Text Appearing Before Image:
PRIMITIVE ART ^3 Cases O, 12 and P Coast Tribes of Washington and Tribes of the Interior OF British Columbia.—The general character of the decorative art of this region is entirely different from that of the coast tribes of Alaska described before. The ornamentation applied by the tribes of the interior to their garments and to objects of every-day use is throughout pictographic; that is to say, it consists of realistic representations of natural objects, which are connected, and tell a complete story. We notice, for instance, on a painted blanket
Text Appearing After Image:
in Case 12 /, a number of animal and human figures. A mountain- range rising on the earth is shown above the fringe. On the upper part of the blanket, two suns are shown, outside of which are two beetles. In the center is a stag pursued by two Indians. The figures near the right and left margins are grizzly bears. On the lower part of the blanket two loons are shown. These are painted on a large scale because they are the guardian spirits of the wearer. Between them there is a lake with trees around one side, and a canoe and a man in the center. Trail-lines between the loons indicate that they belong to the lake. The owner's pipe is painted on the lower right-hand corner. The idea expressed by these figures is a prayer for success in hunting on mountain and lake. The hunters and the canoe-man represent the wearer of the blanket; the suns, beetles and loons are his guardian spirits.
