GEOGRAPHY COURSE COURSE IN "INDIAN GEOGRAPHY AND INDUSTRY" OFFERED STUDY OF THE NATIVE TRIBES ) Course to B Given Next Semester by Dr. H. R. Gilmore of the Nebraska State His torical Society Next semester the Department of Geography will offer a new course which it seta forth as "Indian Geog raphy and Industry." It is a study of the life and activities of the American race as developed previous to the ad vent of the white man. This study brings out the facts of the material and intellectual culture of the native tribes as influenced by the factors of topography, climate, woodlands and grasslands, and other features of phys ical environment The character and distribution of plant and animal life are Important elements of influence on the forms and tendencies of human activities. A comparison is made of the primitive environment of human life on this continent and that on the continent of Europe as means of supplying the requirements of human life; equiva lents and deficiencies are. noted. For instance, the lack of any beast of burden .except the dog Ja a. deficiency of North America which was of the greatest importance as a limitation upon certain lines of progress. Neces sarily the development of arts and in dustries depends much upon the na ture of the environment. Specific in stances cited in the course bring out this fact. In the consideration of plants of economic value to the native tribes suggestions occur for acquisitions to our own agriculture and horticulture. Nebraska, no less than classic lands, possesses a body of legends and myths smacking of the soil. Tribal place names, some of which we have adopted into our own nomen clature and others which might be adopted, have each their story of hu man interest to tell. This course will be given by Dr. IL R. Gilmore of the State Historical 8ociety. Dr. Gilmore is recognized as an authority in the study of the In dians' life of the Missouri Valley country. Students In the University of Nebraska are fortunate In having opportunity to take work with him. MR.
