(Associated Newspaper*--WNU Brvicm.) TAOS INDIANS are the most northerly of the pueblo tribes and live along the upper reaches of Rio Grande in New Mexico. In their early conquest of the great South' west, the Spaniards had plenty of trouble with members of this tribe. Now their main occupation is ceremonial dancing. EDDIE 8IG BEAVER, Blackfeet Indian of Montana is typical of his tribe, c large division of Algonquin's from whom the English-Iroquois wrested control of the St. Lawrence region. Now the tribe resides on reservations in Montana and Alberta, peacefully engaged in stock raising. ough knowledge of the aboriginal tribes before they had become greatly altered by contact with the Europeans. The good Fathers found the Indians difficult subjects for conversion. The entire background and philosophy of the Christian religion differed fundamentally from the native beliefs of the Indians. Christianity Was Incomprehensible. The basic idea of Christianityimmortality, with conduct during life determining the reward or punishment of the soul--was incomprehensible to the aborigines, who had but little V . did not mix their ethics with their religion. Moral principles of good and evil were not sharply defined and _,the ideas of any such spirit abode as a "happy hunting ground," «>r an Indian hell, were foreign to native thought until the idea was implanted missionaries. Dreams or visions, induced by fasting or drugs, wherein he regu? larly saw and spoke with individuals known to be dead, were ample proof to the Indian of the existence of a semirsedentar* Iroquois posforlbr " and sessed a genius for folitical and mil itary organization, which, combined with their warlike traditions, was destined to give them the upper hand in conflict with native rivals. English Chose Iroquois. When the English undertook to aid the Iroquois in their struggle, thrv allied themselves with the side that represented the balance o( power. So it came about that North America is now English instead of French. The English did not1 indulge extensively in missionary activities, but with the Roman Catholic French the desire to convert the natives to Christianity was a leading factor in stimulating exploration. In 1615 Champlain thought the time was ripe to send missionaries into the territory of the St. Lawrence. This work was begun by the Recollets, s Franciscan order.

Offerings placed with the dead ware a manifestation of this belief. The souls of the dead, however, were usually feared and frequently extreme measures were taken in attempts to prevent their return. The religion of the Indian was entirely practical and was designed to help him, not in the future, but in the immediate present. Thus, when the Indian thought himself plagued by an evil spirit, the obvious way to rid himself of his difficulty was to propitiate that spirit with offerings. His attention thus was fixed equally upon friendly and unfriendly forces. Believed in SuperaataraL Underlying all this was the somewhat mystic conception of an impersonal supernatural force which permeates all Nature and animates all phenomena which control the destiny of man. Early white travelers, not comprehending the real nature of this idea, usually translated it as "The Great Spirit." The fabric of the Indian's religion was woven about his intimate observations of Nature. Each day he saw the sun rise in the east and set in the west, obliterating the stars which guarded the heavens at night. He noticed the regularity of the waxing and waning of the moon. He watched the procession of the equinoxes with the accompanying complex phenomena of the seasons.
