Copper Colored Women Demand E:ran-

The new woman has made her appear.
ancc on the Cree Indian reservation, and
she is red. The brages arc astunishcd and
swear vengeance upon the promoters OF
the emancipation scheme. Il ell happened
through the enlightenment received by
Minnewinka at IN eastern school, whittier
she was sent by the consent Of her parents
some years ago.
Minnew:nka was Crow, which makes
i5 ell the harder for the Cree warriors to
bear When she came baCa 10 the Yasaya-
tion, she was Miss Minnie Winka, and she
wore garments that were strange to her
tribe. She spoke English fluently. She
could read and write. She wore high
hcelcd shoes in preference u nio-casins.
She discarded the blanket for the covert
cibth jaekct. Instead Of the shawl about
hdr meek she wore feather boa.
And OF course it came TO pass that she
was hated by all the old Grow squaws,
who allowed that she was stuck up ard
that no good would como Of her superiori-
~ in Caucasian accomplishments.
Then Minnewinka up and ran away
with 4 lazy Cree buck who had been hang
ing about the place for some time. lie
wore trousers and coat, which formed
the basis o: her preference.
And 50 it was that Minnewinka. the
ncw squaw, came among the Crees. "Gond
riddance!" said the Crow squaw5 who did
not like Minuio's bringing up.
Bur TIE Croe5 did not think so. For
three days there were fcasting and merry
making. NTap-Up- nis-Tlii had cauturcd

with Mirnia's husband.
This gals 200 good Ter you, Wrap. and
.hnt's all there is about It. Don't let me
over hear of you licking her again, said
Thomas rs he rode away.
Thereafter Minncwinka had things all
her own way. Not only this. but she
preached sCCitiUn among tho other squnws
who, pcrcei,ing what an easy time Minnie
was having, began % grow discoEtcntcd.
so tho autumn passed and winter came
on, the squaws performing their oncrous
duties with ever Increasing disgust.
Through the prosolytinc OF Minnie they
came to realize what every one else around
there has known foc long ti;nu-that the
Cree warrior is lazy, drunken, sbirtless
and good for nothing.
About six weeks ago on cold, frosty
morning, 20 Cree squBws, headed by Min

gothor and went down Cn the Musse!shell
