DOCTOR DORSEY DEFENDS
SUN DANCE OF INDIANS.
Denies mitigating self-Torture and
Says Allegations to That Eject
Are Not Disinterested.

Los Angeles. Cal. Aug. 12-Doctor George
A. Dorsey. curator of anthropology ot(the
Field Columbian Museum OF Chicago. who
has just arrived here. has given out an In
terview concerning the published accounts
OF his recent visit with Doctor Mooney to
the Cheyenne Indians in Oklahoma.
Doctor Dorsey contends that the sun
dance is religion to the Indians. and that
they have a right to celebrate 1t under the
clause of the Constitution granting Ameri-
can citizens freedom of worship.
With regard to statements made to the
Indian Bureau at Washington by Mr.. Seger
Superintendent of the Reservation School
Doctor Dorsey makes charges of duplicity
and ignorance. and says that Seger's ale
cations were not disinterested.
Concerning the torture itself, which Mr..
Seger describes" said Doctor Dorsey. mot
only did Doctor Mooney and myself not in
stigate 1t. but We actually knew nothing
about 1t until the Indian was well on his
way making his rounds of the camp circle.
This torture occurred. by the way, on the
morning following the final rites Of the cere-
mony. and had nothing to do with the per-
formance Of the so-called sun dance
