! PHOENIX, Feb. % - Reports
that the remaining members of the
once powerful Seri Indians are en-
gagged in a fantastic tribal suicide
pact on Tiburon island in the Gulf
of California were branded erron-
eous yesterday by T. L. LeFlors,
Phoenix police officer.
LeFors, who recently returned
from a hunting trip on the island,
said stories purporting the Seri are
committing suicide and taking
oaths to remain childless because
! of disease and poverty are "abso-
! lute1y without foundation"
The police patro1man said the re-
ports have been heard by members
of the tribe and they are highly
resentful.'
Refutes Poverty Reports
Although they are not as far ad-
vanced as Indians in this country,
because they receive no particular
help from the government, the Seri
are not poverty stricken, Lefors
said
Fishing in the gulf is an occupa-
ton in itself and they have steady
market for all they catch with
companies that bring fish to Ari-
zona and New Mexico markets" !"
LeFors said.
Some of the Indians make sew
eral pesos mexican dollars) day
during good seasons and their de-
mandS are small
The officer said the Seri do not
reside on the island but in small
huts along the beach of the main
land at Keno Bay, And they clean
up' when fishing parties stop at
Keno, he said.
Wild Game Nearby
Tiburon island. 18 miles off the
mainland. has a plentiful supply of
wild game and the Seri inhabit it
only while escorting hunting par
ties through it's rugged interior, the
patrolman said.
LeFors said he was told by Rob-
erto Thomson, a Mexican represen-
tative of the tribe, that the Seri
are not particularly bothered with
any kind of disease now.
Thomson said about five years
ago disease killed some 300 of the
tribe, but if they're bothered with |
