The Indian Religion
The "Busk" is the Only Remnant
of Old Time Forms of Worship

Muskogee, Aug. I6-The relig-
ion of All Indian is often scoffed at
and in fact he is often termed a
heather. This is not true. The
Indian, before he came under the
influence of the white mans civili-
zation had a religion sweet in
simplicity and lofty in its purpose.
The remnant of this religion is
found in the busk Of the tribes in
this day, but the busk too has been
greatly and sadly changed since
the time when it represented the
consummation of the Indians ac-
tive religious belief.
The busk was originally the
Thanksgiving of the Indian. The
Indians diet was mainly corn. The
busk was held when green corn
became ripe enough to eat. On
that occasion then, there was a
busk at the square ground Of each
tribe. The dates differed running
from the middle of July to the last
of August. But it was a celebra-
tion of thanks to the Great Spirit
that he had given abundance fol
another season. When the Indians
assembled at busk in those days
il was in spirit Of reverence and
not one Of riotous feasting. That
came with civilization, On these
occasions the Indians were more
sober, thoughtful and reverent
than any other occasion. The con
stitution says every man shall wor
ship according to the dictates Of
his own conscience. The Indian
was doing this at his busk.
Chas. Gibson, the Creek histor-
ian. tells us that the square GROUND
where these ceremonies were carried
on were considered very sacred. A
drunk man was never allowed in
the tucho, as the dance ground wa:
called. no loud or boistrous talk
ing or noise was allowed near, a
dog was not allowed to cross th'
ground, as four-footed animals
were considered unclean at wor
ship, and no woman Of bad reput'
was allowed to come into th'
grounds day or night. In th'
golden days Of this simple worship
no person was allowed to take par
in the ceremonies who had eater
green corn before the buskor thanks
giving ceremonies had been hei'
and the person who ate green corr
before the black drink was admin
istered was considered a back
slider. This black draught was
violent emetic and shows that tn
Vrd;a, had an idea OF persona
self sacrifice to please the grea
spirit. The Greeks had neve
been believers in anything but th'
Great Spirit aud history tells u
not OF the time when these relig
ious customs were adopted. The.
seem to have existed from tim
immemorial.
