Description
Roosevelt Dam Trip
Quite a number of Apache
Indians live around Miami, Arizona.
The Apaches are very
nomadic, consequently their
homes are among the very
most primitive ^ones you find in
Indian-land.
I believe this type is called
wick-ie-up.
Goodness only knows how
many "reds" are in the
wickiup, but there were two
squaws, at least who insisted
that we pay them $2.00 for
the privilege of swapping
them. I offered 50 cts which I
considered ample but they
said no. Finally we decided
to be satisfied with a view of
their houses, and they howled because
we refused to pay 1.50 therefore.
After moving away we looked
back and one of them at stood outside
in a bright blue dress which she had
put on while dickering behind the
enclosure. Strange folk, these
Apache women make fine baskets.
