How Other
Peoples


Thanksgiving day in America began
as public rejoicing over good har-
vest-the first reaped by the New
England colonists. The idea is not
peculiar to our people; probably they
imbibed it from English customs or
those, as old as history, which prevail
in one form or another on the CONT
nent. Gratitude for plentiful har-
vests is the keynote of these customs.
although among us the day would
probably be celebrated even if Gov
ernor Bradford had not started the
observance in 1923 by that memorable
Thanksgiving day when long
drought was broken.
Different peoples have different
times, but always some time, for har-
vest thanksgiving. When the Jews
inhabited Palestine the festival of
Pentecost embraced thanksgiving
for a plentiful harvest; but as the
wheat is not gathered in Europe at
the time of the Pentecost, flowers take
the place of the first fruits in the
synagogues there. The Druids had
their harvest festival on the first of
November; the Chinese and Japanese
have theirs at their years close.
The second of the three great festi-
walls of the Jewish ecclesiastical year
occurs on the sixth and seventh days
of the third month (Sivan) which in
cludes part of May and June. 1t Is
called in Hebrew, Shovuous, but more
generally the feast Of the Pentecost,
the fiftieth day, since it commentaries
the giving Of the law to Moses on
Mount Sinai so days after the de-
liverance of the Israelites out of
Egypt. 1t is also called the Feast Of
Weeks, because it marks the compile
ton Of seven weeks, counted from the
second day Of Peasch or Passover.
In the famous temples of Ise, in
the neighborhood of Yamada, are the
shrines of the goddesses in whose
honor those festivals are held. There
are two temples. the Naiku dinner
temple) and the Geku or outer tenn
pie. The Naiku is sacred to the sun
goddess, the great ruler of heaven,
the Geku is dedicated to the goddess
of food, in other words, to the worship
Of dedication of the earth.
Thousands Of pilgrims resort an
nually to these temples at Use. be-
I cause of the pre-eminence of the god
desses to whom they are dedicated.
This sun goddess, Ama-terasu. is be-
lieved to be an ancestress of the i'm
perial family of Japan. The ration
alistic, educated classes do not take
as much part in the pilgrimages as do
the artisan class. The working peo-
pie in Tokyo and Kyotol and Osaka
believe, however, that they may find
difficulty in obtaining livelihood I'M
less, they invoke the protection of the
goddesses at Use, and the peasants are
even more devout believers.

Reservation Indians of the South
west have taken to observing Thanks
giving day, until now it is common
occurrence for them to take part in
the good cheer that comes all over the
country on that day. To make the day
more cheerful the redskins hold off
their regular beef issues and annuity
payments until that day, when they
all join in one huge celebration. One
might travel through an Indian reser-
walton in Oklahoma today on Thanks
giving day and not find one-fifth of the
tepees occupied-all are away at the
feasting place. Coming upon these
celebrations one is astonished at the
interest taken. To the redskin. who
generally takes everything calmly, the
excitement manifest at beef issue or
grass payment on these days is in
tense-even as great as at their ghost
and war dances.
Very seldom Of late has there been
allowed any beef issue to take place
on the reservations of the Southwest,
and these events, when they do occur,
come on Thanksgiving day. 1t is by
a fitting arrangement that the head
men Of the tribes have agreed upon
this one day of all others when they
celebrate their feasts. I attended
beef issue on Thanksgiving day last
year. 1t was given by the Ponca In
dams on their reservation. Hundreds
of Indians danced and made merry.
The medicine man held sessions be-
hind >sclosed tepee doors, and the
squaws raced with each other in their
glee. Even the papooses cooed and
sang their songs with much brighter
faces
All was happy in the camp of the
Poncas. The day had dawned bright
ly. Yellow autumn was everywhere.
The squaws lowered about the fires
and lay upon the sweet grass telling
stories of the old times that had
passed. 1t had been year since the
Indian agent had consented to beef
issue. The issue Is savage fete.
something like the Mexican bull fight
except that the Indian eats his prey.
The beast is given no chance what
ever.
When the agent rode out among the
rows of tepees he gave permission for
immediate chase upon the herds then
grazing on not far-distant hillside.
Then wild. weird chanting rang
through the camp. Suddenly from the
lodges burst forth the young men.
They were clad in gay trappings and
their faces were covered with paint
Each carried long shining field-gun.
To the stranger this aggregation would
have presented the appearance of a
regiment Of savages going into battle.
Off to the herd they dashed. Soon
the crack of the gun, then snorting
and believing of the wild CATTLE and
the fierce shouting of the warriors told
that the chase was on. 1t sounded
much like battle in progress.-Les-
