INDIAN tribes OF Montana n the
northwest have many curious legends,
4 myths and superstitions which provide
an interesting field Of study for those
interested In e~thnology and comparative
religion and which contain theme ideas
for American music, art and literature,
only slightly touched upon at the pres
ent time.
While sitting again and again the old
stories Of Greek. Roman and Morse myth
ology. writers and artists have made no
effort to use the almost untouched
stories Of Indian tradition. There are
some exceptions to the rule, however.
David Lieurance. who spent a year on the
Grow reservation about 20 years ago, has
made good use of the song motifs OF vari-
GUS tribes and Frank Linderman through
his Indian Why Stories phas done much
in bringing Indian folk lore to popular
attention.
The various Indian tribes have their
creation and deluge stories, many OF
origin with which we are familiar. Stu
dents have been able to trace tribal re-
lationships quite as much through the
similarities OF their myths as through
physical or lingual similarities.
According to one OF the Crow creation
stories. the world originally was covered
with water. Old Man Coyote, a god who
RCk W l04 4 tAC
Of wisdom and craft n who often took
the form Of a coyote, sent down a duck
to earth. The duck dtved under the
water n kicked up some mud and Old
Man Coyote took this and formed the
land. Then he nodded out Of mud, the
various animals. Finally he took another
piece and with more han usual care,
sculptured the shape OF a man.
Gives Him Eyes
He placed the mud man against a tree
to dry. Then he thought that OF all the
things that he had made. there was none
that understood the wonderful work he
had done. So he picked up q stick and
punched q couple OF holes in the mans
head and these became eyes and because
of his extra care, the man could see and
understand beyond any of the other ami
mails.
their tribe originally lived In a subter-
was a great tree reaching to the up
per world and the tribe determined to
climb up to the surface. They all got up
safely but one very fat woman who broke
the 0 by which they were climbing
and then they were never able to return
to their former home.
The Crows have a story that has a GER
tain likeness to this tree story Of their
kindred. The sun fell in love with a GER
tain eros Ventre woman because she was
such q big eater. The eros Ventres are
q branch of the Crows which seeded not
long before the coming of the white men.
They have been the butt OF ~good-natured
ridicule from the Crows for their reputed
eating proclivities from which has come
the name Gros Ventres, which is French

No one has yet figured out how many

will use 5000 loaves Of bread, "a, 900
pounds Of butter and 10000 heads Of

is computed on a basis of 40 sandwiches

Recalling that 1t is only a few years

the nation and that Montanans find 1t

Mrs. Beal TELLS Story of EARLY Days Inn
Valley Where Anaconda Now Stands

newspapers In the early days" she said.
THE first paper that we subscribed to
was The Northwest, published at hat
time in Deer Lodge. We received our
mail from the ~postoffice at Warm
Springs. The few ranchers in the valley
took turns in driving the long distance
for the mail"
The first schoolhouse in that part of
the valley was built near the Beal home,
above the present ball park, which at
that time was a potato patch. Six
pupils were enrolled in the school. The
ranchers secured the services of Miss
Netty Rogan, a ~16-year-old girl from
Butte. The schoolhouse later burned
down.
"A shopping trip in those times meant
q stay Of q day or two in Butte" Mrs
Beal explained. 1.-THE trip was SO long
that the ranchers were forced to remain
in Butte all night. Shoes and other
clothes were high priced"
In the late fall the families in the
valley would haul the winter provisions
from Butte to the ranch homes. The
rough roads during the winter months
were seldom passable. THE winter
months may have been long, but they
passed quickly for we had u work tc
do" Mrs. Beal stated. II did not mine
the weather then at all for I was young
Speaking of youth, Mrs. Beal's eyes
gaily sparkled and she asked the reporter
If Lindbergh, the Lone Eagle. was not the
most perfect boy. II would like to take

smile. .
She also urged the reporter as he left
the small, comfortable home, not to for

for big Bellies" The Indian name for
the tribe is Hidatsa.
Sun Steals Woman
The Gros Ventre woman of the story
started to climb a tree after a fat porcu-
pine which had climbed to the topmost
branches. The sun watered the tree and
caused 1t to grow until its branches
reached the sky. Then the sun seized
the woman and made her his bride. The
moon wat their son.
After a time the woman grew tired of
her celestial abode and wished to return
to the earth. To prevent this, the sun
closed up all the openings OF the sky.
But the moon punched holes in the sky
and these became the stars. Still his
mother was not content with peeping
through these holes to see the earth.
Finally the moon took a great arrow and
shot 1t through the roof Of the sky but
as he did so, he lost his balance and fell
through the opening. His mother tried
to save him and she, too, fell from the
sky. There is a great rock near the Big
Horn river with two indentations upon
1t. This is where the moon and his Gros
Ventre mother struck hen they fell.
Some of the legends are used to ex-
plain various facts Of nature, theirs to
account for unusua landmarks. The
Kiowa Indians told Gen. Hugh l.. Scott

northern wyoming Of this nature. A
band Of Indians were camped on a stream
where there were many bears. Once
seven little girls were u gathering ber-
ries when some bears chased them. The
bears were about TO catch them when
they managed to scramble on q low rock
"Oh, rock, save us, save us" they cried.
The rock began to stretch out longer
and longer. The bears jumped up at the
rock, scratching against its sides and the
marks can still be seen on the rock. The
children were pushed up to the skies
where they became the seven stars Of
the Pleiades.
Legends of Tragedy
There are many legends among differ
ent tribes of sacrifice and Of tragedy. One
Of these among the Crows which may
have had a historical basis is connected
with the criffs of the Yellowstone river
near Billings. A large band OF Indians,
encamped near the river. were attacked
by an epidemic, probably Of the small
pox, and many died. Finally, as the dis
ease showed no signs OF abating. a coun-
Gil was held and some way of assuaging
the anger Of the spirits who had caused
the plague wa discussed. Finally. three
young braves offered themselves as a sac
rif1ce. Blindfolding their horses, they
rode of the high cliffs and persisted with
their steeds on the rocks below. The
heroic deed Of the young warriors had
the desired result and the remnant of
the band escaped the disease. The point
was known until after the coming of the
whites as 1.-THE Place of Skulls"
Common among the Indians are leg
ends about the procuring of fire. Accord
