SAYS HE, if a girl has beauty

without the beauty angle She
can become an extra That, of
course. Is only the first rung on

the Smoki In Patricia Sawyer.
dians are famous all over the coun.
try for their interpretations Of the
ancient rituals of the red men. In
August Of every year. people travel
from all parts of the United States
and even from foreign countries
to see the Smoki men and women
perform their ceremonies. And, as
one who has lived in Arizona, I
can tell you that the performance
is we'll worth travelling almost any
distance to see.
Members of the Smoki tribe are
men and women who place great
value on the old customs of Ameri-
cas- first citizens and do not want
to see them die out 1t is for this
reason-to keep alive these rites
that they put on their annual per-
formance.
OF course, great deal of re-
search and practice are involved.
Every year much time and money
is spent collecting jewelry, bones,
skins, snakes. animals and all other
things needed to duplicate the rit-
ual of the Indians. The men and
women who portray the Indians
paint themselves a copper color and
don clothes of braves and squaws.
In presenting the snake ritual" Of
the Indians, some of the men even
place real rattlesnakes in their
mouths.
The next time you hear tho
"Smoki Indians" mentioned. you can
just smile, if you like, because you
know now that the members Of
that famous tribe are not what most
people think they are.
