REPORT OF DIRECTOR AND STATE GEOLOGIST 1900 r235 



The Iroquok were also workers in brass; but few specimens of 

 that metal are in existence, rings being specially rare. The cross 

 in silver and the double cross are commonly worn by the pagans 

 as ornaments only, and by the Christianized Indians as a s\inbol 

 of faith. The eagle, which so conspicuously figures in their 

 mythology, is frequently seen in brooch and earring. Also the 

 heron and snipe and a rude shield. There is also proof of clan 

 .and personal friendship in the designs of many of the brooches.
