V The wind wa* blowing 25 miles an I tiuui at 5 Saturday morning Dr. Gilmore to Study Indian Lore Former (.urator at North Dakota Historical Museum Will Work Among Five Tribes in Missouri River Valley— Deplores Supremacy of White Man. Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. McGregor, la., Aug. 25.—Home economics of the Indians of the Mis souri river country will be the work of Dr. Melvin R. Gilmore, who re cently resigned as curator of the North Dakota Historical museum to become a member of the staff of the museum of the American Indian, Heye foundation. New York. Dr. Gilmore, while acting as in structor in Indian lore at the School of Wild Life Protection, just held on the Mississippi hills at McGregor, said: “I shall work among the Indians of the Missouri river—the Arikaras, Hidatsas and Mandans of the Da Uf°r ^y| kotas, the Omahas and Winnebagoes in Nebraska and the Pawnee nation farther south, studying their mate rial culture, of which less is known than of the Puebelos, Menominee* and many of the other North Amer ican tribes.” To Collect Articles. He will make collections of pottery, clothing and household decoration, dyestuffs and perfumes, and gather information about the home life of the Indians whom the first white men to ascend the Missouri river found living in villages and tilling corn fields along its hanks. Consider able attention will be given to col lecting data relating to the native plants which the Indians used for food, healing, perfumes, gum, dyes and in their handcrafts. While curator of the North Da kota Historical museum. Dr. Oiimore made important contributions on the subject of the Missouri river Indians to the American Bureau of Ethnology ami published a book, ‘‘Prairie Smoke,’’ dealing with the traditions of the tribes, which has attained considerable circulation. Because of the value scientists have placed upon his work and the ability to win the confidence of the red man It Indicated, Dr. Gilmore has received his appointment to the staff of the Museum of the American Indian, an Institution fcunded by Mr. Heye, a wealthy New Yorker, to aid in making records for posterity of the customs, manners and traditions of the Ameri can Indian. ''The recent attack upon Indian dances is metely an Incident in the long warfare which the whites have waged upon the reds since they land ed on the American continent," says Dr. Gilincrts. "Tlie idea of live and let live never was at plied to them, and even since the Indians finally have been cooped up in reservations, the white man has persisted In forcing his ways and customs on them. Tills usuallv han resulted in the suppres sion of what was good together with what was bad in the Indians' culture. “Fortunately while the Indian bu reau, and most of the missionaries have been ‘clvlllting’ the Indians and caching them the error of their ways, the bureau of ethnology, and organi zations such as the Museum of the American Indian, and various state historical societies and universities, have been recording the customs and traditions of the various tribes, tabu lating their songs, and describing their dances, rituals and ceremonials. Customs Losing Out. "But so rapid has been the advance of the white man and so insistent his wish to force upon the Indian white man’s ways, that there is danger much valuable material will be lost unless especial efforts are made dur ing the next few years to gather the yet unrecorded traditions and customs before they are entirely lost. "Only the old people still know the folklore, ceremonials and rituals which belonged to the tribes In times gone by. They alone are guardians of an indigenous culture that was based on nature worship, and had much poetry and beauty in it. Unless their lore can be recorded It will pass with their passing." While In McGregor, Dr. Gilmore gathered material from a band of Winnebago Indians who were en camped here for the wild life school, making baskets and bead and sliver work. They are a part of the 1.000 Wlnnebagoes, who some years ago left the Winnebago reservation in Tffurston county, Nebraska, and are living on farms in Wisconsin, tiieli original habitat.
