critical investigation of the whole sub- 

 ject, with the aid of native Lenai>e schol- 

 ars, in "The Leniipe and their Legends, 

 with the complete text and symbols of 

 the Walam Glum," as No. 5 of his li- 

 brary of Aboriginal American Literature, 

 Phila., 1885. 



After sifting the evidence as to its au- 

 thenticity, Brinton concludes (p. 158): 

 "It is a genuine native production, which 

 was repeated orally to some one indiffer- 

 ently conversant with the Delaware lan- 

 guage, who wrote it down to the best of his 

 ability. In its present form it can, as a 

 whole, lay no claim either to antiquity or 

 to purity of linguistic form. Yet, as an au- 

 thentic modern version, slightly colored 

 by European teachings, of the ancient 

 tribal traditions, it is well worth preser- 

 vation and will repay more study in the 

 future than is given it in this volume. 

 Tlie narrator was probably one of the na- 

 tive chiefs or priests, who had spent his 

 life in the Ohio and Indiana towns of 

 the Lenape, and who, though with some 

 knowledge of Christian instruction, ])re- 

 ferred the pagan rites, legends, and myths 

 of his ancestors. Probably certain lines 

 and passages were repeated in the archaic 

 form in which they had been handed down 

 for generations." (j. m. ) 



Walapai {XawdlapdiyO', 'pine tree 

 folk.' — Harrington). A Yuman tribe 



of Arizona, occupying Hualapai, Y'ava- 

 l)ai, and Sacramento valleys, the Cerbat 

 and Aquarius mts. forming the south- 

 ern iiart of tlii'ii- ranee. Tlicv lived 



WALAPAI WOMA 



originally living on middle Colorado r., 

 above the Mohave tribe, from the great 

 bend eastward, well into the interior 



chiefly by the chase and on roots and 

 seeds. They are said to have been brave 

 and enterprising, but physically inferior 

 to the Mohave. The Havasupai, who are 

 an offshoot, speak a closely-related lan- 

 guage. The Walapai numbei'ed 728 in 

 1889, 631 in 1897, and 498 in 1910. They 

 are under the administration of a school 

 superintendent on the Walapai res. of 

 730,880 acres in n. w. Arizona, and are 

 making little progress in civilization. 

 They cultivated only 57 acres during 1904, 

 but owned 2, 000 horses. The name Santa 

 IMargarita was applied by the Spaniards 

 to one of their rancherias.
