the author: Indians of the Rio Grande valley of New Mexico and the north 
central mesas of Arizona are not only superstitious and fatalistic; but 
they are believers in immortality of animal as well as human hearts, 
except when burned. If a tale ends with the death of an animal its heart 
in new dress is simply transferred to some other place, and not 
extermination but a great joke has taken place -- the primitive idea of 
fun-making.  VG-/ NONE $150.00
