THE PASSING indian
CAUSES LEADING TO THE Elk.
JUNCTION OF THE RACE.
Though a Hardy People They Are
Living Under the Most Adverse
Conditions Possible-soon
All Will Be Gone.

Our North American Indians are re.
garded by scientists as a hardy race
The correctness of this classification
seems to be fully sustained by the fact
that under the most adverse conditions
possible, the vital statistics Of the
tribes show comparatively small loss
over gain. This loss, however, it may
be observed, goes on year after year.
and is gradually accomplishing the ex-
tinction of families and tribes. and
constantly bringing nearer the final in
evitable extinction Of the race
To those acquainted with the Indian
in his native state, and aware by per-
sonal contact of the unfavorable self
imposed conditions in his daily life.
there seems no greater wonder than
that the entire race has not long since
ceased to exist. No more rigorous con-
dition tending to undermine health
and tax physical strength could be de-
vised than those that commonly pre-
vail among these people.
The nomadic Navajoes, occupying
the mountain region of Arizona. and
living the simple life to which they are
necessarily confined. would seem to en-
JOY the means of perfect physical de-
velopment and a natural safeguard
against the common ills to which poor
humanity is heir. But the utter disre-
gard of healthful habits prevalent
among them utterly nullifes these adj
vantages.
Usually considerable number OF
these people gather about the military
stations along the border, where they
exc out a miserable existence as scav-
engers OF the shampies and garbage
dumps. Among these unwelcome visit
ors the writer recalls a young Navajo
who remained for come months at
frontier military station. During the
summer the young Indian slept in the
forest adjoining the station, and in the
winter upon the fiat mud roof of log
building occupied ~ a company of sol [

diers. Wrapped in a single blanket he
lay on the lee side of a great stick
chimney, from which he possibly OBJ
tanned some warmth, and in inclement
weather some protection from the rain
and the snow. He came down from
his aerie each morning, sometimes wet
from the rain or melting snow, and al
ways numb from the cold. He was
little worse off, however, in these re-
spects, than the great body of his
people, among whom the practice W
common to sleep where night found
them, without regard to protection
from rain or cold, unless some natural
provisions were found on the spot
Unfortunately, the Navajo people
furnish no exception to the common
practice Of self-imposed hardships
among all our aboriginal inhabitants.
When Sitting Bull and his Sioux
followers camped near Fort Randall,
soon after the Rosebud war, they pre-
pared no protection for themselves or
their families from the severe weather
of Dakota winter, except that af-
| forded by canvas or skin covered
| tepees. 1t was no uncommon thing to
see them moving about in their en-
campment during the winter, wading
through the snow in their bare feet,
their naked bodies covered only by
| thin wooden blankets of native Weav-
ing. Their children the meanwhile en-
| gagged without restraint in out door
amusements and with seemingly little
! discomfort from the cold. The boys es-
| pecially spent much of their time out
Of doors, engaged principally in coast
ing down a little declivity near the en-
campment Seated on smooth pieces of
bark, they glided down the icy declivi-
ty with as much apparent pleasure as
though they were The children of civ
ili2ation. Among them one little urch
in was accustomed to use a small tin
dinner plate as his means of rapid
transit. Before each descent he was
careful to arrange a fold of his blan-
ket upon the plate to serve for a seat.
1t not unfrequently happened, how
ever, that the fold became displaced,
and in such case he went down with a
part of his bare person in contact
with the smooth, icy surface Of the de-
clivity. But 1t is needless to multiply
illustrations OF the tendency Of the In
dian habit to unhealthy conditions.
Such tendency is found. without ex-
ception, in every aboriginal commun-
ity.
