these Indians lived so far from the

of the Great Smoky Mountains,
that it is not improbable that some
ot Ihc .e interior Cherokecs did not

devotion to his family is one of
the high points In his civilization,
his respect for all forms of life,

even today will not take more fish

to him a symbol of eternal life.
Do you think that the thousands
of crude, broken, or half finished
artifacts which may be found in
the field once known to the Indian
is a testimony of his ideal. Such
things were the rejects for his
ion of workmanship which we may
call his credentials for entrance to
the Happc Hunting Ground.
Anything else?"
"Yes, sir." the man replied,
