The NATIVE TRIBES of NORTH AMERICA

BT JOHN DUNN, ESQ.

I anxiously availed myself of a favourable op-
portunity to obtain some insight into the real
state of the Natives of North America. I knew
from a thousand sources, that they hunted, and

'ought, and harangued ; that they danced and

sung, and amused themselves with various sports;

but I was at a loss to know whether they were
satisfied with those exertions of their powers, or

amused themselves in their hours of leisure, be
preen the busy acts of life, with exercises of me

mory, invention, and fancy ; whether they laugl
ed and wept at fictitious tales as we do, and cm
jured up the forms of imaginary beings to diver
and instruct them. Not content with peeing the
bark of a wig-wam, and the outside ceremonial
exhibited to strangers, I wished to know what
passed in its recesses, and in the hearts of its in-
habitants. My wishes were, in this respect, fully
gratified by the friendship of a Miami Chief, who,
adopting me according to their custom, in the
place of a deceased friend, by whose name I was
distinguished, entered warmly iutp my views, and
gave me his confidence. I have derived from him
a great deal of information relative to his coun-
trymen, which I at least think interesting. For the
present I shall confine myself to notices respecting
this friendly Chief, and some of the works of
Indian fancy, which he communicated, with the
addition of a few general remarks upon Indian
language. In the examples I have selected for
the view of my friends, I have preserved the inci-
dents of fidelity, as he related them ; but, unless
I could represent them on paper with the united
power of an actor and an improvisatore, an actor
too, that extends his imitations even to animals,
it would be impossible to give an idea of the ex-
pressive effect of his relations.
TheChiel I speak of is the celebratedTchicleana-
koa, who commanded, the united Indians at the
defeat of General St. Clair ; an uncommon Man ;
for with the talents and fame e)f an accomplished
warrior, he is the uniform supporter of peace and
order among ,five or sit tribes who put their trust
in him ; simple, wise, temperate, ardent in his
pursuits ; speaking different languages eloquently ;
attached to the hereditary Chief of his Tribe,
whom he, 'supports, though he might supplant ;
preserving his dignity ardong the vulgar of every
rank, by a correct reserve; to his friend, as it
were, unembodied, showing all the movements of
his soul, gay, witty, pathetic, playful by turns, as
his feelings are drawn forth by natural occasions :
above all things sincere.- Such is the outline of
the character of that nobly-endowed Indian, who
gratified my curiosity by recitals of the_tales and
fables of his countrymen, of which the following
are a specimen :—\Vhile the weapons, dresses, and
trinkets of these people find their way Into our
Cabinets, these ornaments, drawn from the In-
dian wardrobe of the mind, the dresses in which
they exhibit the creations of their fancy, may, by
some, he thought not incurious.* The North
American Indians • have no other, for, far to the
southward of the Missouri,as I have been informed,
and from thence to the Northern Ocean, they have
no idea of poetry, as it derives its character from
rhyme or measure. Their songs are short entho-
siotic sentences, subjected to no laws of compo•
accompanied by monotonous music, either
rapid or slow, according to the subject, or the
fancy of the singer. Their apologises are nume-
rous and ingenious, abounding withfincidents, Nod
are all calculated to convey some 'favourable les-
son. The tales, too, generally inculcate some
• moral truth, or some maxim of prudence or po-
licy. 1 recollect one where the misfortunes of a

great Chief are so linked .with his vices, and wind
up so fatally at last, that a than of worth, whom
he sought to oppress, is, by his own agency,
made the Instrument of his destruction, and es-
tablished as his successor. The private virtues of
this successor, particularly his respect for .the
other sex, the want of which was the great vice
of. his predecessor, is made the foundation of his
fame, and of the prosperity which attended bins
through tile. :This is one of the tales of the, wo-
men. Another addressed to the youth, teaching
theM how to avoid or overcome those often fatal
panics to which unforeseen accidents inshe woods
expose young hunters i.this is done by enumerat-
ing the terrifying
.appearances most likely tooc-
' cur, and accounting farthem in a natural way..J-

The Indians have their Circe as well as the
Greeks ; she is very seducing, and 'the fate 'of her
votaries very terrible; the strokes of the pencil
by which she is drawn are very Mastery, bar the
tales respecting this lady are only calculated for
the ears of the men. This people, worthy a bet-
ter fate, are gradually degenerating and wasting
assay; I have seen an Indian nation already so
degraded, that it cannot produce a single orator.
half a century will efface their best peculiarities,
and, so multiplied are the causes of their decline;
perhaps extinguish them altogether. The dark
cloud from the east, (the strong painting of the
Miami Chief) dashing against our coast, bursting
on our shores, and at length drifting its wreck in
broken, but still spreading and advancing, masses
over our land, has not only destroyed t na-
tions of Indians, but has cankered, and witheted,
and blasted whatever is left that bears the Indian.
name." If it be true, that a taste for pleasures
not merely sensual, refines those sensibilities that
conduct to the extremes of happiness or misery,
perhaps the slight view I have given in the fol-
lowing pages, of the innocent amusements of the
Indian people, may 'furnish au additional locative
:o treat them, with humanity. The only excuse
for the harsh dominion assumed by man over the
brutes, is, that the stroke which deprives them of
'existence is neither painfully anticipated nor
long the subject of surviving regret. It is far
different with the Indian ; his anticipations are
terrible ; he sees his approaching ruin, be sees
it appalled ;- it haunts him in his solitude,
him with bitterneis when lie beholds his devoted'
children. 'The tales of-his ancestors rectal its first
distant approaches- Thqsbund of the axe in the
neighbouring forest tells him it is at hand ! Un-
der circumstances so awful, I was anxious to
snatch up a few slight memorials of this people,
before tileir fateshould befinally sealed. It is a. part
of the destiny of an unlettered people, to write
their memorials with the pen of a stranger. They
have no alternative, imperfect representation, or
blank oblivion. But of whom are we speaking ?
Who are these evanescent tribes ? and -in what
class of created beings is posterity to place them ?
ask the Abenaki, he will tell you, describing him-
self by the name of his nation, that he is the
man of the land ; ask the Illinois, he will tell
you boldly, he is lnini, (sometimes pronounced
the man ; ask the Iroquois, he claims to
be onghi onsci, the real man ; ask the numerous
nations who speak the Algonquin tongue, their
pretensions advance, .for they assert they are
Nishinapek, (their common name,) doubly men;
ask their Spanish neighbours, they call them bar-
barian infidels; ask the American frontier settler,
(whom they style Kichimucoman, literally long
knife,) by him they are denominated savage,—
'the Canadian too affirms, Ce soul des sauvages ; ask
the Nits, the Raynals, and those other wise melt
of Europe, who without ever having seen the
-smoke of an Indian village, take time trouble, at
ihree thousand miles distance, to dogmatize and
write volumes upon their nature, powers, and
capacities, physical, moral, and intellectual ; these
great men will tell you they are an inferior race
of men. To what opinion shall we hold ? what
constitutes a man ? what energies entitle him to
rank high in his species ? if a well-organized
brain, 'a bosom stored with natural feelings and
affections ; if a body active and enduring, a pas-
sion for sports, a love for manly pleasures; if con-
tempt of danger, the firm grasp of friendship, the
tire of eloquence, the devotion to' a country ; if
the combinations, more or less varied, of these`
active, heroic, and social virtues, are the charAc-
teristics of a man, Ido from my soul believe the
Indian testimony ; the man of the land is a man,
a real man, and not _of that inferior race of men,
conceived by the philosophers.
Observe t ()Qat what time this estimate of Its-
titan talent is made, while the Indian is yet in
his infancy, and in his gristle ; with a scanty
agriculture; no pastoral riches, his resource the
wilderness.; less advanced inthe paths of civilized
life than the half-lettered (heels tribes, wiien
they first united andel the banners of Agamem-
non ; those very tribes who a few centuries after-
wards reptaced the names of Achilles, Ulysses„
and Nestor, with those of Epaminondos, Plato
and. Homer. I have named Hower, but certainly
without any profane allusion ; the simple re-
ductions here communicated ate time fit st
ings of genius ; such tales and tables as might
have passed current at the Scan gate, or he-
tided the hours at the ships, or under the tents
at the scamander. Though the age of Homer
would have disclaimed them, may they not re-
semble the amusements of the age of Hauler's.
