|
23315 Indian Fur Camp on The Plains The tepee in this picture is made of canvas. In the old days it would have beenmade of buffalo skin. In front ot it stands the old Sioux chief, who owns the outfit. One of his hunters sits near by. The camp is a hunting camp. Skins are hung from the bows of the wagon and are also pegged out on the ground. After the hunter has brought his skins to his permanent camp, the Indian woman* gets them ready for use or for sale. She does it by a process of scraping, beating, rubbing with brains, and finally by chewing. No other pelts are so soft or so finely dressed as those prepared by an Indian Woman.

V23204 Navajo Indian Home on the Desert Indians live in many parts of our country. Some live in the East. Some live on the plains in the Middle States of our country. Some live in the Northwest and some live in the Southwest. In the Southwest they live in the deserts and mountains. In this picture you see a home of Navajo Indians. It is called a hogan. No one knows when these Indians first came to Arizon. They have always lived in the dry, sandy plains that we call a desert. The Navajos build their homes near a gully where there is waterr. They carry their house poles with them wherever they go. Grass and sagebrush are pulled up and used as other Indians use canvas and skins. In the winter the Navajos dig a deep hole like a cellar in the sand. They drive the poles much deeper. Then thicker grass and brush are put on the poles and mud is plastered over the outside. This makes the hogan warmer. Do you see the weaving frame in the inside of the tent? Every Navajo home has such a weaving frame for the womaen make beautiful rugs and blanks. Many dollar's worth are sold by them every year. Copyright The Keystone View Co. |

23344 Old Navajo Indian Woman Making Rug on a Primitive Loom You are inside a Navajo home, which is sometimes called a hogan. Do you see the poles that hold the roof and the thatch of grass and straw that shows between the poles? In what part of the country does the Navajo Indian live? The old Navajo Indian woman* is making a rug. Did you ever weave a little mat? If you did you will know how this Indian weaves ther thread in and out between the long threads called the wrap. Long before white people lived in our country the Navajos made rugs and blankets of wool. They were so closely woven that water would never soak through them. Nowadays so many people want these rungs and blanks that the Indian womem* do not have enough time to prepare enough wool, so they use cotton threads for warp. Often the rugs are not woven as closely as they use to be. Nowadays the women often have to buy their dyes instead of making them from plants and vegetables. If you have never seen a Navajo rung, look for one when your father or mother takes you to an art museum. Draw a picture of this rug as you think it will look when finished.

What other kinds of Indian homes do you know? What differences do you see? Why do some Indians build houses of mud and some build houses of skin? What difference does the place whereIndians build their homes make in the kinds of the homes they build? In how many different ways can these Indians get in and out of their homes?

Why do they have to be hung there? Do you see something else in the picture that the Indians will use for food some day? What do you think they will do with the large feathers?

P259 (V14900) A Japanese Home

V14900 A Japanese Home This is a busy day in this Japanese home. The barley has been cut and brought in from the fields. Now it is mother's work to get the barley ready to use for food. She and her oldest daughter have set up the hackles that look like big combs. By pulling the barley through the teeth of the hackles the heads of the grain are pulled off. Tha stalks are laid carefully on one side. They will be used later to cover the roofs of sheds or perhaps houses. Such roofs are called thatched roofs. What kind of a roof has this house? Today sister must take care of the baby. Do you see her with the baby tied on her back? She ties her stash around him in the morning and caries him like that all day. His little head bobs back and forth, but he is happy. He even takes his nap o his sister's back. When the Japanese go out in the rain or sun they carry big paper umbrellas. They use paper for many more things than we do. The windows in this house are made of paper and even some of the walls are of oiled paper. Can you tell something else about Japanese houses?
