SMITHSONIAN PARTY
HOPE DECIDE WHERE
INDIANS CAME FROM
EXPEDITION COMING TO ALASKA
THIS SUMMER TO SEEK
DATA ON THE SUBJECT
—
WASHINGTON, D. C., May T.—An
expedition that may uncover traces
1 of America’s first inhabitants will be
' undertaken by the Smithsonian Insti
tution this summer.
Headed- by Hr. J. Walter Fawkes,
i chief of the bureau of ethnology, the
! institution will send a mission :nto
lower Alaska to search for evidence
fo a migration to America from
Asia centuries ago.
“There is no doubt in my mind”
said Fev.keis, “that America Tom
said Fewkes, “that the first emi
grants crossed to America from Asia,
I via Bering strait. We must find
the remains of cooking utensils, brok
en spears, broken tomahawks, e’c.,
. i
| tha-t they left behind.’’
While searching for evidence o: the
first settlers, Fewkes will have sev
eral other groups of scientists at
work seeking additional information
’on the American Indian and Ameri
'can food products. At the present
j time he has an expen investigator
'in Santa Barbara. Cal., running dowx
“disappearing languages.
Fewkes is parficulatly anxious to
find out how old the American In
dian is, and when fie came to tfiis
country.
“We must find out,'” fie said.
I “whether he came here by way o:
'Australia or by way o: Bering srait.
However, fie came here and we have
| the other problem to deal with. Hid
| he come singly or in hi des. clars r
in some other way? That leads us
into the question of migration.
“There is one thing v; idfi I think
is very evident, that, *1 vrever he
came here, he lived for a certain
length of time under the environ
ment whicfti made him an American
Indian and differentiated him from
other races. A good man people
contend that the Ascertain Indian
was a Chinaman.”
Culture of the Indians, Fe»wkes
is&ta. is rapidly passing
“We are on the eve of the destruc
tion of all that was interesting
scdentificaJly, outside o: psychology,
in the American Indiai Nov we
are turning into the in' estimation of
the past history and the character
of the aborigines when America was
discovered.
Fawkes believes the cliff dwellers
and the mound builders were the di
rect ancestors of the Indians who
were living here when the white race
came. Investigators o: the institu
tion, Fewkes said, have discovered a
ruin that dates back as far as 30€»
B. C.
Another mysterious question that
Fewkes wants to solve is how long it
took the first settlers in this country
to develop edible fruits or roots, such
as the potato and Indian com.
