Both branches of the “peyote church hold their ceremonials at night without any p@blic announcement, but welcome any visitors who happen to be on hand.

In the most inac- cessible places they hold their religious and tribal ceremonies and bury their dead. She expects to record the music of the people and obtain a list of their medicinal plants and healing prac- tices. Clothes Resemble Oriental Rug.
