BLACKFEET INDIANS
FEAR WHITE HERDERS
Seek to Protect Lands From
Embodiment.

The Blackfeet Indians now in Wash
iugton for the purpose of comforting
with President Roosevelt and the In
terror Department regarding their raser-
walton, look upon their present trip as
the event of their lives. According 20
their interpreters, they are amazed at
many Of the sights they see and the
experiences they undergo
Their call at the White House yester-
day was in reality the climax OF .heir
trip though little more than the begin
ing Of their visit here The Presidents
friendship for the Indian is known to
all the tribes of the country They
look upon him as more nearly their
ideal Of The Great White Father" than
any man who has occupied his position
in many years. This is probably due
to the fact that they have heard much
of his hunting exploits and this has
made him seem more/1ike one of their
own race.
George Bird Grinnell, who is regarded
by the Blackfeet as their truest coun-
selor, is an authority on Indian lore,
hunting OF big game. forestry, and irri-
CATION. The President sent him 10 the
BIackfeet reservation a year ago as a
special commissioner. without salary. TO
look into the needs and general welfare
Of the tribe. He accompanied the dele
CATION here to watch out for its inter
ests should any legislation be proposed
to cover the matters under considera-
ton
Concerning these interests Mr.. Grin
nell said;
"Cattlemen Of the West have long de-
sired to secure some of the rich lands
Of the Blackfeet reservation in north
western Montana for their private Ie-ds.
Up to this time the Indians have refused
10 consider any leasing proposition
They have 1900 head Of cattle and do
not desire any encroa chmentson the re
servation Lately this has been threat
ened. Each year the herders of ont
side interests covet more and more the
pastures OF the tribe. and some Of the
Indians are therefore in favor Of max
/ ing an arrangement for leasing some Of
the lands along the outer edge Of the

One million acres is held by the
Blackfeet. and they have always gcard-
