HE Indians of Ameri
ca's Southwest have their own particular brand of clowns, "Delight Makers," they are called, or, in the Indian language, the "Kosharo."
These Indian clownis do not perform in any circus, but In the ceremonial dances that are held in the pueblos along the Rio Grande în Now Mexico and Arizona. There, on certain appropriate days, the Indians perform the ancient rites of the Corn Dances, the Rain Dance and other ceremonies just as their ancestors did long before America was dis- covered by the white man. It is at these dances that the Indian clowns perform.
The Con Dances are held in the Spring when the Indians pray to Mother Nature to nourish their growing crops and gruat them a good harvest. The Indian clowns weave in and out among the dancers and spectators, leasing and chasing the children, making jokes, and doing acroba- tle stunts just like our circus clowns.
PAINTED SKIN
These Indian "Delight Mak- ers". do not wear the familiar baggy trousers of the circus
clowns,, but merely a few scrape of skins. The rest of their bodies ara painted groy or the red- brown colour of Mother Earth, with black dots or stripes ali over them. Their hair is matied and tled with with grey clay corn husks. Sometimes they wear small leather medicine pouches at their sides and carry over- green twigs,
clowns
Rather queer-looking we think they are, when we are permitted to see them perform in the pueblos. And though we the at their jokes, as laugh others do, we sometimes won- dor if they are not paking fun at their visitors,
The Indians tell us that the Koshare. were not clowns really, at first, but represented the ghosts or spirits of their an- cestors, who had returned to- earth to help protect the harvest. Then, as they wove in and out among the people, everyone pre- tended not to notice them, sinco ghosts are supposed to be in-
visible.
Today, however, in most of the pueblos, the Koshare are just the "Delight Makers," whose tho only concern is to make dancers and the audience laugh at their horseplay and funny circus any antics, just like clown.
