Third and Fourth Grades
The third grade studied the
picture "Taos Indians Roasting
Corn" painted by Irving Couse.
John Tiffany wrote the follow
ing story about it.
"Taos Indians Roasting c. IN"
This picture was painted by
Irving Couse. The Indian is roast
ing corn in the big fireplace. The
house and fireplace are made by
mixing clay, straw and ashes with
water. This Indian belongs to the
Pueblo tribe. On the floor is
some Indian pottery. It has de-
signs on it. The basket is woven
from grass. There is unhusked
corn in it. I think there is salt
in the little jar near the fire and
water in the other jar. The fire.
place has big fire for roasting
the corn. The Indian uses the
stick to put the corn ears into the
fire and to take them out when
roasted. The Indians moccasins
are made of buckskin. He has an
eagle feather in his hair.
