! Their marriage ceremony Is quite sim

obtain the affection of their chosen ones
before marriage; but all that is really
needed is to make present Of sufficient
value to the parents. The girl is taken
by her father and brothers to the house
Of her destined husband, at sunset. and
after being blessed by the Medicine
Man, they are made to lie dowr together,
with their feet downwards TIL sunrise,
and this makes them husband and wife.
We saw many Of their gravcs, which
are platforms, about nine feet high, on
which is placed the coffin containing the
body, clothed in the finest blankets, and
with his weapons and pipe BY his side.
A platform is erected for each coffin.
The Indians trade good deal among
themselves, exchanging thir horses,
weapons, &C., and they will readily part
with any article Of their own make for an
equivalent in cutlery or cash
