UNIQUE RELIGION OF INDUAN TRIBE Hsiorin Wil Rereal Lost Customs P Lincoln, Neb, May 13.—(UP)— Traveling in & queer little automo- bile, E. K. Blackman, curator of the Nebraska Hisorical soclety of pro- fninent historian, will leave here early in June on an explotation trip which he hopes will prove a start- ling similarity between religious be- liefs of the extinct 8kidi Indian tribe and Christians of today. The 8kidls, a highly religious tribe, believed that the North Loup valley of Nebraska was the Garden | of Eden mentioned in the Bible, ac- cording to Blackman. ' Blackman, a small elderly man | with a head of disheveled white | hair, will no doubt startle the| natives of central Nebraska with his | unique automobile. His car weighs| 150 pounds, travels 80 miles on a! gallon of gasoline, and although the | tank holds slightly more than & quart, the little “go-devil” as he| calls it, averages about 15 miles an | hour. The wheels require a 20 inch pneumatic tire and his teepee and entire camp outfit weighs 72 pounds Loosening wires in fences he goes | over fields or through groves with little difticulty. Setting out from Lincoln, Black-' man will go to the mouth of the Loup river at Columbus, and follow- ing the river the pathway traversed by the Skidis as early as 1330, he ' will cross over to Cedar creek, sur- | veying the village sites for relics. The skidis, a branch of the Paw- ree tribe, separated from the main | tribe centuries ago, according to| Blackman, The tribe was simon- pure in its religious: practices while | the Pawnees were of the renegade | order. This may have caused the break but at any rate the Skidis came to Nebraska as early as 1350 and perhapa earlier. Blackman will make a strenuous effort to ascertain how much the | religious legends of the tribes con- flicted with that of the early mis- sionaries, Since the . doctrine was | handed down by word of mouth it is quite possible that the legends became contaminated. Their god known as Tirawa, the supreme being, also had a son. The | legends begin “In the beginning was ' Tirawahut,” but in the remaining legends the god is referred to as Tirawa. The son in these legends| somewhat resembles the man of Galilee, although the Indian religion is closely allied with nature and ani- mala After some time Tirawa became aispleased with his children and eent a deluge and the earth was re-populated with another race. The Indlans believed the Loup Valley in Nebraska was the cradle of creation. However, the creation of man ac- cording to the legéends compiled b; Blackman and others, is very dif- ferent fro mthe creation of man in the Bible, Woman was created first. accord- ing to these legends, when the eve- ning star and moring star cohabited and morning star was the mother of the first woman. For many years this woman wandered about the ¢aArth alone, until the sun, seeing the loneliness on earth, journeyed over to the moon and the moon con- celved a boy. Both the girl and the boy—the legends refer to them as such—were sent. . to earth on a cloud. And thus the earth was populated. However, it {s interesting to note that the boy and girl were sinless. And propagation was taught by Tirawa, Further legends tell of the'crea- tion of various animals and in this connection arises another problem which Blackman will try to solve. All animals were the subjects of legends with the exception of the horse, which would tend to sub- stantiate the contention of archae- ologists that the horse was brought to America by Cortez. Tn contradiction to this, however, | Blackman has three stone horse teeth, which he asserts could not have become fossilized in less than from seven to ten thousand years, All these problems will form.the basis of his study. He will also add to the collection of Indian trophies now a part of the soclety’s museum. el Hillslde Creamery Butter, 5lc. § Ibs. $1.00, Russell Bros.—advt. 3 Women Use Then dispose of this new hygienic help easily as tissue—no laundry By ELLEN J.
