Excerpt from The Song of U-Ri-on-Tah, or the Secret History of the Oom-Paugh and the Bee-Ess In short, it may be affirmed that the American Indians believe that every element is a part of the creative God. Whenever Indian sentiment is expressed, there is a tendency to the pensive, the reminiscent. It may be questioned whether hope is an ingredient of the Indian mind. All the tendency of reflection is directed toward the past., He is a man of reminiscences rather than anticipation. Intellectualization has seldom enough influence to prevail over the present, and still more rarely over the future.
