23122 Indian Woman Baking Bread, New Mexico Indian mothers have many things to do just as your mothers do. Some Indian women weave rugs and blankets. Some make bead work and many kinds of embroidery. Some make pottery. These women are baking bread. After the corn meal has been mixed and prepared, the women built a fire in the bottom of the earthen oven. When the oven was hot, they raked the coals out and put the bread in. To keep the oven hot, they put a flat stone over the opening and sealed it shut with mud/ There they left the bread for many hours. It baked slowly as it would in a modern fireless cooker. Doesn't it look good? In what kind of a house do these women* live? Look carefully at the dress the one woman wears. It is of dark blue, finely woven cloth and has a colored border around the edges. The women wear Indian shoes called mocassins. They are made of white buckskin. At the back long strips of leather are fastened and these are wound around the leg. Women prepare the skins and make the shoes for the family. Do you see anything else in the picture which might have been made by an Indian woman*? * Not the term used in the original text.

The beautiful tents of the Blackfeet were made of skins for many many years. Now they are made of canvas. The same poles are used now as in the olden times. Do you know why the tepee is left open at the top? The woman and little girl in the tent opening have put on their finest dresses to have their picture taken.

v23247 Indian Talking to a Cowboy in Sign Language This cowboy is looking for his herd of cattle. On his long ride over the plain he has met two Indians. The Indians want to find out something but they cannot talk with the cowboy. So they use the sign language. Did you ever try to make people understand by signs? What do you suppose the Indians are trying to say? It is something about a number. Do you suppose they have lost three steers from their herd and are asking the cowboy about them? What else do you think they ,ight be saying? Indians used sign language and picture writing to tell of their great hunts and of their wars. They wrote the stories on skins. Sometimes they sent picture writing to their enemies. If there was a tiny picture of a snake anywhere on the skin it was a warning that the enemy shoulf be ware of trouble. Can you make a picture writing of this sentence, "Boy shoots deer"? Copyright The Keystone View Co. |

23347 Indian Warriors in Council When you play Indian do you ever have a powwow? Powwow is another name for council. These Indian men are having a council* If this had been long ago when your great-grandfathers were little children this might have been a war council This Indian men have their war shields* On the shields are the war feathers and the sign or totem of the owner. The second man from the left has a calumet. This is the tall feather-covered wand. Messengers from one tribe to another had to carry a calumet so that everyone would know their business and do them no harm. Whenever Indians met in council a pipe was always necessary. Sometimes it was a piece pipe. But always it was passes and smoked to show that an important matter had been settled. Smoking a special pipe does not bind us to keep a promise. How do you show that we mean to keep our word? Did you ever hear a man say when he has made a promise, "Here is my hand on it"? * Not the original text. Copyright The Keystone View Co. |
