond the castle walls. The pipe was + the invariable accompaniment of all councils and treaties among Eastern + tribes, and it was the emblem of peace. Each village had its calumet, + a pipe of peace made of sacred pipe-stone, and whoever travelled with + it, passed, even among the enemy, with impunity. Envoys coming within + a short distance of the town would utter a cry and seat themselves on + the ground. “The great chief,” says George Bancroft, “bearing the peace + pipe of his tribe, with its mouth pointing to the skies, goes forth to + meet them, accompanied by a long procession of his clansmen, chanting + the hymn of peace. The strangers rise to receive them, singing also + a song, to put away all wars and to bury all revenge. As they meet, + each party smokes the pipe of the other, and peace is ratified. The + strangers are then conducted to the village; the herald goes out into + the street that divides the wigwams, and makes repeated proclamation + that the guests are friends; and the glory of the tribe is advanced by + the profusion of bear’s meat, and flesh of dogs, and hominy, which give + magnificence to the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_366">366</span>banquets in honour of the embassy.”<a id="FNanchor_321" href="#Footnote_321" class="fnanchor">[321]</a> Thus + would a war terminate. In beginning it among Eastern tribes, various + ceremonies preceded the departure of the warriors, especially the + war dance or scalp dance and accompanying songs, expressing contempt + for death and certainty of victory. Beckwourth remarks: “When war is + declared on any tribe, it is done by the council.<a id="FNanchor_322" href="#Footnote_322" class="fnanchor">[322]</a> If any party + goes out without authority of the council, they are all severely + whipped; and their whipping is no light matter, as I can personally + testify. It makes no difference how high the offender ranks, or how + great his popularity with the nation—there is no favour shown; the man + who disobeys orders is bound to be lashed, and if he resists or resents + the punishment, he suffers death.”<a id="FNanchor_323" href="#Footnote_323" class="fnanchor">[323]</a> Faces were variously decorated + for the warpath; and sometimes when a tribe is full of anger and + resentment, but not engaged in actual war, they will paint themselves + strangely. Once I was among the Shevwits of Arizona (1875) when they + were nursing their wrath against the Mormons, and the faces of the men + were painted in a way that perhaps seemed terrible to them, but which + was laughable to me. Some had the face divided into three or four + sections by different colours, for example: forehead white; left side + of face, black; right side, red; with lines of each colour over the + others. Ordinarily the number of wounds received in battle is recorded + by streaks of vermilion.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_365"> + <img src="images/i_365.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>SHRINE OF THE WAR-GODS, TWIN MOUNTAIN, PUEBLO OF ZUÑI, NEW MEXICO</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Before the acquisition of firearms and the horse, and the crowding + back of tribe against tribe by the whites, wars were in some parts + rather infrequent. Night attacks were never made. Captives were + often compelled to run the gauntlet, and if they did it bravely they + were adopted into the tribe. Frequently a captive was given his life + without this ordeal if he would join the tribe of the captors and fill + the place of some slain warrior. Cooper utilises this custom where + Deerslayer is offered his liberty if he will take the wife and family + of one he has killed and become a member of the tribe. Such adoption + always rested, however, on the consent of the kindred of the deceased. + The war-gods were propitiated by acts of cruelty, and by human + sacrifices from among the prisoners. It is related by Bancroft<a id="FNanchor_324" href="#Footnote_324" class="fnanchor">[324]</a> + that on one <span class="pagenum" id="Page_368">368</span>occasion the Iroquois sacrificed an Algonquin woman, + exclaiming, “Areskoni, to thee we burn this victim; feast on her + flesh and grant us new victories.” Her flesh was afterwards eaten as + a religious rite. Cannibalism of this kind prevailed in many tribes; + <em>always, ostensibly</em>, a religious ceremony, not a means of + satisfying hunger.

Powell defines a shaman as “a person who has the power to + control ghosts through magic.” They mortified their own flesh and the + priests of Mexico would pierce their tongues and draw through the wound + thus formed a long knotted cord, or twigs fastened together, or a cord + set with some animal’s claws or teeth. Speaking of Mexico, Prescott + says:<a id="FNanchor_335" href="#Footnote_335" class="fnanchor">[335]</a></p> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_373">373</span></p> + <p>“In no country, not even in ancient Egypt, were the dreams of the + astrologer more implicitly deferred to. On the birth of a child he was + instantly summoned. The time of the event was accurately ascertained, + and the family hung in trembling suspense as the minister of Heaven + cast the horoscope of the infant and unrolled the dark volume of + destiny. The influence of the priest was confessed by the Mexican in + the first breath which he inhaled.” Other tribes were not behind. + In some the shamans were hereditary, but it would seem that their + selection and appointment were due to various regulations existing + in the secret orders and also to a reputation for the possession of + occult power. Some writers hold that the shamans are self appointed, + but this does not seem to correspond with the intricacies of the + Amerindian social organisation. Powell adopts the Algonquin name for + them, <i>jossakeeds</i>, and describes them as the head men of the + fraternities. Whatever he may do to obtain his supposed magical powers, + it would appear reasonable to believe that so prominent a functionary + as this shaman, or jossakeed, would require in the beginning to be + a man of some distinction, or special initiation. In making such + decoctions as he used the shaman boiled various plants together with + a stone arrow-head, or similar article. Out of twenty plants used by + the Cherokees, only seven are noted in the United States Dispensatory. + “Five plants or 25 per cent.,” says Mooney, “are correctly used; 12 + or 60 per cent. are presumably either worthless or incorrectly used, + and three plants or 15 per cent. are so used that it is difficult + to say whether they are of any benefit or not. Granting that two of + these three produce good results as used by the Indians, we should + have 35 per cent., or about one third of the whole, as the proportion + actually possessing medical virtues, while the remaining two thirds + are inert, if not positively injurious.” “For a disease caused by the + rabbit the antidote must be a plant called ‘rabbit’s food,’ ‘rabbit’s + ear,’ or ‘rabbit’s tail’; for snake dreams, the plant used is ‘snake’s + tooth,’” and so on, “an empiric development of the fetich idea.”<a id="FNanchor_336" href="#Footnote_336" class="fnanchor">[336]</a> + No sanitary precautions were taken during the treatment except fasting. + When the patient eats, certain kinds of food are forbidden, but on the + ground of some fancied connection between the disease and the food.

Often there is very little dancing, and even that has a minor + part. The ceremonials take place at all times and seasons, many being + as absolutely fixed to a certain date as our own holidays or church + celebrations. The Eastern tribes had ceremonials on tapping the maple + trees, and others for the close of the maple-sugar season. There were + also the Corn-Planting Festival, the Strawberry Festival, the Bean + Festival, and the famous Green Corn Dance of the Iroquois, followed + by the Harvest Dance. Some ceremonials occur in their perfection only + at specified intervals, as the Snake Dance of the Mokis, which, while + performed annually at some one of the towns, is seen in its full glory + only once every two years at the village of Walpi. This now famous + ceremonial, in which a hundred or more rattlesnakes are used alive, + covers altogether a period of nine days, including the search for the + snakes, as well as rites performed in the kiva. It is only on the + last two days that there are public ceremonies. Spectators who are + known or have a proper introduction are sometimes allowed to visit a + kiva when it is reserved by the order owning or controlling it; at + other times a visitor is generally freely admitted. During my stay in + the Moki country I never was barred from any place that I desired to + enter; though it may have happened that I never tried to enter at a + time when outsiders were forbidden. The snakes are brought out of the + kiva by one set of priests, or shamans, and dropped on <span class="pagenum" id="Page_378">378</span>the ground + to be picked up by another set with much ceremony. At the end all + the snakes are carried to the valley and liberated to return through + their holes to the underworld, there to communicate the desires of + the people to the gods. The towns of the Mokis on the East Mesa are + now frequently visited by whites, but Oraibi and the others are not + so often approached. When I went to Oraibi, in 1885, we were followed + about by a band of curious small boys, and the women peered at us from + the roof hatchways, quickly ducking out of sight if one of us happened + to look their way. The men declined to talk except in monosyllables, + and I am free to confess that it was a relief to finally mount and ride + away. Oraibi has never had a reputation for hospitality. From there we + went to Shimopavi, where our reception was exactly the reverse of what + it had been at Oraibi, and I shall always remember with pleasure the + frank, genial, smiling men who received us in one of the chief kivas, + and the alacrity with which a clean repast of watermelon and piki was + brought and placed before us. This only shows what a difference in + manners may exist in the divisions of one tribe, and how easy it would + be to denounce all the Mokis as being surly and ugly, if one saw only + the Oraibi branch.</p> + + <div class="col50t"> + <figure class="figcenter illowp90" id="i_377"> + <img src="images/i_377-1.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>Sixth Ann.

After this + the bird’s body was carefully laid outside, near the door.</p> + + <p>Thus the struggles of a dazed bird are considered by these people a + portentous circumstance.</p> + + <p>The dancing of the Amerinds is everywhere much alike, and it is + generally performed in a circle. It has been described as a heel dance, + and with some tribes is apparently that because they seem to strike + the ground only with the heel, but it is usually a toe-and-heel step, + the toe first touching and then the heel being brought down with more + or less force. When rapidly done the separate touching of the toe + is hardly noticeable. The movement of the circle is commonly from + left to right, and during this progress various contortions are gone + through with, more or less violently according to the intensity of + the occasion. In the remarkable <i>Okeepa</i> ceremony of the Sioux + fearful tortures were submitted to, and sometimes a bison skull was + dragged around by means of ropes attached to skewers thrust through the + bodies and limbs of the performers. They were also pulled aloft in the + dancing-lodge by these skewers, and the pain was often so intense that + the devotee would faint. (See <a href="#i_382">page 382</a>.)

The others were so loaded that it was nearly impossible + to recognise in them human beings. The preparations for a ceremonial + occupy a week or two beforehand. One evening, some time before the + public performance of the Somaikoli, as I was walking from one village + to the other on the East Mesa, I was about half way when I suddenly + became aware of a hideous yelling ahead of me, and discovered the + flaring of torches in the darkness.

No controversy was + ever permitted, and to terminate it there were three methods: 1. When + controversy arises in relation to ownership, the property is usually + destroyed by the clan or by the tribal authorities. This is one + reason why property is found buried with Amerinds. By thus disposing + of it all controversy is avoided. Or the property may be completely + abandoned by all concerned, as in the case mentioned by Powell, where + a war party of Sioux surprised and killed a squad of sleeping soldiers + at the first volley. “Their arms, blankets, and other property were + untouched because the attacking party being large, it could not be + decided by whose bullets the soldiers were slain.” 2. If two persons + come to blows, it is, unless serious injury be done, considered a final + settlement. Appeal to authority is thereby forever barred in that + matter. 3. Establishment of a day or festival once a month, usually + once a year, beyond which crimes do not pass. Marriage is by what is + called legal appointment. In this way controversy over the women of + a tribe is largely avoided, for little is left to personal choice. + But kinship groups allowed to intermarry do not remain stationary in + numbers, hence, one set of men may have many wives to choose from, + another few, which, says Powell, leads to modification of the principle + and three additional forms of marriage are the result, by elopement, + by capture, and by duel. That is, if a pair elope and can evade their + pursuers till the day limiting controversy has passed, they are safe + from molestation. We once met an interesting example of this class in + the Uinta Valley, Utah, and with our boats put the runaways across + Green River, thus obliterating their trail, though at the time we did + not so well understand the situation. A group of men who have but a + limited class to choose wives from sometimes combine to capture for one + of their number a wife from some other group within their own tribe. + A fight is often the result, but without weapons.

Then he was amazed at the information that + the girl belonged to him and he must keep her. This he declined to do + and turned her over again to their tender mercies. These three forms of + marriage become roundabout methods of personal choice. When the supply + of wives is normal the young man in some tribes goes out into the woods + by a certain trail, and if the girl of his choice follows him, it is + considered a marriage, and is celebrated with prescribed <span class="pagenum" id="Page_386">386</span>ceremonies. + Polygamy was practised by most tribes. Among the Navajos, who buy their + wives, it is very common, but there a wife can depart at pleasure, and + as the husband acquires no right to her property, she takes it with her.</p> + + <p>Totemism is an important custom in vogue among all the stocks of the + continent, and it was probably a custom the world over when tribes + were in a certain stage. The word totem is derived from the Ojibwa, + and is said to have first been introduced into literature by one Long, + an interpreter. Totems are of three kinds: clan totems, sex totems, + and individual totems. The first are the most important.<a id="FNanchor_346" href="#Footnote_346" class="fnanchor">[346]</a> Totemism + is at the same time a religious and a social system. The totem is + usually an animal, as a frog, bear, bat, etc. The Amerind believes that + between these objects and himself there is a particular bond, and he + has for them the most profound respect. From them he believes himself + descended. Therefore he would not harm an animal that was his totem. + The Bear clan would not kill a bear, the Red Maize clan would not eat + red maize, and so on. Totemism existed among the Israelites, and the + objection to eating pork is supposed by some to rest on the pig having + been one of their totems. The Amerind also generally derived his name + from some animal or object, and he represented this as his individual + totem mark. In the totem poles of the North west coast, these various + representations of totems were combined and set up before the door to + indicate the relationships of the persons who lived there.<a id="FNanchor_347" href="#Footnote_347" class="fnanchor">[347]</a></p> + + <p>Cleanliness varies among the tribes, and is sometimes in proportion + to the ease or difficulty with which water can be procured. The Mokis + who live in an arid country and have to carry water long distances + seldom waste it in bathing or washing, though I did once see an old + Moki fill his mouth with water and blow it out in instalments over his + hands. The Omahas, according to Dorsey, generally bathe twice every day + in warm weather. They used to help women and children to alight from + horses, and sometimes carried them over streams on their backs. Old + men and women were never abandoned by them. Some men were not wanting + in gallantry. Dorsey tells of a young woman who <span class="pagenum" id="Page_388">388</span>wished to halt at a + spring. Her brother was with her.

To assist in recalling them they had their + picture-writing, already described. The method is well illustrated in + the remarkable <i>Walam Olum</i>, or Red Score of the Lenapé, where + a most poetic account of the origin of things is recorded by means + of a few rude pictures made by lines and dots.<a id="FNanchor_351" href="#Footnote_351" class="fnanchor">[351]</a> There has been + some doubt as to the genuineness of this score, first recorded by + Rafinesque, but Brinton, who was a scholar of fine intellect and calm + judgment and thoroughly versed in all the intricacies of the situation, + accepted it as a genuine Amerind production “which was repeated orally + to someone indifferently conversant with the Delaware language, who + wrote it down to the best of his ability. In its present form it + can, as a whole, lay no claim either to antiquity, or to purity of + linguistic form. Yet, as an authentic modern version, slightly coloured + by European teachings, of the ancient tribal traditions, it is well + worth preservation.... The narrator was probably one of the native + chiefs or priests, who had spent his life in the Ohio and Indiana + towns of the Lenapé, and who, though with some knowledge of Christian + instruction, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_392">392</span>preferred the pagan rites, legends, and myths of his + ancestors. Probably certain lines and passages were repeated in the + archaic form in which they had been handed down for generations.... The + cosmogony describes the formation of the world by the Great Manito, + and its subsequent despoliation by the spirit of the waters, under the + form of a serpent.

In the face of all this Schoolcraft + makes Hiawatha, who is peculiarly Iroquois, the leading personage in + his Algonkin conglomerate: Hiawatha being an Iroquois character of + Central New York (he is connected more particularly with the region + about Schenectady), while the actions to which Schoolcraft relates + him pertain to the Algonkin Chippewas near Lake Superior.

To him + it was not a place where a gold mine might be found, or good grazing + or tillable soil, but he looked upon the far distance as the home of + magical beings. Did the wind blow? It was the breath of some monster + dwelling in a cave in the far west, or it was the beating of the wings + of giant birds living at the four quarters of the compass. It was not + to the sky alone that he looked for the abode of his gods; they came + to him from every direction, even from the bowels of the earth. We + know what the earth contains and we grope for the unknown. The Amerind + did not know what the earth contains; it was still to him the abode of + monsters and ghosts.</p> + + <p>There is in some respects so great a similarity between the myths of + the New World and those of the Old, that it was at first assumed that + there must have been early communication with Europe, but more careful + analysis has shown that this is but another evidence of what may be + called the parallelism of human development. Even where the similarity + is greatest there is nothing to prove that the myths did not originate + independently, and they <span class="pagenum" id="Page_397">397</span>are merely the results of similar thoughts, in + similar stages of ignorance, about the sun, the sky, and natural forces.</p> + + <p>The <i>Popol Vuh</i>, the great collection of Quiche myths, presents + Gukumatz as one of the four principal gods who created the world. + Gukumatz means shining or brilliant snake, and hence seems to be + the same character as that known to the Nahuatls, or Aztecs, as + Quetzalcohuatl, whose name also means bright or shining snake. But + among the Aztecs Quetzalcohuatl is represented as a man, while Gukumatz + is purely a god. Quetzalcohuatl was the third of the four Mexican or + Aztec gods, and to him is ascribed all the wisdom which came to the + Aztecs. He appears under two forms, as a god and as an historical + personage. He has been frequently identified with the dawn, but there + seems to be good reason for believing that he was a real character, who + became deified as his good deeds passed down to successive generations. + Such prophets and teachers rise up in all times, in all ages, by the + wayside of tribal or national development, like some rare and favoured + tree of the forest which out-tops all the others. A divine origin may + be claimed for these teachers and prophets, but generally they are only + men endowed with an extremely fine moral sense and with a perception + and knowledge beyond their time. “Among the Tzendals of Chiapas, the + tradition of Votan, who is said to have been the first founder of + that tribe, bears great resemblance to Quetzalcohuatl.”<a id="FNanchor_356" href="#Footnote_356" class="fnanchor">[356]</a> After an + admirable discussion of the subject of the character and origin of + Quetzalcohuatl, Bandelier sifts the matter down to this: that he was “a + prominent gifted Indian leader, who certainly preceded the coming of + those Nahuatl tribes that subsequently formed the valley confederacy, + as well as that of the later tribe of Tlaxcallan. The claim to his + origin accordingly rests between the so-called Toltecs on one side + and the Olmeca and Xicalanca on the other.”<a id="FNanchor_357" href="#Footnote_357" class="fnanchor">[357]</a> Brinton believed + that Quetzalcohuatl was a pure personification of the dawn myth,<a id="FNanchor_358" href="#Footnote_358" class="fnanchor">[358]</a> + but there is too much testimony on the opposite side to permit the + acceptance of this opinion as final. It must not be forgotten that + there were very good, extremely good, almost saintly, men, and <span class="pagenum" id="Page_399">399</span>women, + too, among the Amerinds. The historical Mexican tribes were preceded + by other tribes, some of which had apparently reached a higher state + of culture than the Aztecs, and Quetzalcohuatl possibly came from one + of them as a teacher to the newer and less cultivated people; newer + in the sense of having come into that region from some distance off. + There is nothing preposterous in supposing that there were teachers + and moralists in the early days of this continent. The character of + a high-thinking teacher is not incompatible with some of the tribes + that have lived and died on North-American soil. As stated previously, + never were all the tribes of the continent in one culture condition; + there were always tribes that could teach something to other tribes, + and undoubtedly philanthropic individuals sometimes attempted the + rôle of missionaries, just as they do in other races to-day. In fact, + the recent “Resurrection Dance” or “Ghost Dance” had its prophet who + preached to the natives that “the earth was to be all good hereafter; + that we must be friends with one another.” Fighting, he declared, was + “bad and all must keep from it.” “There is no doubt that his religious + teachings rest on a well-ordained religious system, and in spite of + the numerous false reports that are spread about him, he does not + claim to be either God or Jesus Christ, the Messiah, or any divine, + superhuman being whatever. ‘I am the annunciator of God’s message from + the spiritual world and a prophet for the Indian people,’ is the way he + defines the scope of his work among men.... Thus he considers himself a + messenger of God appointed in a dream, and has on that account compared + himself to St. John the Baptist.”<a id="FNanchor_359" href="#Footnote_359" class="fnanchor">[359]</a> This man is a full-blood, and + it is evident that such an inspiration might have seized a man of a + similar temperament at any period of Amerind history, and given rise + finally to legends and worship that would incorrectly be ascribed to + the myth of the dawn.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp80" id="i_398"> + <img src="images/i_398.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>ANCIENT FABRIC-MARKED POTSHERDS, WITH CLAY CASTS BY HOLMES<br> + See <a href="#Page_108">page 108</a></figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>Quetzalcohuatl at length departed with a promise to return, and it + was the belief that he would return that caused Montezuma to at first + mistake the bearded Spaniards for his emissaries.

In the + same way Coronado found <span class="pagenum" id="Page_403">403</span>crosses in New Mexico, and there were also in + Yucatan the tablets of the cross referred to in a previous chapter. The + early Spaniards turned loose their own myths in the New World and then + started in pursuit of them.

The peculiar interest, however, + which attaches to a comparison of Amerind and Israelite myths lies + in the fact that they resemble each other, not only genetically, but + specifically. They are alike in their details. Mallery has given much + attention to this subject, and he says that “an Ojibway tradition + tells the adventures of eight, ten, and sometimes twelve brothers, the + youngest of whom is the wisest and the most beloved of their father, + and especially favoured by the high powers. He delivers his brothers + from many difficulties which were brought about by their folly and + disobedience. Particularly he supplies them with corn.... The Chahta + have an elaborate story of their migrations, in which they were + guided by a pole leaning in the direction which they should take, and + remaining vertical at each place where they should encamp. A still + closer resemblance to the guidance of the Israelites in the desert by + a pillar of fire is found in the legendary migrations of the Tusayan + (Mokis), when indication was made by the movement and the halting + of a star. The Pai Utes were sustained in a great march through the + desert by water that continually filled the magic cup given to the + Sokus Waiunats in a dream until all were satisfied; and a similarly + miraculous supply of food to the starving multitude is reported by the + same people. In the genesis myth of the Tusayan, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_405">405</span>the culture hero + was enabled to pass dry-shod through lakes and rivers by throwing a + staff upon the waters, which were at once divided as by walls.... Mr. + W. W. Warren, in his <cite>History of the Ojibway Nation</cite>, tells that + he sometimes translated parts of Bible history to the old Ojibway men, + and their expression invariably was, ‘The book must be true, for our + ancestors have told us similar stories generation after generation + since the earth was new.’” There is also a strong resemblance between + many of the Amerind myths and stories, and those of the negro, as + anyone may see who will compare them with Harris’s delightful <cite>Uncle Remus</cite>.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_404"> + <img src="images/i_404.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>ONE OF THE BUILDINGS OF THE PALENQUE GROUP<br> + House “C” on Maudsley’s plan<br> + Construction: stone.

The same little elf crops out in the Moki country in + the form of the Kwokwuli, a malignant sprite lurking in out-of-the-way + places. He is about knee-high and conceals himself behind a rock + or bush, like the Breton Korrigans inhabiting the Dolmens, and + when a Moki appears he calls out in a shrill falsetto voice, + “<i>Kwo-kwul-i-ul-i</i>.” If the hearer gives no heed to the cry he may + pass by in safety, but should he willingly or unwillingly express any + notice he must approach the elf, who immediately climbs on his back and + holds fast round his neck—Sindbad’s Old-Man-of-the-Sea over again.

These were stone giants, and they + inhabited the west. Once upon a time they started to come and destroy + the Senecas, and a war party of the latter proceeded to the encounter. + Before the battle came off a mighty wind came out of the west and + swept all the giants into <span class="pagenum" id="Page_407">407</span>a vast abyss from which they could not + escape, and because of this friendly act the West Wind became one of + the Seneca gods, and was revered ever after. And the Eskimo, while + themselves furnishing the material for more southerly tribes to build + myths on, have their own tales of a tribe called Ardnainiq, living in + the extreme North-west. The men of this people are small as children, + but entirely covered with hair. They are carried about in the hoods + of their wives like babies, the wives being of normal size. They have + also stories of a race of women. The Iroquois believed that there was + a strange creature consisting simply of a head with large eyes and + long hair, called “Great Head.” When he saw any live thing he growled, + “I see thee, I see thee, thou shalt die.” They also had their race of + dwarfs with wonderful powers, who carved the cliffs and caves and could + destroy monster animals.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp67" id="i_406"> + <img src="images/i_406.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>COSTUME WORN IN THE KWAKIUTL FESTIVALS CALLED LAŌLAXA, NORTH-WEST COAST</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>The coyote, the bear, the sun, and all the animals are endowed with + speech and great cunning, the coyote especially so among some of the + Western tribes, and are conceived as possessing human attributes, like + the “Brer Rabbit” and other animals whose prowess is related by Uncle + Remus.

I arrived + at an out-of-the-way mine one night with two Amerind guides. It was + winter and a stone cabin was placed at my disposal, to which I sent + the natives while my white companions and I visited the men in charge. + The natives presently came in, saying there was something wrong at + the cabin, and they would not stay in it or even near it. When we + investigated we discovered that the whole trouble arose from the + ticking of a small clock, which we forthwith stopped; but nevertheless + they would not remain there alone.</p> + + <p>Flood stories are numerous with all tribes, and whether they arose + in local inundations or in some vast and general flood cannot now be + determined. If in the latter, it would be melting ice of the glacial + period. A fabulous being in Eskimo mythology is Kalopaling, who lives + in the sea. His body is like that of a human being and he wears + clothing made out of eider ducks’ skins. His <span class="pagenum" id="Page_408">408</span>jacket has an enormous + hood, into which he thrusts any boatman that may be drowned.

When the + limits were not placed at a river, lake, or mountain range they were + marked by certain trees or stones, or other natural features along the + trails. When at peace, those who entered another domain were considered + visitors, and they were expected to be friendly with all friends of the + occupants of the region. “Both the Kuchins and the Eskimos are very + jealous,” says H. H.

I rejoiced in this fact at the time because the + Shevwits had not been entirely agreeable, and I was glad to pass the + point where I was certain they would not bother us. We were now in the + country of the Santa Clara tribe.</p> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_411">411</span></p> + + <p>The Iroquois had the habit of occupying both banks of a river or lake, + hence they did not utilise these as boundaries, but ran straight lines, + marked here and there by some well-known object. “On the boundary + line between the Onondagas and Oneidas,” says Morgan,<a id="FNanchor_364" href="#Footnote_364" class="fnanchor">[364]</a> “the most + prominent point was the Deep Spring (Deosongwa) near Manlius, in the + county of Onondaga. This spring not only marked the limital line + between them, but it was a well-known stopping-place on the great + central trail or highway of the Iroquois.... From Deep Spring the + line ran due south into Pennsylvania, crossing the Susquehanna near + its confluence with the Chenango. North of this spring the line was + deflected to the west, leaving in the Oneida territory the whole + circuit of the lake. Crossing the She-u-ka or Oneida outlet, a few + miles below the lake, the line inclined again to the east, until it + reached the meridian of the Deep Spring. From thence it ran due north, + crossing Black River, at the site of Watertown, and the St. Lawrence to + the eastward of the Thousand Islands.”</p> + + <p>This line separated territories belonging to two tribes of the + celebrated league, and was not a boundary between hostile or different + tribes. The Iroquois were exact about their internal boundary lines, + because it served to keep each member of the confederacy distinct and + independent, and enabled the idea of home rule to be properly carried + out. They always knew just whose ground they were on, just as we know + to-day which county or State we are in. It was another mark of the + wisdom with which the confederacy was planned.</p> + + <p>When the whites came to these shores and took possession right and + left of the soil, they immediately stirred up the hostility of the + owners, who naturally desired to be considered in the matter. Penn did + consider them, and he had no trouble; and I have no doubt much of the + fighting and enmity which followed our coming might have been avoided + if Europeans had more fully recognised the native rights and had paid a + fair equivalent for what they wanted. But there was nothing to compel + this attention to the moral side, and justice must have force to bind + it; besides, owing to the large influx of whites, the Amerinds were + inevitably driven back. The English in a measure finally recognised + the Iroquois rights and then afterwards turned this to good account + by claiming sovereignty over the territory on the ground that the + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_412">412</span>Iroquois were British subjects. The Navajos recognise the San Juan + River as their northern limit and the Southern Utes correspondingly + accepted it as their southern limit. “The claims of the Susquehannocks + extended down the Chesapeake Bay on the east shore, as far as the + Choptank River and on the west shore as far as the Patuxent. In 1654 + they ceded to the government of Maryland their southern territory to + these boundaries.”<a id="FNanchor_365" href="#Footnote_365" class="fnanchor">[365]</a> Thus it is proved that Maryland recognised + their ownership. These examples are enough to show that the territorial + rights of each tribe were definitely understood, just as nations to-day + have established limits. When the settlements of our people finally + crowded tribes back upon each other’s domain, a great deal of confusion + and dispute arose as to ownership, and when the government began to + pay for lands it was often necessary to pay for the same tract several + times, owing to the conflicting claims.</p> + + <p>Scattered over the territory claimed or held by a tribe were the houses + and villages of the tribe or the sub-tribes. Powell states that “every + tribe lived in a village, and every village constituted a distinct + tribe.” But the village was often spread over a wide region. Speaking + of this, Adair says: “A stranger might be in the middle of one of their + populous, extensive towns without seeing half a dozen houses in the + direct course of his path.”<a id="FNanchor_366" href="#Footnote_366" class="fnanchor">[366]</a> But this was only in the interior of + the country of a tribe. Along the frontier the towns would be more + compactly arranged, in order that the people might easily be called + to defend them. The villages were usually permanent, though they were + frequently, some annually, abandoned temporarily at certain seasons + for the pursuit of game or for some other good reason, all the people + coming together again as the cold weather approached. The Navajos often + have a winter home in the lower, sheltered lands of their territory, + while in summer they proceed to the higher levels where the winter + snows are deep and the summer grass is high. Each Amerind village + always had at least one assembly place for which they had their special + names, but the general term that is now often used by ethnologists + is that of <i>kiva</i>,<a id="FNanchor_367" href="#Footnote_367" class="fnanchor">[367]</a> borrowed from the Mokis, because the + Moki kiva is a representative of the general assembly hall and + council-chamber, or lodge. The kiva, besides <span class="pagenum" id="Page_414">414</span>being used for social + purposes, as a lounging-place and a working-place for the men, is + also used for religious functions. Those structures, therefore, which + crowned the mounds of the United States and Mexico, and are usually + designated as “temples,” were possibly more of the nature of kivas, + a temple in our usage being a structure devoted solely to worship, + whereas many Amerind buildings of this class were used for various + purposes. Often there were several, depending on the size of the tribe. + The tribe was organised on the basis of the gens or the clan, and each + gens or clan might have its own kiva. They might also belong to some of + the secret orders, so that we may enumerate three kinds: the tribal, + or chief kiva, the kiva belonging to the gens or clan, and the kiva + belonging to the phratry, or secret society. The gens and the clan were + groups of blood relations, or, as put by Powell, “an organised body + of consanguineal kindred.”<a id="FNanchor_368" href="#Footnote_368" class="fnanchor">[368]</a> The members of a gens often lived in + one house or in a group of houses; for example, among the Iroquois in + the long-house,<a id="FNanchor_369" href="#Footnote_369" class="fnanchor">[369]</a> with its row of camp-fires, while in some other + tribes each family might have its own house or tent, but they would + then generally pitch or build it contiguous to the other habitations + of their gens. It was this principle, in vogue in almost all the + tribes of America, which directed the character of most of the Amerind + structures. Everybody in a tribe belonged to a gens or clan, otherwise + he could not be in the tribe. The complete organisation of the tribe + then was: a group of families forming a gens or clan, two gentes being + represented in each family; the “father must belong to one gens and + the mother and her children to another,” descent being commonly in + the female line, and marriage within a gens being forbidden; a group + of gentes formed the phratry, and a group of phratries formed the + tribe, while a group of tribes formed the confederacy, probably the + highest form of government the Amerinds reached. The phratry as an + organisation was often absent, and the tribe was then composed of the + gentes without any further grouping. Powell seems to use “phratry” in + a different sense from Morgan and some other writers. Morgan described + a phratry as a group of gentes, whereas Powell defines it as simply + a brotherhood or society. Each gens governed itself so far as its + internal affairs were concerned; that is, it had home rule, just as + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_416">416</span>we have it to-day in our towns, counties, etc. It sent delegates + to the council of the tribe to represent it, and it elected its own + officers. There was sometimes no tribal or head chief. I never could + learn of any among the Navajos, and the Iroquois had none. When, as was + frequent, there was a sachem, or tribal chief, he was chosen or elected + by the chiefs of the various clans or gentes forming the council, + but in some tribes he inherited the office, or at least the right to + hold it. I understood this to be the case among the Kaivavits Utes of + southern Utah. A gens had the right to take into its ranks any alien + it chose to. Such a person was then a member of that gens and partook + of all the benefits or disadvantages, as the case might be. He was a + son or brother or husband, or the corresponding relationships if a + woman, and on all occasions was treated as if he had been born into the + gens or clan instead of adopted into it. He was therefore eligible for + all offices in the tribe, and white men in this way sometimes became + chiefs. Beckwourth,<a id="FNanchor_370" href="#Footnote_370" class="fnanchor">[370]</a> who, however, was really supposed by a Crow + woman to be her long-lost son, became head chief of the Crows, and held + the office with distinction for a number of years. He began by being + fifth councillor. “In the Crow nation there are six councillors, and by + them the nation is ruled. There are also two head chiefs, who sit with + the council whenever it is in session. The office of first councillor + is the highest in the nation next to the head chiefs, whose authority + is equal. If in any of these divisions, when a matter is brought to + the vote, the suffrages are equal, one of the old pipemen is summoned + before the council and the subject under discussion is stated to him, + with the substance of the arguments advanced on both sides; after + hearing this he gives his casting vote, and the question is finally + settled.”<a id="FNanchor_371" href="#Footnote_371" class="fnanchor">[371]</a></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp70" id="i_413"> + <img src="images/i_413.jpg" alt=""> + <div class="attl">Photographed by J.

Opinion could crowd a civil + chief into retirement, and could dictate his successor.” Opinion was a + most potent factor in all tribes, and this would be largely directed + by those having popularity and power. Officers, in fact all persons, + become extremely well known in the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_418">418</span>small community of an Amerind + tribe. Every peculiarity of temperament was understood, and the + individual was respected or despised according to his predominating + characteristics. Those who were bold and fierce and full of strategy + were made war-chiefs, while those who possessed judgment and decision + were made civil chiefs or governors. In many tribes the civil and the + military branches of government are separate and distinct. Certain + chieftains were the peace chiefs. “They could neither go to war + themselves, nor send nor receive the war belt—the ominous string of + dark wampum, which indicated that the tempest of strife was to be let + loose. Their proper badge was the wampum belt, with a diamond-shaped + figure in the centre, worked in white beads, which was the symbol + of the peaceful council fire, and was called by that name. War was + declared by the people at the instigation of the ‘war-captains,’ + valorous braves, of any birth or family, who had distinguished + themselves by personal prowess, and especially by good success in + forays against the enemy. Nor did the authority of the chiefs extend + to any infringement on the traditional rights of the gens, as, for + instance, that of blood revenge. The ignorance of this limitation of + the central power led to various misunderstandings at the time, on the + part of the colonial authorities, and since then, by later historians. + Thus in 1728 the Delaware Indians on Brandywine were summoned by the + Governor to answer about a murder. Their chief, Civility, answered that + it was committed by the Minisinks, ‘over whom they had no authority.’ + This did not mean but that in some matters authority could be exerted, + but not in a question relating to a feud of blood.”<a id="FNanchor_372" href="#Footnote_372" class="fnanchor">[372]</a> War-chiefs as + well as civil chiefs were elected by the council, and could be deposed + also by the council whenever it was desirable.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp80" id="i_417"> + <img src="images/i_417.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>NORTH-WEST COAST MORTUARY AND COMMEMORATIVE COLUMNS + <ul class="left hang"> + <li>A.

In fact, no one + element of the system was uniformly respected, and it is an error of + theorists to make it appear so. It varied widely in the same stock and + in all its expressions.”<a id="FNanchor_373" href="#Footnote_373" class="fnanchor">[373]</a> This intricate subject cannot be fully + understood till the organisation of many tribes has been studied in + detail. “In some tribes, as the Dakota, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_419">419</span>the gentes had fallen out; + in others as among the Ojibways, the Omahas and the Mayas of Yucatan + descent had been changed from the female to the male line.”<a id="FNanchor_374" href="#Footnote_374" class="fnanchor">[374]</a> But + Powell and Morgan both hold that the majority of the Amerind tribes + were organised on the basis of descent in the female line. “The gens + came into being,” says Morgan, “upon three principal conceptions, + namely: the bond of kin, a pure lineage through descent in the female + line, and non-intermarriage in the gens.”<a id="FNanchor_375" href="#Footnote_375" class="fnanchor">[375]</a></p> + + <p>Powell in his article on the “North American Indians” in Johnson’s + <cite>Cyclopedia</cite> seems to use the term “clan” to describe a body of + kindred with descent in the female line, and “gens” where the descent + is in the male line. “In most of the tribes the fundamental unit of + organisation was the clan,” he says, and then again, “a few of the + tribes were organised on the gentile plan and in the gens kinship is + reckoned in the male line.” Such a distinction would be convenient, + but Morgan did not recognise it at the time of his writing, as is + evident from the quotation above from his <cite>Ancient Society</cite>, + and general usage seems not to have defined gens to mean descent in + either line specifically. Nevertheless, there is probably no reason + why the distinction should not be made with regard to the Amerinds, at + least, if it should be agreed upon. Powell also says: “As a clan is a + group of people who reckon kinship through females to some ancestral + female, real or conventional, so a gens is a group of people who reckon + kinship through males to some ancestral male, real or conventional. + It seems that the primordial constitution of the tribe is by clanship + and that the clanship tribe is developed into the gentile tribe. Most + of the tribes of North America have clanship organisation, yet there + is a goodly number with gentile organisation, while perhaps it may be + said that a majority of the clanship tribes have some elements of the + gentile organisation; so that it may be justly affirmed that a great + many of the tribes on this continent are in the stage of transition, + and there is scarcely a gentile tribe which has not some feature + of clanship organisation as a survival.”<a id="FNanchor_376" href="#Footnote_376" class="fnanchor">[376]</a> The privileges and + obligations of the gens (or clan) were, according to Morgan as follows:</p> + + <p>“I. The right of electing its sachem or chief.</p> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_420">420</span></p> + + <p>“II. The right of deposing its sachem or chief.</p> + + <p>“III. The obligation not to marry in the gens.</p> + + <p>“IV. Mutual rights of inheritance of the property of deceased members.</p> + + <p>“V. Reciprocal obligations of help, defence, and redress of injuries.</p> + + <p>“VI. The right of bestowing names upon its members.</p> + + <p>“VII. The right of adopting strangers into the gens.</p> + + <p>“VIII. Common religious rites.</p> + + <p>“IX. A common burial-place.</p> + + <p>“X. A council of the gens.”<a id="FNanchor_377" href="#Footnote_377" class="fnanchor">[377]</a></p> + + <p>Among the Wyandots there is a council in each gens composed of four + women. “These four women councillors select a chief of the gens from + its male members—that is, from their brothers and sons. This gentile + chief is the head of the gentile council. The council of the tribe is + composed of the aggregated gentile councils. The tribal council then is + composed of one-fifth men and four-fifths women.”<a id="FNanchor_378" href="#Footnote_378" class="fnanchor">[378]</a> This is not the + case with other tribes, however. Among the Tlinkits it is the richest + who “obtain the highest places,” the selection of the chiefs depending + entirely on the amount of property they have; that is, on a property + basis. These Amerinds have a better appreciation of property than any + others I have ever seen. They seldom haggle, but in selling they state + a price and adhere to it. A smaller amount offered is usually treated + with scorn.</p> + + <p>The sign of clan or gens membership was the totem, all members of the + same gens having the same totem, and his or her name usually indicating + this totem. For example, if we know an Amerind woman’s name to be + Spotted Fawn, we place her at once in the deer clan. The deer is the + animal that she looks up to as being most intimately connected with + her past and her future, and from which her ancestors were descended. + This is the clan or gens totem. As mentioned in a previous chapter, + there are also two other kinds of totems, those pertaining to sex and + those pertaining to the individual alone. Totems are always chosen from + a class of organic objects, while a fetich may be anything at all. + Thus the totems are deer, frogs, bears, snakes, corn, etc., while a + fetich may be a pebble, a piece of glass wrapped in a bit <span class="pagenum" id="Page_421">421</span>of buckskin + together with a feather, or some similar object. The fetich was a + talisman, the totem a beneficent attending spirit and a sign of family + and origin.</p> + + <p>The Iroquois confederacy was planned by Hiawatha through Däganowédä + as an interpreter of his ideas and wishes.

We + cannot say, however, that it was <em>the</em> highest that ever existed, + next to that of the Aztecs or the other Central Amerinds, for we really + do not know what there may have been before, not only in Mexico and + Central America, but in the Mississippi valley or even in the State + of New York. As noted in a previous chapter, if the Iroquois had + disappeared before our arrival, we could have gained no conception + of their remarkable government from any remains that we would have + found. The Mississippi valley and the South-west, as well as Mexico and + Central America, exhibit traces of tribes who may easily have arrived + at a governmental development equal to, if, indeed, not superior to, + that of the Aztecs or the Iroquois. These tribes were undoubtedly + Amerind, but there is nothing to prove that earlier Amerind tribes were + inferior in their political development to later ones.</p> + + <p>The misconceptions of the Spaniards due to ignorance of Amerind + organisation gave false colouring to the Aztec confederacy; and the + flowing diction of Prescott, gemmed with terms and titles applicable + to Old-World society, but having no place in that of the New, added to + the confusion. Pages relating to “nobles,” “princes,” “royal allies,” + “sovereigns,” “lords,” etc., do not help in fathoming the intricacies + of Amerind government. Had the Spaniards met with the Iroquois we + should have had something similar in their case; and the fact that they + had no head chief would not have been discovered by the conquistadores, + so eager for other prey. One of the war-chiefs would again have been + taken for a royal personage, and the sachems and councillors would + have been nobles and princes, while the outlying tribes of <span class="pagenum" id="Page_423">423</span>the Five + Nations would have filled the bill for royal allies. It is likely + that the Aztec government was in advance of that of the Iroquois, + but that there was any royalty about it must be doubted till better + evidence is available. On the other hand, Morgan’s attempt to prove + that the Aztec organisation was not beyond that of the Pueblos or the + Iroquois is to be taken with caution. Brinton says: “The government + of these states did not differ in principle from that of the northern + tribes, though its development had reached a later stage. Descent was + generally reckoned in the male line, and the male children of the + deceased were regarded as the natural heirs both to his property and + his dignities. Where the latter, however, belonged rather to the gens + than the individual, a form of election was held, the children of the + deceased being given the preference. In this sense, which was the usual + limitation in America, many positions were hereditary, including that + of the chieftaincy of the tribe or confederation. The Montezuma who + was the ruler who received Cortez, was the grandson of Axayacatl, who + in turn was the son of the first Montezuma, each of whom exercised the + chief power.”<a id="FNanchor_380" href="#Footnote_380" class="fnanchor">[380]</a> The daughter of the first Montezuma seems to have + occupied the position of head chief for a time, or, as Prescott would + put it, she was queen. It is possible that while Montezuma was a war + chief he may have combined certain civil powers with his war office, + and that the confederacy was actually on the road to an absolute + monarchy<a id="FNanchor_381" href="#Footnote_381" class="fnanchor">[381]</a> or something of the kind, which, if human progress + takes always the same general directions, was the next stage to be + expected on this soil. Bandelier, Morgan, and others see in the various + Mexican tribes and confederacies little that is different from the + organisation of the Amerinds to the northward, and probably when all is + well understood we may find that they are not far from correct; that, + while there are differences, they are yet not sufficient to entitle + the Mexicans to the separation from other Amerinds that has been + claimed for them by romantic writers. Speaking of Tlaxcala, the famous + “province” where Cortes found a resting-place on his inward journey, + Bandelier says: “Owing to a misconception of aboriginal institutions, + it has been palmed off as a kind of Mexican Switzerland, as a free + republic in the midst of despotically ruled communities. Such was not + the case. There was not <span class="pagenum" id="Page_424">424</span>the slightest fundamental difference between + the social organisation and mode of government of the Tlaxcaltecos and + that of the Mexican tribe; but the exceptional geographical position of + the latter and the natural barrenness of their land led them to seek + means of subsistence from abroad. The confederacy of tribes grew out of + tribal organisation, and the greater ability of the inhabitants of the + Central Valley gave to their confederacy a power of aggression superior + to that of any other aboriginal cluster in the same country.... The + Tlaxcaltecos were organised in four localised <i>phratries</i>, like + the Mexicans. Two elective chiefs—that is, elective in regard to the + individual, but with heredity of office in a certain <i>gens</i>—formed + the nominal head of the tribe. The true directive power, however, + lay in the council of the tribe. The tribe of Mexico had a similar + organisation. What created an apparent dissimilarity was the + confederacy of the valley tribes, with its chief-captain always taken + from the Mexicans. As, in the single tribe, the war-chief office was + hereditary in the <i>gens</i>, so, in the confederacy, the same office + becomes hereditary in the <em>tribe</em>.”<a id="FNanchor_382" href="#Footnote_382" class="fnanchor">[382]</a> How different is the + wording of Prescott when speaking of the Aztec organisation! “The + government was an elective monarchy. Four of the principal nobles, who + had been chosen by their own body in the preceding reign, filled the + office of electors, to whom were added, with merely honourary rank, + however, the two royal allies of Tezcuco and Tlacopan. The sovereign + was selected from the brothers of the deceased prince, or, in default + of them, from his nephews. Thus the election was always restricted + to the same family. The candidate preferred must have distinguished + himself in war, though, as in the case of the last Montezuma.”<a id="FNanchor_383" href="#Footnote_383" class="fnanchor">[383]</a> + In other words, the election was restricted to a certain gens. Morgan + says: “Nearly all American Indian tribes had two grades of chiefs, + who may be distinguished as sachems and common chiefs. Of these two + primary grades all other grades were varieties. They were elected in + each gens from among its members. A son could not be chosen to succeed + his father when descent was in the female line, because he belonged to + a different gens, and no gens would have a chief or sachem from any + gens but its own.” (Morgan here evidently forgot the right of adoption. + It would be perfectly regular, should a gens wish to do so, to adopt + a son into <span class="pagenum" id="Page_425">425</span>the gens in order that he might succeed his father.) “The + office of sachem was hereditary in the gens, in the sense that it was + filled as often as a vacancy occurred; while the office of chief was + non-hereditary, because it was bestowed in reward of personal merit, + and died with the individual. Moreover, the duties of a sachem were + confined to the affairs of peace. He could not go out to war as a + sachem. On the other hand, the chiefs who were raised to office for + personal bravery, for wisdom of affairs, or for eloquence in council, + were usually the superior class in ability, though not in authority + over the gens. The relation of the sachem was primarily to the gens, of + which he was the official head, while that of the chief was primarily + to the tribe, of the council of which he, as well as the sachem, were + members.”<a id="FNanchor_384" href="#Footnote_384" class="fnanchor">[384]</a></p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp67" id="i_422"> + <img src="images/i_422.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>ANCIENT PUEBLOAN MOCCASINS OF FIBRE, ARIZONA + <p class="hang">Except lower left hand one worn by the Ainos of Yezo, Japan. + Introduced for comparison.

To assume that a population came over and passed down + to Mexico and Yucatan and even South America, carrying with them + their arts, but not exercising them on this interminable journey, is + ridiculous. No pottery has yet been found between the Yukon and the + Humboldt, or even farther south, probably because the Eskimo learned + what little they knew about it while in the St. Lawrence valley or the + Atlantic region, and the tribes of the North-west coast never came + into sufficiently close contact with potters to learn the art.<a id="FNanchor_387" href="#Footnote_387" class="fnanchor">[387]</a> + Furthermore, no authentic trace <span class="pagenum" id="Page_429">429</span>of any Old-World language thus far + has been found on this continent, and the only Asiatic language now + known to be allied to an American is that of a branch of the Eskimo + family which crossed from this side within the last three hundred + years. The Amerind languages change slowly. An immense period must + have elapsed since their separation from the rest of the world. It is + said that two Japanese vessels a year are wrecked on our California + coast, and some have peopled the continent from this source; a more + absurd theory than the other. The number of Japanese vessels that + were afloat a thousand years ago was as nothing compared with those + afloat to-day, and if only two per annum are wrecked on these shores + to-day, the wrecks a thousand years ago did not add materially to + the population.<a id="FNanchor_388" href="#Footnote_388" class="fnanchor">[388]</a> It is possible, however, that a few persons may + have reached either seaboard that way, and like Cabeza de Vaca, they + may have wandered for years among the various tribes as teachers and + medicine-men, giving rise to legends of “white and bearded strangers.” + But in the early days vessels were frail and did not venture far from + the coast, so that the chances of being driven to American shores + without foundering were very slight. The Northmen made the voyage, + however, and others may have done it. Yet the supposed visits of the + Irish and Danes are hardly worthy of serious consideration, although + it would be rash to deny the possibility of their having come. As for + the Lost-Tribes-of-Israel theory, on which Kingsborough was wrecked, no + archæologist of to-day would be willing to give it a second thought. A + multitude of stock languages, differing from each other, yet forming + a world-group by themselves, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_430">430</span>are found here. The people who speak + them, from Panama to the Arctic, are in their habits, customs, and + physical characteristics wonderfully homogeneous,<a id="FNanchor_389" href="#Footnote_389" class="fnanchor">[389]</a> yet they + appear to exhibit several types that have been moulded into a family + resemblance by some strange circumstance. Toward Panama, some of them + attained a considerable degree of progress, but these were not of one + special stock but of diverse stocks. Farther north there was another + group attaining to a less but a similar kind of progress, and they + also were, and are, of diverse stocks. In the Mississippi valley are + evidences of another similar culture group, probably also of diverse + stocks because some of them were allied to, or were part of, the + stocks found there when the whites came. The same general conditions + prevailed farther east, and a centre of development was rapidly + forming in New York when it was destroyed by our coming. One of the + most widespread stocks, the Shoshonean or Uto-Aztecan, is composite, + containing within it tribes of the highest culture and tribes of the + least culture, tribes that were peaceful and tribes that were warlike. + It is evident then that <em>culture was no evidence of relationship</em> + or the reverse among the Amerind people. By some powerful influence + and long association they had, whatever their origin, been moulded + into one race. “Where had they come from?” “How did they come to be + so much alike?” “Why did their highest development take place down by + the Isthmus instead of by the Great Lakes or in the fertile valley of + the Mississippi?” These are pertinent questions. Attempts have been + made to answer them by importing different people from different parts + of the world and their recent culture with them. But the more the + Amerinds are studied, the more homogeneous do we find them and the + more isolated from Old-World influences. Culture, as mentioned, was + not confined to one stock; it permeated through unrelated stocks. The + languages too are totally different from all others. Thus the more + the matter is investigated, the more closely are we confined to the + Western Hemisphere for the origin of the Amerind people, <em>as we know + them</em>. Toward Panama, that is below the City of Mexico, a kind of + civilisation was attained, and there we find was the densest population + on the continent. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_431">431</span>Culture never develops in a game country with a + sparse population, and there is, therefore, an intimate connection + between a crowded population and “culture” or “civilisation.” It may + be broadly asserted, I think, that <em>civilisation is crowding</em>; + it is man’s effort at self-preservation. Where the game-supply is + exhausted or insufficient and subsistence must be wholly or largely + wrested from the soil, there will be found the culture centres, the + hothouses of art and science, from which a filtration occurs into all + the contiguous regions and peoples. On this continent the chief centre + of culture was the narrowest part; the population was packed there + as in the narrow end of a funnel, leaving the whole broad top thinly + peopled. The question immediately arises: “Why was this so?” It is + evident at a glance that there was some preponderating, irresistible + influence which compelled the inhabitants to draw into these narrow, + restricted regions, there to act and react one tribe on another, + and this influence was constantly at work moulding them all. If the + continent had been peopled within any comparatively recent time, it is + not reasonable to suppose that the tribes would willingly have huddled + together far down in the most limited area. It is also from this area + apparently that all the arts have spread. The crowding and the culture + development were coincident. What was the cause of it? If we can arrive + at a satisfactory understanding of the cause, it seems to me that we + have the solution of the whole matter. The <span class="pagenum" id="Page_432">432</span>explanation appears to be + that the continent was peopled before the beginning of the glacial + epoch, and the crowding into the narrow regions, and consequently + the development of culture there, were due to the encroachment from + the north of the great cold. Wright says: “Just before the beginning + of the ice age, a temperate climate corresponding to latitude 35 on + the Atlantic coast extended far up toward the north pole, permitting + Greenland and Spitzbergen to be covered with trees and plants similar + in most respects to those found at the present time in Virginia and + North Carolina. Here indeed in close proximity to the north pole were + then residing, in harmony and contentment, the ancestors of nearly + all the plants and animals which are now found in the north temperate + zone.” It is not unreasonable to suppose, then, that man was also + here, though as yet the scientific evidence is perhaps not sufficient + to prove it. If he circled the globe in the Northern regions at that + time, and was also occupying Central portions, the cold drove all + south and together with changes of land levels cut off the American + division from the other world.<a id="FNanchor_390" href="#Footnote_390" class="fnanchor">[390]</a> Migration legends are useless in + determining the origin of the Amerinds, for they can only relate to + the <em>comparatively recent changes</em> of location before which, for + a long period, the people drifted up and down and across the continent + under the influences I have suggested. However man first originated, + or where, he was doubtless distributed, like the flora and fauna, at + some exceedingly remote period, over the whole world, by causes not now + understood, but one of which was probably a greater continuity of land + surfaces than exists to-day.<a id="FNanchor_391" href="#Footnote_391" class="fnanchor">[391]</a> Some of the earlier-world people were + possibly more advanced than we have been willing to concede, and there + was, from a very early day, a differentiation of tribes. Some were + making respectable weapons and tools of stone while others were using + clubs. Too much stress has been placed upon the European classification + of stone implements. It may exhibit conditions that existed in Europe, + but it has nothing to do with a standard of measurement for the world. + When Moses was leading his enlightened people, the European was a + painted savage. The <span class="pagenum" id="Page_433">433</span>period of time in which man used stone implements + is enormous; that in which he has used metal tools, comparatively + insignificant. It stands to reason, therefore, that during this long + use of stone, tribes attained to varying degrees of culture, and + varying degrees of perfection in stone tools. There never could have + been a single period of time when all tribes the world round made a + certain quality of implements, then another period when they all made + other quality of implements. Classification of tribes and races in a + time-scale, or even in a culture scale, according to the kind of stone + implements they used, is impossible. The Pai Ute and the Iroquois + made equally good tools in the seventeenth century, while in other + lands still inferior tribes were making implements about as good, and + others were struggling on with poorer ones. At the time of the Aztec + confederacy, their stone tools were not greatly superior to those of + the Pai Ute. Therefore, it would seem that any resemblance between + so-called American “paleolithic” implements and modern stone implements + cannot be used as an argument to disprove the age of the former, nor + that a polished stone implement <span class="pagenum" id="Page_434">434</span>found in a supposed ancient gravel + is necessarily an indication of intrusion or that the gravel is not + ancient. The implements thus far found in the California auriferous + gravels have been similar to those found on the surface to-day, and + this has been held by some to be a suspicious circumstance. It is not. + Some tribes in California in those remote times were probably making + stone implements quite as good as anything made to-day. Stone-working + is not capable of high development. The range is limited. Some tribes + compassed it early. Because also we do not find stone implements + abundant in the North-American glacial drift proves nothing concerning + man’s condition, presence or absence on the continent at that time. The + population <em>was almost entirely below the glacial limit</em>, only + a few inferior tribes skirting its southern fringe. We should, then, + expect to find few northerly pre-glacial evidences,<a id="FNanchor_392" href="#Footnote_392" class="fnanchor">[392]</a> as the main + culture development took place south of the ice line, and tribes above + this in pre-glacial times would be the most primitive.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp80" id="i_431"> + <img src="images/i_431.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>ESKIMO SUMMER CAMP, PORT CLARENCE</figcaption> + </figure> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp90" id="i_433"> + <img src="images/i_433.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption>WOODEN SNOW GOGGLES OF THE CENTRAL ESKIMO</figcaption> + </figure> + + <p>The material evidences concerning the antiquity of man in America + are many, but few are entirely satisfactory.

A rudely chipped arrow-head has also been found + in another region under some elephant bones. A primitive hearth was + discovered in well digging in an old beach of Lake Ontario which dates + back to the glacial time. Many specimens of stone implements have been + found throughout the land in deposits which appear to be of great age. + There is always the question of modern introduction through burials, + overturned trees, etc., but the number and varying positions seem to + indicate that some of these tools have been found in their original + places. I excavated a mound in southern Utah from the depths of which I + brought out an exceedingly primitive grinding-stone, yet not a single + stone implement of any <span class="pagenum" id="Page_435">435</span>other kind was found.

The glacial epoch is often spoken of as if the whole world were + frozen solid, whereas in North America, from the Ohio and the Columbia + to the Isthmus, the climate was doubtless about relatively the same + as it is now from Davis Strait to the Potomac and from Yakutat Bay to + northern California. The ice extended down about to the Ohio River + in the East and on lowlands not below the Columbia in the West. The + Western mountain tops must have been completely glaciated and all + elevated regions were cold, the conditions prevailing resembling those + now found in Southern Alaska. The Sierra Nevadas, receiving the warm, + moist airs from the Pacific, must have been far more heavily glaciated + than the Rockies, which received less moisture in consequence. The ice + period is estimated to have endured from ten to twenty thousand years, + with an interval of recession in it and subsequent advance. The people + were driven southward, and those most favourably situated developed + the most. The people most favourably situated were all <em>who were + <span class="pagenum" id="Page_437">437</span>already in</em>, or could fight their way to, the temperate lowlands + of southern Mexico and Central America, which were rendered somewhat + more extensive by the recession of the sea, caused by the withdrawal of + the immense quantities of water that were heaped up in ice thousands + of feet in thickness.<a id="FNanchor_395" href="#Footnote_395" class="fnanchor">[395]</a> This has been estimated to have lowered + the waters of the ocean by from 600 to 1000 feet.<a id="FNanchor_396" href="#Footnote_396" class="fnanchor">[396]</a> The lands thus + laid bare were climatically inviting and probably were soon covered + with vegetation.

Finally the recession of the ice caused renewed trouble. The + melting of it and the return thereby of the locked-up waters to the + ocean caused a submergence of lowlands that had been made habitable by + their withdrawal. There were floods and floods. Tribes were overwhelmed + or were driven to higher ground. There was a renewed shifting of + populations over the whole continent. Those which had been held back + toward the highlands and toward the ice, accustomed to the cool airs + and to a particular food, readily followed the retrogression of the + ice, impelled always by pressure of the tribes farther south. They + were inured to cold. The most southerly tribes became inured somewhat + to heat, and clung to their lands, impelled also to do this by the + pressure of wilder tribes recoiling from contact with still other + tribes. But heat being debilitating, and especially so to the Amerind + constitution, the Yucatec peoples, who were those who had attained the + highest development, gradually degenerated under its influence, and + before the voyage of Columbus whole cities were depopulated. Some held + their own for a longer period, but were already on the way to decline + when the Spaniards appeared. In some cases their towns were occupied + by an inferior tribe of perhaps the same stock, or an inferior tribe + dwelt around <span class="pagenum" id="Page_440">440</span>them and, not knowing the origin of the architectural + works, attempted to account for them by fairy tales like the legend of + the <cite>Dwarf’s House</cite>, which Stephens learned. The people nearest + the ice front are still represented by the Eskimo, and their next + neighbours, as of yore, are the Athapascans, and Algonquins, and so + on down in zones more or less distinct, but considerably deranged + by subsequent migrations, to the builders of the Yucatec ruins. + The Apaches and Navajos are usually said to have <em>come down</em> + from their kin in the North, but it is equally possible that they + <em>remained <span class="pagenum" id="Page_441">441</span>behind</em> in the high mountains while their kin pushed + on.<a id="FNanchor_398" href="#Footnote_398" class="fnanchor">[398]</a> The table-lands of Mexico, being high and temperate, formed + a final refuge for many tribes, some of whom had profited by contact + with the centre of development, and these roamed the plateau, one + branch finally settling around the lake of Mexico, and there planting + again the seeds of the lowland culture. Many tribes were early crowded + into the California coast region, because the lowland climate there + remained comparatively mild, and the supply of fish, seals, etc. was + so great that they were not compelled to till the soil for subsistence + (if indeed they were possessed of sufficient knowledge, or if the land + were in condition to produce), as was the case farther south, where the + population was denser and natural supplies insufficient. But the region + was so inhospitable that only fragments of these tribes survived.

Balzac says: “Historians + are privileged liars, who lend their pen to popular beliefs.” Certainly + the character of the Amerind and his doings have not often been too + charitably drawn, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_444">444</span>while, on the other hand, our actions toward him, + even as related by ourselves, are enough to make one sometimes doubt + the benefits of civilisation. Morgan, speaking of the remnant of the + Senecas, says: “To embitter their sense of desolation as a nation, the + pre-emptive right to these last remnants of their ancient possessions + is now held by a company of land speculators, the Ogden Land Company, + who, to wrest away these few acres, have pursued and hunted them + for the last fourteen years with a degree of wickedness hardly to + be paralleled in the history of human avarice.

In this incident began + the Dutch and Indian War, which lasted two years. Can anyone condemn + them for going to war after such treatment?</p> + + <p>Acts of white brutality of this character could be quoted to fill a + volume, but these are sufficient to indicate the manner of the European + approach, except in the case of Penn. The more docile the Amerinds + were, the more abuse they got. If they became self-supporting like the + Navajos, the government gave them nothing; if they were murderous and + deadly, like the Apaches, the government took care of them and fed + them. Issuing rations is a proper thing, when we have destroyed the + native means of subsistence, but the tribe that works and helps itself + ought to be aided further toward civilisation in other ways. One of + the most stubborn of the numerous Amerind wars was the Seminole in the + Everglades of Florida. Our whole available force was engaged in this + war, besides some fifty thousand militia and volunteers. Though there + were probably not more than four hundred warriors, the cost of the + war was over $30,000,000, and three thousand lives were sacrificed. + The wars with the Apaches were long and difficult. The Modocs also + carried on a disastrous war, and recently the Sioux took their turn. + These wars could generally have been averted by proper diplomacy. The + battle of Wounded Knee was precipitated by a wild and unauthorised + shot at a critical moment by one of our soldiers. Had he remained + inactive the battle would probably never have occurred. Many tribes + were exterminated at an early period. Most of the Carolina tribes were + destroyed between 1714 and 1740. To-day very few Amerinds exist in the + United States east of the Mississippi. Those who were not destroyed, or + who are not still living on lands reserved for them, are mostly west + of the Mississippi, either on lands belonging to them in the Indian + Territory, or on scattered reservations. Tribes in Indian Territory + have long conducted a sort of civilised government, but some of them + are now on the eve of selling their lands and purchasing broader tracts + with the funds obtained, in Mexico. The Navajos are in possession of + an enormous area lying across the line of Arizona and New Mexico, + and their vast herds of sheep, cattle, and horses require extensive + grazing, so that it will be impossible to reduce the area allotted + to them, especially as the tribe is steadily increasing in numbers. + Schools of mechanic arts should <span class="pagenum" id="Page_447">447</span>speedily be established among them, + in order that when they eventually are obliged to look to other avenues + of support than stock-raising, they can do work that will command a + price. It makes not the slightest difference whether or not they are + able to read English, if they have wares to sell that white people + need and want, and the Navajo is capable of great development on the + mechanical side. They will learn English when necessity requires it. + The Mokis have a reservation adjoining the Navajos, and it is ample for + them for all time, as they are not increasing, and their herds of sheep + are small.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_446"> + <img src="images/i_446.jpg" alt=""> + <div class="attr">Permission of E.

But being fired by as noble patriotism as ever + burned in the hearts of mortals, we tried to beat back the reckless + white man who dared to settle within our borders—and vast armies were + sent out to punish us.

The + result, the final result, was inevitable. The Amerind was doomed when + Columbus first saw the Western land, and nothing that the Amerind + could have done would have greatly changed the final course of events. + Tecumseh made an heroic effort to unite his people in a stubborn stand + against the enemy, but the difficulty was that there were not enough + Tecumsehs. The powerful league of the Iroquois, that once promised to + dominate the whole continent, began its decline with the very first + intercourse with the Europeans, so that in 1750 they were about half + their former number. The league was probably formed about the middle + of the sixteenth century, and in these two hundred years they reached + their highest power and were on the wane. As it must have taken them + some time to reach the point where they could form such a body as the + league, they must have been a powerful and progressive people at least + a hundred years before, so that their main existence as a progressive + people probably covered a period of some three hundred years if not + more.

These were men from various tribes who had committed + crimes and escaped the punishment they should have received according + to the law of their people, and coming together they sometimes formed a + band by themselves in some strong and isolated position. A good example + of such a band of renegades was that of one Patnish in south-eastern + Utah near the Navajo mountain.

The + Mormons of southern Utah looked upon Patnish as a dangerous man, yet + he sometimes came to their frontier villages in a peaceful way.

There + never was any inquiry to find out if he committed the crime; he was + generally shot on sight. Innocence was a quality never thought of in + dealing with “Indians.” By reason of their birth, they were all guilty + of any crime perpetrated.</p> + + <p>But I have already exceeded the limits prescribed for this book. In + concluding, I would say that it seems from all the evidence available + that this continent was peopled at a period so remote that other races + had not yet developed their present characteristics. This was probably + before the glacial epoch began, while the Northern climate was mild, + and while land surfaces were distributed more on latitudinal lines, + separated by narrower waters. Afterwards there was a rearrangement by + the forces of nature, which, together with the extreme cold of the + North, effectually separated the Amerinds from other peoples, and + caused them to mingle and react on each other till even the affinities + which had before developed in different localities and had produced + some differentiation of types were almost rubbed out and remain to-day + only as tinges of the earlier qualities. The other world tribes, + subjected to other influences, have developed other differences and + have diverged from their original stocks. It is also probable that + in the redistribution of land surfaces and rearrangement of land + levels, many stocks, some highly developed, were obliterated. Slight + modifications may have occurred through later accidental intrusions + from the Eastern Hemisphere, but if there had been any considerable + intercourse within a recent period <span class="pagenum" id="Page_458">458</span>between outside peoples and the + Amerinds we should have found distinct traces of it in the writings + of early days. People as different and extraordinary as the Amerinds + were would have produced a vivid impression on any who might have + seen them and contrariwise a European, for example, would have left + a lasting impression. On the extreme North-west coast there seems to + be a type resemblance to Asiatics, but this is more likely due to an + extremely early colouring which was preserved by special isolation on + this continent, rather than to any considerable infusion of Asiatic + blood in recent time. As before remarked, I am of the opinion that + the Alaska and North-west coast tribes reached those regions from the + South and South-east in comparatively late times.<a id="FNanchor_406" href="#Footnote_406" class="fnanchor">[406]</a> Taking a broad + view of the question, it seems to be an inevitable conclusion that the + Amerind race, or rather <em>the various races of which it was originally + composed</em>, were early cut off on this hemisphere from intercourse + with the remainder of the world, and held in isolation by a change + in land distribution and by the continued glaciation of the northern + portions of the continent which in a measure endures to this day. + The climate of North-eastern Siberia was also glacial and prevented + migrations from milder regions. Many eminent archæologists agree + that the Amerind was here before the great cold moved down, although + the evidence of implements and remains as we now understand them is, + perhaps, insufficient. Languages, traits, customs, and arts are also + to be considered, and they seem all to favour, as outlined above, + the theory of an exceedingly remote peopling of this continent from + various directions. But this slight attempt to outline vast movements + must be brought to a close. To sum briefly up, then, it seems that the + Amerindian race, while originally composed of different elements, was, + as a body, separated from the other peoples of the world, at a remote + epoch, and by peculiar climatic and geographic influences, welded into + an ethnic unity, which was unimpressed by outside influences till + modern times.</p> + + <figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_457"> + <img src="images/i_457.jpg" alt=""> + <div class="attr">Photographed by M.

The + author has added the term “<span class="smcap">Hopitan</span>” as a sub-stock of the + <span class="smcap">Shoshonean</span> to designate the group of Hopi tribes, which, + while showing strong linguistic affinity, are otherwise, like the + <span class="smcap">Piman</span> and <span class="smcap">Nahuatlan</span>, so markedly separated in + habits from the true <span class="smcap">Shoshonean</span> stock that an individual + classification for them seems desirable. As the <span class="smcap">Hopitan</span> + are ranked as <span class="smcap">Shoshonean</span> in the general scheme the harmony + of the classification is not interfered with. <span class="smcap">Puebloan</span> is + also given as a comprehensive descriptive term for all the permanent + house-building tribes, regardless of linguistic affinities, or ancient + or modern existence. This is necessary because it is not possible to + assign a linguistic place to the former occupants of ruins like those + of the Chaco, yet it is settled that they were of a kind with the other + town builders. Thus, also, the Cliff-dwellers may be conveniently + classed under this head. Tusayan and Cibola, as applied respectively to + the <span class="smcap">Hopitan</span> and the <span class="smcap">Zuñian</span>, should never be used, for + the reason that it is not certain that these are the places that were + so designated by Coronado in 1540. The author believes they were not + seen by Coronado.<a id="FNanchor_409" href="#Footnote_409" class="fnanchor">[409]</a> It is in the interest of accuracy to avoid these + unnecessary designations, which confuse ethnological and geographical + matters.</p> + + <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_462">462</span></p> + + <ul class="hang"> + <li><i>Ada.</i> <span class="smcap">Adaizan.</span> Western Louisiana.</li> + + <li><i>Alq.</i> <span class="smcap">Algonquian.</span> North-east third of the continent, from Tennessee and Montana.</li> + + <li><i>Ath.</i> <span class="smcap">Athapascan.</span> North-west part of the continent, and from the Utah-Colorado line southward + into Mexico.

Yet it was the expedition + to make the first maps of the course of the river and of some of + the contiguous country. In the <i>Romance of the Colorado</i>, Mr. + Dellenbaugh gave a brief description of this expedition in order to + make his history of the remarkable river complete, but now feeling + the desirability of a fuller record in the interest of Western United + States history, he tells, in <i>A Canyon Voyage</i>, the whole + experience.</p> + <hr class="full2"> + + <div class="center mt10 gesperrt bold ws2" style="font-size: 250%;"><i>The</i> Romance <i>of the</i><br> + Colorado River : : :</div> + + <hr class="full"> + <p class="noindent large"><i>A Complete Account of the Discovery and of the Explorations from + 1540 to the Present Time, with Particular Reference to the two Voyages + of Powell through the Line of the Great Canyons</i></p> + + <hr class="full"> + <p class="center"><span class="xlarge">By <span class="smcap">Frederick S.
