- Title
TWO AMERICAN INDIAN DANCES.

- Abstract
The article compare two American Indian peoples, the Mohave-Apache Indians on the Verde River, Arizona and the Pueblo Indians on the upper Rio Grande, New Mexico. The Mohave-Apache Indians seems to be made up of individuals very little subordinated to society, but now and then combined in a mob by temporary impulses. The Pueblo Indians is a society so organised that each man is as responsible and as dependent as a player in an orchestra; and, though the mob is not an unknown phenomenon there, it occurs somewhat more rarely than among the individualized populations of white America. In material culture, the Mohave-Apache are much less advanced than the Pueblo Indians. They used to live in scattered camps on the hills overlooking the Verde River; wherever a spring broke out, there two or three families were grouped together. The Pueblo Indians live in compact villages, with houses built almost continuously around a central plaza. The Mohave- Apache used to shift with the seasons, though within a limited area. A Pueblo Indian, normally, lives all his life and dies at last without moving his dwelling-place many yards from the house where he was born.
