On Indian Trails

The seventh of a series of artlclesspeeniiiy mitten By Lucy Gertrude Clarkin

clncwher; in the some mountains that shelter happy Taos thcrc are lir- ing the last adherents to o. strange sci-t callcrl thc Pcnitcnics or Crucifix- 117i! pcisple. ’I‘lley have bccn living here for centuries and arc a striking 'c::ampl-> of religion gone wrong, or fervor developed to fanaticism. They are not Indians; the pueblo people express contempt for them; the pent. Lento is probably a Peon, and it ls difficult to say just what Ls meant by “P:cn" in New Mexico.

Lummts, in “Mesa, Canon and

Pueblo," tells us that this sect started “Vi/hon Juan de Onnte, the. coionizer of NEW Mexico. was preparing ill nor- thern Mexico his reularkable expedi- tion. Things were not going well and it was fcit that divine displeasure had marked thclu for sonle fault, and the ﬁrst self-rlsgellatlon took place among these s‘x hundred colonists.

It far outgrew its parent- age in its iugenultics of self-torture. iIt is the only place ill the New World ]‘-——])8l‘lll1])S in the world-where this lpenitfential fanaticism reached actual Jcruciiixlml, and in New Mexico this crowning tragedy went on for many gensratiins. Public opinion, and es- sentially the steady pressure cf thc ‘chart-I have copies of the Papal ‘Bull cxcoinmiinicatiilg the Peniientes ;‘-havc put a stop to thc crucifixions; that there are many remote corners ‘of New Mexico where the forty days of Lent and the clinlax of Holy Week yore still observed by the Penitentes, with ceremonies that seem strange indeed in this age and country."

Scot Dying Out

It iras in 1888 that the author of “Mesa, Canon and Pueblo" obtained this ﬁrst-hand knowledge of the Peni- iltentcs. (They have hem dying out Jgffldllllll)‘ but thorn are still a few of ‘the scct left in the mountains of New Mexico.) The inécxt edition cf this ‘book was ill 1925 and carries the au- ILPOF-‘l statslncut that he was the ﬁrst land inst man to photograph the Peni- iiautcs. He. (lrscrbes thc difficulties of ‘Itllf! ilnderiaking and tells us that he ,r.till has ll. bullet ill the back of his throat to remind him of the occasion. They continue to practice their jwcird and awful rltm. and ltlls said tiispite edict of church or state, they secretly crucify a IIICXTIDSI‘ on Good ,Fri(lay. It is considered the highest Iiposslblc honor to be selected and oc- licaslons keen rivalry among them.

Medlcinelmen

Medicine-men (Shamans) are the most interesting characters in an In- dian pueblo. and they are of utmost

importance to the life of that com- munity. They are losng prestige somewhat in the luodernizcd Indian scttlcmznts whore the youllg have rc- ccircd mission education and relig- ion training. but they are necessary to the performance of all ceremonial rites and dances. '

This is a secret order that cannot die out 8s long as boys are adopted land trained to carry on the work. The most skiliul of magicians, they perform seemingly impossible wonders, and claim supernatural ‘power: this claim is a heritage of the cénturlss“ and it is no marvel that the Medicine

Anything that an Indian docs not understand he attributes to a. super- natural power-and a personiﬁed one. He speaks of the rainbow as “a bow of the gods“; the lightning he calls "their arrows.” Thunder is the "drum of the gods"; and the‘ sun “their shield."

Even animals are invested with supernatural attributes "according to their power to injure man or to do him good." Remembering this one may readily understand why Medl- cine-men are honored by Indians. They perform difficult, lilexplicabl decds——- therefore they are gifted by "Those Above," as some tribes speak of Divine power.

It is not easy to be a. Shaman: boys who are recruited to this life undergo a. strenuous training. All their cere- monial dances; some of their con- juring tricks are a. great strain on nerves and physique, and they make long fasts before certain ceremonies that demand considerable in will power. ' '

Though "wlzardV-maglc, is used as a mean of llvelillood by Shamans it ls an indirect means. They would not, for example, think of performing for money, or consider admitting strangers to the Medicine-lodge (a hail used only for the rites of Medi- cIne-men) during o. performance. These rites are part of an Indians religion and revered as such.

The Shamans livelihood is assured because they are considered as "prec- ious to the Trues." (which means, I suppose, friends of the Most High.) and worth cultivating as such; They receive gifts of all kinds and some of the 1930 Indians had worthwhile gifts to offer. A few choice Navajo blankets would make any Shaman comfortable for lllc.

IN MEMORIAM LESTER notano beau-min.

Lester Roland Campbell, child of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Campbell, Elm- wood, passed away on November 33rd at the age of 8 monthsland 5 days.

Lester Roland was quite a robust ‘child and was lli only a short time so that the news of his death came as a. great shock to all.

All that medical skill and loved ones could do was done but to no avail. Disease and death had their way and the end came quietly. Be- sides a. son-owing rather and mother there are left to mourn the loss of their baby brother, four brothers and six sisters. All are feeling their loss very keenly. But while the loved ones are lonely without him, knowing that he has gone away forever from all of earth's temptations, earth's sins and earth's sorrows, and believ- ing that in all of I-lis dealings God is "Too wise to err and too good to l be unkind," they will not murmur nor ‘complain, but each will bow in sub- mission to His decree saying “not my will O Lord, but Thine be done." And yet while life will be lonely heaven will henceforth be ileaier and dearer because their darling boy is there. The funeral, which was a large one was held in the afternoon of November 25th. The service was conducted by Rev. R. Hensley Stov- ert. The floral tributes were beautiful and consisted of the following: Wreath, Father and Mother, Broth- ers and Sisters; Spray, Grandpa Beecher and Katie; Spray, Mr. and Mrs. Donald McDonald and family; Crescent, Mr. and Mrs. John Doch- erty and family; Boquet, Mr. and Mrs. Ira. Auld. Tile pail bearers were Johnnie Docherty, Parker McPhee, Raymond Gallant and Stanley Col- will. Interment was in the Presbyter- ian cemetery, Clyde River.
