Wonderful ReOgious Ceremony Dating Back Before Conquest The Moqui snake dance is a rel ic
of ancient savagery, more weird and horrible than anything that can be seen in darkest Africa.- Yet it is performed by our native sons, our first Americans, ,. . . . _ _ .
Roosevelt wrote it up I n the Saturday''Evening Post. He saw it las t August. I never saw it, but I am/Trc?-ing to write of i t I have visited two of the Moqui cliff cities, have seen the fjat. rock where the. snake dances are held; the ceremonial room where the actors make their preparations; the Indians who, have, taken part in the mystic rite and' I have talked with many a white man who has seeh the famous ratt lesnake dance.
But first let me locate the Moqui land. It is the most remote of any ofo the Indian reservations,, with the possible exception of Zuni, and the Hupi people remain, t h e nearest to what they were before Columbus iandsdr o f any of the American Indians.
