The Finery of a Native Hunter in the Belgian Congo, Africa. The Congo native is an interesting study. The story of his customs, peculiarities and superstitions is a long one.
Cannibalism is supposed to no longer exist and human sacrifice is supposed to be extinct.
Between Lake Tanganyika and the mouth of the Congo is a distance of more than two thousand miles. In this area some hundred or more mission stations have been established for work among the blacks. In addition to religious training they endeavor to furnish ordinary school training and a simple technical training that will help both adults and children to carry on the simple activities of everyday life. The government has also established agricultural and technical colonies where native boys and young men may be trained. Before us stands a proud aristocrat of the Congo.
