Title:
Superstitions of their ancestors.

Scope & Content:
Typewritten paper pertaining to superstitions of the Mashpee Indians.
The Indians retain few of the superstitions of their ancestors: perhaps they are not more superstitious than their white neighbours. They still, however, preserve a regard for sacrifice rocks, on which they cast a stick or stone, when they pass by them.
They themselves can hardly inform us why they do this, or when it began to be a custom among them.
