Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ojibway: A Novel of Indian Life, of the Period of the Early Advance of Civilization in the Great Northwest When the shades of evening were beginning to close in on a May day about the middle of the century just ended, an Indian hunter on the lonely shores of Gull Lake, in what is now the State of Minnesota, was warned by the increasing gloom that it was time for him to turn his steps homeward. He had been all day hunting ducks to provide food for the loved ones, and a well-filled bag which hung from his back suspended by a deer hide strap showed that his efforts had not been in vain. His gun was on his shoulder, and at his feet was his faithful dog, who had so many times that day dashed into the water and brought to land the mallards which the sure aim of his master's gun had deprived of life. He seemed to share his master's opinion that it was about time to think of supper and a place to sleep, for when the master ceased scanning the lake for ducks and took a long look toward the place where his wigwam should be, turning his steps toward it, the dog gave a joyous bark and scampered ahead in that direction. As he ran on he ever and anon looked round with joyous face to his master, his meaning being as plain as if he had spoken it: "That's right, master; it is time to go to home and supper."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Museum Stories for Children, Vol. 21: September-December, 1933 One of the chief arts of the North American Indians is that of weaving blankets. When the Spaniards came to our country they found beautiful blankets and fine weaving among the Pueblo and Navaho Indians of the southwest. Perhaps these Indians learned this art from their neighbors to the south; or they may have originated it themselves because they needed and sought something better than mere skins for clothing. In the early days, the Hopi Indians wove principally their own cotton to which they added some fibers of the yucca plants and animal hairs. When sheep were introduced by the Spaniards, they began to use a little wool. Their weaving is more complicated than that of other tribes. They not only produce a plain weave, but a checked one, and another which shows a repeated figure, usually a diamond. Among the Hopis it is the men who do most of the weaving of the blankets, shawls, sashes, and clothing. A lovely custom is still followed in weaving the bride's clothing. After the most important of the wedding ceremonies, the bridegroom' s father distributes cotton to all his men relatives and friends. They spin and weave this cotton for the bride, working for several days or weeks. During that time, the bride stays with her husband and his family helping to cook and feed the weavers. Very carefully and beautifully the men weave a large White robe, a small white robe, and a wide, white belt with long fringe. When all are finished the bride wraps the small robe about herself, puts on white buck-skin boots and prepares to go to her mother's house where the young couple make their home for a while. She carries the large robe and belt in a rolled mat made of reeds bound together. After the wedding she uses the robes on ceremonial occasions and finally, the small one is wrapped around her body when death takes the little Indian woman to Maski, the Home of Hopi Souls. The Indians of the northwest coast seem to delight in color and movement. Perhaps their main thought is of the clan or family symbol which is expressed 1n totem poles, house fronts, house interiors, canoes, boxes and blankets. The Chilkats weave the most beautiful, fantastic blankets full of myths, and made in three colors - black, yellow and greenish blue. Although the women weave the blankets they are not supposed to be familiar with the designs and so copy them from patterns which have been drawn on boards by the men. The design containsthe clan emblem and is usually of one or several animals so highly conventionalized that the Indians themselves can hardly explain them.
