There are many tribes among the Amers-
can Indians, but year by year their numbers
are decreasing The home Of the civilized
and partially civilized remnants OF the once
powerful and warlike Indian tribes is known
as the Indian territory, and contains what
are called reservations, on which the variou.
tribes dwell. Agents representing the United
States live among these tribes with a view to
their further advancement and protection
Many Of tho tribes have settled down in com
parative contentment and follow agricultural
pursuits for livelihood and have become
quite civilized. Others, from their naturally
fierce and warlike dispositions, continue to
givo more or less trouble to the government.
Among the latter may be named the Utes in
Colorado and the Apachcs in New Mexico.
Our cut represents Ute squaw and h,ar
papoose, or baby. Tho Utes Gro tribe X
tho Shoshones or Snakes, are migratory In
their hai,:s and great hunters. They enjoy
wandering about the country and are to be
found in New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and
Colorado. When a Ute squaw takes up her
line of march she straps the little papoose to
her back. In the cut she is holding the in
FAINT in her arms, so that our young people
may have a picture Of the faces Of both
mother and child.
