WARRIORS AND TRIBES IN THEIR WONDERFUL COSTUMES WAITING TO 
GREET COL. ROOSEVELT. 
The Women and Children are in front and the Warriors at the back. The headgear 
of the warriors is most elaborate, being made of wicker work and shells with enormous 
ostrich plumes, which, though barbaric, makes a fantastic picture. Note the tail piece 
which the women on the right of the picture have on; that is the symbol of marriage 
and it is practically all of the clothes most of the women wear. The women and children 
nearly all have sticks or gourds in their hands and the warriors their long spears. Col. 
Roosevelt was greatly pleased with the reception given him by these native savages.
