Back:
Before the coming of the White Man the Indians had no
alphabet, but were able to express their meaning in a crude
way by picture writing and symbols. Many of these symbols
are still used by Indians in their ceremonials and in decorat-
ing their handicraft, such as silver jewelry, pottery, blankets
and beadwork. Here are just a few of them and their
meanings.
