Two Tribes Revealed.
Two tribes are represented by
these relics-the Mandans and the
Arikara. The former were the
earliest known jewellers In that
part Of the country. While the
customs and the habits Of these old
peoples were similar there was a
sharp distinction between them in
their respective attitudes toward
the dead.
When the Mandans died their
bodies, wrapped in buffalo skins.
scaffolds, suspended at q height of
about eight or ten feet. There
they were allowed to remain until
the cross beams gave way, and the
bodies fell to the ground. After a
sufficient number OF the skeletons
had fallen a wholesale burial was
held. Sometimes a dozen skeletons
were thrown into q single grave.
The only religious ceremony held
over dead Mandans was limited to
the scaffold solemnities. Neither
did the Mandans bury any personal
property with their dead.
It was in the graves of the
Arikara people that marked
evidence of parental devotion was
found. Something believed to be
unprecedented In archaeological dis
soveries In North America was
unearthed by the Stirling expsli-
ton. This was the mummified
baby. The primary cause of the
fnummifi cation was the alteration of
parents for an infant who had
died at the age of six or eight
months.
This child was no doubt the son
of some mighty Chief explained
Stirling. On no single adult that
we found was there anything like
the elaborate decorations with
