THE DAKOTA INDIANS.

Traits Of Character.
To the missionaries and teachers Of
the far northwest-rangingi in denomi-
nation from Catholic to Unitarian, but
all animated by the same high purpose
is due. more even than to the soldier,
the pacification of the vanquished ma
ton of the Dakotas.
In the prosecution of their work what
did these self-sacrifcing men find?
They found. once they had gained the
Indians confidence. that be was not all
vicious, violent and bloodthirsty.
They found that, unlike his white
brother. he pever swore. He never
took in vain the name of the Great
Spirit, nor even the names Of any of the
numerous subordinate deities to whom
he believed that the supreme God dele
gated supernatural powers.
If he disliked a thing. he simply
called it bad: if it pleased him. it was
good. To him whisky. the curse of his
kind, was mini-sica, bad water-only
that and nothing more.
The missionaries found also that the
Dakota in general was good husband,
loving father and faithful friend.
Save as stratagem of war. he scorned
and abhorred lie.
He combined the attributes of hero
| with the foibles, extravaganza and fol-
lies of an overgrown bog. He was inn
provident. careless. inconsistent.
With the toothache he could shed
tears of anguish. Place him in the
hands of his foes. let him be staked to
the ground and fire kindled on his
breast and the same man would die
without a moan, chanting his death
song defantly to the last breath.
The Dakota was likewise found to be
communist. in the literal sense Of
the word Whatever he had, belonged,
and was cheerfully given, to any other
membe of the tribe.
