+ 'A—12 SEMNOLES BREAK “WALLOF SLENCE Characteristic Songs Are Re- ported Obtained From *Glades Indians. The “wall of silence” of the Semi- nole Indians of the Florida everglades has been broken, Miss Frances Dens- more, specialist in Indian music of the Bureau of American Ethnology, Te- ported in a letter to the bureau this Less than two weeks ago Miss Dens- more, provided with recording instra- | ments, went among this people, who/ hitherto have been hostile to being ob- | served by sclentists. Years of experi- ence in Indian manners enabled her to secure almost at once some of the characteristic Seminole songs, includ- ing those which accompany “the green corn dance.” The Seminoles, it is explained at the Bureau of Ethnology, never have been entirely reconciled since the two . great Seminole Wars early in the nine- teenth century, one of which cost Government _ $20,000,000, and finally was won only by violating a flag of truce to capture the Indian chief. The ethnology of the Creek people, from whom the Seminoles are directly derived, is well known. They were moved by the Government to the In- dian Territory, where, they established themselves. But following the great Creek War many of the tribesmen re- fused to remain with the tribe and drifted into Northern Florida. These “geparatists’—an_ approximate trans- lation of the Indian words “semi- noles"—eventually came together in two large bands. They are believed to have preserved quite thoroughly the old Creek manners, customs and lan- g:nge. which will be studied by Miss ore. Throughout the years the Seminoles, representing an extremely conservative element among the American Indians, have preservi a considerable degree of independence, attending to their own tribal affairs and many details of civil Government. Jurisdiction over them has been partly in the hands of the Federal and partly of the State Govern- ment. Through the years they have been reputedly a very suspicious peo- and only today some of the more jberal among them are beginning to adopt the ways of white men.
