Pancas.
THE OLD CUSTOMS OBSERVED
Pathetic Spectacle Of People Al

to Traditions Of Fathers.

BLISS, o. T., May lion May 9Th,
the Ponca Indians observed one of tho
most impressive ceremonies In the his
tory, Of the modern American Indian. 1t
was the Inauguration Of Horse Chief as
ruler Of the tribe and was carried out
according to the old traditions. The
Ponca Indians. though considered pro-
gressive among the blanket tribes. are
grcut sticklers for pomp and ceremony
and observe closely the traditional GUS
toms of their forefathers.
The inauguration Of Horse Chief fol-
lows one5 of tho most interesting bits OF
Indian history. a year ago at the an
nual sun dance, Chief White Eagle who
had ruled the tribe for thirty-five years,
gave up his place to his son. This is
unusual among these people, for a pros
pcctive chief usually has to wait until
the Great Spirit removes the old ruler,
before he has an opportunity to take the
place.
White Eagle realized that he was grow
Ing old and desired to turn the affairs
of tho tribe over to younger hands. This
action was In accordance with his whole
reign. He was good ruler and his
tribe was always wisely advised. lie was
friendly to the whites and his policy has
been to advance the interests OF his peo-
Pile through civilization. He was popu-
lar with the tribe and on that account
had much to do with making the Poncas
What they are to-day. White Eagle was
also popular with the government Off

rartment. He fully realized that his tribe
