164 PICTOGRAPHS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS. 



Moqui mind. It. consists of a small quantity of wild honey, wrapped up in a wrapper 

 or inner fold of the husk of the maize, as represented iu E, [reproduced in Figure 67.] 

 It is accompanied by these remarks: 



"A charm to call down rain from heaven. — To produce the effect desired, the Presi- 

 dent must take a piece of the shuck which contains the wild honey, chew it, and spit 

 it upon the ground which needs rain ; and the Moquis assure him that it will come." 



The Maori used a kind of hieroglyphical or symbolical way of com- 

 munication ; a chief inviting another to join in a war party sent a tat- 

 tooed potato and a fig of tobacco bound up together, which was inter- 

 preted to mean that the enemy was a Maori and not European by the 

 tattoo, and by the tobacco that it represented smoke; he therefore 

 roasted the one and eat it, and smoked the other, to show he accepted 

 the invitation, and would join him with his guns and powder. Another 

 sent a water-proof coat with the sleeves made of patchwork, red, blue, 

 yellow, and green, intimating that they must wait until all the tribes 

 were united before their force would be water-proof, i. e., able to en- 

 counter the European. Another chief sent a large pipe, which would 

 hold a pound of tobacco, which was lighted in a large assembly, the 

 emissary taking the first whiff, and then passing it round ; whoever 

 smoked it showed that he joined in the war. See Te Ika a Maui, by 

 Key. Eichard Taylor, London, 1S70.
