INDIAN TRADITION.
what the Nntchcz Indians Believe
About sun Worship.

The strange legendary tradition
among the Natchez Indians concerning
the descent of their royal family from
the sun is thus partly explained by lie
Page du Pratt in his "lIistoire de la
Louisiana" He had questioned an old
man of the nation, keeper of the
Natchez temple in which was kept
burning constantly their sacrifice"
asking him whence the Natchez people
had come originally. THE tradition"
Oancienne parole), replied the keeper
of the temple, does not tell of the land
from which we came; all that il teaches
us is that our forefathers came to this
land followed the sun and came with
HIM from where he rises; that they
were a long time on their journey, were
on the point of dying, all of them, and
that they found themselves carried into
this country without looking for 1t. Do
not ask me more concerning this thing"
said the keeper. for the tradition says
nothing more on the subject. and no
old man will tell you more than what
l have told you" Does this imply a
flight of surviving band Of mound
builders from the east of the United
States, or is il an obscure and distorted
tradition of the march Of the children
Of Israel from the bondage of Egypt 10
the promised land, led on their weary
Journey through the wilderness by the
mystical pillar Of fire and fed i'm their
extremity with mama from Heaven?
