OUR ISLAND INDIANS

The name Indians was given by Columbus to all the tribes inhab. "lDiI.the American continent at the tune of,it.s discovery, because .hey thought the New World was a part of India. To science. these tribes are known as red men and they are considered a mixture of various Asiatic races.

Their chief characteristics are straight black hair, scanty beard, wide nose and compressed lips and a broad face with rather high cheek-bones.

The Micmsc or Island Indians used to be very tall with well-pro- portioned feet and hands. We do not know how many Indians -inhabited this Island at the time of its dis- covery bv Jacques Cartier, but certainly their number was much greater than at the present time. as the Island was a favourite sum- mer camping ground for the red men of the mainland.

The Island Indians lived in wig- wams scattered across the country, with their chief village at Mal- pcque. Generally one wigwam was larger than the rest and in this. the chief met for council: and near it was an open space where the Indians held worship or amusement.

The everyday dress of the tribe consisted of little clothing. during the summer months - no more ihan was necessary for comfort. In winter they dressed in skins. fibrous plants and the bark of trees. In times of ceremony, they dressed elaborately with showy garments bedecked with shells. feathers etc. Before going on the warpath. they painted their faces and bodies with bright colours.

Our island rcd men lived chief- ly on fish and wild game. but they did cultivate some small patches of corn. Except in times of scar- city, they were well fed and lived heartily and in perfect freedom.

Domestic animals were very rare. the dog being the only one that was common among them. He was used to tote loads, as a com- panion-hunter and a protector.

0 O I

The tribe discovered by Cartier knew how to make flint. knives. spears. fish-hooks. sewing needles. axes. pipes. pots etc. Many of these were wrought with great skill and cunningly patterned. From rushes, grass and the fibre of various plants, they wove coarse fa-brics. They were especially clever when it came to making baskets. an art which is practiced to this day. They also knew how to preserve skins and make fine leather from them. This and other industries fell to the lot of the women, for the men considered it a disgrace to labor.

Boys and girls had their games as their white brothers and sisters had. The girls had dolls, often dressed cutely in the costumes of their parents: while the boys played with bows and arrows. walked on stilts. wrestled among themselves or went on fishing and hunting expeditions. Their par- ents. too, were fond of amuse- mcnts. most frequently of an ath- letic type. They sang a kind of chant. and played upon crude mus- ical instruments, drums. whistles, rattles and flutes. all of which made more noise than music.

Gambling was common among them and more than one brave lost all his possessions when Lady Luck turned against him.

The highest ambition of a boy was to be a warrior for the tribe celebrated the deeds of its great men and kept a record of their valiant doings. Great respect was paid to the dead. Usually the fav- orite possessions of the deceased were buried with mm.

The oldest person was usually chosen leader and ruler. Marriages among close related families was taboo. but few girls married out- side the tribe. Children usually belonged to the mother and were cared for by her relatives, so that a man kept ward over his sister's children rather than his

own. Laws were strictly enforced and punishments were severe. The

women folk had limited rights but in most instances man was su- preme.

in religion. they believed that every living thing was inhab.led and controlled by a spirit.

Besides herbs. the Micmacs cured themselves by means 01' charms which were also supposed to protect them from all harm.

A hobby which might easily be- come a full-time occupation is be- ing developed by Mrs. Mark Ma- lone. Malpeque Road.

Situated just outside the city of Charlottetown. Mrs. Malone has opened her Island Pottery Studio, and as shown in the above picture. is busy every day with her hands, fashioning attractive pieces of pot- tery from humble clay, Last year her entire stock was sold. and the hobby is proving ii great success financially. as well as giving the artist the pleasure of creating.

Mrs. Malone studied potting in England. and later taught it be- fore coming -lo Prince Edward Island as the wife of a Souris man whom she met during the war. She is now realizing an ambition as she mixes and strains the clays, shapes, fires and glazes them into most attractive and ser- viceable vases, lugs. and ash trays.

Arriving in this Province in 1946. Mrs. Malone immediately be- came conscious of the potting pos- sibilities nf Island clay, and by the end of 1948 had concluded her experiments. and found that by mixing it with clay from Nova Scotia excellent clay for working on the wheel was possible.

island clay alone is porous after firing. and us it is imperative that most pieces hold water. Mrs.

Utilizes Prince, Edward Island Clay In Fashioning Artistic Pottery Ware

Malone suffered many disappoint- ments before dixcoverlng the right

combination. She now imports part of her material from Nova Scotia in the form of large blocks, and breaks it down with an ordin- ary hammer.

It Is then combined with clay which she gathers locally and the two are soaked in water. after which the mixture is stirred by the hands and then left to settle. Water which has risen to the top is then poured off. and the re- maining mixture placed on plaster of parls batts which soak up more of the moisture.

Clay should then be the right consistency to work on the pot- ter's wheel, which is when the fun really starts. The most fas- cinuting part of the potler's craft is shaping the lumps of clay with the hands as the wheel slowly turns. Although the intention might be to make two pieces alike. it is seldom that exact duplicates come from the hands of the ar- tist. A shade too much clay. or a slightly different curve of the fingers is all that is needed to change the contours of the piece being turned.

Firing is another important phase of the craft. and for this Mrs. Malone uses an electric kiln which is capable of heating to two thousand degrees. and suitable for firing semi-porcelain. Most pieces.

When the piece comes from the kiln after its first firing it is in what is known as the biscuit form and is an attractive terra cotta color.

Instead of buying ready mixed commercial glazes, which is the easiest way to finish the pottery. Mrs. Malone is constantly ex- perimenting with chemicals and has numerous recipes which she keeps of each experiment.

One piece she showed was in an attractive gunmetal finish. and Mrs. Malone said she had been quite sure that it would be a green color when taken from the kiln. The chemicals are mixed and sprayed onto the piece to be fired, and it. is not until it is taken out after firing that one discovers the color.

Asked what color a group of white piece: would be after fir- ing Mrs. Malone smiled. and stat- ed that they were expected to be a dark rich green. Other color: which she has found are in shades of blue. and yellow. A few very attractive small vases were in a light blue. with rich dark blue running in streaks from the top Pieces like this would take two flrlgigs for the glaze, Mrs. Malone sai .
