Description
The Indian Tribes looked forward to a future life of happiness and peace. That life was conceived as the perfect model of present existence. Whatever was good and beautiful of the present life was to be continued to the warrior after death. The Indian heaven consisted of a vast and beautiful country of streams and lakes and summer suns, fruits and flowers, and a limitless supply of game. The notion of the hereafter was mixed and mingled between mankind and the lower animals. The Indians showed their respect for the dead of the tribe by funerals and the establishment of burial grounds. The sites of the latter were chosen with care. Beauty of situation and the character of the soil were considered, and the Indian burial places are, almost without exception, in the most pleasing landscapes of America.
