During the generations in which
the Indians Of the United States have
been in intimate contact with the
white mans civilization, there has
been no period when he was subjected
to such radical changes as that be-
ginning with the opening Of the pres
ent century. Tribes that still fol-
lowed their ancient customs 80 years
ago have become so thoroughly modi-
fed as to have lost most OF their
aboriginal traits, hence what was res
cued by those artists and students OF
earlier days who realized that the end
was not far away, is now OF priceless
value.
