I The home of the Oralbf branch of j the Moqui Indians Is n mesa 50p feet } high, upon which the old Indians practice the snake dance and other favorite ceremonies of the tribe. Bnt It Is probable that the coming genera* tlon, or perhaps the present one, will 1 grow out of these things. The white man. with Ids school house and other usages of civilization, has found the young Indians uud made friends of them. Some years ago these Ind'nns of the mesa were considered hostile because they exhibited more opposition to the Influence of the whites than did the other Moqtiis. When It was proposed to build a school house at the base of the mesa and to place all the children In school, the parents stubbornly re fused to permit It. But a house was built and after long and persistent efTort every child of proper age was enrolled as a pupil. The Indians, who had so vigorously opposed at first, became Jealous friends of the school ns soon as they saw the results of It. The enterprise has been \*ery suc cessful. and now one may stand near the school at 7 o’clock In the morn ing and, looking up at the plateau. 500 feet above, see suddenly a curi ous thing. Little children, looking like little dolls, begin to appear over the edge of the mesa. One child comes Into view behind another, and soon the face of the great rock Is alive with the little creatures as they descend. In single file, the steep zig zag path leading to the base of the mesa and the school. The little folk seem to he hanging to the wall of the Immense rock as they slowly descend the face of It. They keep (muring over the edge at the top. and the head of the lln<» has reached the school on the pin hi below before the last of It leaves the mess. When the straggling line comes fully Into view It Is nearly half a mile long. A fanciful person might see In Its con volutions on the path some resemblance to the movements of s snake, and think of It as the snake dance with which the young Indians have replaced that of their grandfathers.
