THE COCOPA INDIANS.
A Primitive Agricultural
The Lower Colorado am
Their Customs.

The Cocopa Indians OF the io"er
Colorado Tin both Baia Callforhis a"o
Sonora1 are OF interest partly because
they have practically escaped at'en-
ton on the part of scientific in'es'i-
gators until within a few months anu
partly because of the customs whien
distinguish them from most nelghoor-
ing tribes. They are essentially an
agricultural folk. though their agricul-
ture il of the most primitive sor'' ar
fording. indeed. better picture OF
prehistoric agricultural methods IMAM
those of anv other known tribe. says
the New York Tribune. Their customs
well Illustrate. too, the dependence OF
primitive industries, modes or me-
and even habits of thought, on sur
roundings: for, like the fellaheen OF
the lower Nile. they are creatures Oh
the river along which they live, driven
from the bottom lands by the annual
freShets. and brough: back by ensuing
droughfs to plant anew in the soil fer
tilted by the annual silt deposit.
Perhaps of primary interest among
their customs is their disposal of the
dead. They not only distribute the
property OF the deceased among non
relatives. but burn the body and the
habitation together. \ considerable
part Of the tribal lore is connected
with the nortuary custom; and GUS
tom and lore together afford remark
able insight into the esoteric lie ot
primitive peoples.
