OLD SANTA FE TRAIL 83 One singular circumstance I learned was that there is no vulgarity in the Indian language. Indi- ans name things from circumstances that take place at the time. If a child is born and a horse dies, the child is called "Dead Horse. " Nearly all of the Indian children put in school were renamed. A great many of their names are ridiculously vul- gar when translated into English. I was present when they enrolled the names of Indians and In- dian families after the Kansas treat...y, so they could receive their annuity from the goverment. They were required to give their Indian names and to in- terpret them. A great many names were so vulgar they were not recorded. CHAPTER XIX. QUAKER MISSION FAMILY.
