Resources Plant and Animal Life of In dian Days Equals Present Importations of Europe, Museum Employe Says. Lincoln, Dec. 22.—An appeal against the neglect and destruction of native American resources was made by Mel ville R. Gilniour of the Museum of the American Indian. New York city, who is here following a fiv>. months' study of Indians of the Missouri valley. “We are still strangers to the coun try," he asserted, pointing out that the white settler in America had dis regarded, and is still disregarding, plaint life that served as food for the Indian. After declaring that he had lived en tirely on food used by the Indians of Nebraska and the Dakotas, Gllmour cited as a point in case the neglect of wild rice by the American farmer, which he said had been proved to be of a high nutritive value and could he grown in swamp land that was otherwise useless. "The same ajiplies to the American lotus." he said, “which was highlv valued by the Indians. Today it is rooted up by the white man's hog. when it is really a plant that could be served on any American table. I have eaten it and It is delicious, and, like wild rice, it grows in swamp land. "We destroyed the American buf falo and put in its place European cattle that were not suited, by na ture, as the buffalo was to our cli matic conditions. We have, in the past, indiscriminately shot native feathered game and today we bring in European pheasants to replace our losses. Even in historical spots In the cast we have, as a part of a memorial, planted Norwegian maples, when the | American hard maple Is one of our finest trees. Gilmour urged that native American Indian myths be studied In the schools, "Our children study Norse myth ology. How much more appropriate for them to study our own mythology, when they know that the places men tioned are close at hand and inay be visited. Practically the only Indian mythology we now have has been man ufactured by the white man and the Indian knows nothing of it. The In dians have an excellent imaginative and unwritten literature. It shouM tie saved.” He said that during his stay with the Arlkara Indians of the Dakotas ho had learned the process by which they worked over glass secured from traders' beads. "It has long been known that this tribe could work over glass." he said, ' but the process had been unsolved. When T asked why glass beads should be worked over, I was told that they werd too large and were made up again into smaller beads of more varying colors.’’ Indiana of the agricultural r^ions, before the white man came, had de veloped a real system of barter, he said. Indians of the arid plains trad ed furs and game for the corn of,the Indian of the rich agricultural belt. Asked if the Indian race in the Missouri valley would be extinct in a few years, he said that, on the con trary, the .Sioux tribo was Increasing in numbers and tho Omaha Indians were about holding their own. "However, the Mandans, the Ari knras and the Hidatsas are going, because their numbers were so great ly decreased before they became ac customed to our civilisation." Mr. CJilmour has concluded his study for the year and goes from here to New Vo^k, where he will cor relate his material gained during the summer. He has been on the staff of the Museym of tho American In dian since June 30, and prior to that time was curator of the North Dako ta State Historical society. He holds a doctor’s degree from the University of Nebraska, having secured it In im. Y. M. C. A. Plans Holiday Program Free Movies Every Afternoon to Be Shown in Bttys’ Division.
