bh THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA. DECEMBER 5, 1901, HERALDRY OF THE INDIANS | Marks on the Face to Denote Honors, Ancestry, Tribe and Condition, People In general have been content to look upon the Indian's adornment of his head with eagle feathers and his face with paint as marks of personal decoration inspired by vanity and a savage taste, different only in degree fron what is sometimes witnessed among bighly civilized peoples, But the fact is that in preference to the lat ter custom, for instance, every paint heraldic meaning, implying not only the honors won by the brave in person, but representing also the claims of his family and race to distinction. In other tured communities by coats of arms, orders and decorations Is depleted by the Indian on his face by means of pig ments. Scientists are now engaged, other novel the North American Indian, in compil- Ing a record of the armorial, or, rather, facial, chiefs, and it 1s said to be fascinating work. One renowned warrior, for in- stance, will have his lip painted a cop- per red. This 1s found to indicate that his tribe was once in possession of huge mines of copper. Another Indi vidual will have his forehead adorned with a painting of a certain fish, thus implying that he or his people are re- among mowned for prowess in catching fish. | The same distinguished person some- times wears a disk of pear! in addition to his paint mask. This, by its shim- mering radiance and its form, Implies that he Is from the moon, in the sense that the goddess of night Is one of his ancestors, The fact that the Indian has no con ception of perspective seriously handi- caps the suc his efforts at ple torial the Indian limnper merely alms to show the charac teristic portion of the object he at tempts to deplet of great attain divides or pl ture and req part the ng tirely Irrespective of que nee he fentures of the times ine tion of the herald descended cess of Indeed art. most unless he be ment, dissect resents latter be natura 10 are some wrporated into , representa animal bearing.
