sites has been undertaken and several
ready been published.
1t happens that at present the majority
of the members of the bureaus staff are
in Washington working up their field
operations and preparing the results for
publication. The researches of the past
summer extended to tribes and antiquities
in Alaska, British Columbia Ontario
California, Arizona. New Mexico, Texas,
Oklahoma. Minnesota Louisiana and
Florida. large Part of the force has
been engaged in preparing articles for the
handbook of the Indians, which is a re-
view or summary of all'that has been so
far collected concerning the tribes This
work is regarded as preliminary to a Sc
ries of handbooks treating of several i'm
po-tant subdivisions of the subject in
greater detail, some of these being al
ready far advanced toward completion.
These handbooks relate to the history of
the tribes, to the languages, to the arts
and industries, to social and govern
mental institutions, to the religions. to
the, folklore, to the physical and mental
characters, to the sign languages. land
cessions, archaeology. etc. The handbook
OF languages is now nearly ready for the
press and several others are well adj
vanced. Meantime the field Investigations
are going on in various directions with a

view to filing gaps in the information and
of making the acquaintance of larger
number of tribes.
Already about eighty volumes have been
published These are comprised in four
series-annual reports bulletins, contribu-
tons to knowledge and miscellaneous.
They contain fund of information avail
able not only to historians and ethnol-
ogists, but to officials whose duties bring
them in touch with all governmental
agencies having dealings with the Indian
tribes. Although editions of the bureaus
works are comparatively limited. they are.
like other governmental publications, OBJ
tairable through congressional and other
sources. The library of the bureau con-
tains some twenty five thousand volumes,
bound and unbound, and sixteen hundred
manuscripts relating to the Indian Ian
guages, and the Photographic laboratory
has upward of fifteen thousand negatives.
including portraits and views illustrating
Indian life.
Recently authority has been granted the
bureau to extend it's researches into Ha-
wall, and the work has been initiated by
the preparation of photography OF the
islands, comprising about four thousand
titles relating principally to the native
peoples and an important work on the
mythology and history of Hawaii 10
ready for the press.

to organize and conduct the bureau. The
new director found before him a diyersi-
fed field and began to classify the tribes
and the various subjects relating to them
as a means of deciding just what part Of
the task should be undertaken by the
government The vast extent of the work
will be realized when 1t is stated that
scattered over the country from the At
lantic to the Pacific and from the gulf to
the Arctic ocean there are upward o.
three hundred tribes and tribal groups,
speaking nearly that many languages, as
distinct from one another as the several
tongues of Europe. and having tribal his
tories, habits. customs. religious and So
cial organizations. arts and industries as
diversified as the peoples and the Ian
guages. The problem was a complex and
a difficult one. 1t was manifestly impos-
sible to investigate all of the tribes fully,
and it was decided to select few prom
inent examples and make exhaustive
studies of these to stand as types for all
but this meant the devotion of the life
of a particular student to each tribe, for
it is the work of lifetime to learn Ian
guage and master all that pertains to
the history. the traditions the institu-
lions and the life Of tribe.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-12-22

tribes, their relation to one another and
to the whites, especially as represented
by wars. treaties and cessions of land
that lost them a continent Other studies
were undertaken with the view of aiding
in the treatment of the tribes and in ad-
justfng them to the conditions imposed
by civilization. These include their social
organizations, religious beliefs, mode OF
life, occupations, resources, physical and
mental characters and their capacity for
education. Attention has been given also
sanitation and other matters relating to
their material welfare.
Another important branch of the labors
Of the bureau Is the examination of the
antiquities of the country, the collection
of relics, the mapping and description of
the ancient mounds. cliff dwellings, pueb-
los and other monuments, and, under the
law recently passed for the preservation
of these monuments, the uncovering, re-
pair and restoration of the important
ruins in order that they may be- pre-
served to the public for all time. The re-
cent operations of DR.. Fewkes among the
Casa Grande ruins of Arizona are a good
example of this work-a ruined town OF
great interest having been brought to
light and made available to students,

The researches of the bureau are, how
ever. not the first governmental investi-
cations among the Indians. AS early as
1855 the Secretary of War appointed
Leonard S. Shaw deputy agent TO the
Cherokees, with instructions to study their
language and home life and to collect
materials for an Indian history. Thomas
Jefferson, in planning the Lewis and
Clark expedition of 1SO4-05, instructed
Lewis to make extensive Investigations
among the Indian tribes with which he
came in contact. Jefferson and Albert
l.Gallatin both published accounts of per-
sonal observations. Rev. Jedediah Morse
In 1870 was commissioned by the Presi-
dent to ascertain for the use OF the gov
eminent the actual state of the Indian
tribes of our country.
