+ <h2>PREFACE</h2>
+ </div>
+
+ <p class="drop-cap">THE basis of this volume is eight lectures given before the Lowell
+ Institute in Boston in 1894. 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. If
+ this book helps to arouse a deeper public interest in the gathering of
+ this material, and in the general study of the subject, I shall feel it
+ needs no apology.</p>

+ </div>
+
+ <p class="drop-cap">WHEN those rapacious enthusiasts, the Spaniards of the sixteenth
+ century, had unfolded some of the mysteries of the great half-world
+ that the resolution and daring of Columbus had opened to them, they
+ found it everywhere already peopled, though often sparsely, by a race
+ strange to the other half, with totally different ideas and customs,
+ existing in various degrees of sylvan felicity, or in the budding
+ promise of a civilisation. 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>

+
+ <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>

+
+ <p>Nearer to us than this we have an incident even more diabolical,
+ because without the provocation the trappers had. 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>

+
+ <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>

+ <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>

+
+ <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>

+
+ <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>

+
+ <p class="drop-cap">THERE were many tribes and many tribe-groups, or, as the latter are
+ usually designated, “stocks,” among the Amerinds. 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>

+ </figure>
+
+ <p>Even where a group of Amerinds speak related languages, or dialects,
+ there are, and were, such wide variations that the one is not
+ understood by those speaking the other. 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.&nbsp;S. Bureau of Ethnology in Washington have produced
+ a map, based on Gallatin’s.<a id="FNanchor_19" href="#Footnote_19" class="fnanchor">[19]</a> The separate stocks north of Mexico
+ are each represented by a different colour, every colour standing for
+ a variation in language as great as that between Hebrew and English,
+ not related as English and Spanish. 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>

+
+ <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>

+
+ <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>
+

+ <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>

+
+ <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>

+ <p>In recording these Amerind languages and their peculiar sounds, no
+ definite system was employed till recently. Travellers wrote the
+ Amerind words down with ordinary letters as they understood them, thus
+ producing great diversity in method and results. Differences are due
+ sometimes to a lack of perception on <span class="pagenum" id="Page_36">36</span>the part of the recorder, and
+ also sometimes to a difference in pronunciation on the part of the
+ Amerinds themselves, and again to differences of methods of recording.
+ To catch the exact sounds of a new language requires a musical ear.
+ I do not mean a knowledge of music, but an ear that follows a tune
+ easily. Without such an ear a person is not fit to record language
+ sounds that are novel no matter how good a linguist he may be.
+ Investigators ought to have their ears tested for sound-perception as

+
+ <p>Recognising the importance of a system in the recording of the Amerind
+ languages—the importance of systematising the orthography of these
+ languages—the U.&nbsp;S. Bureau of Ethnology published an <cite>Introduction to
+ the Study of Indian Languages</cite>, in which an alphabet was advocated
+ that was adapted to recording harmoniously the Amerind languages.
+ In this over sixty separate sounds are given by signs following as
+ closely as possible our own alphabet. 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. Like most of the Amerinds, they prefer to invent their own
+ terms for articles that are new to them. The Aleutian Islanders are of
+ Eskimo stock, but their language is different from the main body of the
+ family, and would not be understood by them.</p>
+
+ <p>The writings of the Cherokees in the syllabary of Sequoyah <span class="pagenum" id="Page_37">37</span>are
+ of sacred formulas. These were written out by the shamans and are
+ thoroughly Amerind. “They are not disjointed fragments,” says Mooney,
+ who made a careful study of the subject, “of a system long since
+ extinct, but are the revelation of a living faith which still has its
+ priests and devoted adherents.” The language used is full of archaic
+ forms and figurative expressions, some of which even the shamans
+ cannot now understand. Some of these are highly poetical, especially
+ the prayers “used to win the love of a woman or to destroy the life of
+ an enemy, in which we find such expressions as: ‘Now your soul fades
+ away—your spirit shall grow less and dwindle away never to reappear.’
+ ‘Let her be completely veiled in loneliness,—O Black Spider, may
+ you hold her soul in your web, so that it may never get through the
+ meshes!’ ‘Your soul has come into the very centre of my soul, never to
+ turn away.’”<a id="FNanchor_35" href="#Footnote_35" class="fnanchor">[35]</a></p>

+
+ <p>In nearly all the Amerind languages there was a poetical touch. But
+ what seems to be poetry to us arose partly from the inability of
+ the Amerind to express himself in a spiritual way. As his <span class="pagenum" id="Page_38">38</span>religion
+ was chiefly zoötheistic, and the heavenly bodies and natural forces
+ were personified as animals, his comparisons and references were not

+ <p class="drop-cap">OUR pre-columbian knowledge of the Amerind people is at present meagre.
+ The majority of the different stocks had not arrived at the point where
+ they understood how to record their thoughts and their doings. Outside
+ of the Maya and Nahuatl stocks, and others in that region, there is
+ nothing but rude picture-writing to refer to besides an abundance of
+ traditions, legends, and other oral matter. All the Amerind languages
+ are capable of being readily written, being possessed of grammars
+ and of copious vocabularies, but none of the tribes north of Mexico
+ had made the discovery that marks can represent sounds. We trace our
+ alphabet back to the Romans, still farther to the Greeks, and yet
+ farther back to the Phœnicians, and then another stage back to even
+ ruder characters connecting the chain of its development with the end
+ links of such writing as that of the Mayas, and exhibiting writing in
+ all stages, from rock scratching or picture-writing, through all phases
+ down to the work of the writing and printing machines of to-day.</p>
+
+ <p>Mankind are all alike, merely exhibiting different degrees of culture.
+ As the rills in the mountains born of the rains and the snows are
+ all the same and reach the ocean by various devious and <span class="pagenum" id="Page_40">40</span>complicated
+ courses, so the races of men, emerging from the darkness of the past,
+ follow, because of the immutability of natural law, practically the
+ same lines of development through savagery, barbarism, civilisation,
+ toward a common goal of unification and enlightenment. The progress
+ of humanity from earliest times to now appears to be divided, in each
+ race evolution, into several epochs by certain great inventions or
+ discoveries which seemed to spread themselves over the world either
+ from one centre or from several. Of these the most important are,
+ first, fire; second, the bow; third, smelting; fourth, phonetic
+ writing; and fifth, printing. This progression is not even, but a
+ people may stand still for a long time and then suddenly become
+ active in one particular line, or in many lines.<a id="FNanchor_37" href="#Footnote_37" class="fnanchor">[37]</a> Ours is the age
+ of mechanical development; the Greeks made a stride in art. When
+ development reaches a certain point and conditions are favourable for
+ an invention, it springs into being not in one individual alone but
+ usually in several widely separated ones, as if the seed of it had
+ <span class="pagenum" id="Page_41">41</span>been sprinkled over the earth. It may have germinated before when
+ conditions were not ripe, but it then died before even sprouting.
+ Environment cultivates the mind, and the mind feeds on environment.
+ Only a small portion of those to whom an idea occurs endeavour to carry
+ it out, and often other subsequent inventions are necessary to success.</p>

+
+ <p>On the Amerind continent before the advent of the European the various
+ stocks and tribes were rising and falling under the influence of the
+ moulding conditions, and rising again or giving place to more highly
+ vitalised stock which might succeed in fertilising in the brain of a
+ Hiawatha or a Quetzalcohuatl great ideas that should lift them onward.</p>
+
+ <p>In the matter of writing, these races were moving toward success, and
+ had their isolation been maintained they would in time have come to
+ the full measure. 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. Those who have
+ witnessed Pueblo ceremonials will understand how unlike any human being
+ the wearer of the strange costumes can become. The <i>katcina</i><a id="FNanchor_46" href="#Footnote_46" class="fnanchor">[46]</a>
+ is fearfully and wonderfully made, and, especially if represented with
+ the half-skill <span class="pagenum" id="Page_48">48</span>of the Amerind, would baffle classification by anyone
+ not familiar with the actual object. Among the early tribes there
+ were undoubtedly many of these ceremonial dresses and costumes that
+ we can now have no conception of, and where we see them represented
+ in sculpture or drawing they have a most uncanny and diabolical
+ appearance. Even to-day were we to see a representation in their crude
+ way of a simple little Moki girl, with the singular arrangement of her
+ hair in flat, circular puffs, like huge wheels, one on each side of the
+ head, and had never seen or heard of this fashion of hair-dressing, we
+ should be puzzled as to what it meant.</p>

+
+ <p>Some of the ordinary rock pictures may have been carved for simple
+ amusement, but the majority were made with a purpose, and this was

+ may be divided into two and perhaps three general classes: first, the

+ and partly phonetic, the term <i>ikonomatic</i>,<a id="FNanchor_47" href="#Footnote_47" class="fnanchor">[47]</a> and used it in his
+ own works. The ideographic class are those which represent an idea, as
+ a man striking another, like the accompanying illustration from the
+ autobiography of Running Antelope, who thus records his killing of two
+ Arikarees. The mnemonic class do not represent an idea, but simply are
+ memory helps, like a string tied around one’s finger, a good example
+ being any numeral, say the figure “9.” The phonetic class represent
+ sounds, like the letters of our alphabet, say the letter “e.” It <span class="pagenum" id="Page_49">49</span>is
+ believed that the Maya writings were largely phonetic, but the phonetic
+ quality is not well established.</p>

+ <img src="images/i_049.jpg" alt="">
+ <figcaption>PETROGLYPHS ON PAINT ROCK, NORTH CAROLINA</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>It is supposed that the mnemonic symbols originated in sign-language.
+ One of the most striking examples of the universality of the
+ sign-language is the case, cited by Mallery, of a professor in a
+ deaf-mute college, who, visiting several wild tribes, was able to
+ communicate freely with them though he knew nothing of their spoken
+ languages. 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. Recently a most ingenious counterfeiter of stone implements
+ was discovered in Dane County, Wis. He had been selling the spurious
+ implements for years. They are usually of bizarre patterns.<a id="FNanchor_49" href="#Footnote_49" class="fnanchor">[49]</a>
+ Bandelier says that “it is certain that some of <span class="pagenum" id="Page_50">50</span>them [pictographs in
+ Mexico] were manufactured after the Conquest, not with the intention
+ of fraud, but with a view to a compromise between the new method
+ of recording and the old one, which the new teachers were loath to
+ comprehend and which they refused to adopt.” Powell classifies all
+ the picture-writings as: (1) Mnemonic—songs, traditions, treaties,
+ war, and time; (2) Notification—departure, direction, condition,
+ warning, guidance, geographic features, claim or demand messages, and
+ communications and record of expeditions; (3) Totemic—tribal, gentile,
+ clan, and personal designations, insignia, tokens of authority,
+ personal names, property marks, status of individuals, signs of
+ particular achievements; (4) Religious—mythic personages, shamanism,
+ dances, ceremonies, mortuary practices, grave-posts, charms, fetiches;
+ (5) Customs, habits; (6) Tribal history; (7) Biographic.</p>

+ <figcaption>LANDA’S MAYA ALPHABET AFTER BRASSEUR</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>On this continent no true alphabet, so far as now known, was produced,
+ unless we accept that recorded by Bishop Landa, and ascribed to the
+ Mayas. Landa was the second bishop of Yucatan, and he did his best to
+ destroy the Maya records and everything else that in his estimation
+ linked them with the devil. But he did construct an alphabet after
+ theirs, for the purpose, no doubt, of putting before them the Holy
+ Gospel, and it is this alphabet that has been preserved. It has been
+ the basis of many vain attempts to decipher the few ancient Maya
+ documents that are known, and the failure of these attempts has caused
+ some investigators to consider the alphabet a pure fabrication, but the
+ identity <span class="pagenum" id="Page_51">51</span>of the characters with many of those in the ancient writing
+ completely disproves this charge. Besides the alphabet, Landa left
+ some other information concerning the Mayas, and Goodman thus presents
+ his respects to his memory<a id="FNanchor_50" href="#Footnote_50" class="fnanchor">[50]</a>: “It is a signal instance of the irony
+ of fate that this bigoted destroyer of the fruits of Maya science and
+ art—the pietist whose zeal rendered him avid of the obliteration of
+ every vestige of their impious learning—should have been the only one
+ to leave a clue by which the mysterious codices and inscriptions will
+ yet be deciphered. Nevertheless he <span class="pagenum" id="Page_52">52</span>left such a clue—slight and vague,
+ it is true; but, when carefully followed up, it broadens and leads into
+ an open way where everything will presently become self-evident.” The
+ alphabet was probably modified by a desire to make it conform to the
+ Spanish, and it is this foreign element possibly that has led to the
+ unfavourable opinion expressed in some quarters concerning it.</p>

+ <figcaption>SEQUOYAH’S CHEROKEE SYLLABARY</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>North of the Mexican country certain alphabets were invented by the
+ European priests for the purpose of furthering the introduction
+ <span class="pagenum" id="Page_53">53</span>of Christianity among the Amerinds. Of these the Micmac is a good
+ example.<a id="FNanchor_51" href="#Footnote_51" class="fnanchor">[51]</a> They were not drawn from pictographs, and were used only
+ for teaching the Bible. In that field they did not serve to preserve
+ Amerind history, traditions, and legends. After long contact with
+ Europeans there was invented but one alphabet, and he who accomplished
+ this was a half-breed. 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. By means
+ of this syllabary the members of the Cherokee tribe were able to learn
+ in a few hours to write words, and the system is used to this day.</p>
+
+ <p>The endeavour to prove the descent of the Amerinds from one of the
+ numerous foreign sources that have from time to time been advocated
+ has at least resulted sometimes in the accumulation or reproduction
+ of some interesting material. Lord Kingsborough became so infatuated
+ with the idea that the Amerinds were the Lost Tribes of Israel that
+ he attempted to prove it in a number of splendid volumes, which also
+ contain admirable fac-similes of some old Amerind manuscripts.<a id="FNanchor_52" href="#Footnote_52" class="fnanchor">[52]</a> He
+ spent his fortune on this work, and through a business dispute with
+ the merchants who furnished the paper he was thrown into Dublin Jail,
+ where, unfortunately, he died.</p>
+
+ <p>To explain the methods employed in the ruder attempts at recording,
+ the map made by Lean Wolf, a Hidatsa, who once made a trip from Fort
+ Berthold to Fort Buford, Dakota, with the ambition of stealing a horse,
+ is a good example. In the illustration the returning horse-tracks
+ indicate that he was successful and rode<span class="pagenum" id="Page_54">54</span> home. 1 is Lean Wolf himself;

+ <p>Frequently the marks on the rocks merely record the visit of someone
+ to the place, exactly as when we visit the birthplace of Shakespeare
+ we write our names in a large book kept there for that purpose; or,
+ perhaps, as some persons carve their names on public buildings and in
+ other conspicuous places. Gilbert found a number of such records at
+ Oakley Springs, Arizona, and old Tuba, a Moki, explained them to him.
+ Tuba said that the Mokis go to a place in the canyon of the Little
+ Colorado for salt, and they stop on the return trip at this spring,
+ where each draws his totem mark, or crest, on the record rocks once,
+ and once only, for each trip. There are many repetitions of the same
+ sign, showing that the owner of that particular sign, or totem, had
+ made that many journeys to the salt mine. Tuba gave the name of the
+ totems, and they were all animals.</p>

+ <figcaption>STRINGS OF WAMPUM</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>Another class of symbols was worked out in wampum. The popular idea
+ of wampum seems to be that it was a kind of Amerind money, but the
+ money function was only one of its uses. 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. When the white men discovered the valuation the
+ Amerinds placed on these beads an attempt was made to introduce some
+ of European manufacture, but it met with only partial success.<a id="FNanchor_53" href="#Footnote_53" class="fnanchor">[53]</a> The
+ average width of a belt is three inches and the length three feet.</p>

+ often decorated to a greater or less extent by means of pigments or
+ by tattooing, and even to-day the practice lingers among civilised
+ races, in their sailors and soldiers especially. The primitive totem or
+ tattoo marks are frequently highly elaborate, but the work is not all
+ accomplished at one time. Years sometimes<span class="pagenum" id="Page_58">58</span> pass before the drawings
+ are complete. The Haidas of the North-west coast are specially given
+ to this form of decoration, and their bodies bear carefully prepared
+ symbols. They are heraldic signs, or the family totem, of the clan to
+ which the person belongs.</p>

+
+ <p>Pottery was also a medium, and some of the designs contained upon
+ earthenware unfold a whole legend to the knowing eye of the native. The
+ designs that are woven into blankets, baskets, and scarfs of Amerind
+ manufacture are also, to a certain extent, symbolic. The Navajos, who
+ weave a superior kind of blanket, put into it a variety of designs,
+ that are carried entirely in their memory. It is asserted that the

+ many of the Pueblos, who must have been in the country they now occupy
+ when they arrived. There is some intermarriage of Navajos and Mokis in
+ these latter days.<a id="FNanchor_54" href="#Footnote_54" class="fnanchor">[54]</a></p>

+
+ <p>Excellent examples of Algonquin mnemonic records are found in the songs
+ of the Midē society, which have been preserved for many generations
+ by means of their picture-writing, and <span class="pagenum" id="Page_59">59</span>some of the records are
+ exceedingly elaborate. The method is to associate certain devices with
+ songs or with parts of songs to recall the words to the memory of the
+ singer when he beholds the pictures, and in this way they have been
+ handed along through the centuries. There is reason to believe that
+ almost all important legends are recorded in this mnemonic way among
+ the tribes of North America. Of course the memory is likely to fail in
+ some details and so the songs become more or less changed as time goes
+ on, but it is not probable that the changes are of much importance, for
+ where the memory is trained in this way it grows remarkably accurate.
+ There was much practising of the various songs at each particular
+ season, under the guidance of some veteran singer.</p>
+
+ <p>The Eskimo, in their picture-writing, seem now to be rather a class
+ by themselves. Whether the suggestion of perspective found in some
+ pictures was a result of contact with the whites I am unable to state,
+ but it seems probable. In the above illustration the suggestion of
+ perspective is clear. There is a landscape with houses, with the moon

+ the line drawn from his mouth to the object mentioned. The left-hand
+ figure, having secured the buffalo by the horns, gives his nearest

+ announces that he will do, as the line from his mouth to the head of
+ the animal indicates. The Indian in the upper left-hand corner is told
+ by a squaw to take an arrow and join his companions, when he turns his

+ So far as known this system is not recorded in any way, but depends

+ in the course of time. The sand is trailed out of the hand between the
+ thumb and forefinger, and when a mistake is made it is corrected by
+ renewing at that point the surface of the sand which forms the general
+ ground for the work. No less than seventeen ceremonies are illustrated
+ by drawings of this kind. Sand enters into some of the kiva ceremonies

+
+ <p>The mounds of the Mississippi valley have yielded antiquities of great
+ interest, but thus far nothing that is beyond the ability of the
+ ordinary Amerind to execute. Some shell discs, which Holmes suggests
+ may have been time symbols, attract special attention. There are
+ generally thirteen small outer circles on the discs, and thirteen is
+ a number that occurs frequently in Amerind chronology. On other discs
+ various objects are drawn, the one first to fix the attention of the
+ white race being the figure of the cross because of its connection
+ with the Christian religion. But it had no similar significance with
+ the Christian cross. Crosses were found among almost all the tribes of
+ North America, because a cross is an easy and a most natural figure to
+ construct. Another emblem found throughout the world, and next to the
+ cross the simplest figure to make, is that called the swastika, merely
+ a cross <span class="xlarge" style="vertical-align: middle;">卐</span> with the arms broken at right angles. The
+ Mormons firmly believe, along with Kingsborough, that the Amerinds are
+ the Lost Tribes of Israel, and one of their elders has succeeded in
+ translating some picture-writing thus: “<em>I, Mahanti, the 2nd king of
+ the Lamanites in five valleys in the mountains, make this record in
+ the twelve hundredth year since we came out of Jerusalem. And I have
+ three sons gone to the south country to live by hunting antelope and
+ deer.</em>” Like the power to divine the future, the power to translate
+ picture-writings is rare.</p>
+
+ <p>In some of the Moundbuilder work there is a suggestion of a position
+ for the makers intermediate between, say, the Algonquin and the Nahuatl
+ or Aztec tribes. Their serpent symbols strongly resemble those of more
+ southern tribes, and also some of the figures in shell and copper.</p>
+
+ <p>The fact that the serpent was a prominent object with them as with
+ the Nahuatl tribes tends to link the tribes who made these symbols
+ with the Nahuatl tribes. The serpent symbol, especially the feathered
+ kind,<a id="FNanchor_58" href="#Footnote_58" class="fnanchor">[58]</a> belongs mainly to the tribes of the Mexican region, where the
+ rattlesnake exists in its greatest variety. The <span class="pagenum" id="Page_64">64</span>rattlesnake was highly
+ venerated, and tribes as far north as the Moki country in the West,
+ and perhaps as the Ohio in the East, might be correctly called the
+ Snake people. There is nothing improbable in supposing that some of the
+ tribes of the Mississippi valley, if they were not of the same stock as
+ the Aztecs, were in tolerably close communication with them, or with
+ tribes intermediate between the two.</p>

+ <figcaption>CUP MARKINGS</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>Another kind of rock markings, the so-called cupped-stones or cup
+ markings, about which there has been a vast amount of discussion, may
+ be considered here because they have generally been thought to have
+ symbolic significance. 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>

+
+ <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>

+ <p>When Mendoza was viceroy of New Spain, he caused a specimen of Aztec
+ writing and book-making to be prepared and sent to Charles V., with
+ an explanation in Spanish. Copies of this exist to-day; one in the
+ Bodleian Library, Oxford, and another, which Prescott thought was the

+
+ <p>Many of the manuscripts were merely chronological, but there were also
+ tribute rolls, law codes, court records, historical records, and all
+ the varied writings that belong to an active and intelligent people.
+ The priests executed and held in their possession the important books,
+ and seem to have been the leaders of whatever learning existed. “These
+ writings,” says Bancroft, “were a sealed book to the masses, and even
+ to the educated classes who looked with superstitious reverence on the
+ priestly writers and their magic scrolls.”</p>
+
+ <p>The paper used was usually made from the leaves of the maguey. It is
+ probable that the Aztecs learned to make it from the Mayas or from
+ some intervening tribe who had learned from the Mayas. Sometimes the
+ books were long strips of cotton cloth, or even a kind of parchment.
+ They were either rolled up or folded like a screen, and frequently had
+ covers of wood. A great deal of ingenuity and skill were bestowed on
+ the preparation of these books and the writing they contained.</p>
+
+ <p>The appropriate name of “calculiform”<a id="FNanchor_64" href="#Footnote_64" class="fnanchor">[64]</a> has been given to the Maya
+ hieroglyphics because of their resemblance to pebble forms. Besides
+ the inscriptions carved on stone from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to
+ the northern border of Honduras, there are some on wood and in stucco,
+ but there exist, so far as known, but very few of the numerous records
+ and books of perishable material which the pious zeal of the Spanish
+ priests hastened to gather together and purify of heresy and wickedness
+ in the fires of bigotry. 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. At any
+ rate, unless some of the books have been protected in an absolutely
+ dry place, tomb or what not, or there were also writings on tablets of
+ clay or stone, we are not likely to have our present scanty knowledge
+ of the ancient Mayas much increased through this channel. There are
+ possibilities of discovery in many ways, even amongst the papers in
+ forgotten archives.</p>

+ <p>In the Peabody Museum at Cambridge I saw a small vase from Labna

+ Afterwards I found a reference apparently to this same vase in
+ Brinton’s <cite>Primer of Mayan Hieroglyphics</cite>. He says: “There is some
+ reason to suppose, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_75">75</span>however, that in this part of the Mayan territory
+ there had been a development of this writing until it had become
+ conventionalized into a series of lines and small circles enclosed in
+ the usual square or oval of the katun. I have seen several examples of
+ this remarkable script, and give one, Fig. 79, part of an inscription

+
+ <p>We are but at the beginning of our investigation of the Amerind field.
+ Only recently Saville discovered an entirely new form of hieroglyphic
+ in Oaxaca in a tomb believed to be Zapotecan. 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. The
+ monumental records and the chronological books may have been written
+ by the priests in the archaic style while the ordinary and common
+ style was something quite different.<a id="FNanchor_65" href="#Footnote_65" class="fnanchor">[65]</a> Pio Perez has been followed
+ with great faith, but Goodman thrusts him aside in the following
+ paragraph: “The man who led everybody astray ... was Don Pio Perez....
+ In the absence of any regularly ordained authority, he was at once
+ accepted on his own bare assumption as a leader and lawgiver, and then
+ began that journey through the wilderness which has lasted more than
+ forty years.... I ran in the ruck for seven seasons.... Then I turned
+ and went back to Landa—to whom all desirous of reliable information
+ concerning Maya chronology must go at last.”<a id="FNanchor_66" href="#Footnote_66" class="fnanchor">[66]</a> The trouble with
+ following Landa has been the inaccuracy of the translation by the Abbé
+ Brasseur as well as a certain confusion existing within the original
+ manuscript.<a id="FNanchor_67" href="#Footnote_67" class="fnanchor">[67]</a></p>
+
+ <p>Brinton says: “The Mayas were naturally a literary people. 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>

+
+ <p>The Maya glyphs probably developed out of something like the Mexican
+ or Aztec writing; and the step was not a very long one from writing of
+ the character of the Lenapé <i>Walam Olum</i> to that of the Aztec, and
+ again it was not a long step from the ordinary picture-writing to the
+ <i>Walam Olum</i>, so that it would seem that in these various writings
+ we have an interesting series of steps from the crudest attempts at
+ records, nearly, if not quite, to the highest, for it must be borne in
+ mind that the step from the Maya glyphs to a true phonetic alphabet
+ would be even shorter than any of the others. It is not impossible
+ that something of the kind may yet be discovered. While the Mayas
+ had made little progress in mechanical inventions, their progress in
+ architecture, art, writing, and in astronomy is a proof that they were
+ a thinking people, and, had conditions continued favourable to their
+ progress, the Spaniards would have found them not easy to vanquish.
+ The prominent and striking quality of the calculiform style has had a
+ tendency to obscure the point that there may have been another system
+ in vogue, more simple, more modern, in short purely phonetic. Perfected
+ phonetic characters are simple characters and are likely not to attract
+ notice, especially when attention has been fixed on other forms.</p>
+
+ <p>So far as now understood, there is no relationship between any kind
+ of Amerindian writing and that of other races. Like everything <span class="pagenum" id="Page_81">81</span>else
+ pertaining to the Amerind people, the development appears to have been
+ purely indigenous. Le Plongeon, however, asserts that “abundant proofs
+ of the intimate communications of the ancient Mayas with the civilised
+ nations of Asia, Africa, and Europe are to be found among the remains
+ of their ruined cities.”<a id="FNanchor_71" href="#Footnote_71" class="fnanchor">[71]</a> The grounds accepted for this statement
+ do not seem to be sufficient to satisfy other investigators. Certainly
+ if there was any inter-communication, it was before the acquirement of
+ iron-working in other countries, as so far no prehistoric iron has been
+ found in the ruins of Yucatan.</p>

+
+ <p>After the coming of the Spaniards, some of the Mayas soon learned
+ their alphabet and the missionaries added, says Brinton, “a sufficient
+ number of signs to it to express with tolerable accuracy the phonetics
+ of the Maya tongue. Relying on their memories, and, no doubt, aided
+ by some manuscripts secretly preserved,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_82">82</span> many natives set to work to
+ write out in this new alphabet the contents of their ancient records.
+ Much was added which had been brought in by the Europeans, and much
+ omitted which had become unintelligible or obsolete since the Conquest,
+ while of course the different writers varying in skill and knowledge
+ produced works of very various merit. Nevertheless each of these books
+ bore the same name. In whatever village it was written, or by whatever
+ hand, it always was, and to-day still is, called ‘<cite>The Book of Chilan
+ Balam</cite>.’ To distinguish them apart, the name of the village where
+ a copy was found or written is added. Probably in the last century
+ almost every village had one, which was treasured with superstitious
+ veneration.” Sixteen of these curious books are known to exist, but
+ there has never been a complete translation of any of them. The
+ following specimen is from <cite>The Book of Chilan Balam</cite> of the town
+ of Mani, and is taken from Brinton’s <cite>Chronicles of the Maya</cite>.<a id="FNanchor_72" href="#Footnote_72" class="fnanchor">[72]</a></p>

+
+ <p>The strange title of these books is derived from that of the priests
+ or shamans, who were believed to have divine powers. 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 •&nbsp;• two, and so on to four •&nbsp;•&nbsp;•&nbsp;•, 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="">

+
+ <div class="subheadc">BASKETRY AND POTTERY</div>
+
+ <p class="drop-cap">ALMOST every tribe the world round seems to have acquired at a very
+ early stage in its progress a knowledge of plaiting rushes, strips
+ of bark, or other simple substances, for use as beds, covering of
+ shelters, etc., and in this knowledge may be discovered the beginnings
+ of several arts of the first importance to man: basketry, weaving,
+ and pottery. 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. Having produced a mat and used it for various purposes,
+ the turning up of the sides, or edges, for the purpose of retaining
+ things upon it, thereby producing a shallow basket or tray, was an
+ easy step, and by such stages did basketry grow to perfection.<a id="FNanchor_77" href="#Footnote_77" class="fnanchor">[77]</a> The
+ Amerinds excelled particularly in this art, and there were few tribes
+ without ability to make baskets and other wicker-work, the character
+ and excellence of which depended to a considerable extent on the
+ material available.</p>
+
+ <p>Wicker jugs, rendered water-tight by means of pitch, were invented and
+ used for cookery, hot stones being introduced through the wide mouth,
+ to bring the contents to the required temperature, and it was the
+ effort to protect the basketry used in the various culinary operations
+ from the effects of the heat that led to coatings of mud or clay,
+ which being hardened by the fire, disclosed the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_89">89</span>great secret. There
+ is still in use among some of the more primitive tribes of America a
+ “boiling-basket,” that is, a wicker jug rendered waterproof, and in
+ which food is cooked as indicated. In Zuñi this basket was known as a
+ “coiled cooking basket,” and the corrugated earthen pot used to this
+ day is called a “coiled earthenware cooking basket.” And the Navajos
+ still call earthenware pots, “kle-it-tsa” or mud-basket. In these
+ terms is seen a clear indication of the origin of pottery among the
+ Amerinds in basketry. Cushing found these boiling-baskets in use a few
+ years <span class="pagenum" id="Page_90">90</span>ago among the Havasupai, who live an isolated life in northern
+ Arizona, and I saw similar jugs among the Amerinds of Utah twenty years
+ ago, and some more recently among the Moki, the latter, however, not
+ using them for boiling purposes, and perhaps not being the makers of
+ them. They are bottle-shaped, but with wide mouths, and provided near
+ their rims with a sort of cord or strap for a handle attached to two
+ loops or eyes. In some of the pots derived from this form these loops
+ are represented by little knobs of clay, or by an ornament.</p>

+
+ <p>Cushing describes the Havasupai in Arizona as using a wicker tray lined
+ with clay for the purpose of roasting or parching seeds, and this
+ was probably used by all primitive peoples. The seeds were placed on
+ the clay-lined tray and agitated with live coals. Naturally the clay
+ is hardened by the heat of the coals, and would be sure to suggest
+ the making of utensils from it by means of fire. The turning up of
+ the edges would follow the use of the first trays made of clay, in
+ imitation of wicker bowls, and so would other forms of basketry be
+ imitated, as well as forms in horn, wood or shell. Perhaps the wicker
+ jugs may have been coated with clay on the outside for protection, and
+ eventually the heat not only baked the clay but destroyed the wicker
+ framework that had supported it. Thus jugs of clay may have been made
+ by burning away the framework every time, just as Lamb’s discoverer of
+ roast pig could find no other way of securing his toothsome morsel than
+ that of burning down the house. Or the jar may have been modelled on
+ the inside and then the wicker burned off. When we speak contemptuously
+ of primitive peoples it is well to remember that they were inventors as
+ well as ourselves.</p>

+
+ <p>When the art of pottery was discovered basketry remained in use, for
+ pottery could not take its place in many uses then any more than it can
+ to-day. 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. Tribes might attain a wonderful development politically, like
+ the Iroquois, and yet possess hardly any proficiency in any art, while
+ others, like the Navajos, with scarcely any political development,
+ possess high artistic skill in weaving and metal-working, but none in
+ pottery. 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. On the North-west coast
+ little or no pottery is found. Quality and quantity increase as we
+ approach Yucatan.</p>
+
+ <p>Tribes with unfavourable environment would find it next to impossible
+ to acquire skill in pottery. The Eskimo, with a temperature for the
+ greater part of the year near or below freezing, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_94">94</span>and a scarcity
+ of fuel, would find moulding forms out of wet clay about the last
+ occupation to think of. The Eskimo, therefore, made almost nothing of
+ clay except occasionally a lamp.<a id="FNanchor_79" href="#Footnote_79" class="fnanchor">[79]</a> The Kutchins of the Yukon country
+ make pots and cups of clay, but in the main the Far Northern people
+ rely on basketry, soapstone, and on metallic vessels obtained from the
+ whites. 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. The art of making it
+ has been forgotten by the tribe.”<a id="FNanchor_80" href="#Footnote_80" class="fnanchor">[80]</a></p>

+
+ <p>Various conditions might cause a tribe to cease making pottery, if
+ it were not a sedentary tribe. One constantly on the move would
+ either never learn to make pottery, or if, during some sedentary
+ period, it had acquired this art it would soon drop it, because <span class="pagenum" id="Page_96">96</span>in
+ primitive travel basketry and gourds are lighter and more serviceable
+ than the crude pottery they could produce. Thus if a tribe living a
+ comparatively quiet life and developing the potter’s art came into
+ possession of the horse, the pottery might be abandoned because it
+ could not readily be transported. This would apply only to tribes
+ making rude pottery, for where a people had attained great proficiency
+ in this direction they would not give it up, except, as in the case
+ of Taos, they could purchase nearby a sufficient supply. Proficiency
+ would only accompany a sedentary life, so that great skill in pottery
+ would be a rather sure index of the character and progress of a
+ people in other directions. While a people might achieve progress
+ without doing much in pottery, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_98">98</span>if they did excel in pottery it
+ would be an indication of excellence in other lines. Pottery is
+ well-nigh imperishable, and therefore it is often the chief record
+ that a departed people has left behind. Where almost every other
+ distinguishing vestige has completely disappeared, we may frequently
+ still discover scattered on the surface fragments of pottery, or buried
+ in the soil complete specimens, which by their form, texture, or
+ decorative treatment tell what manner of people these were who lived
+ their lives and passed away; tell the limits of their distribution,
+ and also to what other tribes or people they were related. Pottery
+ therefore, next to actual records and inscriptions, is probably the
+ most valuable as well as often the only kind of remains, that a race
+ has left.</p>

+
+ <p>European pottery has long received close attention from archæologists,
+ but it is only within recent years that it has been thought worth
+ while to study that of the Western continent. 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. This was sometimes so coarse and
+ abundant in the old pottery that in the fragments picked up one can
+ frequently see large grains of sand.</p>

+ <p>All pottery of primitive races belongs to the class known as
+ <em>soft</em> <span class="pagenum" id="Page_100">100</span>pottery, as distinguished from what we call stoneware
+ or <em>hard</em> pottery in its different forms. 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. If this is the case, how could we expect to find remains
+ of pottery in glacial drift?</p>

+ <span class="pagenum" id="Page_102">102</span>apparently made by firing the plain ware and then applying a thick

+ <p>The valley of the Mississippi is as prolific in its yield of pottery
+ as the South-west, though most of it is found in mounds. It has
+ therefore been attributed to a departed and mysterious race which has
+ been called “Moundbuilder.” <span class="pagenum" id="Page_103">103</span>These mounds, however, were clearly the
+ work of different tribes and were erected for different purposes, and
+ there is no evidence to show that the builders were not Amerinds,
+ similar to tribes that were encountered by our people. True, some of
+ these tribes or stocks may have become extinct before whites entered
+ the region, for tribes rose to power, dwindled, and disappeared, but
+ that does not prove that they were anything but Amerinds, even though
+ they may have developed qualities and arts not practised by Amerinds
+ we have known. 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. Ladles, common in Pueblo ware, are of rare occurrence
+ in that of the Moundbuilders, while rectangular box-like vessels are
+ found, which, though rare, are of wide distribution. One remarkable
+ object found in Tennessee is an earthenware burial casket formed of two
+ parts, a body and a lid, and it still bears marks of the baking. It
+ contains the remains of a small child, reduced to dust, except portions
+ of the skull and limbs; and two or three dozen small shell beads. It
+ weighs altogether 12¼ pounds. Another peculiar vessel was shaped like a
+ shallow trough, with a flat lip or projection at each end. While there
+ was undoubtedly in all tribes a certain progression of forms based on
+ those of basketry, etc., as before noted, it must not be forgotten that
+ there is a parallelism with wheel-made ware that cannot but strike the
+ student with amazement. So great is the symmetry and so graceful are
+ the shapes that one is led to suspect the employment of mechanical
+ devices of a high order.”<a id="FNanchor_86" href="#Footnote_86" class="fnanchor">[86]</a></p>

+
+ <p>The Mississippi valley, according to Holmes, may be divided into three
+ districts as far as the pottery is concerned: the upper, the middle,
+ and the lower districts. This would seem to indicate as many different
+ tribes or stocks, or even different periods of occupancy by either the
+ same stock or by different stocks. The most northerly examples are
+ the rudest and most different from the others. Some of the pottery
+ that is advanced as showing a skill in sculpture not possessed by
+ Amerinds of the North can be explained in another way than by assuming
+ that the makers were different from other Amerinds of the Mississippi
+ valley as we have known them. 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. Here is death
+ present with us as plainly as it is in the well-preserved features of
+ an Egyptian mummy.... Soft clay was pressed upon the dead features, and
+ when sufficiently dry it was removed and other soft clay thinly pressed
+ into the mould obtained. The mask thus made was built upon till the
+ jar before us was completed.... The interior of the wall follows the
+ exterior closely except in projecting features. The potter, finding
+ it difficult as well as unnecessary, to work the clay evenly into the
+ <span class="pagenum" id="Page_108">108</span>projections of the mould, filled them up more or less solidly.” This
+ vase is five inches in height and five inches wide from ear to ear.
+ It is open at the top, and has a perforated knob over the middle of
+ the forehead, perhaps for attaching a head-dress, and the ears are
+ perforated. These holes also would permit cords to be attached, by
+ which the jar could be hung, probably in a dead-house where the body of
+ the deceased original was laid. It has been stated that the features
+ exhibited in this vase are not “Indian,” but there seems to be no
+ ground for such a statement. The features are apparently those of an
+ Amerind boy fourteen or sixteen years of age.</p>

+ <figcaption>IMPRESSION OF PARTS OF BASKET MOULD ON POTTERY</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>Of the basketry of the Mississippi valley there are, of course, no
+ ancient specimens. 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. Those nearest the great
+ culture centre acquired most culture, hence the farther north the less
+ pottery. The homogeneity of the Amerinds was due to causes operating
+ on this continent at a very early period, and the same causes may
+ explain why the Moundbuilder, the Pueblo, and the Southern stocks were
+ good potters, while the Algonquins, the Dakotas, the Athapascans, and
+ other Northern stocks were so inferior in this respect, while not being
+ inferior in others.<a id="FNanchor_92" href="#Footnote_92" class="fnanchor">[92]</a></p>

+
+ <p>The Aztecs, Zapotecs, Mayas, and other people of the Mexican <span class="pagenum" id="Page_112">112</span>region
+ were expert potters; and it was in this region that working in clay,
+ like everything else, was carried to the highest degree of perfection
+ on this continent, and where evidence is found of seemingly true glaze.
+ Not only ordinary pottery of beautiful shapes and excellent texture
+ was made, but large funeral vases of elaborate form, terra-cotta
+ water-pipes, and terra-cotta figures, some of them of almost or
+ quite life size. Saville recently found some of these funeral jars
+ and terra-cotta figures in the Zapotec country, south of the city of
+ Mexico, in the province of Oaxaca, and there are specimens in the
+ Museum of Natural History in New York. 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>

+
+ <p>The specimen now in the New York Museum, <a href="#i_113">page 113</a>, is about five feet
+ in height, and while, artistically, it is crude, it exhibits great
+ skill in the potter’s art. 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. There are whistles,
+ drums, rattles, round vases with necks and without necks; vases of
+ simple and vases of complex form; vases and jars with elaborate
+ handles; vases with annular bases or feet; and vases with short or
+ long legs, three in number generally. This field is so rich that it is
+ practicable to give here only a suggestion of what it affords, and the
+ reader is referred to the admirable paper by Holmes.<a href="#Footnote_96" class="fnanchor">[96]</a></p>

+
+ <p>In the matter of decoration there is found a general similarity of
+ methods in the different regions. 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>

+
+ <p>Another method of ornamentation was that of scratching or engraving
+ the ware after it had been fired. This is seen in figures on pages
+ <a href="#i_120">120</a> and <a href="#i_121">121</a>, from Arkansas. Still another method of ornamentation was
+ produced after the ware was smoothed to its finish, whether coil-made
+ or not, by drawing on it with a point. An example of this is seen on
+ <a href="#i_103-1">page 103</a>, also from Arkansas. 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 Pueblos,
+ ancient and modern, have produced an astonishing variety of designs,
+ and the same may be said of the Mexicans, Mayas, Zapotecs, Chiriquis,
+ and other stocks of the South. A large volume could barely do justice
+ to this subject, but enough has been given here to show the nature,
+ distribution, and trend of pottery making by the Amerindian Tribes.<a id="FNanchor_98" href="#Footnote_98" class="fnanchor">[98]</a></p>

+
+ <div class="subheadc">WEAVING AND COSTUME</div>
+
+ <p class="drop-cap">THE first article of dress of primitive people was not a woven stuff,
+ but nevertheless weaving, like pottery, begins in plaiting and
+ basketry, and is an ancient art. 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_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>

+
+ <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>

+ <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.... Fossil bones of an animal of this
+ family have been found in the South-west; but its bones were not
+ identified in the Salado ruins.”<a href="#Footnote_103" class="fnanchor">[103]</a></p>
+
+ <p>The Pai Utes made a garment of rabbit-skins which was very warm. 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>

+ <figcaption>DETAILS OF NAVAJO LOOM CONSTRUCTION</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>The Navajo loom is set up anywhere and a shelter of boughs built over
+ it. As the rainfall is light in the Navajo country, it is not necessary
+ to provide permanent shelters. 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>

+
+ <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>

+
+ <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>

+
+ <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>

+ <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>

+ <p>The Makahs of the North-west region (U.&nbsp;S.) manufacture a kind of cloth
+ out of cedar bark. “The inner bark is selected, boiled, or macerated,
+ and then pounded and hatcheled out. The bark is made to form the warp,
+ the woof being made of grass thread. This stuff is pliable, and makes a
+ convenient outer garment. Very pretty capes, edged with sea-otter skin,
+ are made of it. This tribe also are the principal manufacturers of the
+ cedar mats which are used on the Sound. These are entirely of bark,
+ formed into narrow strips, and woven on the floor. They are thin and
+ perfectly even in texture.”<a id="FNanchor_127" href="#Footnote_127" class="fnanchor">[127]</a> Among the tribes of the North-west:
+ “The women universally wore a breech-clout of strands gathered around
+ the waist and falling usually to the knees.... With the men no idea of
+ modesty existed.”<a id="FNanchor_128" href="#Footnote_128" class="fnanchor">[128]</a> They sometimes wear a bearskin with the hair
+ out tied around the throat. “Their hats, when they wear any, are of
+ the conical form common along the coast.”<a id="FNanchor_129" href="#Footnote_129" class="fnanchor">[129]</a> A conical wicker hat
+ similar to the Japanese shape is found among the Tlinkits (Koluschan)
+ and Chimmesyan up on the Alaskan coast. I saw several at Sitka in the
+ summer of 1899, but not in use. The head covering of various tribes
+ differs considerably. The skull-cap, woven like a basket, was never
+ found, so far as I know, in the Mississippi region. The Pai Utes
+ formerly <span class="pagenum" id="Page_148">148</span>wore caps, or at least some of them did, the men wearing a
+ little buckskin affair tied under the chin with strings. The remainder
+ of their costume often consisted of a string around the waist from
+ which was suspended front and rear a cloth of buckskin reaching half
+ way to the ground. 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>

+
+ <p>Some of the Pueblo women tie their hair in a knot behind like the
+ Navajo women; in fact, both Navajo women and men closely resemble the
+ Pueblo in their dress, the reason in my opinion being that advanced
+ before: namely, the incorporation of Pueblo stock. The Moki men also
+ sometimes wear their hair like Navajos, but full-blood Navajos have
+ taken up their residence with the Moki, so it may be confined to these
+ and their children. The regular Moki method of dressing a man’s hair
+ is to “bang” it across the eyebrows, cut the side locks straight back
+ on the lower line of the ear, and gather the remainder into a knot
+ behind.<a id="FNanchor_131" href="#Footnote_131" class="fnanchor">[131]</a> The brush used is composed of a bunch of stiff grass
+ <span class="pagenum" id="Page_152">152</span>
+ tied round the middle with a string. Both Navajo and Moki men as well

+ The costumes worn in the various ceremonials of the Navajos, Pueblos,
+ Iroquois, and other Amerinds are so numerous and so varied that there
+ is no space in a chapter like this for a description of them.</p>

+ <p>In the line of embroidery comes the beadwork, see <a href="#Page_125">p. 125</a>, the
+ ornamentation with quills, and embroidery with yarns. I will only
+ mention the embroidery of the Mokis, which is done on the ends of broad
+ cotton sashes, with coloured yarns. This is the only form in which I
+ have seen it. The pattern is elaborate, and often a foot or more at
+ each end of a sash will be thus ornamented. The Pueblo women wore a
+ roll on the head on which a water-jar was balanced. Coronado mentions
+ this thus: “I also send two rolls, such as the women usually wear on
+ their heads when they bring water from the spring, the same way that
+ they do in Spain. One of these Indian women, with one of these rolls
+ on her head, will carry a jar of water up a ladder without touching it
+ with her hands.”<a id="FNanchor_132" href="#Footnote_132" class="fnanchor">[132]</a> Some of the Pueblo women still use rings to carry
+ water-jars on their heads. See figure on <a href="#Page_151">page 151</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>Jaramillo speaks of the natives of the first village of “Cibola” as
+ having clothing of “deerskins, very carefully tanned, and they also
+ prepare some tanned cowhides, with which they cover themselves, which
+ are like shawls and a great protection. They have square cloaks of
+ cotton, some larger than others, about a yard and a half long. The
+ Indians wear them thrown over the shoulder like a gypsy and fastened
+ with one end over the other, with a girdle, also of cotton.”<a id="FNanchor_133" href="#Footnote_133" class="fnanchor">[133]</a>
+ Other Pueblos of New Mexico he describes as having “some long robes
+ of feathers which they braid, joining the feathers with a sort of
+ thread; and they also make them of a sort of plain weaving with which
+ they make the cloaks with which they protect themselves.” In the
+ <cite>Relación Postrera</cite>, the Cibola dress is described also, and I
+ add it here because these accounts show so conclusively that the art
+ of weaving was in full practice in this northern country before the
+ Europeans entered it. “Some of these people wear cloaks of cotton
+ and of the maguey (or Mexican aloe) and of tanned deerskin, and they
+ wear shoes made of these skins, reaching up to the knees. They also
+ make cloaks of the skins of hares and rabbits, with which they cover
+ themselves. The women wear cloaks of the maguey, reaching down to the
+ feet, with girdles; they wear their hair gathered about the ears like
+ little wheels.”<a id="FNanchor_134" href="#Footnote_134" class="fnanchor">[134]</a> I would specially call attention to the similarity
+ to the costume of the present Moki, even to <span class="pagenum" id="Page_154">154</span>the hair-dressing. The
+ Seminole men had a singular way of wearing their hair. It was cut
+ “close to the head, except a strip about an inch wide, running over
+ the front of the scalp from temple to temple, and another strip, of
+ about the same width, perpendicular to the former, crossing the crown
+ of the head to the nape of the neck. At each temple a heavy tuft was
+ allowed to hang to the bottom of the lobe of the ear. The long hair of
+ the strip crossing to the neck is generally gathered and braided into
+ two ornamental queues.”<a id="FNanchor_135" href="#Footnote_135" class="fnanchor">[135]</a> The mustache is worn among the Seminole,
+ Navajo, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_155">155</span>Tlinkit, Eskimo, and other tribes. Some Eskimo shave a round
+ place on the crown of the head. Some Amerinds also wear a small beard.</p>

+
+ <p>Many Amerinds, especially the men, wore, as before mentioned, nothing
+ whatever in mild weather, and even in winter the dress of some,
+ especially in the more southerly regions, was far from elaborate. I
+ remember one February, in the mountains of Arizona, visiting a camp of
+ Shevwits to have a talk with the chief. Proceeding toward his wikiup, I
+ found him near it lying naked, basking in the sun, only partly covered
+ by a rabbit-skin robe. He seemed to be warm and happy, the spot being
+ a sheltered one in a canyon, and the rays of the sun being comfortably
+ warm. In a <cite>Journal of a Voyage to New York in 1679–80</cite>, the
+ authors, speaking of the natives near Sandy Hook, said: “They wear
+ something in front, over the thighs, and a piece of duffels, like a
+ blanket, around the body, and this is all the clothing they have. Their
+ hair hangs down from their head in strings, well smeared with fat,
+ and sometimes with quantities of little beads twisted in it out of
+ pride.”<a id="FNanchor_136" href="#Footnote_136" class="fnanchor">[136]</a></p>

+
+ <p>In war the body was generally naked in many tribes.<a id="FNanchor_137" href="#Footnote_137" class="fnanchor">[137]</a> The Navajo
+ warrior wore absolutely nothing but the breech-cloth, and I am not sure
+ that he wore even that. 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>

+
+ <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>

+
+ <p class="drop-cap">THE shaping of objects in clay, wood, or stone, or other material,
+ known as carving, modelling, etc., constitutes sculpture. Some form of
+ these methods was in use in very primitive times for the production
+ of weapons or tools of wood, bone, or stone. But the greatest schools
+ of sculpture were basketry and pottery, for in the practice of these
+ arts a sense of form and proportion could not be dispensed with.
+ Thus sculpture finds its birth in several arts, but particularly in
+ basketry, stone-shaping, and pottery. Taken all in all, the Mayas of
+ Yucatan seem to have been the greatest artists and sculptors, and as
+ we travel northward from there the skill in art gradually diminishes
+ till, on passing the old Aztec realm, it drops off rapidly. Far to
+ the northward the “Moundbuilders” exhibited a moderate skill and in
+ some objects a similarity to Mexican work, and still farther to the
+ north-westward the Haidas, Kwakiutls, etc., in their totem poles,
+ canoes, etc., show not only a singular proficiency in carving in wood,
+ but also similarities to some of the Mexican work.</p>

+ <p>Masks, pipes, rattles, and other ceremonial paraphernalia gave the
+ Amerind sculptor much to do. 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>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>

+
+ <p>All the Amerinds of the North-west coast carve wooden masks, but here
+ again, the Haidas excel, though the Tlinkits are not far behind. It is
+ the same with the other work, boxes, rattles, etc. Some of the bowls,
+ hollowed from a single piece of wood, and carved on the exterior with
+ their strange figures, and polished, have a decided artistic merit. 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>

+
+ <p>“A person,” says Boas, “may have the general crest of his clan and,
+ besides, use as his personal crest such guardian spirits as he
+ has acquired. This accounts partly for the great multiplicity of
+ combinations of crests which we observe on the carvings of these
+ people.... The crest is used for ornamenting objects belonging to a
+ member of the clan; they are carved on columns intended to perpetuate
+ the memory of a deceased relative, painted on the house front or carved
+ on a column which is placed in front of the house, and are also shown
+ as masks in festivals of the clan.”<a id="FNanchor_147" href="#Footnote_147" class="fnanchor">[147]</a> Some of the grave monuments
+ of the Kwakiutls, the Chimmesyans, the Tlinkits, and others of the
+ region<span class="pagenum" id="Page_167">167</span> are ambitious carvings and represent considerable labour on the
+ part of the sculptor. 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. This bird’s wings were originally
+ painted black to represent feathers, but this decoration has worn off.
+ It is now in the American Museum. 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. To eat it and even to touch or to
+ see it is sure death, as all the joints of the unfortunate one become
+ dislocated, the head being turned backward. But to those who enjoy
+ supernatural help it may bring power.”<a id="FNanchor_148" href="#Footnote_148" class="fnanchor">[148]</a> These North-west tribes
+ seem to love to carve, and decorate almost everything that will admit
+ of it in this manner. In the vicinity of Fort Rupert there are on the
+ beach a number of rock carvings. These represent faces of sea monsters,
+ and also some of them human faces.</p>

+
+ <p>Amongst the Eskimos carving is limited, generally, to a sort of
+ engraving on bone and ivory, except in the matter of masks, which
+ are rudely shaped out of wood without any of the elaborate finish
+ that is observed in the work of Amerinds farther south. The wood they
+ have had to work with is not the kind that promotes carving, and
+ ivory is a rather difficult material to shape. Nevertheless, they
+ occasionally, form some attractive little heads from it, to adorn
+ the end of a harpoon line or something of that sort. They also shape
+ their drill bows and other implements to some extent and decorate them
+ with neat engraving. Some of these decorations are very pleasing, and
+ exhibit the same taste for symmetrical ornamentation that is found
+ throughout the continent. When they attempt to represent form they are
+ generally successful in giving it the proper character with less of
+ the childish grotesqueness that is seen in most Amerind work. How much
+ the long intercourse with Europeans on whalers has modified the art
+ efforts of the Eskimo it is not possible to judge. Murdoch<a id="FNanchor_149" href="#Footnote_149" class="fnanchor">[149]</a> gives
+ illustrations of seals and whales shaped by the Point Barrow Eskimo,
+ but aside from the <em>character</em> of the animal being generally
+ fairly well rendered, there is little that is artistically interesting
+ in the work. What I mean by character is that you can generally tell
+ what is intended by an Eskimo carving, which is not always the case
+ with the sculptured efforts of other Amerinds, though the finish may
+ be better. Boas gives illustrations of the carved work of the Central
+ Eskimo,<a id="FNanchor_150" href="#Footnote_150" class="fnanchor">[150]</a> which show the same characteristics as the Western.</p>
+
+ <p>The Far Northern tribes, as a rule, are inferior to the other
+ Amerinds, in sculptural work, yet the Eskimo, mechanically, were, in
+ many respects, apparently in advance of all others. They possessed
+ the lamp, the only stock on the continent who did, but, after all,
+ this shows only the adaptability that saved them from destruction. In
+ a world without fuel and with plenty of seal oil, they would never
+ have survived if they had not invented a way to secure heat from the
+ oil. The Amerind of the forested regions had no need for a lamp. The
+ possession of the lamp, therefore, is no indication of higher mental
+ powers, but of a more severe environment. Nor, on the other hand, is
+ the limited amount of their carving an indication on their part of
+ inferior mental endowment. It is, again, the result of circumstances,
+ as pointed out above. In a region without suitable material or climate
+ for extensive carving,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_170">170</span> they did not carve, that is all. Place them for
+ a few generations in the region of the Haidas, and they would begin to
+ develop many different habits and traits.</p>

+ </figure>
+
+ <p>On the Atlantic coast, few specimens of sculpture have, thus far, been
+ found, nor has any carving of consequence been disclosed. In New Jersey
+ some rude heads in stone have come to light, but such finds are rare.
+ As the bounds of the Mississippi valley are entered, however, the art
+ remains immediately increase in importance, but not to the exaggerated
+ extent claimed by many writers. The carvings and sculptures of the
+ Mississippi valley are, like all Amerind products in this line, crude,
+ and there is no warrant for the claims that the occupants of the region
+ were not “Indians,” so far as these remains testify. The most striking
+ work found up to the present is that of the head-shaped vases from
+ Pecan Point, Arkansas, but as I have pointed out before,<a id="FNanchor_151" href="#Footnote_151" class="fnanchor">[151]</a> these
+ vases were not modelled free-hand, but were the result of a process,
+ are in fact death-masks, built into the vases. While it was a clever
+ thing to accomplish these in that way, yet it is a mechanical method,
+ and has little to do with artistic skill. Thomas Wilson says of these
+ vases that they “divide themselves <span class="pagenum" id="Page_171">171</span>into two distinct groups. The
+ specimens forming the first group are death-masks, as becomes more
+ and more evident the more the objects are studied; the other group,
+ while of the same general form as the first, the human head being
+ represented, has the face and features wrought upon it free-hand, as in
+ sculpturing, without the aid of mould or cast.”<a id="FNanchor_152" href="#Footnote_152" class="fnanchor">[152]</a> It may be added
+ that the second group is far inferior to the first, and is quite in
+ line with the rest of the remains of this district.</p>
+
+ <p>The tobacco pipes of the region were lauded as perfect examples of
+ the sculptor’s art, but if one gives them critical examination, it is
+ at once plain that they are not out of the Amerind line, and, what is
+ more, that as specimens of sculpture they are pretty bad, because it
+ is difficult to decide just what they represent. Even the Eskimo give
+ their work character enough to distinguish it, yet the Moundbuilder did
+ much of his carving so poorly that there has been frequent diversity
+ of opinion as to what it was intended to depict. Henshaw took up the
+ matter, and has shown that the degree of excellence of representation
+ in the carving of the Moundbuilder pipes, so long extolled, has been
+ overrated.</p>

+ <figcaption>STONE PIPE FROM NORTH CAROLINA MOUND</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>The tobacco pipe, bearing, as it did, a peculiar relation to the sacred
+ paraphernalia and ceremonies of the Amerinds, received much attention
+ from them and was frequently elaborate, from the Amerind standpoint,
+ in its details. 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>. The
+ base of these pipes was slightly curved downwards, the bowl rising from
+ about the centre of the platform, on the convex side. Many of these
+ show marks <span class="pagenum" id="Page_172">172</span>of steel tools.<a id="FNanchor_153" href="#Footnote_153" class="fnanchor">[153]</a> Squier and Davis, who published their
+ work in 1848, discerned wonderful artistic skill in the Moundbuilder
+ pipes, and they discovered an intimate acquaintance between the
+ Moundbuilder artists and far-off tropical birds and animals, probably
+ because in those days it was thought that an “Indian” was absolutely
+ incapable of producing anything. 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>. Thus is this supposed
+ tropical acquaintance easily disposed of and the crow, certainly not
+ a rare bird in that locality, substituted. A turkey buzzard is shown
+ to be a hawk, and other foreign types claimed by Squier and Davis are
+ disproved with ease. Out of forty-five carvings on pipes figured by
+ them only five, by Henshaw’s tests, are correctly named. Some carvings,
+ which they were unable to identify, Henshaw places without any effort.
+ As for the so-called manatees, he <span class="pagenum" id="Page_174">174</span>believes they were intended for
+ otter. 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. The element of imagination also comes in, for Amerinds
+ often produce drawings or carvings of animals they think they have
+ seen, or as they appeared to them in a sudden and fleeting glimpse, or
+ vision.</p>

+
+ <p>It was a lack of ability to reproduce accurately the lines and
+ character of <em>any</em> object which caused some of the Moundbuilder
+ pipes intended to represent the common otter to look like something
+ else. As a matter of fact, these Moundbuilder pipe carvings, about
+ which so much that is unwarranted has been written, are not superior to
+ the carvings of the Haidas, or other stocks, and indeed, if anything,
+ are not equal to them. They certainly do not compare for a moment with
+ most of the work of the Mexican tribes. 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

+ <p>A number of stone statues of the human figure have been unearthed from
+ Georgia to Tennessee, varying in height from three or four inches
+ to something over twenty. They are all of the crudest description,
+ and so far as any resemblance to the type of man who made them is
+ concerned are absolutely valueless. They are undoubtedly human forms,
+ that is all; not another characteristic, except sex, indicated by
+ breasts, is presented. They are mostly in a squatting posture and on
+ one or two there seems to be a suggestion of the hair dressed behind.
+ Effigy bottles of earthenware from Tennessee are similarly crude and
+ primitive. There is little, therefore, in the whole Mississippi valley
+ or on the Atlantic coast, in the line of carving or sculpture, that
+ could not have been executed by Amerinds that have been known to our
+ race, many of them living in the same localities where the art remains
+ have been found. The superlative rank awarded Moundbuilder art is
+ unwarranted.</p>

+ the people were, many of them, still there when the first Spaniards
+ came into the country in 1540, so that we have data to prevent the

+ checked the romantic tendency except in the case of a few who will not

+
+ <p>All of them pitched their camps or built their houses as expediency
+ dictated, and when cause arose to render them dissatisfied with their
+ site, whether cliff-house, village, or camp, they moved to a more
+ desirable place, leaving behind what they could not easily carry,
+ as well as their houses. Thus in the course of a long time the area
+ presented the appearance from the numerous remains <span class="pagenum" id="Page_178">178</span>of having a
+ larger population than was really the case; though I may add that
+ I believe the population was at one time somewhat greater than has
+ usually been admitted by the best ethnologists. These various stocks
+ carried on their daily avocations, and when the results were in some
+ indestructible material, many of them were preserved to us, which,
+ taken in connection with the productions of the modern tribes, give an
+ excellent and correct impression of the life and occupations of the

+ a more cultured tribe. Many of these tribes did no carving whatever,
+ and the region of our South-west is poor in this sort of remains. The
+ Pueblos, while possessing other artistic talents of a high order, do
+ not seem to have done much in the line of carving. They execute the
+ ordinary fetiches with little or no shape, and they also produce a kind
+ of small doll for the children and some that are used in ceremonies,
+ figure <a href="#Page_178">page 178</a>, but all these, and all the masks in ceremonies, are
+ fearful things to look upon, bearing little or no resemblance to
+ anything human; shapeless, botched up masses of hideousness, usually
+ not carved or modelled, but built up out of various stuffs. Some of
+ them model effigies in earthenware, but these attempts do not amount
+ to much. I have never seen any wood carving, from this region, worth
+ mentioning. A. M. Stephen made a sketch of two figures in wood with
+ small knots or horns called the Alosaka, which I copied, but they are
+ primitive to the last degree. These figures were about four feet high,
+ and were of cottonwood, apparently very old. Figures above. They were
+ discovered by accident in a cave near the ruins of Awatuwi and removed.
+ When the loss was learned by the Moki they requested the return of the
+ images, which was granted, and they have not been seen since, nor does
+ anyone outside of the custodians, or at least no white man, know where
+ they are. Around the Moki towns I saw not a single attempt at rock
+ carving, nor do I remember in extensive journeys over the South-western
+ region ever seeing any <span class="pagenum" id="Page_180">180</span>relief carving whatever. Rock scratchings,
+ erroneously termed “etchings” by many writers on these subjects, I
+ have seen in great abundance, but not an attempt at sculpture worth
+ noticing. There may, however, in some of the villages, be carvings
+ nevertheless. Governor Prince found at a ruin near Cochiti a number
+ of rudely formed stone figures of human shape. Nearby there are two
+ panthers carved life size in the tufa which forms the surface rock of
+ the locality. They “lie side by side,” says Bandelier, “representing
+ the animals as crouching with tails extended, and their heads pointing
+ to the east.”<a id="FNanchor_157" href="#Footnote_157" class="fnanchor">[157]</a> Their length is six feet, one third of this being
+ tail. The height is two feet and <span class="pagenum" id="Page_181">181</span>the breadth across the shoulders
+ fourteen inches, and across the rump seventeen inches. They are about
+ twenty-two inches apart. Around them is an irregular pentagonal
+ enclosure, “made of large blocks, flags, and slabs of volcanic rock,
+ some of which are set in the ground like posts, while the majority
+ are piled on each other so as to connect the upright pillars.... When
+ I last saw the monument it looked like a diminutive and dilapidated
+ Stonehenge.”<a id="FNanchor_158" href="#Footnote_158" class="fnanchor">[158]</a> Another pair of similar panthers occurs at not
+ a great distance off at a place now called the <i lang="es">Potrero de los
+ Idolos</i>. The size is about the same as the others. “One of them
+ is completely destroyed by treasure hunters, who loosened both from
+ the rock by a blast of powder, and then heaved the ponderous blocks
+ out by means of crowbars. After breaking one of the figures to pieces
+ they satisfied themselves that nothing was buried underneath.... The
+ imperfections of the sculpture are very apparent; were it not for the
+ statements of the Indians, who positively assert that the intention
+ of the makers was to represent a puma, it would be considered to be a

+ <figcaption>THE AZTEC “CALENDAR” STONE</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>Proceeding southward, however, when we approach the vicinity of the
+ City of Mexico, examples of carving appear, and it is quickly evident
+ that the Aztecs gave great attention to this form of art. One of the
+ most remarkable specimens is the so-called Calendar Stone dug up under
+ the present city, and now in the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_182">182</span>Mexican National Museum. It has been
+ called a sacrificial stone, but Bandelier thinks it may have served
+ rather as the base for another stone, holding the rope of a captive
+ doomed to the “gladiatorial” sacrifice. 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. Then come eight divisions by what appear to be
+ arrow-heads, four being extended farther toward the centre than the
+ others and also curled up at the ends or flukes, and one of these four
+ ending in an elaborate sort of bow-knot ornament which covers a wide
+ space at what is now the lower edge as it stands. 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. The N., E., and W., are more prominent than any other points
+ but the S., which has the decoration referred to. Then come the N.E.,
+ S.E., S.W., and N.W., with each set of intermediate points diminishing
+ in importance.<a id="FNanchor_160" href="#Footnote_160" class="fnanchor">[160]</a> It looks as if our ancient Aztecs had found a
+ mariner’s compass washed ashore and perpetuated it by thus carving
+ it with mythological significance.<a id="FNanchor_161" href="#Footnote_161" class="fnanchor">[161]</a> Stranger things than this
+ have occurred among Amerinds. But I prefer to believe that the Aztec
+ astronomer worked out the points of the compass for himself, for these
+ directions exist of course in every land independent of the compass,
+ and the moment the Amerind began to work in astronomy he was forced
+ to recognise the thirty-two natural directions that were open to him.
+ No doubt the Mayan and Mexican observatories were somewhat similar to
+ that of the Shah Jahan at Jeypore in India, where circular stones of
+ different sizes formed a part of the observing apparatus. The Mayan and
+ Mexican astronomical knowledge was probably equal to any extant in the
+ fourteenth century.</p>

+
+ <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_184">184</span></p>
+
+ <p>Another type of Mexican carving is seen in the statue of Teoyaomiqui,
+ the god of war and death, of which the two faces are different.
+ Bandelier believes this to be a statue of the war-god Huitzilopochtli.</p>
+
+ <p>Another remarkable statue given mention by Bandelier is the “Indio
+ Triste.” This is a squatting figure of an Amerind executed with more
+ simplicity than is usual with Amerind work in this region. Bandelier
+ considers it a torch-bearer, a supposition borne out by evidence he
+ advances, and also by the arrangement of the hands and arms, which
+ are brought out forward of the chest as if clasping something in the
+ empty space between the fingers. This statue is forty inches high and
+ two feet wide. A comparatively small number of Aztec sculptures have
+ been found. Almost all were destroyed or buried by the zeal of the
+ early priests. Under the City of Mexico and in other places there are
+ probably many lying intact, and some day they may come to the light.
+ “The art of sculpture in aboriginal Mexico,” says Bandelier, “while
+ considerably above that of the Northern Village-Indians, is still not
+ superior to the remarkable carvings on ivory and wood of the tribes of
+ the North-west Coast and often bears a marked resemblance to them.”<a id="FNanchor_162" href="#Footnote_162" class="fnanchor">[162]</a></p>
+
+ <p>Proceeding on southward, the next great group of carvings is that
+ ascribed to the Mayas, and extending, in a general way, from the
+ Isthmus of Tehuantepec to the borders of Honduras and somewhat beyond.
+ The people formerly occupying this area were extremely active in the
+ line of carving, and there are preserved to us tablets, figures in
+ bass-relief, statues, monoliths, and other stone- and wood-work that,
+ taken together, easily bring this people in the very front place among
+ Amerind artists. 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. While the
+ execution is remarkable it is nevertheless primitive, and similar to
+ other Amerind art in quality and conception. It is a high development
+ of Amerindian sculptural ideas. Another similar tablet exists in the
+ so-called “Temple of the Sun.” A cast of this was made by Charnay and a
+ photograph from this cast is given in figure on <a href="#i_185">page 185</a>.<a id="FNanchor_164" href="#Footnote_164" class="fnanchor">[164]</a></p>

+
+ <p>The stelæ at Copan are some of the most artistic and altogether
+ remarkable sculptures found on the continent. They are highly
+ decorative, and the execution of the intricate designs with the poor
+ stone tools at their command is extraordinary. But all the productions
+ of the Mayas pass easily beyond those of any other stock on this
+ continent. Some of the conventionalised animal heads used as gargoyles
+ are exceedingly well done and so also are several works called
+ “singing-girls” (see figures pages <a href="#i_019">19</a> and <a href="#i_079">79</a>). There are no geometric
+ patterns at Copan, and the designs and execution are of a high order,
+ yet at the same time thoroughly Amerindian. The rattlesnake enters into
+ many of the designs and is represented by itself frequently. It was
+ an animal of great importance to all Amerinds from the thirty-eighth
+ parallel down. Charnay gives an illustration of what he calls votive
+ stones, that are apparently the representation of the rattle of the
+ revered reptile. The segments are clearly indicated and altogether the
+ design seems to me unmistakable.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_189">189</span> The region of the South-west and
+ Mexico is also the richest in species of any part of America, no less
+ than “eight out of a total of seventeen species occurring at or near
+ the boundary between the United States and the Mexican Republic.” In
+ <span class="pagenum" id="Page_190">190</span>southern Arizona seven different species are found. “Their centre of

+ to represent the Mayan war and rain gods.<a id="FNanchor_166" href="#Footnote_166" class="fnanchor">[166]</a> These figures are in low
+ relief, covered with the customary Amerind trappings and head-dresses
+ of this region. On each tablet there are some calculiform characters.
+ Many of the ruined buildings still exhibit a wealth of ornamentation
+ either carved in stone, modelled in stucco, or constructed out of
+ rubble and stucco. Some of the carvings, notably certain heads at
+ Uxmal, have formed the basis for much discussion. The latter were
+ supposed by Waldeck to be representations of elephants’ trunks, but
+ there is no foundation for this supposition. They more likely represent
+ ceremonial masks with long noses. Something similar, though lacking
+ the curve, is seen in some of the remarkable funeral urns found in the
+ Zapotecan tombs.</p>
+
+ <p>The statue of Chac-Mool, found at Chichen Itza by Le Plongeon, is
+ an example of what was accomplished when the figure was attempted
+ without any of the accessories of masks, draperies, etc.<a id="FNanchor_167" href="#Footnote_167" class="fnanchor">[167]</a> It is
+ a large reclining figure, crude and primitive. Some of the work at
+ other places is more symmetrical, as, for instance, the Lacandon idol
+ described by Charnay. “This idol is very beautiful and unique of its
+ kind, for nothing like it has been found either in Tabasco or Yucatan.
+ It represents a figure sitting cross-legged, the hands resting on the
+ knees ... the face now mutilated is crowned by an enormous head-dress
+ of a peculiar style, presenting a fantastic head with a diadem and
+ medallions, topped by huge feathers, like those on the columns at Tula
+ and Chichen-Itza.”<a id="FNanchor_168" href="#Footnote_168" class="fnanchor">[168]</a> This idol was found at Menché, where there is
+ a lot of excellent work in the line of carving, some of the wooden
+ lintels being particularly interesting. It is impossible in a brief
+ <span class="pagenum" id="Page_191">191</span>chapter to convey more than a slight impression of all this elaborate
+ carving. The reader who desires to obtain a full comprehension of the
+ work should study Maudsley’s text and illustrations in the <cite>Biologia
+ Centrali Americana</cite>.</p>
+
+ <p>Where modelling was accomplished by the building-up process with stones
+ and mortar the results were sometimes gigantic. Stephens found an
+ enormous head made in this way at Izamal at the base of the palace of
+ Hunpictok. He described it as being seven feet eight inches high. “The
+ features,” he says, “were first rudely formed by small rough stones,
+ fixed in the side of the mound by means of mortar, and afterwards
+ perfected with stucco so hard that it has resisted the action of air
+ and water for centuries.” The stone composing the chin alone measures
+ one foot and six inches. The face had an extremely large mustache. This
+ singular specimen of the Yucatan Amerinds’ modelling skill has, since
+ the visit of Stephens, completely disappeared. At the same place is
+ another, however, still intact.</p>

+ <figcaption>LARGE BUILT-UP HEAD AT IZAMAL</figcaption>

+
+ <p>This one is thirteen feet high and is constructed in the same manner as
+ the one that is gone.</p>
+
+ <p>Everywhere throughout Yucatan and the contiguous region the
+ architecture is overloaded with ornamentation which many large volumes
+ would barely be sufficient to describe. In Nicaragua, as well as in
+ Honduras, there are found many carvings and sculptures, statues, stelæ,
+ etc., but they are rarely equal to those found in the Maya ruins. It
+ must be said, however, that the examination of these states has been
+ even less thorough than that of the Maya region. Tribes of Nahuatl
+ stock built and laboured in the country below the Maya, and in Costa
+ Rica there are indications that the remains belong to Amerinds who
+ differed from both Maya and Nahuatl.</p>
+
+ <p>Some of the supposed metates or mealing stones found in Nicaragua are
+ carved with legs and artistically decorated. One <span class="pagenum" id="Page_192">192</span>figured by Squier is
+ a particularly beautiful specimen. It is a thin curved slab, concave
+ side up, and has four legs. One end projects considerably beyond the
+ legs, apparently forming the head or end where the operator sat or
+ kneeled, and is carved in a wide band all the way across. In Chiriqui
+ there are similar stones. Another class of carved remains found in
+ Chiriqui is apparently a sort of metate, but it differs from the latter
+ in being round, and Holmes designates them as stools, for want of a
+ more exact term.<a id="FNanchor_169" href="#Footnote_169" class="fnanchor">[169]</a> Some wooden stools have recently been obtained in
+ Central America which are so nearly like the affair described by Squier
+ as a metate, that it is probable the latter was also a stool. The
+ figure on <a href="#Page_188">page 188</a> illustrates this class. They have a depressed upper
+ surface and are carved basalt in one piece. An example of the round is
+ given above. To carve an object like this from solid basalt must have
+ been a work of great duration. It is in their metal- and claywork,
+ however, that the Chiriqui Amerinds specially excelled.</p>

+ <span class="pagenum" id="Page_193">193</span>
+ different stages of development. Nowhere do we find a touch of
+ idealism, which is such a marked characteristic of the work of the

+
+ <p class="drop-cap">THE Amerind of North America has generally been considered a shiftless
+ and indolent being, but the preceding pages have shown, I think, that
+ this estimate is an error, and the following chapters, together with
+ the present one, will even more conclusively demolish that false
+ assumption. 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>

+
+ <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. It is said the
+ chimpanzee makes a rude hut of boughs and branches, but even that could
+ scarcely be less simple than the Arizona wikiup. This is composed
+ merely of several branches arranged in a semi-circle, or rather more
+ than a semi-circle, eight or ten feet in height, their tops together,
+ and covered with boughs of cedar or pine or any other convenient
+ brush. About one third of the circumference is open to the south, and
+ opposite this side the fire is built a few feet away. The Pai Ute is
+ surrounded by remains of excellent stone dwellings constructed long ago
+ by Amerinds who are believed to be of the same general stock, but he
+ has never tried to improve his wikiup of his own accord. The Utes, his
+ kindred on the north, live in good tipis, but the Pai Ute appears never
+ to have noticed the fact. The Mokis, also allied to him, live not far
+ to southward in excellent houses, yet he has never attempted to emulate
+ them.</p>

+ <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>

+
+ <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>

+
+ <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. The Mohaves live in low huts of branches covered
+ with mud.</p>
+
+ <p>The communal principle of living pervaded America and largely
+ determined the size and character of the dwellings. 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>

+
+ <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. They were built like the common tipi.</p>

+
+ <p>The wigwam of the Algonquins was built in two general ways, using bark
+ or mats for covering. 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. A sacred house would be likely to be so placed, if not
+ others.</p>

+
+ <p>Every tribe had some kind of a sacred structure, the Omahas carrying
+ from place to place the three sacred tents referred to. The sacred
+ structures, too, were generally of the same style as the house of the
+ chief. Each village of the Natchez had a house devoted to the dead,
+ besides others dedicated to different sacred objects. The death-house
+ was oval, “having a circumference of one hundred feet—a simple hut
+ without a window, and with a low and narrow opening on the side for
+ the only door.”<a id="FNanchor_185" href="#Footnote_185" class="fnanchor">[185]</a> Here were “garnered the choicest fetiches of the
+ tribe, of which some were moulded from clay and baked in the sun.
+ There, too, were gathered the bones of the dead; there an undying fire
+ was kept burning by appointed guardians as if to warm and light and
+ cheer the departed.”<a href="#Footnote_185" class="fnanchor">[185]</a> “Hard by the temple, on an artificial mound
+ of earth, stood the hut of the Great Sun; around it were grouped the
+ cabins of the tribe.”<a href="#Footnote_185" class="fnanchor">[185]</a></p>
+
+ <p>It seems unnecessary to give any further space to show that the mounds
+ that have aroused so much discussion and romantic writing were, many of
+ them, the foundations for various structures reared by Amerinds as we
+ know them.</p>
+
+ <p>Morgan advanced a theory that the hollow square earthworks were the
+ foundations for long buildings, at one and the same time dwellings
+ and a part of the defences, the interior area being used for a work
+ place, children’s playground, etc. Many Algonquin houses were made
+ of a parallelogram shape, with straight sides about eight feet high
+ and a rounded roof. 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. The Lenapé “constructed small
+ wattled huts with rounded tops thatched with the leaves of the Indian
+ corn or with sweetflags.... In summer light brush tents took the place
+ of these.”<a id="FNanchor_187" href="#Footnote_187" class="fnanchor">[187]</a></p>

+
+ <p>On the North-west coast the native houses are usually built of cedar
+ slabs. These slabs are split out of the wide trees<a id="FNanchor_188" href="#Footnote_188" class="fnanchor">[188]</a> and the walls
+ are obtained by securing them in an upright position to a frame about
+ ten feet high. On this rests the roof of split shakes, bark, or boards,

+ by four huge posts, often <span class="pagenum" id="Page_213">213</span>carved with totemic emblems. The general

+ one or two sides or all the way round about six feet wide and two feet
+ high. This is divided by thin partitions into small compartments,
+ which are covered about six feet above the floor with a ceiling of
+ thin boards. A curtain in front makes a room of it. These houses vary
+ somewhat in the different localities, but the type is about the same
+ from the Puget Sound region to Yakutat Bay. Some of the Sound Amerinds
+ give but one pitch to the roof. Many of the natives now build a house
+ of sawed materials and roof it with shingles so that their modern
+ villages, like the one at Sitka, present outwardly few Amerind signs,
+ as they usually have chimneys, too, instead of smoke holes. Where
+ they have the latter, boards are stuck up above the ridge to form a
+ windbreak, or a more perfect arrangement for preventing back draught is
+ applied in the shape of a large solid shutter so pivoted in the middle
+ line that it can be tilted from one side of the ridge to the other.
+ Among some tribes there are several smoke holes with adjustable boards
+ that can be worked from below with a pole. The entire front gable of
+ a chief’s house or an assembly house is often ornamented with a huge
+ totemic design, painted on smooth boards that fill the whole space.
+ In front of the house stood the tall pole bearing the totems of the
+ inmates carved, one above another, with a full relief totem adorning
+ the top. Small houses were built to hold the boxes containing the ashes
+ of the dead, and the roof was sometimes surmounted with a totem carved
+ in wood, or the totem was erected on a small pole nearby, or placed
+ under the roof.</p>

+ with many Amerinds of the interior, where trees were absent or hard to
+ split and where skins were plenty.</p>

+ </div>
+
+ <p>In California a variety of houses was built, as there are many
+ different stocks and conditions. The Yokuts made them of tule mats in
+ the shape of an “A” tent with a door at the front. A half dozen or more
+ of these were placed in a row and above them a flat sun-shelter of
+ branches laid on a platform of poles supported by crotched posts set in
+ the ground. Others build a hut of slabs or bark brought to a point and
+ open on one side, like a tipi cut in two. Others again live in wikiups
+ made by covering a square framework with boughs, leaving one side open.
+ When the side of an Amerind hut is left open in this way, the opening
+ always faces the south, except in hot weather, when it generally faces
+ the other way. Another California tribe lives in earth lodges entered
+ from the top through a hole or hatch with steps on the outside. This
+ lodge was made by excavating a couple of feet and putting this earth
+ on the covering framework, for a roof. In the mountains where wood was
+ plenty they frequently used no earth at all, showing how quickly they
+ adapted themselves to circumstances. The Modoc “excavates a circular
+ space from two to four feet deep, then erects over it a rounded
+ structure of poles and puncheons, strongly braced up with timbers,
+ sometimes hewn and squared. The whole is warmly covered with earth, and
+ an aperture left atop, reached by a centre pole. Before the coming of
+ the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_216">216</span>whites secured them against the constant assaults and incursions
+ of their enemies, their dwellings were slighter, consisting generally
+ of a frame of willow poles, with tule matting overspread.”<a id="FNanchor_190" href="#Footnote_190" class="fnanchor">[190]</a> Another
+ tribe of the Pacific Slope, the Makhelchel, build cabins “of slender
+ willow poles set upright in the ground, with others crossing them
+ horizontally, forming a square lattice-work.”<a id="FNanchor_191" href="#Footnote_191" class="fnanchor">[191]</a> The Yokaya have a
+ lodge or dwelling composed of a “huge framework of willow poles covered
+ with thatch, and resembling a large flattish haystack.” The Karok
+ “excavate a round cellar, four or five feet deep and twelve or fifteen
+ feet in diameter. Over this they build a square cabin of split poles
+ or puncheons, planted erect in the ground and covered with a flattish
+ puncheon roof. They eat and sleep in the cellar ... and store their
+ supplies on the bank above next to the walls of the cabin.”<a id="FNanchor_192" href="#Footnote_192" class="fnanchor">[192]</a> The
+ Maidu make a hut of slabs placed together in something the shape of a
+ tipi, with a low, square projection for an entrance.</p>
+
+ <p>Passing northward to the Aleuts, we find “houses built with the floor
+ somewhat below the level of the outside soil, the walls of whale-ribs,
+ sticks of wood, or upright stone walls, covered outside with mats,
+ straw and finally turf.... The roof was formed by arching whale-ribs,
+ or long sticks of driftwood, matted, thatched, and turfed like the
+ sides, with a central aperture. A platform, somewhat raised, around
+ the sides of the house afforded a place for sitting and sleeping.
+ Later each village had a large house or <i>kashim</i>, which served
+ as a common work-shop, and a lodging for strangers, as well as for a
+ town-hall for their discussions and festivals.... Still later, in a
+ period not greatly antedating the historic, the Aleuts began to build
+ large communistic dwellings with features peculiar to themselves,
+ without doors, and entered by the hole in the roof, the inmates
+ descending on a notched log placed upright. These large yourts were
+ divided, by partitions of wood, stone, or matting, into small rooms
+ like the state-rooms of a steamer, but without doors; open toward the
+ center of the yourt, and each accommodating one family.”<a id="FNanchor_193" href="#Footnote_193" class="fnanchor">[193]</a></p>
+
+ <p>It will be noted that we have again changed materials of construction;
+ and why? Because the Aleutian Islands are devoid of timber, devoid of
+ good building stone that an Amerind could get <span class="pagenum" id="Page_217">217</span>at, and he resorted
+ therefore to what there was—driftwood, whale-ribs, turf, etc.<a id="FNanchor_194" href="#Footnote_194" class="fnanchor">[194]</a>
+ The house called by the Russians <em>barabára</em> seems to have been
+ originally made of turf even to the roof, and I saw examples in the
+ summer of 1899 at Unalaska and on St. Paul Island. The turf or sod was
+ cut into slabs and laid up like stones.</p>

+
+ <p>Continuing northward we reach the vast treeless arctic regions, where
+ cold is the great enemy, and the reader wonders what man can do here in
+ the way of architecture. 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>

+
+ <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. These from the outside look like mounds of earth, and as
+ soon as warm weather comes are nothing but wet cellars, which the
+ inhabitants quickly abandon for the time, erecting with their walrus
+ and seal skins a summer tent, called a <i>tupek</i> or <i>topek</i>.
+ The Point Barrow tupek is something like a tipi, without a smoke hole,
+ as the fire is built outside when they can secure wood to build one.
+ All the Alaska Innuit now use canvas tents of the “wall” pattern, when
+ they can procure them.</p>
+
+ <p>The Amerind of the interior of the northland, where timber grows,
+ utilises it and the skins of the animals he kills. The Nenenot about
+ Hudson Bay occupy, all the year round, a tent almost identical with the
+ Dakota tipi.</p>

+ <p>No construction on the continent shows more skill than the Innuit

+
+ <p>As the polar regions developed the snow-house; forest regions, bark
+ and mat houses; barren plains, portable tents; so arid regions, where
+ disintegrating cliffs furnished an abundance of flat slabs of stone,
+ evolved stone houses, and broad dry valleys or <span class="pagenum" id="Page_220">220</span>plains lacking cliffs,
+ timber, or large game, but yielding good clay soil, produced houses
+ of mud or adobe; or, according to conditions, such combinations of
+ these materials as were easiest and most practicable. It is next in
+ order to review the houses of the arid regions constructed of stone,
+ adobe, jacal, cajon, pisé,<a id="FNanchor_195" href="#Footnote_195" class="fnanchor">[195]</a> etc., and the cavate lodges. To do
+ full justice to the subject of houses would require a separate volume,
+ but enough may be given here to present a general view. The occupied
+ villages of the South-western United States are similar to the ruins
+ found throughout that region, and the cliff-dwellings, which some
+ writers would clothe with mystery, as has been mentioned, were no more
+ mysterious than the occupied dwellings of the Moki; or any other Pueblo
+ village, which, fortunately, remains inhabited by the builders.<a id="FNanchor_196" href="#Footnote_196" class="fnanchor">[196]</a>
+ The cliff-dwellings were constructed in cliffs simply because it was
+ expedient to build them there and not because the builders were a race
+ apart from other Amerinds. The canyons where the cliff-dwellings occur
+ have bottom lands that are fertile and easily irrigated, both by stream
+ water, and after the Pueblo fashion, by guiding shower waters with hoes
+ amongst the corn. This in itself was a sufficient object for building
+ in the canyons, and the huge, natural conchoidal <span class="pagenum" id="Page_222">222</span>alcoves that occur
+ in the faces of the prevailing formation were attractive places to
+ build in for several reasons, one of which may have been protection
+ from assault and the weather, and another the frequent presence of
+ springs at the back of these cavities. These springs have almost
+ vanished, in many cases have entirely disappeared, owing to slightly
+ drier conditions now prevailing. But I have frequently noticed at the
+ back part of many of the cavities that had no ruins, or few ruins, to
+ cover it up, a moisture that might at times increase to a dripping, or
+ even flowing, that would furnish enough water for the daily supply of
+ a considerable Amerind village. The construction is the same as other
+ Pueblo houses of stone.</p>

+ <p>The inhabited pueblos, like the ruins, usually consist of a number of
+ rooms built adjoining or on top of each other, like a lot of square
+ boxes placed in rows or in a pyramidal pile, or like a series of steps,
+ with the total height at the back often straight <span class="pagenum" id="Page_224">224</span>down. One or two
+ single-room houses are first built, and then additions are made from
+ time to time till the pile grows to a considerable height; three or
+ four stories.<a id="FNanchor_197" href="#Footnote_197" class="fnanchor">[197]</a> Groups of these groups built near each other form
+ courts between. The lower tier of <span class="pagenum" id="Page_226">226</span>rooms, in olden times, was not
+ entered from the ground, but from the roof through a hatchway, a ladder
+ leading up on the outside and down on the inside. The upper rooms, or
+ houses, were entered from the roofs of the lower ones; that is, the
+ roofs of the lower rooms formed the floors of the upper ones, and also
+ balconies in front of the rooms. I occupied for a time one of these
+ upper rooms in Tewa, on the “East Mesa” at the Moki towns, and I found
+ the roof in front of my door a delightful place, commanding a view of
+ the whole mesa and a hundred miles beyond. I could also reach the top
+ of my house easily, by a sort of stairway formed on the edge of the
+ prolonged wall that separated me from my neighbour, and as this was the
+ summit of the village my view was superb. Such stairways are common in
+ all the villages. The ladders by which the various roofs are reached
+ are now much like our own, but rudely made, and the upper ends are
+ often very long, extending in many cases far above the house-top. The
+ walls, about a foot thick, are of stone slabs laid in adobe mortar,
+ and are generally built up by the women, who take their own time to
+ the work, adding a few stones whenever they feel like it. Beams of
+ small tree-trunks, six to eight inches in diameter, form the basis of
+ the flat roof.<a id="FNanchor_198" href="#Footnote_198" class="fnanchor">[198]</a> They are laid across the top of the walls and the
+ ends, if too long, usually allowed to project beyond. These are covered
+ with smaller poles laid about a foot apart, and on these are spread
+ slender willows or reeds, with a layer of grass or twigs next, on which
+ a layer of adobe mortar is laid and earth trodden down on top till it
+ is firm, when a finish is made with another coat of adobe mortar. A
+ slight pitch is given to the roof. No plumb-line, level, or square was
+ used by the Amerinds anywhere on the continent so far as is now known.
+ Sometimes the floors are paved with irregular flat sandstone slabs, but
+ in most houses the floor is formed by a coat of adobe mortar which is
+ patched and renewed as needed. Moccasined feet are not hard on such a
+ surface, but my heavy soled shoes were the despair of the owner of my
+ habitation. The hand is used as a trowel. The chimney is usually at one
+ corner, and did not exist in America previous to the sixteenth century.
+ A hood is built down from the roof to within about three or four feet
+ of the floor, to catch <span class="pagenum" id="Page_228">228</span>the smoke, and outside the chimney is built
+ up about three feet, sometimes with stones, but more frequently with
+ large earthen pots with the bottoms knocked out. The hood is formed
+ of sticks plastered with adobe mortar. Doorways were formerly of the
+ notched variety<a id="FNanchor_199" href="#Footnote_199" class="fnanchor">[199]</a> closed by a curtain, and the hatchways were closed
+ by a mat of reeds. In later times the doorways have become like our
+ own, and doors, too, have been made out of sawed boards. My door at
+ Tewa was hung on hinges and had a latch and string. Glazed windows have
+ also been adopted in many houses. The Rio Grande pueblos are built
+ of adobe bricks, and so, largely, is Zuñi, but there is little adobe
+ in the Moki towns, except in the form of plaster and mortar. The Rio
+ Grande pueblos were largely constructed of adobe when first visited in
+ 1540. The Pueblo Amerind frequently abandoned his village for one cause
+ or another and built a new one elsewhere, so while his village may be
+ called a permanent one it was not much more so than villages of the
+ Algonquins and Iroquois.</p>

+
+ <p>Besides houses, some of the Amerinds of the South-west dwelt in
+ shelters excavated wholly or in part in the face of a cliff or
+ mountain, or hill. There are four localities where these cavate lodges
+ occur in numbers, the northern Rio Grande valley, the San Juan River
+ valley, the San Francisco mountain region, and the Rio Verde valley
+ in Arizona. 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. Poles or willows laid across the ridges
+ with skins on them would have made a flooring. 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. They were first
+ mentioned by Gregg, in 1844.<a id="FNanchor_203" href="#Footnote_203" class="fnanchor">[203]</a></p>

+ <figcaption>RUIN CALLED CASA GRANDE, ARIZONA</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>Adobe brick and adobe clay in various forms were largely employed by
+ the South-western and Mexican Amerinds, and there are evidences that
+ some tribes in the Mississippi valley also used it. 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>

+ <p>In southern Mexico they erected extensive cities or pueblos because
+ there they were more crowded together than anywhere to the northward,
+ but these cities were essentially the same as the more simple towns in
+ the northern country. At Tlascala “the houses were built, for the most
+ part, of mud or earth; the better sort of stone and lime, or bricks
+ dried in the sun. They were unprovided with doors or windows, but in
+ the apertures for the former hung mats fringed with pieces of copper,
+ or something which by its tinkling sound would give notice of anyone’s
+ entrance. The streets were narrow and dark.”<a id="FNanchor_208" href="#Footnote_208" class="fnanchor">[208]</a> This extract from
+ Prescott might picture a New Mexican pueblo instead of one of the towns
+ encountered by Cortez which have been often so romantically described.
+ The copper on the mats was probably more for Amerind ornament than
+ for the purpose stated by Prescott. While in some respects the Aztec
+ towns may have been more elaborate than the New Mexican towns, there
+ was probably not much difference in their method of construction. “The
+ principal buildings and temples of the city were covered with a hard
+ white stucco which glistened like enamel in the ... morning sun.”<a id="FNanchor_209" href="#Footnote_209" class="fnanchor">[209]</a>
+ This was perhaps a wash of gypsiferous clay similar to that used by the
+ Mokis, or it may have been similar to the zahcab of the Mayas, which
+ was a singular and abundant white earth used by them as a stucco. It
+ was found in pockets.</p>

+ <p>“The dwellings of the common people were also placed on foundations

+ succeeded by courses of unbaked bricks, crossed occasionally by wooden
+ rafters.”<a id="FNanchor_210" href="#Footnote_210" class="fnanchor">[210]</a> These rafters were the projecting ends of the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_240">240</span>poles,
+ as in the Pueblo country. The adobe houses in Mexico are now often
+ built on stone foundations, for it is the foundation that is sapped
+ and undermined by the rains. The upper walls of adobe stand well in a
+ climate of that sort. Prescott says of the houses of the “dignitaries”
+ and of the “principal nobles” that “They were low, indeed; seldom of

+ Aztecs were crowded around the lake of Mexico, and also built out
+ over the water on piles. Houses raised above the water or ground were
+ nothing unusual in America. Some of the North-west coast Amerinds
+ built dwellings which were “raised and supported near thirty feet from
+ the ground by perpendicular spars of very large size” with “access
+ formed by a long tree in an inclined position from the platform to the
+ ground, with notches cut in it by way of steps about a foot and a half

+ <p>The greatest group of architectural remains on this continent is that
+ of the Maya region, mainly in Yucatan. 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. See note 2, <a href="#Page_184">page 184</a>. This is on top of a high
+ mound, and is fifty feet front, thirty-one feet deep, and about forty
+ feet high. 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. See illustrations, pages <a href="#i_210">210</a> and <a href="#i_235">235</a>.
+ There was abundant stucco ornamentation over the exterior, and on each
+ side of the entrance was one of the figures referred to in the last
+ chapter.</p>

+ <p>The mortar used is said to have been a cement made of one part slaked

+ and is used still in that country. It is, however, doubtful if slaked

+ the Mexican State of Oaxaca. 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. Bandelier
+ thinks that some of the stone walls in New Mexico are quite as well
+ constructed as some in Mexico proper. But however this may be, there
+ is nothing north of the City of Mexico that compares in architectural
+ excellence with the Yucatan structures, albeit in some respects there
+ is a strong resemblance between the latter in plan and conception, and
+ the Pecos and other northern ruins.</p>
+
+ <p>The communal principle of living had much to do almost everywhere with
+ the size and character of the Amerind houses. Situation was determined
+ by expedience and necessity; material of construction by environment.
+ Throughout the continent the Amerind was a village dweller, and except
+ in the Far North and on the northern Californian and North-west
+ coasts he was generally a tiller of the soil, growing, often in large
+ quantities, maize, beans, squashes, cotton, and some other products
+ according to locality. His large communal buildings were in part
+ fortresses to protect the families against marauding Amerinds of a less
+ prosperous and cultivated type, and against the occupants of other
+ towns, for in general it may be said that there was little political
+ cohesion in the various tribes, though the Aztecs and Iroquois are
+ examples of exceptions that arose from time to time.</p>
+
+ <p>There is nothing in any of the remains, so far developed, that
+ indicates foreign influence, prior to the Discovery. Every
+ architectural work on the continent is purely Amerindian or modified by
+ contact with other races subsequent to 1492.</p>

+
+ <p class="drop-cap">THE Amerinds were practically all in the so-called Stone Age of
+ culture; that is, they were unacquainted with the <em>common use</em>
+ of metals. Some tribes worked silver, gold, and copper, to a limited
+ extent and in an ornamental way, and a high authority asserts that the
+ Eskimo have known iron for nine hundred years. Those Eskimo who came
+ in contact with the Northmen on the North-east coasts very likely saw
+ specimens of manufactured iron, and possessed some, nearly a thousand
+ years ago, but it was a bare acquaintance, and this and the limited
+ working of the other metals do not affect the general statement that
+ the Amerinds were practically a Stone-Age people. Even the Maya, with
+ all their varied skill and knowledge superior to any other Amerinds,
+ still used stone tools for carving in stone. They had no way of
+ sufficiently hardening the metals they could secure and their stone
+ <span class="pagenum" id="Page_249">249</span>tools were far more serviceable. So the tools, weapons, and implements
+ throughout the continent were chiefly wood, bone, and stone, with a
+ few exceptions in Mexico, Central America, and the Mississippi valley.
+ In the last region there was some working of copper obtained from the
+ rich deposits of native metal in northern Michigan,<a id="FNanchor_218" href="#Footnote_218" class="fnanchor">[218]</a> but the main
+ thing they could do with it was to beat and grind it into shape with
+ stones. Arrow-heads, spear-heads, chisels, and knife-blades of copper
+ have been found in the Mississippi and Atlantic regions, but there
+ is no certainty that all of them were made by the Amerinds.<a id="FNanchor_219" href="#Footnote_219" class="fnanchor">[219]</a> The
+ Spaniards and other Europeans were speedily engaged in a considerable
+ traffic with the Amerinds in which copper was an important medium
+ of exchange. Large quantities were therefore early brought into the
+ country from Europe, and we do not always know in what form. It is
+ certain that the traders would try to give it the most attractive
+ shape, and if arrow-heads were found to be good, it would not take long
+ to manufacture them. This is not to say that the Amerind could not have
+ made the implements or copper articles thus far found, but only to
+ question whether he did make all of them.</p>

+ <figcaption>FORMS OF THE BOW</figcaption>

+
+ <p>The chief weapon of all Amerinds was the bow and arrow.<a id="FNanchor_220" href="#Footnote_220" class="fnanchor">[220]</a> The bow
+ was made in a number of ways and of various kinds of wood, and of horn,
+ reinforced as a rule by a backing of sinew. The arrow-shaft was most
+ frequently of service-berry wood when it could be had, and also of reed
+ with a tip of some solid wood. The heads were of chipped stone, or
+ bone, or latterly of bottle-glass,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_250">250</span> or often, for small-bird shooting,
+ without any head whatever. A few heads were of copper, and in modern
+ times hoop iron is used. Amongst all the Amerind bows that I have ever
+ seen, one made from the horns of a mountain sheep, with a portion of
+ the skull as the central part, was the finest and most graceful. It was
+ exactly the shape of the typical bow wielded by the little god Cupid,
+ and I have always regretted that I did not purchase it at the time, for
+ I have never seen one since. I saw it in southern Utah in 1875.<a id="FNanchor_221" href="#Footnote_221" class="fnanchor">[221]</a></p>
+
+ <p>I have sometimes thought that the bow and arrow were a development from
+ the primitive fire-drill, through the bow-drill and spear. Some day by
+ accident or design perhaps the drill stick sprung from the tightened
+ string, the idea of substituting the spear for the drill stick was
+ suggested, and the greatest invention in its effect on humanity man has

+
+ <p>There are three or four forms of fire-drill, but the palm-drill—that
+ is, the kind that was rotated between the palms of the hands—was the
+ earliest, most widespread, and most compact and portable of all. It
+ consisted of a shaft of wood, or reed with a piece of some harder
+ wood attached to it; or, where the hard wood was not long enough, it
+ was spliced on to another piece of wood. The illustration above shows
+ a drill and hearth I obtained from the Pai Utes of Arizona in 1875.
+ These Amerinds were using such <span class="pagenum" id="Page_252">252</span>drills for fire-making at that lime.
+ The other portion of the apparatus, the hearth, is made of cedar, or
+ any soft and suitable wood. It has cavities cut into it to receive the
+ rounded, blunt end of the shaft, and on the sides of these cavities a
+ little notch is cut to allow the air to get at the superheated wood
+ dust and to permit the dust to be quickly thrust into the tinder which
+ is placed beside and beneath the hearth. 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. All
+ the materials are kept very dry, and an expert will secure a fire in
+ a few seconds under favourable conditions.<a id="FNanchor_222" href="#Footnote_222" class="fnanchor">[222]</a> This was the common
+ form of fire-drill throughout the continent. The “<em>new-fire</em>” of
+ the Aztecs,<a id="FNanchor_223" href="#Footnote_223" class="fnanchor">[223]</a> produced at the termination of their fifty-two-year
+ cycle, when all fires were permitted to die out, was obtained with a
+ fire-drill similar to the one described. Even when a tribe had better
+ means of obtaining fire, it would preserve the primitive method in its
+ religious ceremonies. Before the invention of the fire-drill it was of
+ the greatest importance to guard and preserve the fire that had perhaps
+ been procured from a great distance or from some forest conflagration
+ which had passed away. Hence it assumed a sacred character, and those
+ who were entrusted with its preservation were high priests. Eternal
+ fires, or undying fires, were the result at first of the necessity of
+ preserving fire, and later, when the friction-drill was discovered,
+ those who possessed the knowledge of it were correspondingly endowed
+ with power over the remainder.</p>

+
+ <p>After the palm-drill comes the string-drill, wherein the drill is
+ <span class="pagenum" id="Page_254">254</span>operated by means of a cord twisted about it, the ends being pulled
+ back and forth, and the top of the stick being held firm by insertion
+ in a socket, the latter being grasped in one hand or, when there was
+ only one operator, taken in the mouth. 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. This
+ is the form used by the Pueblos for stone drilling, etc.<a id="FNanchor_224" href="#Footnote_224" class="fnanchor">[224]</a> The
+ fire-drill entered into the religious ceremonies of most tribes, and,
+ conventionalised in the so-called cross of the Palenque tablet, which
+ is a development, according to Bandelier, of the fire-drill through
+ ornamentation, it puzzled the Europeans, causing them for a time to
+ imagine that Christianity had preceded Columbus to the New World.</p>

+
+ <p>To return to the bow again, the length of it varies in different
+ localities. 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. It is little used by the interior tribes, but in the
+ form of the harpoon, as well as the regular spear form, is common among
+ the Eskimo and other coast Amerinds.<a id="FNanchor_227" href="#Footnote_227" class="fnanchor">[227]</a></p>

+ <p>The body armour was made of rows of overlapping plates, lashed
+ together, of slats, of rods, of skins, and of cotton padded. The plate
+ armour is the one that was borrowed from Asia; a migration apparently
+ across Bering Strait. The cotton-padded armour was confined to the
+ Amerinds of Mexico and Central America, but the other varieties were
+ distributed over the whole <span class="pagenum" id="Page_260">260</span>area. 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 Iroquois are also
+ reported to have used armour of rods both on their limbs and their
+ vital parts. 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. Across the body was a sash made of
+ feathers that passed from the right shoulder to the left side of the
+ waist.”<a id="FNanchor_230" href="#Footnote_230" class="fnanchor">[230]</a> Many Amerinds also wore in conjunction with the various
+ kinds of armour, a helmet, ranging from the feathered war-bonnet to
+ a heavy mask-helmet of wood. The Tarascos of Mexico, according to
+ Brinton, specially excelled in defensive armour, which “consisted of
+ helmet, body pieces, and greaves for the legs and arms, all of wood
+ covered neatly <span class="pagenum" id="Page_262">262</span>with copper or gold plates, so well done that the
+ pieces looked as if they were of solid metal.”<a id="FNanchor_231" href="#Footnote_231" class="fnanchor">[231]</a> The Mayas wore
+ cotton armour similar to that of the Mexicans, and bore a shield also.
+ Breastplates of copper have been found in the Atlantic region, and many
+ of the Amerinds there used body armour of wood, skins, and bark.</p>

+ <p>Another kind of defensive armour, though its qualities were purely

+ the Dakota. This shirt came into notice during the “Ghost Dance”<a id="FNanchor_232" href="#Footnote_232" class="fnanchor">[232]</a>
+ excitement that began about 1890 and lasted for six or eight years.
+ It was worn by all men, women, and children who accepted the “Ghost”
+ doctrine, either as an outside or under garment, and it was implicitly
+ believed that no bullet or other weapon could penetrate its sacred
+ material.<a id="FNanchor_233" href="#Footnote_233" class="fnanchor">[233]</a> As already remarked in another chapter, the Amerinds
+ in modern times, of at least the United States region, usually went
+ into battle naked. The only defensive armour was, as Mooney records,
+ “his protecting medicine,” which consisted of “a feather, a tiny bag
+ of some sacred powder, the claw of an animal, the head of a bird, or
+ some other small object, which could be readily twisted into his hair
+ or hidden between the covers of his shield.... Its virtue depended
+ entirely on the ceremony of the consecration, and not on size or
+ texture. The war-paint had the same magic power of protection.... The
+ so-called ‘war-shirt’ was worn chiefly in ceremonial dress parades and
+ only rarely on the warpath.”<a id="FNanchor_234" href="#Footnote_234" class="fnanchor">[234]</a> Just when the armour which protected
+ by its intrinsic strength was abandoned for the protection of the
+ “medicine” is not, so far as I am aware, at present known. At one time,
+ it seems quite certain, the material protection of armour was almost
+ universal over the whole of North America, while in our latter day no
+ one ever saw an Amerind fight with armour on. The idea of going into
+ battle nude was that the warrior’s movements were unincumbered, while
+ his “medicine” afforded him ample protection. A Navajo who <span class="pagenum" id="Page_263">263</span>posed for
+ me for a picture in Arizona described the Navajo manner of going to
+ battle, but never mentioned armour, or any kind of protection. He said
+ they always went naked, with even their hair untied from its customary
+ knot and falling loose on the shoulders.</p>

+ <p>Stone arrow- and spear-heads are found in all parts of the continent,
+ but they are almost always chipped, seldom ground. Maguire, who has
+ made a special study of this subject, declares chipping to be one of
+ the most difficult of arts. “On examination,” he says, “it is found
+ that every rock has been worked in the best and most economical method
+ which its texture admits.” The usual way of making arrow-heads was to
+ place the bit of stone previously flaked from a nodule or fragment and
+ brought near the shape by percussion, on the palm of the left hand,
+ which is protected by a glove or a piece of buckskin, and hold it there
+ by the fingers of that hand while the right brings a down pressure to
+ bear on the edges by the point of a slender piece of horn or bone. The
+ chips spring off and the operation is continued till the desired shape
+ is attained. I tried this method once on a flake of chalcedony I had
+ picked up, and had no difficulty in bringing it to an arrow-head shape.
+ Maguire has made a great many successfully. Chisels, axes, and mauls
+ were made the same way or were ground into shape, a groove being made
+ in the axes across the sides to receive a split stick that was bound
+ on for a handle. It is almost unnecessary to say, perhaps, that there
+ never could have been a time when all tribes were equally proficient
+ in the art of stone working, some being skilful when others could make
+ nothing.<a id="FNanchor_235" href="#Footnote_235" class="fnanchor">[235]</a></p>
+
+ <p>In this country we know so well the origin of the stone implements
+ found in the fields that we smile when we read of people in Europe
+ treating them as charms and talismans. “When <span class="pagenum" id="Page_264">264</span>kept in a house they
+ protect it from lightning; the water in which a celt has been boiled
+ is a remedy against rheumatism; and sick cattle are cured by drinking
+ water in which a celt has been placed.” The Amerinds frequently treat
+ them as medicine.<a id="FNanchor_236" href="#Footnote_236" class="fnanchor">[236]</a></p>
+
+ <p>Some tools were produced in the rough at various sites, or workshops,
+ located at the quarries. Those in Ohio described by Moorehead are
+ probably the most extensive in North America, except the obsidian
+ mines of Hidalgo, Mexico. “The magnitude of the deposit is such,”
+ he says, “that it has given to the locality the distinctive name of
+ Flint Ridge.” It occupies an area about eight miles long by three
+ wide. 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. Hundreds of wagon loads of spalls cover the ground.” One
+ of the pits formed in this extremely hard stone is almost a hundred
+ feet in diameter and more than eighteen feet deep. The method employed
+ was to build a fire on the rock and then throw cold water on the spot
+ till the edge was broken through and they could knock flakes off of
+ the under side with stone hammers. These were put roughly into shape
+ at some nearby spot and then perhaps taken far away to be finished.
+ This flint formed better tools than that found on the surface.<a id="FNanchor_237" href="#Footnote_237" class="fnanchor">[237]</a>
+ Many of the blades were often piled together for some unknown reason.
+ In sinking a well in a corner of a mound in Illinois, eighteen large
+ flint spades were found a few feet below the surface, closely packed
+ together, and Moorehead found in Ohio the largest “cache” ever brought
+ to light. This formed a mound in the Hopewell group, six feet high and
+ sixty feet in diameter at the base, and contained over seven thousand
+ flint discs about the size of a man’s hand.<a id="FNanchor_238" href="#Footnote_238" class="fnanchor">[238]</a></p>

+
+ <p>Some spear-points found are more than a foot long and three inches
+ wide, and they vary from this down to what may be termed large
+ arrow-heads. Some writers claim that only the very small smallest<span class="pagenum" id="Page_265">265</span>
+ heads were from arrows, but this would vary according to the tribe
+ and the game hunted, just as we have various bores to our rifles. 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. Many were double-edged, while others were single. Some of the
+ diminutive stone implements resembling arrow-heads were drill-heads
+ or awls, and also heads for the children’s play-arrows.<a id="FNanchor_239" href="#Footnote_239" class="fnanchor">[239]</a> There is
+ also a great range in the size of the stone axes and hammers, from mere
+ toys to those so large as to be unwieldy. Grooved stone axes are found
+ all over the continent, except in the mounds of Ohio. Like other stone
+ implements, they have often been used successively by various tribes.
+ Those used to-day by the Mokis and Zuñis are some they have found, and
+ they use them as pounders and pestles. Many of the axes and hammers
+ were weapons of war.</p>

+ many of their weapons are beautifully made. 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. It is a flat piece of curved oak,
+ sawed out of a bend of a limb, about twenty inches long, one quarter to
+ one half inch thick, and two inches wide, with a small handle at one
+ end. It is thrown with the concave side forward.</p>

+ <p>Nets were used for fishing and for hunting. The Pai Utes made a good
+ net of cord, from milkweed or sagebrush bark, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_270">270</span>about as thick as
+ telegraph wire. It was about fifty feet long and three feet broad, and
+ was propped up on the ground on a number of slender rods, one net being
+ joined to another’s end until a large semi-circle was formed into which
+ rabbits from a large area were frightened by noises. Caught in the
+ meshes, they were soon despatched by their pursuers. 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. Diminutive mortars were used for
+ preparing face paints, while others were children’s toys. The so-called
+ cupped-stones have sometimes been supposed to be paint mortars, but, as
+ pointed out in a previous chapter (<a href="#Page_66">p. 66</a>), they may have been mostly
+ used for roughing and shaping the ends of fire-drills.</p>

+
+ <p>In the line of utensils, the Eskimo lamp, is, perhaps, one of the
+ most important and unique.<a id="FNanchor_242" href="#Footnote_242" class="fnanchor">[242]</a> No other Amerinds had anything of
+ the kind. 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>

+
+ <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
+ Alaska sledge has no back, but has a rail on each side.</p>

+ the region lying between that occupied by the Eskimo and about the
+ northern limit of the United States. Dogs were attached to the toboggan
+ by some tribes, as the Tinne, who also used the dogs in summer as pack
+ animals. The toboggan, however, was usually pulled by men, and its
+ object was the transportation of a load which would otherwise need to
+ be carried. It was made of a single thin plank, or of two, fastened
+ together on the upper surface with battens, and having the forward
+ end turned up and over like a letter C and fixed in this position
+ by rawhide cords attached properly to the first cross batten, and

+ <figcaption>ESKIMO SNOW-SHOE, POINT BARROW, ALASKA. ⅛</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>In pulling the toboggan over the snow the traveller would sink deep
+ and become tired with only ordinary foot covering, so the Amerind
+ invented a shoe expressly for snow travel. 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. In it the
+ whole family, or even two or three families, with all their trappings,
+ journey about—dogs, children, packages, and adults all combined. In the
+ sunlight its rich, translucent yellow colour is beautiful, and when
+ filled with the good-natured, ruddy-cheeked Eskimo, clad in soft and
+ elegant furs, the picture formed is one that is remembered ever after.
+ In the Eastern regions it is termed the woman’s boat. They are usually
+ about thirty feet long, five or six wide, and thirty inches deep.
+ The ends are both rather pointed, and the bottom is flat. Sometimes
+ there will be fifteen or twenty persons in one of the umiaks at the
+ same time. The frame is on the same general principle as all other
+ boats—that is, a combination of certain ribs, thwarts, braces, etc. All
+ these pieces are lashed together, and when the skin covering is on, the
+ umiak is a staunch and excellent craft, albeit it is entirely open. The
+ cover is laced on, and in winter <span class="pagenum" id="Page_284">284</span>it is removed and stored away till
+ the waters are open once more, when it is soaked in the sea to render
+ it soft and again stretched in place.</p>

+
+ <div class="subheadc">MINING, METALLURGY, AND SCIENCE</div>
+
+ <p class="drop-cap">MINING operations were carried on in different parts of the continent,
+ but in a primitive, limited way. 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>

+ <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>
+

+ <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>

+
+ <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. The excavations undoubtedly extended over
+ a long period; from before Columbus to after Champlain. But it was over
+ three hundred years after Columbus before the first explorations of the
+ Lake Superior region were <span class="pagenum" id="Page_291">291</span>made by General Cass, and hence the tree had
+ time to grow since that date. 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. At the time I thought this tale belonged with that
+ of the “lost mine,” but I am now inclined to see a fact in it. It is
+ quite within bounds that one of the small Mexican or Chiriquian figures
+ may have found its way up into this region.</p>

+
+ <p>If there had been a wide knowledge of copper and other metal-working in
+ the South-west in the olden time, there ought to be signs of it in the
+ ruins other than an oven, and even the latter has been rarely found.
+ Coronado and his chroniclers, Espejo, and all the list of early writers
+ on that region, never, so far as I have been able to note, mention
+ copper or any other metal articles. In fact, from the testimony of
+ literature, history, and actual excavation among the ruins so far as
+ carried at present, we should conclude that none of the people of that
+ region knew about metals or the manner of working them before the year
+ 1540.<a id="FNanchor_260" href="#Footnote_260" class="fnanchor">[260]</a></p>
+
+ <p>New Jersey also furnished the Amerinds some copper and those living in
+ the Atlantic region had ornaments, arrow-heads, and pipes supposed to
+ have been made from it or from Lake Superior copper. Brinton attributes
+ the scarcity of specimens in our collections to “its being bought up
+ and melted by the whites, rather than to its limited employment.”<a id="FNanchor_261" href="#Footnote_261" class="fnanchor">[261]</a>
+ A few examples have been found, but if they had been plentiful there
+ should be discovered many implements<span class="pagenum" id="Page_293">293</span> antedating the arrival of the
+ whites. On Brinton’s hypothesis it would be necessary to assume that
+ there were few made before the coming of the whites or they could not
+ have been so easily bought up. As a matter of fact, the finds in copper
+ articles compared with the area occupied are astonishingly few, if
+ the natives turned off the amount of work some writers would have us
+ believe.</p>

+
+ <p>On the North-west coast an article of great importance and value is
+ the “copper.” In former days these coppers were made of native metal
+ obtained from the mines of that region, and they must have been made
+ by cold hammering in the way that Cushing describes. To-day they are
+ made of metal obtained from the whites. The coppers are thin plates
+ of a peculiar shape; the nearest common thing that they resemble is a
+ gauntleted glove with the fingers cut off and with the gauntlet the
+ top. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_294">294</span>Across the wrist runs a ridge from one side to the other, and
+ from the middle of this another ridge extends downward to the bottom,
+ thus making with the first the shape of a letter T below the flaring
+ part. “The top is called the face,” says Boas in his valuable and
+ interesting account of the Kwakiutls, “the lower part the hind end.
+ The front of the copper is covered with black lead, in which a face
+ representing the crest animal (totem) of the owner is graven. These
+ coppers have the same function which bank notes of high denominations
+ have with us. The actual value of the piece of copper is small but it
+ is made to represent a large number of blankets, and can always be sold
+ for blankets. A white blanket at fifty cents is the unit. The value
+ is not arbitrarily set but depends upon the amount of property given
+ away in the festival at which the copper is sold. The oftener a copper
+ is sold the higher its value.”<a id="FNanchor_262" href="#Footnote_262" class="fnanchor">[262]</a> Every copper has its own special
+ name, representing its peerless quality, or an animal; as, the killer
+ whale, the bear face, beaver face, etc. As ability to destroy valuable
+ property amongst these people distinguishes the great and wealthy,
+ these valuable coppers are demolished piecemeal till only the portion
+ with the T upon it remains. Sometimes all the fragments are bought up
+ by another person, who rivets them together and the copper then has a
+ greater price than ever. A broken copper is a more important piece of
+ property than a whole one, because the possession of it shows that its
+ owner is rich enough to destroy property. These plates are in use from
+ Yakutat to Comox. Sometimes a copper is cast into the sea.</p>

+ <figcaption>HOLLOW SILVER BEADS OF NAVAJO MAKE, ARIZONA<br>Actual size</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>In the South-west it is not the house-building Pueblo who is the
+ metal-worker <i>par excellence</i> but the semi-pastoral Navajo, who,
+ besides his flocks and herds, possesses a wealth of silver ornaments
+ that runs up into the thousands. 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 objects
+ manufactured are globular and semi-globular buttons; bracelets like
+ a letter C in form and shape, buckles, rings, plate for the bridle,
+ tobacco canisters, flat buttons, beads, and various discs, and other
+ ornamental objects. These are often engraved quite artistically, and
+ sometimes elaborately. Copper seems to be a valued metal for ornaments,
+ and I have seen copper bracelets on a Navajo woman made exactly the
+ same as silver ones. The Navajo silversmith is up to a trick or two
+ as well as his white neighbour. At Manuelito there was a white trader
+ who often sold Navajo bracelets to passengers from the railway trains
+ that ran within a hundred feet or less of his door, and he was a man
+ who prided himself on “square” dealing. One day a gentleman who had
+ purchased several silver bracelets rushed in full of ire, demanding
+ the return of his money for the worthless bracelets which he threw
+ upon the counter. They were copper. The trader took down a string
+ containing a number, from which the returned ones had been originally
+ taken, and which he had purchased for silver, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_296">296</span>and found that every one
+ was copper. They had been thinly washed over by the Navajo smith with
+ silver.</p>

+ <figcaption>NAVAJO SILVER WORK, ARIZONA</figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>It has sometimes been suggested that the Navajos learned their
+ metal-working from the Pueblos, but if so it was a lesson obtained
+ in quite modern times, for the Pueblos themselves, as has been
+ mentioned, appear to have known nothing about the working of metals
+ before the arrival of the Spaniards. 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>

+ <p>Prescott says of the Mexicans: “They were as well acquainted with the
+ mineral as with the vegetable treasures of their kingdom. Silver, lead,
+ and tin they drew from the mines of Tasco; copper from the mountains
+ of Zacotollan. These were taken, not only from the crude masses on
+ the surface, but from veins wrought in the solid rock, into which
+ they opened extensive galleries.... Gold, found on the surface, or
+ gleaned from the beds of rivers, was cast into bars, or, in the form
+ of dust, made part of the regular tribute of the southern provinces
+ of the empire.”<a id="FNanchor_266" href="#Footnote_266" class="fnanchor">[266]</a> Their mining was doubtless carried on by the
+ fire-and-water process used by the Northern people, while gold from
+ the river beds was possibly obtained in much the same manner as I have
+ been told the Amerinds of Peru get it. Selecting a river that was known
+ to be rich in the metal, a series of stone “riffles” would be arranged
+ in the best place at the very lowest stage of the water. Then when the
+ freshets came and swept the gravel across these rude affairs the gold
+ would remain lodged there and on the subsidence of the stream could be
+ readily taken out. There was undoubtedly a vast quantity of gold in
+ the possession of the Mexicans and Central Americans, but this fact
+ does not signify that they conducted mining operations on a large or
+ continuous scale, for the metal had been accumulating, in the shape of
+ idols and ornaments, for centuries. There was little lost or worn away,
+ as they did not use it as a general medium of exchange. 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. The bells found in Arizona are of this description but not
+ plated.</p>

+
+ <p>Besides their sciences of mining and metallurgy, the Amerinds
+ understood some others, like the manufacture of glue and cement, the
+ production of paints and dyes, and astronomical reckonings. True, some
+ of these are more properly classed as arts, but requiring knowledge
+ that may be called scientific, they may be considered under that head.
+ Paints were usually obtained from clays and ochres. I once traced to
+ its source the red paint formerly used by the Amerinds of southern Utah
+ and found it in the second great bend of the Colorado River, about
+ three thousand feet below the surface and about two thousand feet above
+ the river, as the canyon is there about five thousand feet deep. The
+ paint was in a cave the mouth of which opened on a little gulch, and
+ the entrance was so small and narrow, and in such hard rock, that we
+ could barely wriggle our way on our bellies, along the eighteen feet
+ of passage, before we reached the cavern, thirty feet long, fifteen
+ wide, and high enough for a man to stand erect in. There were several
+ side passages leading farther, but this seemed to be the main cave, and
+ all over the walls were the marks of the sharp sticks with which the
+ Amerinds cut out the ochre. Our guide stated that it was customary to
+ send in the boys and squaws after the paint. The ochre was of a rich
+ red, but no match for the red lead and vermilion obtained by trade with
+ the whites. The remote and difficult position of this cave and its
+ narrow and repelling entrance show how eager the natives were to secure
+ paint. 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. A black dye was made by the Navajos from the twigs and
+ leaves of the aromatic sumac, a native yellow ochre, and the gum of
+ the piñon.<a id="FNanchor_273" href="#Footnote_273" class="fnanchor">[273]</a> These same Amerinds have three different processes for
+ dyeing yellow. The first produces a lemon yellow, the second an old
+ gold, and the third still a different shade.</p>

+
+ <p>Red dyes are also made by the Navajos; and the Mokis possess the
+ skill to produce several colours, one being a deep, rich blue.
+ These processes are all too long to admit of description here.<a id="FNanchor_274" href="#Footnote_274" class="fnanchor">[274]</a>
+ The Lenapé and other Eastern Amerinds used the juice of the wild,
+ sweet-scented crab apple to fix the dyes, while among the Mokis the
+ liquid generally used is urine. It must have required long and careful
+ experiment before these people acquired their knowledge of dyeing, for
+ some of the preparations are rather intricately <span class="pagenum" id="Page_305">305</span>compounded, but here
+ is evidence once more that the Amerind was by no means a vagabond, but
+ was constantly at work devising and inventing. 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. The remaining half, or that
+ more distant from the round section, is divided into two parts, which
+ are separated by a rectangular space, in the centre of which there is a
+ depression called the <i>nā-tā-l-tci</i>. On one side of the depression
+ there are three notches, on the other seven.”<a id="FNanchor_275" href="#Footnote_275" class="fnanchor">[275]</a> The Eastern Amerinds
+ computed time in their own several ways, some computing twelve, others
+ thirteen moons to the year, usually reckoning from one planting time to
+ another. The Dakotas, Chipeways, and others reckoned by winters.</p>
+
+ <p>In the Zuñi country, still existed a few years ago, if it does <span class="pagenum" id="Page_306">306</span>not
+ to-day, a primitive astronomical station. It is a rude little structure
+ containing an erect slab of sandstone adorned with the circular face of
+ the sun, and it is used, as it was long ago, for determining the Zuñi
+ chronology.</p>
+
+ <p>The Aztec year had eighteen months of twenty days each and that of the
+ Mayas was the same. The Maya week had thirteen days, and the days were
+ counted from one to thirteen continuously throughout the year—that
+ is, each month did not begin with 1 but with whatever number happened
+ to fall on that day; it might be 2 or 5 or 8 or 13 or in fact any
+ number up to 13. The eighteen months gave them only 360 days, but
+ they intercalated at the end of each year the five days necessary to
+ round it out. At least so the early Spanish writers state, though
+ Thomas, who has given close attention to this subject, has said that
+ he felt doubtful on that point.<a id="FNanchor_276" href="#Footnote_276" class="fnanchor">[276]</a> Prescott states without question,
+ concerning the Aztecs: “Five complementary days, as in Egypt, were
+ added, to make up the full number of three hundred and sixty-five. They
+ belonged to no month and were regarded as peculiarly unlucky. A month
+ was divided into four weeks of five days each.”<a id="FNanchor_277" href="#Footnote_277" class="fnanchor">[277]</a></p>

+
+ <p>The six hours over the 365 days which we make up in our leap year the
+ Aztecs allowed to run to the end of their fifty-two year cycle, when
+ they intercalated it all at one time, the actual period being twelve
+ and one half days. This brought them “within an almost inappreciable
+ fraction,” says Prescott, “to the exact length of the tropical year, as
+ established by the most accurate observations.”<a id="FNanchor_278" href="#Footnote_278" class="fnanchor">[278]</a> The Aztecs <span class="pagenum" id="Page_307">307</span>had
+ a second calendar used by the priests for keeping their own records
+ and making their own calculations, and doubtless the Maya had the same
+ practice.</p>
+
+ <p>The Cakchiquel year consisted of 366 days. That of the Maya was 365.
+ The former, therefore, says Goodman, “could have no fixed date for its
+ beginning, relative to solar or terrestrial phenomena, but must revolve
+ regularly through the seasons.... The year might begin at the summer
+ or the winter solstice, at the vernal or the autumnal equinox, or any
+ other period.”<a id="FNanchor_279" href="#Footnote_279" class="fnanchor">[279]</a></p>
+
+ <p>A great Maya event, which Goodman cites, was “the observance of the
+ 280,800th year of their era.... Nearly all the other dates in the
+ inscriptions of Copan and Quirigua either lead up to or recede from
+ it. It was the beginning of the last quarter of their grand era,
+ the completion of which, it is perhaps needless to say, they did
+ not, as a nation, live to see.”<a href="#Footnote_279" class="fnanchor">[279]</a> But when we touch this subject
+ of chronology it at once opens up a vast and complicated field of
+ investigation. Goodman goes on to say: “How account then for such an
+ immense period?... The most reasonable answer that suggests itself is
+ that they had a juster appreciation of the antiquity of the earth than
+ most nations have had, and that they began their chronology with the
+ supposed date of its creation.... I look upon the Maya chronological
+ scheme as ranking among the most marvellous creations of the human
+ intellect.”<a href="#Footnote_279" class="fnanchor">[279]</a></p>

+
+ <div class="subheadc">MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, MUSIC, AMUSEMENTS, AND GAMES</div>
+
+ <p class="drop-cap">THE popular conception that there is no fun in red men is erroneous.
+ All of them, far from being taciturn, silent, morose, and lacking
+ desire for amusement other than scalping or torturing captives, are
+ full of humour and are fond of fun. 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. Bells, as we have
+ seen in the preceding chapter, were made by tribes of the Central
+ American region of copper in the so-called “hawk’s-bell” shape, but it
+ is not absolutely certain that this <span class="pagenum" id="Page_310">310</span>form of bell was not derived from
+ European contact.<a id="FNanchor_280" href="#Footnote_280" class="fnanchor">[280]</a> No other form of bell was known to any of the
+ natives.</p>

+ <p>Whistles were made of pottery and wood and of human and other
+ bones,<a id="FNanchor_281" href="#Footnote_281" class="fnanchor">[281]</a> and were similar to our common whistles with one or more
+ holes in the tube for changing the note. The flute was of wood,
+ generally of cedar, which is considered a sacred wood. It was eighteen
+ or twenty inches long and was often ornamented with carving and tufts
+ of feathers, etc. In Mexico, some were made of terra cotta.</p>

+
+ <p>It is certain that the sounds produced on these various instruments
+ would in no way suggest or resemble what is understood by music among
+ people of European origin, and it is also probable that our music when
+ first heard by Amerinds seems to them more like wailing and lamentation
+ than sounds of pleasure. I remember an evening long ago, in Arizona,
+ when we had the interesting companionship of several intelligent Navajo
+ chiefs, who entertained us by singing, accompanying themselves by
+ drumming on the bottom of one of our camp kettles. At length someone
+ of our party exclaimed, “Now let’s give them <cite>Home, Sweet Home</cite>,”
+ and this song was accordingly rendered in a way that should have moved
+ <span class="pagenum" id="Page_311">311</span>the savage to tears, but, though the firelight was brilliant, I failed
+ to detect any; indeed their expression appeared to resemble that which
+ a professional musician of our own race might have exhibited. They
+ were perfectly satisfied with a single selection, and they politely
+ said <i>Buéno</i>. The Navajos have a peculiar drum, the basket drum,
+ described by Washington Matthews.<a id="FNanchor_282" href="#Footnote_282" class="fnanchor">[282]</a> It is a bowl-shaped basket made
+ according to special rules and rites, and inverted is used as a drum
+ in certain ceremonials, being beaten by a stick, also manufactured
+ in a special way, and according to long-established religious rites.
+ Whenever a ceremony is completed this stick is always pulled apart
+ during an appropriate song, and its fragments “deposited, with prayer
+ and ceremony, in the fork of a cedar tree or other secure place.” It is
+ made from yucca leaves, four being the prescribed number, and every one
+ of these must be absolutely free from blemish. One from each cardinal
+ point of the compass is necessary, and the making of the drumstick from
+ them is a serious matter, even the rejected fragments being disposed of
+ in some safe place with a benediction:</p>
+
+ <div class="center-container">
+ <div class="poetry">
+ <div class="stanza">
+ <div class="i0">“Thus will it be beautiful.</div>
+ <div class="i1">Thus walk in beauty, my grandchild.”</div>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+
+ <p>“In none of the ancient Navajo rites is a regular drum or tom-tom
+ employed,” says Matthews. “The inverted basket serves the purpose of
+ one.”</p>

+
+ <p>“The musical instruments,” says Bandelier, “which, while still in
+ use in Mexico, are known to antedate the Conquest, are but three in
+ number, one of which is already falling into oblivion. It is the
+ <i>tozacatl</i> (sounding-cane), described to me as a long cane, bent
+ round like an Alpine horn. I never saw one, but its sound is said to
+ be a sonorous bellowing. 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 noise produced by this instrument
+ is a fit accompaniment to the shrill Indian voices, being horrible
+ beyond all description.... The big drum, the <i>tlapan-huehuetl</i>,
+ was formerly made out <span class="pagenum" id="Page_312">312</span>of the trunk of a tree properly hollowed, over
+ which, at one end, a deerskin or some other dried hide was stretched.
+ All the older authors make more or less mention of this instrument, but
+ more particularly Bernal Diez de Castillo, who says, when describing
+ the upper platform of the principal mounds of worship of Mexico: ‘And
+ there they had an exceedingly large drum, which, when beaten, gave
+ a sound as if from the infernal regions, which was heard at more
+ than two leagues off, and they said that the skin was that of large
+ snakes.’”<a id="FNanchor_283" href="#Footnote_283" class="fnanchor">[283]</a> The <i>teponaztli</i> was a wooden instrument with two
+ tongues that were beaten with a stick. Conch shells were also used as
+ musical instruments. Some of these were of very great size.</p>
+
+ <p>The Eskimo drum is like a tambourine, a skin stretched over a hoop.
+ Some of the Chiriqui whistles were shaped like a top, while others
+ were straight with finger holes. These various types were distributed
+ over the whole area of the continent, the drum and the rattle always
+ predominating.</p>
+
+ <p>The Amerind singing at first seems extremely monotonous to our ears and
+ the impression is that all tribes sing alike, but each stock has its
+ own methods and peculiarities. A foundation principle with all in the
+ men’s singing seems to be an <span class="pagenum" id="Page_313">313</span>explosive quality of vocalisation—that
+ is, violent explosive tones instead of, as with us, tones long drawn
+ out. The Moki seems generally to sing nothing but “ho, ho, ho, ho, he,
+ he, he, he, hay, hay, hay,” etc., and he has quite a different rhythm
+ from the Ute, while the singing of the Navajo, when the singer opens
+ out all the stops, is more like the voice of a cat in the back yard
+ than any other sound in civilisation that I can think of. Farther north
+ the sounds change again: the Tlinkit vocalisation suggests death by
+ strangulation.</p>

+
+ <p>Fillmore states that the Navajo songs were the most primitive of any
+ he studied. “They form in fact the connecting link between excited
+ howling and excited singing. 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. Fillmore’s <span class="pagenum" id="Page_315">315</span>excellent investigation<a id="FNanchor_284" href="#Footnote_284" class="fnanchor">[284]</a> in
+ this line only proves again that man is the same in all climes and ages
+ since first we get track of him, so far as his fundamental make-up is
+ concerned. Variations and differences are only those which come from a
+ development of latent talents or possibilities. He always moves, when
+ he moves, along certain lines that are prearranged by his constitution
+ and his environment. He may stop where circumstances direct, but he
+ will have stopped where others stopped before.</p>

+ <p>There is always a great deal of repetition in the songs. The Amerind
+ seems content to go over and over again the same few notes. In some
+ tribes the poet and singer stands in the interior of a circle formed by
+ all the members of the tribe—men, women, and children—around a cedar
+ tree from which all but the top branches have been removed. A time of
+ moonlight is chosen, and I remember well such a night with some Pai
+ Utes, of Arizona. The poet recited his refrain, then all took it up
+ and repeated it in song, circling round and round the cedar with their
+ peculiar shuffle, repeating and repeating. I joined the circle and the
+ singing till I became tired, and finally left them still enjoying it.

+
+ <p>Among the Mokis, some of the old men are custodians of songs, according
+ to the societies to which they belong. Such a man is leader of the
+ singing. It is he who knows the old songs. He meets a lot of the young
+ men at a specified house, and placing an old tin pan on the floor to
+ spit in while smoking cigarettes, and beside it a candle for light,
+ they group themselves in a circle, sitting on the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_318">318</span>floor, while the
+ instructor takes his place on a stool at the large double-headed drum
+ at one end. He runs over a passage, beating time on the drum, and
+ then all join in with a vigour that well-nigh raises the roof. There
+ was something fine in the force and power with which these songs were
+ rendered, and it was the only time in my experience that my artistic
+ sense was stirred by Amerind singing. Later, on the same evening as
+ the gathering mentioned, when the same young men were rehearsing
+ further and also practising the dance with some small girls in a
+ neighbouring house, the singing lost its fire and was not at all
+ thrilling. Before the rehearsal with the young men the “choir master”
+ rehearses by himself. From my house at Tewa, on the “East Mesa,” I
+ could hear just after dark, every evening, through the stone wall,
+ continuous singing. It was in the next room or “house,” the entrance
+ to which, though on my level, was around a corner and not connected
+ in any way with my balcony. I had a ladder of my own. I was curious
+ to see who it was that was so devoted to this amusement. 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. They were
+ practising at that time for the Somaikoli or Soyaita ceremony.</p>

+ <p>The Amerind is fond of singing. 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>

+ <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>

+ <div class="small center"><b>AMERIND GAMBLING TOOLS</b></div>
+
+ <p>“This game, <i>totolospi</i>, resembles somewhat the game of
+ checkers, and can be played by two persons or by two parties. 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>

+
+ <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>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>I never saw any ball playing amongst the Uinkarets, Shevwits, or other
+ Amerinds of the northern Arizona-southern Nevada region. They all
+ appeared to be deficient in games, at the time I was first among them,
+ not knowing what our playing-cards were, and having even no games of
+ exterior origin. 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 used a flat piece of
+ bark as a doll, and most Amerind children play with dolls made of wood,
+ terra cotta, and other materials.<a id="FNanchor_293" href="#Footnote_293" class="fnanchor">[293]</a> The small boys devote themselves
+ to the bow and arrow for amusement in many tribes, and they will go
+ out in the woods, or on the plain, and bring down small birds and mice
+ with considerable skill. The whip-top, made of wood, is a favourite
+ everywhere, especially among the Moki boys, whose <span class="pagenum" id="Page_329">329</span>life on the barren
+ mesas precludes much hunting with bow and arrow. 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. The distance was
+ four hundred yards, and property to the amount of sixty dollars a side
+ was wagered on the result. “At the appointed time all the Indians and
+ most of the garrison were assembled at the track. The Indians ‘showed’
+ a miserable sheep of a pony with legs like churns; a three-inch coat
+ of rough hair stuck out all over the body, and a general expression
+ of neglect, helplessness, and patient suffering struck pity into the
+ hearts of all beholders. The rider was a stalwart buck of one hundred
+ and seventy pounds, looking big and strong enough to carry the poor
+ beast on his shoulders. 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>

+ <p>The Navajos, or at least some of them, have considerable <span class="pagenum" id="Page_331">331</span>dramatic
+ sense. On one occasion, when some Navajos camped near us, one of them
+ gave an exhibition of character delineation that would have done credit
+ to a professional actor. Choosing a large bush nearby as a screen for
+ his costuming, he came out to the fire successively representing the
+ various nationalities with which he was familiar. Some of these were
+ extremely well done. The Pai Ute, for instance, is poor in clothing
+ and always begging. Our actor took off all his clothing but the
+ breech-cloth, approached the fire timidly and cringingly, and crouched
+ down beside it, drawing the back of his hand across his nose with an
+ accompanying sniffle, and exclaimed in Pai Ute: <i>Tabac ashanty</i>
+ (I want some tobacco). Another was the American, who stepped nervously
+ to the fire, and restlessly turned first front, then back, extended
+ his hands, rubbing them over the heat; held up first one foot, then
+ the other, and so on. These impersonations were full of the character
+ of the types indicated. The exhibition finally culminated in a
+ representation of the characteristics of his own people. Retiring once
+ again behind the bush, he at last appeared with his full costume on,
+ carefully adjusted. His head bore a red turban, his shirt was held
+ by a fine belt, his broad Navajo trousers met at the knee the red
+ buckskin leggings, ornamented with silver buttons, and his feet were
+ protected by moccasins finely wrought, held by silver buttons. About
+ his shoulders was a fine blanket of Navajo make, and across his back a
+ large bow and its arrows in a panther-skin case and quiver. Approaching
+ the fire with a measured, haughty tread, head erect and folded arms, he
+ paused majestically before it, straightened to his full height, and in
+ a deep, dignified tone spoke the single word, “Navajo.”</p>

+
+ <p class="drop-cap">FOR a long time it was believed by the whites that the “Indians” were
+ incapable of doing anything beyond weaving baskets, and from this
+ condition of ignorance much of the confusion concerning the Amerinds
+ has arisen. The line of reasoning was based on some such syllogism as
+ this: The “Indian” never worked; The Cliff-dweller and the Moundbuilder
+ worked at building houses and mounds; Conclusion, The Cliff-dweller
+ and the Moundbuilder were not “Indians.” Short, in his excellent book
+ on the Amerinds,<a id="FNanchor_296" href="#Footnote_296" class="fnanchor">[296]</a> applies unfortunately this method of reasoning
+ to the copper-mine workers of the Lake Superior district, saying:
+ “The labour involved in a journey of a thousand miles from the Ohio
+ valley to the copper regions, the toil of the summer’s mining, and the
+ tedious transportation of the metal to their homes upon their backs,
+ and by means of an imperfect system of navigation, indicates either
+ industry and resolution such as no savage Indian ever possessed, or
+ a condition of servitude in which thousands occupied a position of
+ abject slavery.” This seems a complete misunderstanding of the people
+ and conditions existing on this continent. 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 Eastern men were hunting or building boats, or were on the
+ warpath, hence it was necessary for the women to look after the fields.</p>

+
+ <p>In the Eastern regions the crops grew without watering, but in the West
+ and South-west the soil was arid and irrigation was necessary, hence
+ there are found to this day remnants of extensive irrigation canals
+ built to bring rivers out on the dry land. 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>

+
+ <p>In the Verde River region of Arizona some very large canals or
+ “ditches” have been observed. Mindeleff has described a number of
+ these, and I will mention one which he says is one of <span class="pagenum" id="Page_336">336</span>the finest he
+ has seen.<a id="FNanchor_298" href="#Footnote_298" class="fnanchor">[298]</a> This is “about two miles below the mouth of Limestone
+ Creek on the opposite or eastern side of the river.” The canal extends
+ across the northern and western part of an extent of fertile bottom
+ land. 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. It is probable
+ that the water was taken out of the river about two miles above this
+ place, but the ditch was run on the sloping side of the mesa which has
+ recently washed out.” It is supposed that this ancient canal irrigated
+ nearly the whole of the bottom land mentioned, which was recently
+ again reclaimed by another “ditch” or canal constructed by Americans.
+ “The ancient ditch is well marked by two clearly defined lines of
+ pebbles and small boulders.... Probably these pebbles entered into its
+ construction, as the modern ditch, washed out at its head ... shows no
+ trace of a similar marking.”</p>
+
+ <p>Farming was carried on very much as the Mokis carry it on to-day,
+ except that the Mokis do not have to build irrigating ditches, the
+ showers supplying by their method water enough to mature the crops.
+ A German has recently settled south-westerly from the Mokis and, I
+ have been told, grows good crops on his <span class="pagenum" id="Page_338">338</span>place without irrigation.
+ Mindeleff further states that “on the southern side of Clear Creek,
+ about a mile above its mouth, there are extensive horticultural<a id="FNanchor_299" href="#Footnote_299" class="fnanchor">[299]</a>
+ works covering a large area of the terrace or river bench.... For a
+ distance of two miles east and west along the creek, and perhaps half
+ a mile north and south, there are traces of former works pertaining
+ to horticulture, including irrigating ditches, ‘reservoirs,’ farming
+ outlooks, etc.” The reservoirs are supposed by some to have been
+ threshing-floors, being large circular depressions lined with clay.
+ The produce derived from these farming operations was corn, beans,
+ squashes, and cotton, corn being the principal. Cotton was grown by
+ some, but not all, of the south-western tribes. A great many of the
+ tribes throughout the United States and Mexico were farmers to a
+ greater or less extent, and many of the earthworks of the Mississippi
+ valley were in all probability connected with agriculture. It was
+ necessary there to protect the crops from marauding parties from wilder
+ tribes, so, in all probability, some of the earthworks, surmounted
+ by palisades or by watch-houses, served to guard the crops from
+ depredations. Morgan thinks some of the square ones were foundations
+ for communal houses,<a id="FNanchor_300" href="#Footnote_300" class="fnanchor">[300]</a> and this is also probable.</p>

+ The reservoir at Buena Vista is one of the largest that was discovered,

+ and that there might be no failure in so essential an article, a double
+ course of pipes in stone and mortar was laid. In this way a column of
+ water the size of a man’s body was conducted into the heart of the
+ capital.”<a id="FNanchor_302" href="#Footnote_302" class="fnanchor">[302]</a></p>

+ <p>George Bancroft makes the statement that “of the labours of the Indians
+ on the soil of Virginia, there remains nothing so respectable as would
+ be a common ditch for the draining of lands,”<a id="FNanchor_303" href="#Footnote_303" class="fnanchor">[303]</a> but in this Bancroft
+ was somewhat mistaken, for Thomas describes<a id="FNanchor_304" href="#Footnote_304" class="fnanchor">[304]</a> some mounds in West
+ Virginia, which was Virginia when the above sentence was written, that
+ were undoubtedly the work of some of the Amerinds formerly occupying
+ that soil. “First the earth (unless the place selected is a bare rock)
+ is removed to the solid rock foundation and an approximately level
+ space from ten to thirty feet in diameter formed. 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

+ 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>

+ <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. There were also fortification
+ works like the so-called “hill-forts” of the eastern portion of the
+ United States, and the “cérros trinchéras” of northern Mexico. Quoting
+ again from Thomas,<a id="FNanchor_308" href="#Footnote_308" class="fnanchor">[308]</a> one of the best authorities on mounds and
+ “Moundbuilders”: “The most extensive example of the ‘hill-forts’ is
+ that known as Fort Ancient, in Warren County, Ohio. This crowns a spur
+ of the bluff some two hundred and fifty or three hundred feet high,
+ which here overhangs the Miami River. The area embraced is only some
+ seventy-five or eighty acres, but the length of the wall, which follows
+ all the windings and zigzags of the margin of the bluff and of the
+ side ravines, is a little over three miles and a half. This is one of
+ the best-preserved monuments of the Ohio valley, the surrounding<span class="pagenum" id="Page_345">345</span> wall
+ being uninjured save at points where the turnpike cuts through it, and
+ at a few places where ravines have been formed since it was abandoned.
+ This wall, which is partly of stone, but chiefly of dirt thrown up
+ from the inner or upper side, varies in height from three or four to
+ nineteen feet, and from twenty-five to seventy feet in width at the
+ base. 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>

+
+ <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 hill-forts of the Ohio kind were undoubtedly
+ the result of circumstances similar to those that prevailed in the
+ South-west: a desire <span class="pagenum" id="Page_346">346</span>to combine as closely as possible defence and the
+ cultivation of the soil. They were often interdependent. If conditions
+ changed, or a tribe grew strong enough to dominate the situation, the
+ defences might be abandoned. These works do not necessarily imply that
+ their builders were defeated and driven back by wilder tribes. They
+ indicate only that the builders felt defensive works necessary at the
+ time of the building; their circumstances then demanded them. They do
+ not indicate difference in race or remote origin. The constructors were
+ Amerinds, though not all one stock. There were tribes of different
+ stocks in the Mississippi valley all the time, just as there were in
+ other parts of the land, and the attempt that has been made by some
+ writers to establish the idea that the Mississippi valley was once
+ occupied by a single mysterious race that was overpowered and driven
+ out or exterminated by the “Indians” has no good foundation.</p>
+
+ <p>One of the most extensive groups of these defensive village sites
+ is that known as the Newark group, in Ohio.<a id="FNanchor_309" href="#Footnote_309" class="fnanchor">[309]</a> Here are circles,
+ squares, and straight-line mounds, all connected, covering an area
+ of two or three square miles. There are two large circles in this
+ group which approximate true circles, and have been the basis of much
+ unnecessary speculation as to how “Indians” could have “done it,” with
+ the conclusion that the “mysterious race” did it. When it is remembered
+ how easy it is to construct a fairly accurate circle in a great many
+ ways, it is surprising that anyone should have thought “Indians” could
+ not do it, when they did <em>and do</em> so many things that require
+ more skill. One clear-headed and accurate writer reminds the reader
+ that people who could manufacture cloth could certainly make a rope
+ with which to lay out a plan. Almost all Amerinds could make rope, the
+ Pai Ute, Uingkarets, and Shevwits Utes, who cannot make cloth at all,
+ making excellent rope and cord. But it was not necessary to make a rope
+ of fibre. Amerinds have always been skilful at tanning deerskins, and
+ buckskin strings braided make one of the best kind of ropes; indeed, it
+ does not even require to be tanned, as it can be worked in the rawhide
+ state. We should have to descend low in the scale of humanity, indeed,
+ to find a tribe that could not make a cord long enough to lay out any
+ circle yet discovered on this continent. There is nothing difficult
+ about it. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_347">347</span>The largest circle at Newark has a diameter of about a
+ thousand feet. This would require a rope only five hundred feet long,
+ which would be nothing for any tribe on the continent to make.</p>

+ <p>Just why the Newark works have the particular arrangement they have
+ would be impossible to say without knowing the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_348">348</span>customs of the tribe
+ that built them and the circumstances of the time. It is probable,
+ however, that some enclosures were farm fences. 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? Even in Zuñi surface kivas are found acceptable.</p>

+
+ <p>In Mexico there are numerous large mounds which, as noted before,
+ sustained buildings, now commonly called “temples.” “At Teotihuacan”
+ says Charnay, “the pyramid of the Sun is six hundred and eighty
+ feet at the base by one hundred and eighty feet high.... Like all
+ great pyramids they [the Sun and Moon pyramids] were divided into
+ four storeys, three of which are still visible, but the intermediate
+ gradations are almost effaced. A temple stood on the summit of the
+ large mound, having a colossal statue of the Sun, made of one single
+ block of stone.... The interior of the pyramid is composed of clay and
+ volcanic pebbles, incrusted on the surface with the light porous stone,
+ tetzontli. Over this was a thick coating of white stucco such as was
+ used for dwellings. Where the pyramid is much defaced, its incline is
+ from 31 to 36 degrees, and where the coatings of cement still adhere
+ 47 degrees.”<a id="FNanchor_310" href="#Footnote_310" class="fnanchor">[310]</a> One of the largest mounds in Mexico and one of the
+ largest in North America is the Great Mound of Cholula. It is about
+ one thousand feet square at the base, of which the approximate area
+ is over twenty acres. 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. The bricks break
+ joints and are of various sizes.”<a id="FNanchor_311" href="#Footnote_311" class="fnanchor">[311]</a> The altitude is about two
+ hundred feet. Limestone slabs were used <span class="pagenum" id="Page_351">351</span>for steps. Bandelier does not
+ ascribe it to the Aztec or Nahuatl stock which occupied the region at
+ the time of the Conquest, but to some anterior tribe.</p>
+
+ <p>It has been called a pyramid, with other mounds in Mexico and Central
+ America, but this is not a proper term for these Amerindian works.</p>
+
+ <p>They have not the character of the Egyptian pyramids, nor were they
+ constructed with the same object. The pyramids were tombs, while the
+ large Amerind mounds were <em>foundations</em> for buildings. Almost
+ every ancient building of any consequence in Mexico and adjoining
+ regions, as well as far up into the United States, stood on a mound
+ of greater or less elevation. The so-called “palace” of Palenque, in
+ which Stevens lived while studying the ruins, “stands on an artificial
+ elevation of an oblong form, forty feet high, three hundred and ten
+ feet in front and rear, and two hundred and sixty feet on each side.
+ This elevation was formerly faced with stone, which has been thrown
+ down by the growth of trees, and its form is hardly distinguishable.”
+ See illustration of a part of this palace, <a href="#Page_403">page 403</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>The chief ruins at Copan are all on a huge mound, and at Mitla the
+ edifices have mound foundations, or rather platforms. A more or less
+ elevated site for his dwelling-place or temple, whether natural or
+ artificial, seems to have been almost universal with the Amerindian
+ people from the Isthmus of Panama to British Columbia. The amount of
+ labour expended in constructing the artificial foundation platforms and
+ mounds was something prodigious.</p>

+
+ <p>Our general impression of the native American, the Amerind, is that he
+ is a kind of human demon, or wild animal, never to be trusted, unable
+ to keep a compact, always thirsting for gore; but it is a mistake. 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. His daily life
+ in the earlier days was by no means bloodthirsty. Powell has truly
+ said that the scalping-knife was no more the emblem of pre-Columbian
+ society than the bayonet is of ours of the nineteenth century. 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. Among the Mokis a hungry man of any colour is cheerfully fed.</p>

+
+ <p>We cannot seriously condemn the Amerind for not jumping at the
+ opportunity to tie himself to the plough, or to the ledger, or the
+ grindstone. He was, as a rule, close to Nature, and like all men who
+ live thus he imbibed some of her grandeur. He lived in independence;
+ and when he died, he died as the sun sets at evening, expiring in
+ glory, without a tear, without lamentations. 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. He refused to accept it and desired to be
+ devoted to the gods, as was the custom. He was tied to the gladiatorial
+ stone, where he killed eight warriors and wounded twenty others before
+ being overpowered and offered up to the war-god.</p>
+
+ <p>The habit of mind and body of dense commercial populations tends toward
+ degeneration because it is a concentration in one line. The Western
+ mountaineer exhibits the effect of removal from trade considerations
+ in a repose of manner and a tranquillity of nerves which strongly
+ suggest the Amerind. “There are incommensurable differences,” says
+ Balzac, “between the man who mingles with others and him who dwells
+ with Nature. Once captured, Toussaint Louverture died without uttering
+ a word, while Napoleon on his rock chattered like a magpie.”</p>
+
+ <p>Freedom of limb and strength of mind eliminated much disease from the
+ native races. Deformity amongst Amerinds was rare. There were seldom
+ cases of diseased spine, blindness, insanity, squinting eyes, deafness,
+ or any deficiency or excess of the organs.<a id="FNanchor_312" href="#Footnote_312" class="fnanchor">[312]</a> Sitting Bull was a
+ fine specimen of the Amerind, and he was a man of great ability. Such
+ men could not be enslaved, and from the first the European efforts to
+ reduce the red race to slavery were failures. They held their own in
+ most localities, and often compelled governments to treat with them
+ as with a sovereign power. Where the treaties were kept by the other
+ side the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_358">358</span>Amerind seldom violated them. Penn never had any difficulty
+ because he treated the Amerinds fairly and honourably. Oñate, in his
+ long journey across Arizona, had no conflict with the natives, but
+ found them without exception friendly, and this was the experience of
+ other explorers who were just. The native was a child. He expected
+ absolute fidelity and truthfulness from the whites, though he did
+ not always give this in return; once let him detect prevarication or
+ deceit, and his confidence vanished. He never forgave a white man for
+ talking “crooked,” and those who have been invariably truthful and
+ honourable toward him have commanded trust and respect. I know two men
+ who had great influence over the Navajos because they had always been
+ fair and just to them. “We call them cruel,” says George Bancroft, “yet
+ they never invented the thumb-screw, or the boot, or the rack, or broke
+ on the wheel, or exiled bands of their nations for opinion’s sake;
+ and never protected the monopoly of a medicine man by the gallows, or
+ the block, or by fire. There is not a quality belonging to the white
+ man which did not also belong to the American savage; there is not
+ among the aborigines a rule of language, a custom, or an institution
+ which when considered in its principle has not a counterpart among
+ their conquerors.”<a id="FNanchor_313" href="#Footnote_313" class="fnanchor">[313]</a> Throughout the continent there was a general
+ homogeneity of customs and ceremonies which separates the Amerindian
+ races from the rest of the world, and argues an immense period of
+ isolation from all other people.</p>

+
+ <p>Some tribes have become civilised, like the Iroquois, the Cherokees,
+ and the Choctaws. Some tribes of Arizona and the contiguous regions are
+ at the other end of the scale, living a rude life, even for Amerinds,
+ and subsisting on uncultivated products of the soil, like piñon nuts,
+ fruits of cactus and yucca, “<i>yant</i>,” a kind of agave, and seeds
+ of grasses, as well as on what game the sterile region affords. 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. Nor did it even need
+ to be <span class="pagenum" id="Page_360">360</span>ground, but, roasted in pits, or prepared in other ways, it
+ offered a palatable and nutritious food, even before the ripening.
+ Dried, or parched, it was carried on journeys, and dried venison added
+ to it made a strengthening diet. There were, besides, other foods,
+ like beans, squashes, native fruits and berries, and nuts. Nor was the
+ native without beverages, some of them intoxicating; the <i>pulque</i>,
+ or <i>octli</i> of the Mexicans, extracted from the maguey, being a
+ well-known example. There are many varieties of this drink, though all
+ are made in the same way. In the spring the central part of the plant
+ is removed, leaving a cup-like cavity which fills up with juice, that
+ is taken out from time to time, and put into a kind of vat made of hide
+ stretched on four poles. After fermentation, bitter herbs are added.
+ <i>Mezcal</i> is another drink made from a smaller kind of maguey. It
+ is a colourless, brandy-like liquid, produced by distillation since
+ the Conquest, but before that made by boiling, just as the Comanches
+ make it to-day.<a id="FNanchor_314" href="#Footnote_314" class="fnanchor">[314]</a> The Kaivavits and Uinkarets made a kind of wine
+ out of the fruit of the cactus. The fruit was put into a cloth and the
+ juice squeezed out. This was then allowed to ferment, and I was told
+ produced intoxication, though I never observed this result. The cake
+ resulting from the process was consumed as food, being sliced down like
+ bread, and eaten without further preparation. The Pimas and Maricopas,
+ after drying cactus fruit in the sun, macerate it in water, and after
+ fermentation get drunk on the compound.</p>

+ <p>These were the honourable methods employed by the fur companies. They

+ native. To-day there are a great many white men engaged in the same
+ traffic, despite the government’s efforts to crush it out. And still we
+ cannot understand why the “Indian has degenerated”!</p>
+
+ <p>A Cheyenne chief said: “White man, I have given you my robes, which my
+ warriors have spent months in hunting, and which my women have slaved
+ a whole year in dressing; and what do you give me in return? I have
+ nothing. You give me fire-water, which makes me and my people mad; and

+
+ <p>I never saw an Amerind smoke as much tobacco in a week as I have seen
+ Americans or English smoke in a single day. 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>

+
+ <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. The victims were often richly feasted and generously
+ treated for some time before being executed. Payne holds that the Aztec
+ custom of consuming captives at religious feasts was in reality a
+ means of procuring animal food resulting from the limited meat supply,
+ and that perpetual war was waged mainly to obtain prisoners for this
+ purpose.<a id="FNanchor_325" href="#Footnote_325" class="fnanchor">[325]</a> Prescott says: “Indeed the great object of war, with the
+ Aztecs, was quite as much to gather victims for their sacrifices as to
+ extend their empire.”<a id="FNanchor_326" href="#Footnote_326" class="fnanchor">[326]</a></p>

+
+ <p>One of the great ceremonials of the Aztecs was the obtaining of the
+ “new-fire,” admirably described by Prescott, according to his custom.
+ “On the evening of the last day, a procession of the priests, assuming
+ the dress and ornaments of their gods, moved from the capital towards
+ a lofty mountain, about two leagues distant. They carried with them
+ a noble victim, the flower of their captives, and an apparatus for
+ kindling the new-fire, the success of which was an augury of the
+ renewal of the cycle. On reaching the summit of the mountain, the
+ procession paused till midnight; when as the constellation of the
+ Pleiades approached the zenith, the new-fire was kindled by the
+ friction of the sticks placed on the wounded breast of the victim. The
+ flame was soon communicated to a funeral pile, on which the body of
+ the slaughtered captive was thrown. As the light streamed up towards
+ heaven, shouts of <span class="pagenum" id="Page_370">370</span>joy and triumph burst forth from the countless
+ multitudes who covered the hills, the terraces of the temples, and
+ the house-tops, with eyes bent anxiously on the mount of sacrifice.
+ Couriers, with torches lighted at the blazing beacon, rapidly bore
+ them over every part of the country; and the cheering element was
+ seen brightening on altar and hearth-stone, for the circuit of many
+ a league, long before the sun, rising on his accustomed track, gave
+ assurance that a new cycle had commenced its march and that the laws of
+ nature were not to be reversed for the Aztecs.”<a id="FNanchor_327" href="#Footnote_327" class="fnanchor">[327]</a></p>

+
+ <p>New-fire was also obtained by friction, with the Aztecs, once each
+ year, and once each four years, as well as at the fifty-two year
+ cycle. In Arkansas it was produced every year. On a certain day, “as
+ the sun began to decline the fires were extinguished in every hut,
+ and universal silence reigned.”<a id="FNanchor_328" href="#Footnote_328" class="fnanchor">[328]</a> A priest next produced fire by
+ friction. “It was then brought out of the temple in an earthen dish and
+ placed upon an altar that had been previously prepared in the square.
+ Its appearance brought joy to the hearts of the people as it was
+ supposed to atone for all past crimes except murder. A general amnesty
+ was proclaimed except for this one crime, and all malefactors might now
+ return to their villages in safety.”<a id="FNanchor_329" href="#Footnote_329" class="fnanchor">[329]</a> The Mokis still produce the
+ new-fire each November.<a id="FNanchor_330" href="#Footnote_330" class="fnanchor">[330]</a></p>
+
+ <p>Sacrifices to the gods were made by the Mayas at the sacred
+ <i>cenoté</i> of Chichen Itza, and similar places.<a id="FNanchor_331" href="#Footnote_331" class="fnanchor">[331]</a> This sacred
+ well was one of the openings to the subterranean waters of Yucatan, and
+ was about one hundred and fifty feet in diameter and sixty-five feet
+ deep from the brink to the surface of the water, with perpendicular
+ sides. Pilgrims came here to make offerings and Landa states that
+ in time of drought they would cast live men into it as a tribute to
+ the gods, believing that though they disappeared they would not die.
+ Valuable property was also thrown in and still lies with the bones at
+ the bottom. Charnay tried to work some automatic sounding machines
+ there, but he failed to obtain satisfactory results. Among the Aztecs
+ a person to be sacrificed was <span class="pagenum" id="Page_371">371</span>extended full length over a convex
+ stone, and the priest with a long obsidian knife made a gash in the
+ breast through which he extracted the living heart and laid it at
+ the feet of the idol. Parts of the victim were afterward served at
+ a grand ceremonial banquet. “Forty days previous to the festival of
+ Quetzalcohuatl,” says Bandelier, “a slave was selected, who must be
+ in perfect health and of faultless body. He was dressed in the same
+ manner as the idol, and, after having been carefully bathed, and kept
+ in ‘honourable confinement,’ as an object of worship for that length
+ of time, he was sacrificed at midnight. The heart was tendered to the
+ moon, and afterwards thrown at the idol, and the body cut up, cooked
+ and publicly devoured.”<a id="FNanchor_332" href="#Footnote_332" class="fnanchor">[332]</a> In times of drought children from six to
+ ten years old were offered up; they were not eaten, but buried before
+ the idol. The priests who officiated were medicine-men, or shamans.
+ Every tribe on the continent had shamans. These individuals held a
+ peculiar power, and among tribes known to us now they still exercise
+ it. Even among the Christian Pueblos of New Mexico, the authority of
+ the shaman has not altogether waned and ancient rites are said to be
+ still enacted in secret. For some of these it is believed rattlesnakes
+ have been carefully guarded for years. “Among Indians,” Mooney
+ states,<a id="FNanchor_333" href="#Footnote_333" class="fnanchor">[333]</a> “the professions of medicine and religion are inseparable.
+ The doctor is always a priest and the priest is always a doctor. Hence
+ to the whites in the Indian country the Indian priest-doctor has come
+ to be known as the ‘medicine-man’ and anything sacred, mysterious, or
+ of wonderful power or efficacy in Indian life or belief is designated
+ as ‘medicine,’ this term being the nearest equivalent of the aboriginal
+ expression in various languages. To make ‘medicine’ is to perform some
+ sacred ceremony, from the curing of a sick child to the consecration
+ of the Sun-dance lodge.” An Iroquois student states,<a id="FNanchor_334" href="#Footnote_334" class="fnanchor">[334]</a> that, “among
+ the Indians, the knowledge of the medicine-man and the more expert
+ sorceress is little above that of the body of the tribe. Their success
+ depends entirely on their own belief in being supernaturally gifted and
+ on the faith and fear of their followers. I do not <span class="pagenum" id="Page_372">372</span>believe that the
+ Iroquois lives to-day who is not a believer in sorcery, or who would
+ not in the night time quail at seeing a bright light the nature of
+ which he did not understand.”</p>

+
+ <p>The functions and powers of the shamans or medicine-men have never
+ been completely understood, but over the sick they carried on various
+ incantations and administered decoctions of native vegetable and animal
+ substances. 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. If
+ squirrels are supposed <span class="pagenum" id="Page_374">374</span>to be at the root of the trouble, the patient
+ is prohibited from eating squirrel meat.<a id="FNanchor_337" href="#Footnote_337" class="fnanchor">[337]</a></p>

+ <p>The sweat bath was, and is, the great cure-all among the Amerinds,
+ except the Central and Eastern Eskimo. It was also a means of religious
+ purification. Sometimes the sweat house was a large structure, but
+ usually it was only large enough to hold one or two persons in a
+ squatting posture, and was constructed of poles covered with skins,
+ blankets, or earth. The patient entered and those outside heated stones
+ and passed them in to him by means of sticks. Water or some decoction
+ was then poured over the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_375">375</span>stones and the opening closed. Profuse
+ perspiration was the result. At the proper time, if a stream were near,
+ the patient would run out and plunge in; otherwise cold water was
+ poured over him. This was the chief remedy for smallpox, which has made
+ such ravages in all tribes, but of course it was ineffective. The sweat
+ lodge and the sweat bath connected with it must not be confounded, as
+ is often the case, with the <i>estufa</i>, (or <i>kiva</i>). The latter
+ has no connection with the sweat bath, but is an entirely different
+ thing, the confusion arising from the Spanish term, which means a
+ hothouse, derived from the fact that the kivas are kept stiflingly
+ close and hot in winter.</p>
+
+ <p>Most Amerinds believe that all living things, even trees, once had
+ human shape, and “have been transformed, for punishment or otherwise,
+ into their present condition.” They had no understanding of a single
+ “Great Spirit” till the Europeans, often unconsciously, informed them
+ of their own belief.</p>
+
+ <p>The Iroquois in many ways were the finest Amerinds of all. Brinton
+ says, “unsurpassed by any other on the continent [physically], and I
+ may even say by any other people in the world.”<a id="FNanchor_338" href="#Footnote_338" class="fnanchor">[338]</a> “In legislation,
+ in eloquence, in fortitude and in military sagacity they had no
+ equals,” says Morgan.<a id="FNanchor_339" href="#Footnote_339" class="fnanchor">[339]</a> He also maintains that they represented
+ “the highest development the Indian ever reached in the hunter state.”
+ “Crimes and offences were so unfrequent under their social system that
+ the Iroquois can scarcely be said to have had a criminal code.” Theft
+ was barely known, and “on all occasions, and at whatever price, the
+ Iroquois spoke the truth without fear and without hesitation.”<a id="FNanchor_340" href="#Footnote_340" class="fnanchor">[340]</a>
+ The Iroquois, Algonquins, and other stocks carried on a considerable
+ commerce with far-distant points. “The red pipe-stone was brought to
+ the Atlantic coast from the Coteau des Prairies, and even the black
+ slate highly ornamented pipes of the Haidah on Vancouver Island have
+ been exhumed from graves of Lenapé Indians.”<a id="FNanchor_341" href="#Footnote_341" class="fnanchor">[341]</a> The wide extent of
+ Amerindian commercial traffic has hardly been appreciated.</p>

+
+ <p>The religion of most of the Amerinds was zoötheism—that is, their gods
+ were deified men and animals. The heavenly bodies, personified as
+ men and animals, also formed a part of their galaxy. <span class="pagenum" id="Page_376">376</span>Their worship
+ of these various deities, who were believed to control each his
+ division of human affairs and earthly phenomena, was through numerous
+ ceremonials, many of them embodying their form of dancing, and called
+ by the whites “dances,” though this term fails properly to describe
+ them. 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>

+ <figcaption>BEGINNING OF THE MOKI “SNAKE DANCE” AT WALPI<br>
+ Antelope priests lined up<br>
+ This scene precedes the one on <a href="#Page_376">page 376</a></figcaption>
+ </figure>
+
+ <p>A simple occurrence means to the superstitious mind of the Amerind
+ a great deal. In illustration of this I may mention that two men I
+ knew were one day at one of the Moki towns and <span class="pagenum" id="Page_379">379</span>carelessly entered a
+ kiva where the preparing and blessing of certain sacred water were in
+ progress. When they had departed, a frightened rock-wren fluttered in.
+ This was accepted as an evil omen. The bird was immediately killed and
+ some of its blood sprinkled over the floor of the kiva. Then it was
+ taken to the first house the whites had entered when they arrived at
+ the town, and more blood sprinkled wherever they had stood. 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>.) When Catlin first described
+ this ceremonial and its ordeals it was received with doubt, but it has
+ since been seen by others and fully authenticated. It is, of course,
+ not possible to more than touch on the customs and ceremonies of the
+ Amerinds in this short chapter. A large volume would be required to
+ exhibit even a quarter part of the details.</p>
+
+ <p>The ceremonials<a id="FNanchor_342" href="#Footnote_342" class="fnanchor">[342]</a> of the Pueblos are marked by elaborately costumed
+ katcinas,<a id="FNanchor_343" href="#Footnote_343" class="fnanchor">[343]</a> but perhaps not more so than those of other tribes.
+ Those of the North-west coast are full of strange costumes <span class="pagenum" id="Page_381">381</span>also, and
+ the plains tribes executed their wild scalp dance, bear dance, buffalo
+ dance, etc., in costumes that were as singular as the dance itself.
+ In the ceremony of the Mokis called Soyaita or Somaikoli, I counted
+ sixteen different katcinas with extraordinary costumes weighing them
+ down, except one who wore nothing but a round bullet-like mask and a
+ breech-cloth. 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. There being no rock, tree, or shrub
+ near, I was fully illumined by the glare as the torches approached.
+ Then I saw six stalwart fellows, entirely nude, except for the
+ breech-cloth, though it was a chilly night in November. I paused to
+ await results, as I perceived they meant to come tip with me. I could
+ not understand their object. They were marching in single file. When
+ they saw that I was not a native, but the solitary white visitor to
+ the mesa who lived at Hano, they grinned and passed on without a word.
+ What they would have done with one of their people I do not know, but I
+ heard afterwards that they captured anyone they found out and kept them
+ in one of the kivas till the day of the public ceremony. At any rate,
+ I found that everybody took care to be indoors on this night between
+ certain hours. The mysteries of the different secret orders are not
+ known to outsiders, not even if members of the tribe.<a id="FNanchor_344" href="#Footnote_344" class="fnanchor">[344]</a></p>

+
+ <p>Murder in most tribes was settled by property atonement, or by the
+ assumption by the guilty one of the victim’s duties, and when <span class="pagenum" id="Page_383">383</span>once
+ settled the matter could never again be reopened. 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. A <span class="pagenum" id="Page_385">385</span>second battle
+ for the same woman at that time is not permitted.<a id="FNanchor_345" href="#Footnote_345" class="fnanchor">[345]</a> Or one man, if
+ he feel strong enough, may deprive some other fellow in his own tribe
+ of his wife. In southern Utah, Tom came to our camp one night weeping
+ bitterly, and when I could get at his statement it was to the effect
+ that someone had deprived him of his wife. Our men were indignant and
+ wished to proceed forthwith to the Amerind camp and compel the thief to
+ restore the wife to Tom, but they finally decided to abandon him to the
+ established customs of his people.</p>

+
+ <p>Sometimes a woman is assigned to a man who already has a wife, while
+ some other man has none, because the group into which he is permitted
+ to marry is exhausted. He then challenges the man who is entitled to
+ more than one and endeavours to win the woman by success in battle.
+ On one occasion in southern Nevada a white man’s sympathies were so
+ aroused by one of these affairs, in which the girl was being roughly
+ pulled about, that he threw off his coat and, taking an active part in
+ the struggles, rescued her. 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. The ground was muddy and she would
+ have soiled her clothes had she knelt to drink, but another man rode up
+ at the moment, and, jumping from his horse, he pulled a lot of grass,
+ placing it on the wet ground so that she could drink without soiling
+ her dress.</p>

+ There were burials in pits, graves, mounds, cists, caves, and so on;
+ there was cremation; there was embalming; there was aërial sepulture
+ in trees or scaffolds; there was burial beneath water, or in canoes
+ that were turned adrift. The Navajos leave the dead in the place where

+
+ <div class="subheadc">MYTHS, TRADITIONS, AND LEGENDS</div>
+
+ <p class="drop-cap">PERSONS who are obliged to rely on memory find that memory develops
+ with use and becomes more reliable. The Amerinds, having no written
+ language, if we except the Nahuatl and Mayan tribes, had no way of
+ preserving their tales, traditions, and legends except to remember
+ them, and there can be no doubt that everywhere on the continent memory
+ was highly developed. 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. The happy days are depicted, when men lived without
+ wars or sickness, and food was at all times abundant. Evil beings of
+ mysterious power introduced cold and war and sickness and premature
+ death. Then began strife and long wanderings.”<a id="FNanchor_352" href="#Footnote_352" class="fnanchor">[352]</a> We can readily
+ understand how a few rude lines could recall to the Amerind mind a
+ whole story, and especially to the mind of one trained to exercise
+ his memory in such directions. It is not necessary for me to do more
+ for the Christian reader than write “<em>Xmas</em>,” and he can from it
+ review the whole wonderful story of Christ in all its details. So it
+ was with the Amerind. Those entrusted with the preservation of the
+ legends, etc., learned them perfectly and year by year repeated them on
+ the proper occasion to their followers. Changes were probably sometimes
+ made in the text of some to suit them to changed conditions, but the
+ accuracy was so great that myths and legends have been found to contain
+ archaic words which the members of the tribe were unable to explain,
+ and which yielded only to the expert analysis of a white linguist.</p>

+
+ <p>With the Amerind a group of myths, traditions, and legends developed
+ along with each particular stock. Each language had its own
+ accumulation of these tales, etc., relating to animals, to natural
+ forces personified, and sometimes to real personages. Savage races
+ worship animal gods and natural objects personified as animals.<a id="FNanchor_353" href="#Footnote_353" class="fnanchor">[353]</a>
+ In the middle state called barbarism the religion becomes a worship
+ of the phenomena of nature, pure and simple, frequently personified
+ as animals or beings, as in the case of the thunder and lightning
+ generally attributed by the Amerinds to the mysterious “thunder-bird,”
+ which is also believed by some to be a great being who takes on the
+ form of a bird. In civilisation the worship of one God takes the place
+ of all the others, while the myths and legends of earlier days survive
+ in mythological literature and in unconscious thoughts and acts of
+ individuals. Looking at the moon over the right shoulder for luck,
+ objections to a certain number, the belief that one stone is lucky and
+ another unlucky, are all remnants of the era of zoötheism, physitheism,
+ and other early beliefs.<a id="FNanchor_354" href="#Footnote_354" class="fnanchor">[354]</a> Races cannot shake off earlier beliefs
+ entirely, but continue them under changed forms. Thus we celebrate many
+ pagan rites in our holidays, and pay a tribute to the Druid priests
+ every time we suspend a branch of mistletoe in our parlours in the
+ season when the sun turns his course towards the vernal equinox.</p>

+
+ <p>In our literature many Amerind myths and legends have become firmly
+ implanted, and they are now as much a part of it as the tale of
+ Orpheus, or of Theseus, or of Hercules. Some of them have been
+ beautified by the diction of our poets, and Longfellow’s rendering of
+ <cite>Hiawatha</cite> is admired the world over. This is good literature,
+ but it is not good ethnology, because in it an Iroquois <span class="pagenum" id="Page_395">395</span>hero-god is
+ placed in a setting of Algonquin legends, but this was not Longfellow’s
+ mistake, but Schoolcraft’s, on whose work Longfellow based his poem.
+ Jeremiah Curtin says: “Schoolcraft, with his amazing propensity to
+ make mistakes, with his remarkable genius for missing the truth and
+ confusing everything with which he came in contact, gave the name
+ Hiawatha to his patchwork.... 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. It is as if
+ Europeans at some future age were to have placed before them a great
+ epic narrative of French heroic adventure in which Prince Bismarck
+ would appear as the chief and central Gallic figure in the glory and
+ triumph of France.”<a id="FNanchor_355" href="#Footnote_355" class="fnanchor">[355]</a></p>
+
+ <p>But Hiawatha, nevertheless, is incorporated in our language and our
+ literature, and altogether the conquered race, as was inevitable, has
+ left an impress on our character, on our language, on our geography,
+ and on our literature which can never, even if desired, be effaced. The
+ mark of our contact with the red man is upon us indelibly and forever.
+ George Bancroft is not quite right when he says, “The memorials of
+ their former existence are found only in the names of the rivers and
+ the mountains.” These memorials have not only permeated our poetry and
+ literature generally, but they are perpetuated in our daily food, and
+ every mention of “succotash,” of “mush,” of “chocolate,” is a tribute
+ to their existence, while the fragrance of the “tobacco” we smoke is
+ incense to their memory. Mrs. Sigourney touched this subject prettily
+ in the little poem entitled <cite>Indian Names</cite>:</p>

+ <p>And she might have added that their gods have seated themselves
+ with those of the Greeks in our libraries; that Michabo, Tlaloc,
+ Quetzalcohuatl, and others are now companions of Jupiter and Neptune;
+ in short, that their literature, which relied on oral transmission, has
+ to a large extent been crystallised in our printed pages.</p>
+
+ <p>The Amerind, not fortified by our modern knowledge and philosophy,
+ regarded the outer world in a far different way from what we do. 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>

+ <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. Quetzalcohuatl also
+ wore a beard.</p>
+
+ <p>Michabo, the Algonquin counterpart of Quetzalcohuatl, was considered to
+ be the ancestor of the whole tribe, the founder of their ceremonies,
+ the inventor of picture-writing, the ruler of the <span class="pagenum" id="Page_401">401</span>weather, the
+ creator and preserver of earth and heaven. “From a grain of sand,” says
+ Brinton, “brought from the bottom of the primeval ocean he fashioned
+ the habitable land and set it floating on the waters till it grew to
+ such a size that a strong young wolf, running constantly, died of old
+ age ere he reached its limits.”</p>

+
+ <p>Among the Iroquois the hero-god was called Ioskeha, and he possessed
+ many of the qualities of Michabo and Quetzalcohuatl, etc., though in
+ his case as well as that of Michabo there seems to be no historical
+ evidence of existence, as there is with Quetzalcohuatl, and therefore
+ they may be, as claimed by Brinton and others, merely dawn myths. It
+ is possible that they may be compounds of a dawn myth and one or more
+ actual personages.</p>
+
+ <p>The hero-god of the Mayas was Itzamna, and he was a beneficent
+ personage like the others. Like Cadmus, he invented letters, and he
+ also devised their calendar. He is spoken of as an historical personage
+ and “is intimately associated with the noble edifices of Itzamal,
+ which he laid out and constructed, and over which he ruled, enacting
+ wise laws and extending the power and happiness of his people for an
+ indefinite period.”<a id="FNanchor_360" href="#Footnote_360" class="fnanchor">[360]</a> Brinton identifies him with the dawn myth, but
+ here again it is not conclusive. It seems quite as probable that he was
+ a real person, upon whose history certain myths have been engrafted.</p>
+
+ <p>In putting the Amerind stories into other languages, embellishments and
+ variations have often been introduced, or the translators have been
+ deceived by interpreters or by the Amerinds themselves, while sometimes
+ both causes have operated to colour or to alter the tales. Schoolcraft
+ has generally been regarded as a faithful recorder, but in some
+ instances he has gone considerably astray. In his time the Amerinds
+ were not so well understood, nor were they, in all their various
+ stocks, so accessible as now.</p>
+
+ <p>Formerly the European was prepared to find in the Amerind rites
+ evidences of the Lost Tribes of Israel, of the Chinese, or some other
+ extraordinary or romantic idea. He was not content to take things as
+ they were. Marquette on arriving at Green Bay was delighted with what
+ he believed to be an evidence of Christianity, a large cross set up
+ in the middle of the village, adorned with skins, bows, etc., which
+ the people were offering to their gods. It was only one of the symbols
+ of the Midē society, and was in use long before the Discovery. 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. Columbus himself was the first to float
+ the Amazon myth to these shores, for in a letter to Rafael Sanchez he
+ speaks of an island inhabited solely by women, and the Spaniards had
+ a long and fruitless chase after it.<a id="FNanchor_361" href="#Footnote_361" class="fnanchor">[361]</a> Thus they also pursued the
+ myth of the <em>Seven Cities</em>, <em>El Dorado</em>, and similar tales.
+ <em>El Dorado</em>, or, “The Gilded Man,” really existed in a ceremony
+ in New Granada, where a man was sprinkled with gold dust, but when the
+ Spaniards had taken all the gold from these people they went on hunting
+ for El Dorado just the same, though they never found him again.</p>

+
+ <p>Certain resemblances between the myths of the Amerinds and those of
+ the Israelites increased the belief that the American race is the
+ Lost Tribes. The Mormons specially hold to this opinion. But there is
+ positively no ground for the belief. 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>

+
+ <p>All races have malignant sprites that haunt rocks and watering places,
+ and the Amerind was no exception. The Uinkarets of Arizona declared
+ that a certain water-pocket where we camped was a favourite resort of
+ the Woonupits, a little elf that is full of mischief, and Chuar one
+ night insisted that he heard one whistling in the forest. He fired a
+ shot out into the darkness to drive it away. He did this with great
+ solemnity and deliberation, and there was no question as to his faith
+ in the belief. 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. The
+ elf has only rudimentary legs and no wings, and this is his method of
+ journeying from place to place.</p>
+
+ <p>The Amerinds of the straits of Fuca have distinct traditions of the
+ Eskimo as a race of dwarfs, who live in the “always dark country,”
+ on the ice, dive and catch whales with their hands, and produce the
+ aurora by boiling out the blubber, the fires reflecting on the sky.
+ The Iroquois had legends of great giants, as also had other tribes,
+ which were due probably to the same cause as the dwarf Eskimo myths:
+ ignorance of the outside world. 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>

+
+ <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. But the Eskimo, according to A. L. Kroeber, have comparatively
+ few animal stories. Examples of these animal stories may be found in
+ the reports of the U.&nbsp;S. Bureau of Ethnology and other publications.
+ Lack of space prevents me from introducing any here.</p>
+
+ <p>The slightest misunderstood noise is sufficient to rouse the Amerind
+ imagination, of which I had an illustration in Arizona. 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. He cannot
+ speak, but merely cry, “Be! be! be! be!” An Eskimo flood tale relates
+ how the ocean long ago rose till it covered the whole land, even to the
+ tops of the mountains, till the ice drifted over them. When the flood
+ subsided the ice stranded and has ever since formed a cap on their
+ summits.</p>
+
+ <p>The keepers of the mythological tales were the shamans, and they are
+ the real powers, generally, in a tribe. Had Cortes understood this
+ point he would have seized, not the war-chief, Montezuma, but one of
+ the shamans, who would have been more valuable as a hostage. Many of
+ the shamans are believed to be able to pass through fire unharmed,
+ and to handle it with impunity; to be able to change themselves into
+ coyotes, etc., and then return to their normal shape, all at their own
+ pleasure.</p>
+
+ <p>A legend of Montezuma’s coming has been attributed to the Pueblos of
+ New Mexico, but this is an error, for they knew nothing about Montezuma
+ till the whites came into the country. There are a great many legends
+ concerning the occupation of this or that place, and one of these,
+ the legend of the former occupation of the <i>Mesa Encantada</i>, or,
+ “Enchanted Mesa,” New Mexico, has recently caused a lively discussion
+ between two distinguished ethnologists, as to whether some Puebloans
+ did or did not once live on top of the mesa as related. Both succeeded
+ in reaching the top. One found no evidence of any continued occupation
+ of the mesa top; the other found what he accepted as sufficient
+ evidence of the truth of the legend that Pueblos had once lived there
+ and had been cut off from the world below and destroyed by a fearful
+ storm.</p>
+
+ <p>Large portions of the Maya chronicles relate the predictions of the
+ astrologers, seers, or prophets, and after the habit of the class
+ they foretold all manner of evil, but strangely enough they seem to
+ have foretold the arrival of the Spaniards, for they said that white
+ and bearded strangers would come and control the land and alter the
+ prevailing religion. What was it that instilled them with this faith
+ or fear? Was it coincidence, or was it what is now termed telepathy?
+ Whatever it was, the terrible fulfilment came upon their race like a
+ cyclone; and when one more century has passed away the Amerind race
+ will be more truly even than now, the North-Americans of Yesterday.<a id="FNanchor_362" href="#Footnote_362" class="fnanchor">[362]</a></p>

+ <h2>CHAPTER XV</h2>
+ </div>
+
+ <div class="subheadc">ORGANISATION AND GOVERNMENT</div>
+
+ <p class="drop-cap">TRIBES often had a definite organisation and a regular government,
+ and each held sway over a territory with fixed boundaries. 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. Bancroft, “regarding their boundaries.”<a id="FNanchor_363" href="#Footnote_363" class="fnanchor">[363]</a></p>
+
+ <p>When I was once coming out of the Shevwits country, my Uinkarets guide
+ exclaimed as we passed a certain bowlder near the trail, “Now we are
+ out of the Shevwits land.” Beyond that point the Shevwits would not
+ venture except in a friendly way, so long as they were friendly with
+ the owners of the land. 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>

+ <p>George Bancroft says, “There have been chiefs who could not tell when,
+ where, or how they obtained power.... 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>

+ <p>Brinton says, “The gentile system is by no means universal, ... where
+ it exists, it is often traced in the male line; both property and
+ dignities may be inherited directly from the father.... 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. Some, Horatio Hale for
+ one, think that Hiawatha was a real person, and others that it
+ was Däganowédä who did the work under the guise of representing
+ Hiawatha.<a id="FNanchor_379" href="#Footnote_379" class="fnanchor">[379]</a> However this may be, the organisation of the several
+ tribes into the confederacy was a work of genius, and this was one
+ of the highest governments that was discovered on this continent. 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>

+
+ <p>As the Iroquois league was such an important affair, and as it was so
+ thoroughly studied by Morgan, I will quote him further by giving his
+ statement of the main points in the organisation.</p>
+
+ <p>“I. The Confederacy was a union of Five Tribes (afterwards Six),
+ composed of common gentes under one government on the basis of
+ equality, each Tribe remaining independent in all matters pertaining to
+ local self-government.</p>
+
+ <p>“II. It created a General Council of Sachems, who were limited in
+ number, equal in rank and authority, and invested with supreme powers
+ over all matters pertaining to the Confederacy.</p>
+
+ <p>“III. Fifty Sachemships were created and named in perpetuity in
+ certain gentes of the several Tribes; with power in these gentes to
+ fill vacancies as often as they occurred, by election from among their
+ respective members, and with the further power to depose from office
+ for cause; but the right to invest these Sachems with office was
+ reserved to the General Council.</p>
+
+ <p>“IV. The Sachems of the Confederacy were also Sachems in their
+ respective Tribes, and with the Chiefs of these Tribes formed the
+ Council of each, which was supreme over all matters pertaining to the
+ Tribe exclusively.</p>
+
+ <p>“V. Unanimity in the Council of the Confederacy was made essential to
+ every public act.</p>
+
+ <p>“VI. In the General Council the Sachems voted by Tribes, which gave to
+ each Tribe a negative upon the others.</p>
+
+ <p>“VII. The Council of each Tribe had power to convene the General
+ Council; but the latter had no power to convene itself.</p>
+
+ <p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_427">427</span></p>
+ <p>“VIII. The General Council was open to the orators of the people for
+ the discussion of public questions; but the Council alone decided.</p>
+
+ <p>“IX. The Confederacy had no Chief Executive Magistrate or official head.</p>
+
+ <p>“X. Experiencing the necessity for a General Military Commander, they
+ created the office in a dual form, that one might neutralise the other.
+ The two principal War-chiefs created were made equal in powers.”<a id="FNanchor_385" href="#Footnote_385" class="fnanchor">[385]</a></p>

+
+ <p>Such was the remarkable construction of the government of these Amerind
+ people of New York. In its conception, in its details, and in its
+ execution it was one of the most extraordinary primitive governments
+ ever recorded. From a comparatively weak people it placed the Iroquois,
+ though they were far inferior in numbers to surrounding tribes, in a
+ commanding position, and enabled them to extend their sway over a vast
+ territory. They made no attempt to hold the region that was subject to
+ their devastation, but probably, had not the European appeared on the
+ scene, they would have gradually expanded until their villages covered
+ many times the area which they specifically claimed when our people
+ first came. An increase of population which would have overtaxed the
+ game-supply would have pushed the development of their agriculture and
+ forced the confederacy to move along higher and broader lines. One
+ great drawback to Amerindian progress, internecine wars, was entirely
+ obliterated by the masterly organisation of the Iroquois league,
+ while at the same time they gained by their union a strength for
+ offence and defence that, together with their fertile and well-watered
+ domain, rendered their organisation impregnable. This and the Mexican
+ confederacy prove that the Amerind was capable of great things in
+ governmental organisation. It only remained for him to discover the
+ secrets of smelting and forging, and he was apparently on the brink of
+ these discoveries, to step into a foremost place of development and
+ progress. In some respects it is a pity the Europeans did not remain in
+ ignorance of this continent for another five hundred years.</p>

+
+ <p>That the continent was entirely peopled by way of Bering Strait
+ within the last thousand years, by migrations through a zone of ice,
+ is improbable. 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>

+
+ <p>The material evidences concerning the antiquity of man in America
+ are many, but few are entirely satisfactory. The Calaveras skull and
+ other remains in the auriferous California gravels seem to place him
+ here as early as the Tertiary, and this, says Holmes,<a id="FNanchor_393" href="#Footnote_393" class="fnanchor">[393]</a> would make
+ man older on this continent than anywhere else in the world according
+ to present evidence. 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 grinding-stone was
+ twenty feet below the top of the mound and ten below the present
+ general level of the surface. The mound was formed of many layers of
+ earth interspersed with thin layers of charcoal and ashes. All around
+ the site there were house ruins on the surface, but in the mound not
+ a trace of a building stone was seen. I was told that in digging a
+ well not far from this locality a small earthen jug of antique type
+ was found about thirty feet below the present level. I did not see it
+ nor even the man who found it, but the great abundance of such finds
+ must indicate antiquity, for they could not all be fraudulent, nor all
+ recent intrusions.</p>

+
+ <p>The cause of the glacial period has been much discussed. It seems to
+ have been largely due to changes in land levels,<a id="FNanchor_394" href="#Footnote_394" class="fnanchor">[394]</a> and to other
+ causes not now understood. The people inhabiting the world before it
+ may have been originally much alike in kind and colour with local
+ variations, and the isolation produced by glacial conditions modified
+ this colour and increased the variations, those finally left in hot
+ lands becoming darker, medium temperatures producing brown, still
+ cooler the reds and yellows, and the forests of Europe evolving a shade
+ or shadow people, shrinking from the strong sun; the so-called white
+ race. 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. In South America the people were crowded northward,
+ or held there by the cold coming from the south. It would be in the
+ northern portions, particularly the lowlands, that we ought to find
+ evidence of the highest development, especially on the side receiving
+ warm currents, and there is where we do find it. We apparently have
+ then a northern and a southern limit to the ancient inhabitants of
+ this hemisphere, within which climatic conditions during the period
+ of great cold, and for some time thereafter, were most favourable to
+ human development. This limit in the Northern continent is latitude 23
+ and in the Southern also 23. Within these lines the great precolumbian
+ development took place, <span class="pagenum" id="Page_439">439</span>and the heart of this development on the
+ Northern continent seems to have rested between the Isthmus of
+ Tehuantepec and the present upper frontier of Honduras, chiefly on the
+ lowlands, and probably also on lands now beneath the ocean.</p>

+
+ <p>In North America, south of latitude 23, then, most of the tribes of
+ the continent were crowded by the great cold, and here they developed
+ their chief characteristics, so that by the time the ice began its
+ last recession they had become a homogeneous people, with the greatest
+ advancement and the greatest similarities in the region where the
+ population had been densest, with a diminishing scale outward, those
+ tribes farthest from the culture centre varying most from the highest
+ culture attained. The tribe on the extreme edge was, and is now,
+ represented by the Eskimo.<a id="FNanchor_397" href="#Footnote_397" class="fnanchor">[397]</a> The development and the distribution
+ of the arts were in the same order, and here apparently is the
+ explanation of the superior excellence of Central-American arts, and
+ the seeming derivation of all the arts on the continent from this
+ centre. 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. They
+ did not multiply.</p>

+
+ <p>The reason the Eastern continents produced many and diverse peoples
+ is that the glacial period temperate zone, or warm zone, extended
+ through many degrees of <em>longitude</em>, offering extensive areas of
+ settlement to the races in that hemisphere, where they remained more or
+ less isolated and independent, to advance in their own way and along
+ their own lines; that is, on the Eastern continents there was ample
+ <em>latitudinal</em> land space, while on the Western there was a very
+ limited latitudinal land space that retained a salubrious climate. This
+ was the cause of North American race homogeneity.</p>
+
+ <p>The period of time that has elapsed since the so-called disappearance
+ of the ice was formerly believed to be very great, but latterly views
+ on this point have been much modified. Gilbert has declared, after
+ a study of the Niagara gorge, that the time since the ice left that
+ region is not more than seven thousand years, perhaps less. More recent
+ investigations have tended to confirm his suggestion of fewer years.
+ Immediately after the recession of glacial ice, as may be seen in
+ Alaska to-day, erosion is extremely rapid. I have not space to discuss
+ this point at length, but it is apparent that the rate of erosion is
+ variable, and I doubt if more than five thousand years have passed
+ since the ice left the vicinity of the Niagara gorge. As it still
+ lingers in the North, far down on the Pacific side, it <em>is probably
+ not more than a thousand years since its <span class="pagenum" id="Page_443">443</span>influence was powerful in
+ affecting the climate of all the region southward</em>. The North is
+ undoubtedly growing warmer. Some five hundred years ago Alaska was
+ still covered with glacial ice. Five hundred years from now there
+ will scarcely be a glacier to be found there, except in the highest
+ mountains. “The next generation will find few of them with their fronts
+ still in the sea,” says Henry Gannett.<a id="FNanchor_399" href="#Footnote_399" class="fnanchor">[399]</a></p>

+
+ <p>The most widely spread stocks are made up of those that were forced
+ to occupy a middle position during the cold, like the Algonquins
+ and Athapascans, who were invigorated by it. Other stocks, for
+ reasons not understood, dwindled to mere handfuls of people, like
+ the Karankawan, now extinct, the Adaizan, the Natchezan, the Uchean,
+ the Zuñian, Keresan, and others. The oldest people of the Valley
+ of Mexico mentioned are the Xicalancas, Olmecas, and the Toltecs.
+ Brinton believed the latter never existed, but other authors, fully as
+ distinguished, accept them as a <i>bona-fide</i> tribe. They may have
+ been kindred to the Nahuatls, coming from the crowded lowlands, as the
+ waters rose and the heat increased, and occupying the cooler plateau.
+ Their wilder relatives later became influenced by them and adopting
+ their learning began the famous development in the Valley of Mexico.
+ The period of evolution in the crowded region was very long. Tribes
+ rose to power and declined.<a id="FNanchor_400" href="#Footnote_400" class="fnanchor">[400]</a> Other tribes, profiting by their
+ experience, took up some of their ways and progressed. Many of these
+ tribes we have no reminiscence of.</p>
+
+ <p>Back of the Conquest of Mexico by Cortes, the thread of authentic
+ history becomes most uncertain. It begins about the sixth century.
+ Ixtlilxochitl, the native Mexican, has written a good deal, but it
+ must be taken, oftentimes, with extreme caution. The history of the
+ Amerind race is written mainly by their conquerors. It is a one-sided
+ affair, and even so is not pleasant reading. 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. Not only have every
+ principle of honesty, every dictate of humanity, every Christian
+ precept been violated by this company in their eager artifices to
+ despoil the Senecas; but the darkest frauds, the basest bribery, and
+ the most execrable intrigues which soulless avarice could suggest,
+ have been practised in open day upon this defenceless and much injured
+ people.”<a id="FNanchor_401" href="#Footnote_401" class="fnanchor">[401]</a></p>

+
+ <p>On one occasion in 1643, out of a spirit of revenge for a murder
+ committed by an Indian who had been infuriated by whisky, but whose
+ friends, according to Amerind custom, offered to pay a blood indemnity,
+ Governor Kieft, heading a band of soldiers and freebooters from Dutch
+ privateers, fell upon the unsuspecting Algonquins and slaughtered over
+ a hundred of them. Little children were tossed into the river, and the
+ parents <span class="pagenum" id="Page_445">445</span>who plunged to the rescue were prevented from landing by the
+ soldiers, and child and parent both perished. 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

+ <p>In the West the history of the Amerind is linked mainly with that of
+ but two other races, the Spanish and the Anglo-Saxon, while in the East
+ it is intimately bound up with the wars and history of the Dutch and
+ French as well. All the struggles of these European races for supremacy
+ affected the Amerind, and in the East he is found sometimes on one
+ side, sometimes on another.<a id="FNanchor_402" href="#Footnote_402" class="fnanchor">[402]</a> He did not for some time discover
+ that his doom was in the European regardless of kind. At first, too,
+ the Amerind extended the law of hospitality to the newcomers, and the
+ Europeans would have starved to death in some instances had it not
+ been for the timely aid of the race in possession of the soil, and
+ whose reward was subsequent destruction. The Amerinds at last tried
+ to combine, as in the conspiracy of Pontiac, against their increasing
+ foe, and had they been able to throw aside some of their peculiar
+ regulations and form a wide-spreading and <span class="pagenum" id="Page_449">449</span>close confederacy, they
+ could have compelled the Europeans to halt on the Atlantic slopes of
+ the Appalachian chain for a long period. “In our ignorance,” says Simon
+ Pokagon, chief of the Pokagon Pottawatomies, “we did not comprehend
+ the mighty ocean of humanity that lay back of the advance waves of
+ pioneer settlement. 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. We fought most heroically against overpowering
+ numbers for home and native land; sometimes victory was ours, as when,
+ during the last decade of the eighteenth century, after having many
+ warriors killed, and our villages burned to the ground, our fathers
+ arose in their might, putting to flight the alien armies of Generals
+ Harmer and St. Clair, hurling them in disorder from the wilderness
+ across our borders into their own ill-gotten domain.”<a id="FNanchor_403" href="#Footnote_403" class="fnanchor">[403]</a> But the
+ whites who had already come to America, however much they might have
+ desired to leave the Amerinds alone, were powerless to prevent other
+ whites, in search of better fortunes, from dispossessing them, and
+ so impelled by the pressure of European population, numbers came and
+ numbers came again and again, and yet still others behind them. 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. Had they not been wrecked by contact with Europeans, it is safe
+ to assume that they <span class="pagenum" id="Page_451">451</span>would have advanced to double their power, at
+ least, in another century. They destroyed the Siouan tribes of the
+ East, held the Lenapé in subjection, and terrorised the Algonquins as
+ far as the banks of the Mississippi.</p>

+
+ <p>In war the Amerinds were given to killing all they could, but as this

+
+ <p>Long before any permanent settlers pushed to the wilderness,
+ adventurous traders penetrated to remote regions with the whisky keg,
+ and as they seldom expected to go to the same place twice, they usually
+ swindled the native outrageously. Many of these were Frenchmen, and
+ they were given the name of <em>Coureurs du Bois</em>. There were also
+ always certain outlaws who found safety in putting<span class="pagenum" id="Page_453">453</span> a great distance
+ between themselves and the law. These classes were more apt to stir
+ the native up against the European than to render intercourse easy,
+ and often, in early times as well as in our day, they incited the
+ Amerinds to war for the sake of their own gains. But it was the coming
+ of actual settlers which caused the greatest trouble. They appropriated
+ the soil, killed the game, and otherwise interfered with rights which
+ the tribe concerned had for centuries, perhaps, regarded as theirs
+ alone. In the case of the Hudson Bay Company, it being well understood
+ that they occupied certain points merely for trade, no trouble was
+ ever experienced. <em>For two hundred years this company traded all
+ over the northern part of the continent without a serious rupture with
+ any tribe!</em> Each tribe held its own lands as before, so far as the
+ company was concerned, hence there was no clashing; but with settlers
+ taking up choice places it becomes another matter.</p>

+
+ <p>As there were outlaws among the whites, so too there were outlaws among
+ the Amerinds. 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. It was composed of outlaws from the
+ surrounding tribes, chiefly Utes and Navajos, and was the terror of
+ the country, though in 1872, when I first knew of it, nothing in the
+ way of serious depredation had been attempted for several years. The
+ Mormons of southern Utah looked upon Patnish as a dangerous man, yet
+ he sometimes came to their frontier villages in a peaceful way. He
+ had three or four stalwart sons who usually accompanied him in his
+ travels, and they were always ready for emergencies. The band wore the
+ Navajo dress and, I understood, preferred to be considered Navajos.
+ Beckwourth mentions a renegade band of this sort in his time, a village
+ “composed of outlaws from all the surrounding tribes, who were expelled
+ from their <span class="pagenum" id="Page_456">456</span>various communities for sundry infractions of their rude
+ criminal code; they had acquired a hard name for their cruelties and
+ excesses, and many white traders were known to have been killed by
+ them.... The village numbered three hundred lodges, and could bring
+ from twelve to fifteen hundred warriors into the field.... We called it
+ the City of Refuge.”<a id="FNanchor_405" href="#Footnote_405" class="fnanchor">[405]</a> He speaks of them as Cheyennes, but I suppose
+ they were Cheyennes in the same way that Patnish’s band were Navajos;
+ because they preferred to be called so.</p>
+
+ <p>These outlaws often caused trouble between the better class of Amerinds
+ and the whites, because, especially in the earlier days, an “Indian”
+ was an “Indian” always and everywhere, and a crime of the outlaws or
+ others was revenged upon the first “Indian” that was met with. 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>

+
+ <p>The abbreviations are the ones used in the alphabetical list of tribes.
+ By referring back from that list to this, the linguistic affinity
+ and general geographical location of a tribe may be determined. 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>Mr. Dellenbaugh’s new book is a narrative of the United States
+ Exploring Expedition, generally known as the Second Powell Expedition
+ down the Green and Colorado Rivers from Wyoming almost forty years
+ ago; an expedition which in all these years never has been described
+ in any government publication, nor by anyone in print excepting Mr.
+ Dellenbaugh, who was a member of the party. 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>
