"OODEES"

The Indians "Little People" of the American Continents.

Long ago, Mother Moon sent the "Little Oodee's" to live on the earth. They are about one inch tall and live in the undergrowth.

Flowing long black hair and big black eyes is their trade mark.

When you are out in the wilds, look closely and you may see one of them.

Here they are pictured in various Indian costumes.
