Primitive Indians Welcome Visitors Welcome Guests After 700 Years SUPAI. Ariz. (INS) — It has taken just about 700 years for America’s most primitive tribe of Indians — the Havasupai — to hang out the "welcome visitor” sign. The land of the Havasupai is the multi-colored, rocky canyon country of Supai, Ariz.. not far from the Grand .Canyon. It was just about 700 years ago that the Havasupai fled to their home country just ahead of the savage Apache hordes. Less than 500 miles from Los Angeles, the “People of the Blue Green Water” are becoming a number one tourist attraction to Western travelers — and the Indians love it. The tourists who have made the trip to the home of the Havasupai — including an eight mile stretch which has to .be covered by horseback — find the friendly Indians are canrera shy. They are reluctant to. pose for pictures. » Fresh from under a rock wall at the head of their canyon, blue waters of a rippling stream flow beside their wickiups, dugouts, shacks and open-air quarters beneath cottonwood and willow tree boughs. Life now, as in “Days of Old." is largely carefree except for the struggle between Indian traditions and the white man s ways. Four white people — operating a white mail’s church, touching in a white man’s school, and representing the Great White Father in Washington — live with some 150 members of the paradise. Some of the Italians pay homage I vet to the old Indian gods; some to the God in the white man’s church, and some to the gods of both. The Indians have accepted white man’s clothing; pome of his food, necessary use of bis language, and much of his woll-inlended. hand outs of material things; bnt most the elders cling to the culture their forebears learned from the wisdom of C’oyote. Iteer. and Bearand their means nf survival. — —. ' ' ——

The United States Flag flies over a cottage on the one street, ankle deep in dust, where the government’s sub Indian-agent and wife have offices with the tribe’s "Tourist Manager” and post office. Electric power is generated by • a gasoline motor abont two hours each night a sound motion picture is shown in the clapboard school house. "Jim Thorpe” and a Johnny Weismuller ‘‘Tarzan’’ movie were recent hits. Phonograph recordings, from a loudspeaker at the white man's church, playing hymns which will be sung in church next Sunday, are sounded through the length i of the valley each night the power i ie-on. Every man and boy has a horse, | and learned to ride it, and to swim | in pools beneath their three beautiful waterfalls, even before they i learned to walk. Their greatest fun is gambling; I the women with cards, the men i with 16 sticks and a- ball. The ball i is hidden under one of four dirt piles: a member of the other team guesses which pile holds, jj. If right, his team gets a stick; if ; wrong, it gives one. When one I team has all the sticks, they win the money, . . These is no formal law enforce- , ment;! and no marriage certifi- I cates. To marry, a boy moves into . the wickiup of his intended. If ' not chased out, he gives presents I to her parents, and stays. Once yearly, in late August or ' early September, they hold a "Peach Festival," and dance two ' nights through . . , holding hands ' and chanting in a slow shuffling circle, around a tribesman beating i a drum in tom-tom rhythm. « Friendly tribes come to trade blankets, ponies, saddles and ornaments for fruits, vegetables, "buckskin. or' jast to take part’ in the feasting, horse racing, and tugs of war. Prizes are soda pop. candy. cigarettes and supplies from the tribal store. Old men lounge in the sand, exchange news and talk of- the Old bays, and gamble. Young men race, talk, play ftqmes, and gamble. .. Children frolic in bare feet, some, younger ones with no pants. Women play cards with a grassy spot for card table, when not fixing food, or ’tending a papoose from a nearby cradTehoard. Once monthly, a mule train brings in loads of flour, salt, bacon. and other ' staples from the white man’s sources. Some of the elders got federal old age benefits. Cash is in common use. They qtill have the spirit of free men. and are still able to turn on an enemy, whjte or Indian — including any who photographs them without perthission. . A stolen picture of the medicine man can win a busted camera and a quick escort to the canyon rim, and the outside world —by an otherwise friendly group of Indians. ' Their primitive social order ig confused and undetermined by the whiteman's laws, preventing execution of tribal customs and laws governing punishment and hunting. Rut they gradually are accepting the white man's ways. And because they want and need the tourists’ money, the Tribal Council has named one of Its memIhth "Tourist Manager,” and wjth government help has built lodge quarters for them. ’ . KcoCt vatioub. and arraugpniquts

for horses and Indian guides, are made by writing: , "Tourist Manager; Supai, Arizona; via Grand Canyon.” The mule train mail will do the rest. If you have something to sell or rooms for ent, try a Democrat Want Add. It brings results. r.’ . ■ '

South Dakota Prison Rioting Is Quelled Bow To Ultimatum Os Gov. Anderson SIOUX FALLS. S. D. (INS) — A 20-hour uprising by 300 convicts at the South Dakota state prison has been quelled following a tough surrender ultimatum by Gov. Sigurd Anderson. Four guards, who were captured as hostages when the Inmates began their riot Monday evening, were released unharmed. Two of the guards were freed during preliminary negotiations between convicts and prison officials. Gov. Anderson, in issuing the ultimatum which broke the back Os the rebellion, asserted that state officials—not inmates —were running the prison. He told the convicts: "Unless the two guards are im-

mediately released and other prisoners wishing to leave the cell block are not Interfered with—the others will have to face the consequences.” He stressed to a three-man prisoner committee that: ‘‘You have no alternative.” After the surrender, one itfhiate was found dead apparently from drinking hair tonic and 15 others were hospitalized with similar poisoning. .1 • S YOU CAN Buy * OR Sell GOOD USED Farm Machinery THROUGH THE DEMOCRAT CLASSIFIED ADS YOU« AD OF M WORDS or LESS WILL RUN 3
