THE INDIAN FALSE FACE
11 In Worn In Ceremonial Dnncex
and In Often Grotesque
The masks or false flicks that Indians
tiso in ceremonial dances are often gro
tesque in the extreme The specimen
shown in tho accompanying picture is
one that was once used by British Co
lumbia Indians and It has a mouth
that opens and shuts and eyes that roll
nt tho will of the wearer thus adding
much to the weird effect the mask
gives when worn In the performance of
a wild and strange ceremonial The
average American boy would give any
thing he possessed to have such a mask
to wear on Halloween and indeed
there is some appropriateness in don
ning such a disguise on such an oc
casion for It is then that spirits are al
leged to be abroad perpetrating strange
and whimsical acts and terrifying the
wicked or superstitious and these false
faces are commonly believed by their
Indian owners to be the dwelling places
UASK MADE BT BRITISH COLUMBIA IN
DIANS
of spirits Amongsome tribes they are
worn In dances which are Intended to
drive away the bad spirits
The British Columbia Indians who
are famous for their totem poles are
quite expert in the making of false
faces of exceptionally grotesque aspect
Their strange form of construction Is
not caused by the Indians desire to
make something which will appear
queer or funny to the white man but
Is due to his aim to create something
carrying out the Ideas of the tribe about
mythological characters or the animals
that are held in special regard or rever
ence The masks which the Zunis of
Arizona and New Mexico make are as
grotesque in their way as those of the
British Columbia Indians though of
altogether different appearance The
false face was a popular Institution
among the Iroquois tribes and to this
day on the reservations in New York
and Canada the false face takes a
prominent part in certain ceremonials
At the New Years festival which the
Iroquois observe in February the false
face dance is an important function
and in connebtion with It ashes are
sprinkled on the heads of the sick to
drive away the bad spirits supposed to
be afflicting them with disease
