stitute ee-dimensional illustra-
tions OF incidents and places.
Specimens Of the handiwork OF
the natives of territories and island
possessions under the departments
direction are the most interesting
exhibits from the esthetic stand
point. American Indians, Alaskan
Eskimos, natives of the Virgin Is
lands, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are
represented by many beautiful and
individual objects. A sand painting
of Arrow people, translated into a
Navajo blanket, is still one OF the
most impressive art objects in the
museum; it was acquired during the
incumbency of Secretary 1ckes.
Among the most recent acqulsl-
tions is an Indian chiefs handsome
feather headdress, fan, ceremonial
pipe and tobacco pouch presented
to Secretary Krug early this year
in a ceremony installing him into
tribal membership by the Yakima
Tribal Council. Black, white and
red feathers and intricate patterns
worked out in colored beads on
leather and fabrics are combined
in the respective objects in admir-
able designs.
A large collection Of Eskimo ivory
carvings from Arctic Alaska, as
sembled by Leon H. Cubberly OF the
Secretary's Office when he was con-
nected with the Alaska Reindeer
Survey and Appraisal Committee, is
one of the most ensnaring groups
on view. These miniature sculptures
represent the Eskimos themselves,
polar bears. seals. fish and birds, dog
sleds and other creatures and objects
indigenous to their region and life,
sklllfully carved out of warm toned
ivory in simplified, naturalistic man
ner, with touches of color.
