GIFTS FROM THE zUN|s.
The Presidents Popularity Extends
Out as Far as the Zuni Reser.
vation.

Washington dispatches tell of the re-
ceipt by President Roosevelt of unique
gifts sent him by the Zuni Indians
The account is as follows:
The Zuni Indians of New Mexico
have heard that President Roosevelt Is
a great hunter and friend of the In
dian, and they have honored him with
the most select gifts in their posses
sion. Chief Naiuchi, the great head Of
the Zunis, recently gave to Mrs. M. C..
Stephenson, an ethnologist of the
Smithsonian institution, collection of
things to bring to the President as
testimonial of esteem for the Great
White Father" and Mrs. Stephenson
fulfilled her mission yesterday.
She gave the President necklace of
bears claws, one of the most highly
priZed of the ornaments of the Zunis
and a comparatively rare thing. The
necklace is composed of the claws of
many big bears, put together with
cloth and strings Another present is
a god of music of the Zunis, grotes-
que affair made of wood, paints, feath-
ers, strings, etc., and holding in his
hand the flute with which the god is
to soothe the savage soul.
The god is about eighteen inches
high and his name is Paiyatyamo. A
third present was bunch of prayer
plumes, as they are called. This is
bunch of feathers of gaudy colors. The
Indians breathe their prayers into
these plumes and stick the bunch into
The ground. The spiritual essence Of
the plume carries the prayers to the
indian god The fact that the Zunis re-
gard the President with immense fav-
Dr. is that they seldom part with their
gods of music.
The President was pleased and di-
rected Mrs. Stephenson to turn the
presents over to the Smithsonian for
Mrs. Stephenson has spent
much time among the Zunis and will
nave charge of the government exhib-
It of these Indians at st. Louis.
