The Indian was a religious man from his mother's womb.

No one who is at all acquainted with the Indian in his home can deny that we are a polite people.

Indian names were either characteristic nicknames given in a playful spirit, deed names, birth names, or such as have a religious and symbolic meaning.

The religion of the Indian is the last thing about him that the man of another race will ever understand.

The logical man must either deny all miracles or none, and our American Indian myths and hero stories are perhaps, in themselves, quite as credible as those of the Hebrews of old.

There was no religious ceremony connected with marriage among us, while on the other hand the relation between man and woman was regarded as in itself mysterious and holy.
