Bonita Indians Receive
Highly Priced Gift From
Explorer.

Washington Fulfilling promise of
years standing, DR.. Neil NJ. Judd,
leader of the National Geographic So
ciety expeditions to Pueblo Bonito,
N. NJ, recently presented to members
OF the Zuni tribe gift for which they
would gladly have paid in turquoise.
1t was alive, brilliant Mexican macaw,
bird full of meaning to certain of
the Indians; yet only few members
of the tribe had ever before seen one
of these brightly feathered parrots.
Each of the dozen or more clans
individuals related through the ma
ternal line) at Zuni has it's own clan
totem: The bear, badger, coyote, eagle,
snake, corn and mustard" Doctor
Judd writes in report to the Ma
tional Geographic society. "Of all
these clans none has a larger or more
vigorous membership than the Macaw
people. The Macaw clan has fur
nished a majority of the leading men
at zuni for several generations past.
But these leaders knew the macaw,
their clan totem, emily through verbal
description, handed down from one
generation to another. Two years ago
small delegation went to San Do
mingo, a Tewa pueblo near Albu-
querque, there to trade turquoise or
naments for macaw feathers. There
are two captive macaws at San Do
mingo, obtained through exchange

pleased last fall when / told them l
should try to obtain for them a live
bird, as a gift to the entire Macaw

But this spring when I arrived at
Zuni l found that carefully laid plans
were intended to divert my purpose
and bring something of an individual
reward. Two of the boys had made
it known that the bird was to be a
present to each, individually, and
suppose each of the pair had already
taken orders for NICOLA feathers, indis-
pensable articles of adornment in GER
tain ceremonies and in the prepara-
ton of prayer plumes. But insisted
the maeaw was gift to- the entire
clan and not personal remembrance
to a single friend. It was my ex-
pressed opinion that the Sun Priest,
as highest official of the clan, should
receive the bird and act as its custo-
dian. And right there l discovered
some surprising information about the
macaw and its habits.

with the bird.
Ancient Bonltans Kept Captive Birds.
During the course of the National
Geographic society's explorations in
Pueblo Bonito, we have found over
thirty skeletons of the great macaw.
And Pueblo Bonito, from archaeological
evidence, was abandoned approximate
~ 1000 years ago. It appears then
that the inhabitants of this great pre-
historic village must have obtained
live macaws through barter with the
tribes of central Mexico. The birds.
were kept here in captivity for we

had been tethered and we have found

Totem Is Given

two boys, in my presence, told the
Sun Priest that in their native habitat
the macaws gather in ffocks of from
200 to 300 and, as they see man pass
ing through the forest, swoop down to
attack him. The NICOLA was credited
with being especially fond of human
flesh and extremely dangerous in cap
tivity. Previously, the Sun Priest
had learned from the second hopeful
lad that the macaw was apt to die If
he did not get the kind of food to
which he had grown accustomed. But
after an hours discussion the fears
of the priest were eliminated and he
consented to care for the macaw in
behalf of his people. Word came to

friendly relations and that both were
