One of the most misunderstood in
stitutions of Indian life is the sweat
house 1t was not used as place for
religious rites, as many authorities
claim, but was exactly what it's name
implies place in which to sweat. a
simpiified Turkish bath. Before enter
ing the house the Indian always dashed
ice-cold mountain water under his arms
as q preventive of his taking cold In
cases of illness the sweathouse was
the first prescription. II the patient
died in the process of "sw eating 1t out"
the house was Immediately abandoned
and considered q polluted place with
no potence for good. Hence the num-
Der OF sweathouses in Humboldt
County.
The story Of the frightful hardships

Ing with my husband and baby we
retired and fell into the dreamless
sleep that nature gives to those who
live near to her, only to be awakened
by the discharge of guns. the screams
of women and children, and then the
silence of death. Springing from the
bed we hurriedly put on our clothes
and went out on the porch. Dawn
was just breaking and everything was
hidden In a misty haze. Soon we heard
the rush of hurried feet, and Indians,
men, women and children came tum-
bling over the fence and on the porch
for protection. All they could tell US
was that the white men had raided
their homes. And this was In times
OF peace. and these very Indians had
been working for VI but the day be.
