38 belt, a pocket in the native dress of a man, or woman, is an unheard of thing. all the articles they may wish to carry are tied to the dress or hung to the belt.
The head of all indian men, women and children in their native state is uncovered by artificial covering; Nature has provided a luxuriant crop of fine, long black hair, which answers the purpose of hat, or bonnet as the case may be. All squaws carry a blanket, shawl or robe and this they will when in the presence of men or strangers throw over their heads as a screen rather than a protection. It would seem that the hair of an indian is never cut except by the scalping knife of an enemy, and while we have seen old men and women with silvery white hair, we never saw one bald.
