Final rnw-Wow and Dancs.
: The great and final pow-wow and dance
OF the Sioux was held Saturday night
about tive miles from Pierre over on the
reservation. The Sioux have been gather
ing for several days aud have been having
big meeting, which was changed to a
great dance. These dances have been held
at regular intervals, but this is to be the
last one held On the reservation before the
tribes leave for their new quarters. The
assembly was IL monster one and is said
to have been the larRest gathering of the
Sioux that has been held for many years.
All the noted chiefs we're there.
A big discussion was held as to whether
the Indians had better take up lands in
severalty or all go back to the lands which
are left them. Johu Grass, the noted
Sioux orator, made an earnest and touch
ing speech, in which he urged the Sioux to
be men and not sIuuws, 10 take the land.
and make I cir living.
Sitting Bull and the rest of the chiefs
took the opposite side of the question.
Sitting Bull expressed his hatred Of the
government nnd the whites and said only
squaws should work and he and his small
band would still take their provisions from
the government.
The result Of the meeting was a decision
not to take up lands, but to go back on the
new reservation aud let the government
continue issuing rations. Only q few
squaw men and half. breeds will goto FARM
ing.
