| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: American Indians |
 | | As a rule, the desert Indians, as the Apache, are spare and muscular in build, while those of the timbered regions are heavier, although not proportionately stronger. |
 | | The Indian was fond also of singing and had songs for every occasion love, war, hunting, gaming, medicine, satire, children's songs, and lullabies. |
 | | As war is the normal condition of savagery, so to the Indian warlike glory was the goal of his ambition, the theme of his oratory, and the purpose of his most elaborate ceremonial. |
