Agriculture ot the Pueblo lndians By Donald Hongeva OR many years farming has been the most essential part of the work of the Pueblo Indians. Whe1'e water was available, there was a farm. Crude imple- ments were used. Hard labor and constant work made the Pueblos one of the most industrious people of today. ' As one can see, farming is much easier today because ofthe tools now in use. It is hoped that theyounger generation will have machinery like that of the white race. Rainfall is by no means sufhcient to carry the crop through the summer. The Pueblo people live in New Mexico and Arizona, which are desert country.Water is the great need of these people. Of late years an irrigation system has been built so that many farmers have water when they need it, but not all the people have an available irrigation supply. Where there is no system, wells are being dug, springs are being opened and small dams are being built. After preparing the soil for planting, corn is soaked in water to give it some moisture to start with. Long sticks, Hat and sharp at one end, are used to make a hole to plant the corn. Pumpkins,water melons, and vegetables are plan t- ed in the same way. The orchards are very small, located on hillsides, or the owners may have a few trees scattered here and there on their farms. Small warehouses are built for storing the produce ul' the farni. The peo- ple of the Pueblo tribe can thrive on their crops and the little money that is earned goes for clothes, flour, sugar, and coltiee. These lndians do not have to worry about rent on their farms or houses. ffaffyfvc-

They were starting that journey of four years which was to bring them to graduation land. Twice since then the group has reorganized, and, although manv former members have .left the class, many new faces have appeared in the ranks. At the end ofthe third year ofthe jour- ney, the eighty members ofthe class are striving to follow the original motto, Onward Ever, Backward Never The luniors are well represented in the student activities and oganiza- tions. You will find them in the Lela Wala National Home Economics Club, in the Iunior Lions, Lion Tamers, Girls Scouts, Boy Scouts, band, and orchestra. Sixteen luniors belong to the new dramatic club recently organized at Sherman. During the Christmas Holidays the luniors with the Sophomores and Sen- iors had a party in the gymnasium gaily decorated in Christmas colors. But the most important social event for the lunior Class is the annual lunior-Senior banquet and prom. The theme ofthe toast program for May 8, 1955, was the 1955 and 1956 models, with Edward Swick, Elizabeth Wynookie, Zelma Rowles, Assistant Superintendent Westhafer, and Superintendent Biery con- tributing the toasts. The hosts and their guests danced in the gymnasium gay inlgalms, pepper boughs, lapanese Lanterns, and streamers of blue, white, and go . Edward Swick is the lunior president. Miss Ieanette E. Lemley and Mr. Iames E. Mick are the class sponsors. -F0r!y-f0ur-

The Coahuillas were a peace loving people, but the tribes in the neigh- boring mountains were very warlike and often swept down upon them laying waste their fields, burning their villages and murdering the women and children. At last they were forced to seek another dwelling place. Now, because the Coahuillas had always been peaceful the Great Spirit looked upon them with special favor and listened to their pleas for guidance to a country where they could make their homes in peace. The God of Peace direct- ed their medicine men to lead the people west- ward over the mountains, instructing them that a fiery arrow would direct the way to a favor- able homeland. And lo, so it was. An arrow blazing with light at night and dark like a cloud by day traveled across the sky ahead of them until they came to the San Bernardino mountains where it settled down upon the mountainside with the point extending toward the fruitful valley. The shaft of the arrow was consumed by fire but the head imbedded itself on the mountain slope above what was to be the happy homes of the Coahuillas. And there it can be seen to this day beyond the city of San Bernardino in the direction of Lake Arrowhead. -F0riy-.rL'x- I 1 r u I 3 S
