lgsga OUR INDIAN WOMEN.

Bronzed Citizen Tells OF His Peoples
Counting and Marriage Customs.
/ am convinced that our girls do not
love conquest in a general way along
the border land of mems hearts as do
the white girls. Hence they appear far
less coquettish in their manner. am
well settled in the belief that the at
tachment SO sacred and holy which is
IAanted in the heart of every true lover
is of divine origin, being born of the
Great Spirit, and that it is purer in the
hearts of our native girls than in those
of the civilized races. Our girls make
confdants of their mothers in their
love affairs. They are not laughed at,
plagued, and tormented about the
young men as though it were a crime
to "fall in love" (as white people call it,
but on the contrary their love affairs
are seriously considered and thought
fully talked over between mother and
daughter. Before our people became
citizens their custom of marriage was az
follows:
The mother of the maiden who had
become attached to a young man would
quietly have the matter talked over
with his mother. and if the union was
found agreeable to both families &c
cording TO an ancient custom the IA
ther and mother of the son would make
up large package of presents and take
them to the parents of the daughter
and demand her for their sons wife,
delivering the presents to them. IL
they accepted the gifts the girl was
taken home with them. On entering
their wigwam they would say to their
son: eve have brought this girl for
you a wife; take her, cherish her, be
kind 10 her, so long as you shall live"
Ind they were then and there declared
TO be husband and wife.
And yet, Notwithstanding such sim
plicity of ceremony, separations seldom
occurred The manner in which such
marriages were consummated led many
strangers to the transaction TO believe
compelled them to marry against their
wish, when in fact the mothers had
planned the scheme with the full knowl-
edge, consent and desire of the children.
As wives. our women are queens OF
the wigwam, and cases are rare where
they do not have the full confidence of
their husbands. To their care and
keeping the men give all their money
and goods, which the women use as
they think best 10 provide for the house
ho'd.-Chief Simon Pokagon, in Chau-
