f CHRISTMAS I
I o^oTff
THE Paeblo Indians of New IlexIco
celebrate Christmas Id their
primitive way, and, although
they profess Christianity, they
also observe their religions ss'
well as their tribal customs,
lays the New York Evening Post On
Christmss ere the inhabitants of each
tillage assemble st the estnfa (place
of worship) and elect officers for the
ensuing year, lien ana boys over sixteen
years of age. If the latter have
proved their worthiness in the chase,
select the candidates by a viva voce
vote. Women are not permitted In the
estufa. The officers elected are a governor
of the village, war chief, police
official and a council of five members
aa a kind of cabinet for the governor.
The governor, by the advice and
consent of bis cabinet sets the time
for the chase, when the entire village
turns out; also designates the time to
irrigate the little patches, the time to
go to work and la ex officio admlnls>
trator of Justice. The wsr chief directs
the pasturing of stock and pre>
vents depredations a poo private property.
He ia the chief of police, coostable.
Judge and Jury combined. Only
serious cases of crime are referred to
the governor and council.
After the election of officers a grand
dance takes place. The braves are
dressed In buckskin pantaloons, with
whit* iWfnn shirt Til* headlines
It of the skin of the deer or fox. the
tall of the snlmal banging down the
| back u en ornament. Some of the
heeddreeeee of the official* are prettily
decorated with bright fee then and
sometimes eegle plnmea. Their facee
are pointed In yellow and white etripea,
' relieved by red spots on the cheeka
I They wear moccaalna of leather. The
braves form In a doable line and march
around the Tillage, preceded by the
officers end the cacique, or eptrltnel
bead. Each brave carries In hie left
bend a goord half filled with psbbfce
and nicked at the top. In hie right
hand is a convex stick, which he eaws
across the gourd and at the same time
firea the coord a abaka or rattle. Tbia
ex cm dating noise la portly drowned
by the general chant In which all join.
The aoog la a monotone; aa If the
singer were telling a story or netting
historical sketches, and ifHtnlj It
I breaks out into a wild and load bUrs,
! like the crash of the dements of die*
cord in the grand opera of civilisation.
The dance la a hippetty hop, and the
movement la slow on til one of these
: breeke la aoonded, and then It la dellrlooa,
like a war dance. This exerdoe
continue* all night, or aa long aa the
bra rea can etand op. There la a considerable
quantity'of meeeal drank at
these celebrationa. and many of the
braves fall by the wajalde. The pale*
