Mi*. Den.more, who.e home i> in Red Wing, Minn., » a Fellow of the American Society for the Advancement of Science. Last year .he won a measure of conf.dence from the shy children of the everglades and succeeded in making records of a number of their tribal songs. Thi. Winter she hopes to follow up that advantage and gain admission to some of the intimate rites and ceremonies of the Seminole*. The tribe » the mo.t unapproachable and reticent of the Fir.t American., Or.g.nally a part of the Creek confederacy, the Seminole, .ep.rated from it in the Bth century. In 1817 and 1818 their attack upon Georgian and Alabaman .ettlement, resulted in an invasion of their territory by General Andrew Jack.on, who gave them a terrible beating. In 1835 they started the most .evere Indian war by their refusal to ab.de by the treaty of Payne . Landing, made by their chief, Osceola. The war lasted for seven years, after which the tribe moved to Arkansas. But many of the brave* would not capitulate and *tuck to their everglade, fa.tne.., where lheir defendants are to this day.

MIAMI. Fla. —(U.R) Seeking a 1 record of music of the Seminole. Indians and a list of their modi-’ dual plants and healing practices. Miss Frances Densmore, national authority on Indian lore and collaborator with the Bureau of Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institute, is in the Florida Everglades to spend the Winter in studying the tribe which has so tar managed to keep its intimate rites a mystery to the curious paleface. 1 lie Semiuoles are the irrecoucilables of the Indian trills. The very name is derived from a word in their language meaning "run- 1 away," which is an allusion to their secession from the Creek confederacy, and they are the most unapproachable and retieent branch of the First Americans. So it can readily be seen that Miss Densmore is taking on a task of no mean proportions. Originally a, part of the Creek confederacy, the Seminoles separated from it in the 18th century nnd occupied the greater portion of Florida, where they lived their I lives, hunting and fishing, living and dying, a nation unto themselves until the advent of the white man witli his firewater. In 1817 and 1818 their attacks upon settlements in Georgia and Alabama resulted in an expedition under General Andrew Jackson invading their territory and, after many sanguinary encounters, administering a decisive bestin’ to the warlike braves. As a climax to the invasion General Jackson hanged two English traders, Arbuthnot and Ambrister, who were i alleged to have instigated the la ds with the aid of John Baii leycoru. After the lesson which General Jackson gave the tribe, the SemI

' inoles pursued a harmless exist- ■ ence until 1835. when, by their refusal to abide by the treaty of Payne s Landing, made between’ their chief Osceola and the United | States commissioners, they start-1 ed the war that lasted until 1842.1 This most severe of all Indian ) wars cost thousands of lives anti! millions of dollars. When one considers that the I treaty called f'«- the tribe's surren-,. Her of its lands and its removal to' 1 Aransas, one can hardly lay all the blame on the Indians. Finally, however, the tril>> did makg peace and were recognized as the Seminole Nation and one of the "Five Civilized Tribes." being .granted autonomy upon the scale permitted the other four. Cherokee. Chickasaw, Choctaw and : Creek. j But there were "die-hards j among the braves, and rather than submit to removal to a reservation i at Arkansas they took to the I Jungle-’ike Everglades, where their' . descendants are to this day. Suspicion of the white man be- . ;ing hereditary, few persons have , witnessed Seminole celebrations. But Miss Densmore, who spent last J Winter among them, has overcome [ Some of the reticence with which they sruround themselves. This J year the daring woman hopes to penetrate to the "secret daces" nf ■ the Indians, seldom visited by , White people. I' is in Seminole music that Miss ' Densmore is particularly inter csted. They can sing, sin rays,! and already she has recorded a number of songs peculiar to th® tnbe. But great patience is reuuired in dealing will, these cbil dren of the forest and a great handicap to Miss Densmore's study! ” the Jack of an interpreter. 1
