Text Appearing Before Image: Turtle-shell Rattle; IROQUOIS (i-s) HuPA rattle; (mason) offer to the composer a wealth of melodic and rhythmic movements, and that pecu- liar inspiration which heretofore has been obtained solely from the folk songs of Europe. Musical Instruments.âDrums vary in size and structure, and certain ceremonies have their jjeculiar type. On the N. W. coast a plank or box serves as a drum. Whis- tles of bone, wood, or pottery, some producing two or more tones, are employed in some cere- monies; they symbolize the cry of birds or ani- mals, or the voices of spirits. Pandean pipes, which occur in South America, were unknown in the northern conti- nent until recent times. In the S. W., notched sticks are rasped together or on gourds, bones, or baskets, to accentuate Text Appearing After Image: Gourd Rattle; hopi; 1-6. (Stevenson) NOTCHED stick AND DEER Scapula used for rattle; Hopi; 1-12. (stevenson) â M -8. (boas) OMAHA Flute. (j. o. Dorset) 'I rhythm. The flageolet is widely distrib- uted and is played by young men dur- ing courtship; it also accompanies the songs of certain Pueblo ceremonies. Rattles (q. V.) were universal. The intoning of rituals, incan- tations, and speeches can hardly be regarded as of musical character. The musical bow is used by the Maidu of California and by the Tepehuane, Cora, and Huichol tribes of the Piman stock in Mexico. Among the Maidu this bow plays an important part in reli- gion and much sorcery is connected with it.
