as were all communal hunts. The communal hunting 
of antelope, deer, and elk, because of their scarcity, 
has disappeared in recent years, but such hunts for 
rabbits are still maintained. The men, women, and 
boys surround a large tract of suitable land, drive the 
rabbits toward the center and then kill them with bows 
and arrows and with throwing sticks. These clubs 
resemble in form the Australian boomerang but do not 
have the particular character which makes that imple- 
ment return to the thrower. Deer and antelope may 
have been hunted in a similar manner, but Capt. Bourke 
in 1881 saw corrals of brush near the Hopi mesas into 
which antelope were driven. Still hunting by individu- 
als was, of course, practised. Mr. Cushing tells in de- 
tail how fetishes were used in such hunts. 
Fish were taken for food in the Rio Grande region 
where there seems to be no taboo against their use. 
The Zuni share with their nomadic neighbors, the Navajo 
and Apache,a dread of anything living in the water. 
One of the most interesting phases of Southwestern 
life was the relation existing between the sedentary 
and nomadic peoples. We are told by the Coronado 
writers and by Espejo that the nomadic peoples of the 
Plains and of the mountains of the Southwest brought 
the meat and the hides of buffalo and deer to the 
pueblos and exchanged them for mantles of cotton and 
for corn. This exchange of products allowed one people 
to concentrate upon agriculture and the other upon 
hunting, yet each to have both corn and meat for food, 
and cotton cloth and dressed skins for clothing.
