Why They Rejected the Potomac Water
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
1 beg leave to correct statement which have
recently seen repeated in the columns OF THE STAR,
namely: That the water taken from the Potomac
river by the Zufii Indians on the occasion OF their
trip to the tomb OF Washington, was carried with
them back to Zuiii. They took the water from the
Potomac because they believed it a part of the
ocean and were indignant at not taking supply
from Lake Michigan during their visit to Chicago,
as they thought the lake must be portion OF the
ocean; also they abandoned the water from the
Lotomac on timing IL fresh, and therefore, hot
The Moqui Indian, Na-na-he, returned with his
colleagues to Zuhi; the head chief, Pa-la-wah-ti-
with me- to assist In the preparation of paper
for the bureau of ethnOOgy on the SociologIc in
stitutions or governmental system OF the Zufi ma
tion am with respect, very truly yours.
