Indian Jewelry. .
Criminal authorities can base their
decisions on the shape of an ear, or the
lines of a finger print Museum author
ities can baae their ; knowledge of the
popularity of exhibits, upon finger prints
not one, but many.
After a busy day in the Omaha museum
you can pick out the most) popular ex
hibit In the room, by the collection of
finger prints on the glass above it In
the summer the honors are pretty evenly
divided between the collection of birds,
and some of the Indian exhibits. A study
of the glass of these cases shows the
aVerage. age of the majority of the
museum visitors to be between S and 15
years, with a large proportion of them of
the jam or otherwise sticky-fingered
class. '
Almost every day the Indian' room
draws the most of these. Arrows, spears
and all kinds of other Indian weapons
are as interesting now as they must have
been in the days when they were in com
mon use. There is a Uberal scattering of
finger prints over the cases containing
bows, arrows and quivers of the Sioux
Indians, as well as the one full of scalp
locks, spears and war clubs. .
The one spot however, that , is never
absolutely clean, is on a ease of Indian
Jewelry end ornaments the section , of
glass Just over a bear's claw . necklace.
This is a beautiful specimen, a string-of
thirty bears' claws, with a ruff of soft
brown fur. This was worn only by the
more prominent men of the plains tribes.
Other ornaments were breast plates made
of the small leg bones of the deer, beau
tiful' y polished. A queer little necklace Is
of porcupine quills with a pendant at the
end, of beads and thimbles, strung to
gether, so that the thimbles rattle.
In these attempts at ornament there is
something much more Interesting than we
find in the decorations in preparation for
war.1 War bonnets' and decorated, war
shirts were not ' supposed to be purely
ornamental but in these bits of jewelry
we find the impulse which expresses itself
in our gold and silver and arts and crafts
work of today. The Indian needed no
such elaborate material for, his jewelry.
Plum pits strung on a leather strip form
one necklace, curly squirrel bones an
other elks' teeth and beads form a third.
Bits of colored stone, colored glass, por
cupine quills, brightly colored; pennies,
shells, thimbles, bits of tin and brass
anything that was brightly colored or
rattled, seemed to satisfy the decorative
instinct.
This love of color Is shown in the oat.
terns of beadwork on squaw dresses.
moccasins and vests. Those for actual
use are scarcely decorated: those in.
tended for ceremonial occasions are more
elaborately embroidered in gay patterns
ana bright colors. Some very artistic
pieces of (work are produced, and if the
Indian bad been given materials which
seem artlstlo in our eyes, there would be
very little work which could not pass
muster according to our standards.
Of course, there Is the renulsiv aid
of an exhibit like thl in the Indian room
and many do not care to look at rMu
made or worn by'those dirty Indiana"
Those who, still have disagreeable mem
ories of that race may be pardoned for
seeing nothing beautiful In their work.
To the average visitor, . however, a large
part of the. Indian exhibit has a great
attraction.
As an example of really beautiful
work, take the pair of moccasins in th
first case in the Indian room the pair of
green leather, covered with a, pattern of
red, ; white and green beadwork, and
with a fringe which requires a second
glance to recognize as bits of tin pounded
into funnel-shaped ornaments. Or take
that saddle blanket with wM Wr.-..
- -w T' M U UVIUVI
of heavy beadwork in blue and white.
In spite of the rather vivid color, the
workmanship and the pattern make it
really beautiful piece of work.
After all, it is only a question of ideals.
and in this respect the Indians were differ
ent from ours, but were faithfully carried
out and much more carefully than is a
great deal of the so-called artistic work
done by other races. 'And if the ma
Jority rule, perhaps these things, ad
mired by Indians, are not so severely
criticised by the average museum visitor.
We are looking for interesting relics of
a race that is rapidly passing Into his
tory, and if some of the more popular
exhibits witness the finger marks give
us disagreeable thrills, still they are
characterist c. of the race, and are more
apt to be remembered as "real Indian
relics."
