Engineering work by the [ndians varies trom the early work of home building and defense to extendéd irri ‘gation and mining projects. The ir rigation canals were built by the in-} habitants of the southwest part of the United located for the most part in, Arizona, where one of their teut in rock to the depth of » feet is used today by the white settlers. in present y ‘igation. Some of the mines and quarries came within the scope of the Dakotas and Minnesota. Region of Missouri River “Through the region of the Mis- souri, river,” Dr. Gilmore continued after di ng the irrigation and home building of the southwest, “the villages usually were s°t upon high ground near to a running stream for} water supply and forest growth for fire wood. The farming lands usually wers laid out in the alluvial valleys. The villages were surrounded by a defensive stockade iand ditch. The stockade by timbers firmly placed close to geither, eight or ten feet high and sharpened at the top. The stoc- kade was cniered by a gate which could be closed at night. Nery often the \ditch and the stockade contained Salients, so lookouts could be placed commending a view of the approach to the village.
