QUAINT REGALIA OF COLUMBIAN INDIAN |
|
| These are Siwash Indians, and their name is a corruption of the word "sauvage," which the early Canadians applied to them. Settled in British Columbia they are engaged for the most part in fishing, fruit-canning, hunting, the lumber industry, prospecting, and acting a guides. Many of them have the good fortune to be exceedingly prosperous people | With small, piercing eyes, prominent nose, and firm chin, the counterpart of this British Columbian abounds among the Indians of Canada. His tribal scars mean as much to him as does the clan's tartan to a Highlander |
