VERY SINGULAR FACTS.
beans, onions, melons, pumpkins, cotton, and a species of
tobacco-plant in the valleys around them. They also knit,
weave, and spin very nicely, as do the Zunis and the others
of the Pueblo tribes.
One very singular fact in connection with the Moquis is
deserving of especial mention, viz. the people of Harro,
although living within two hundred yards of another large
village, - the whole seven of these villages are within a
radius of six miles,- speak an entirely different language
from those of the remaining six villages, and seem to have
preserved their manners and customs intact, as well as their
language, for centuries; and another singular fact is, that
while the'people of Harro understand and can converse in
the language spoken by the people of the other villages,
they neither understand or can converse in the language
spoken by the people of Harro. With these and many more
interesting facts did the old cacique while away the morning
hours; but as I was accidentally brought into contact on the
following day with a couple of Moquis who came directly
from Harro, I shall give the reader some further account of
the manners and customs of this singular and primitive race
in a succeeding chapter.
As the time had arrived for us to start for the pueblo, I
asked the cacique if he would give us the origin or history
of the "Green-corn dance," to which request he willingly
assented, and gave the following account.
