The PamaulkeeS, who usurped
their possessions and held the coun-
try around jamestown when the Sax
son savage first met. is the only
branch of the great Powhatan tribe
that has kept its name at the Expo
sition, and those lovers of quaint and
romantic will enjoy the unique spec
| tacle of these ancient enemies of the
same race holding forth once more in
the land of their fathers, under the
patronage of and amid the palaces
and pagea1try of the white usurpers
Of their common domain.
Historically considered the Tuscar-
oras and Pamaunkees will be entitled
to the first consideration, but these
Will by no means complete the In
dian encampment at jamestown.
There will be some three hundred red
men in the great 101 Ranch Show from
Bliss, Oklahoma. These will include
Otoes from Mexico, and Poncas, Chey
en1es, Apaches, and Sioux from the
plains of the west. This stupendous
aggregation merits attention. not on
ly as being the greatest of the amuse-
ment features of the Exposition, but
for its unusually large and varied ex-
hibit of human types and animal life.
The 101 Ranch is perhaps the great
est of the cattle ranches of the nation
and the show business is somewhat
of departure from its usual line, or
in the nature of side issue to vary
the monotony of routine. At the end
of the seasons work it has been the
custom to assemble the cowboys and
Indians and take them for a holiday
jaunt through some of the larger cit
les In nlaCa where the
cation has exhibited the performance
was pronounced far superior to that
of any Wild West snow that has ap-
peared before them. Miller Brothers,
the proprietors realizing the great
possibilities at the Jamestown expos-
ton this year decided to send an ag-
gregation double the size of any they
had before exhibited, with the result
that fifteen carloads of parapnernalia
including a grand total of 500 Indians
Cowboys and girls, with riding stock
together with so long horn steers, and
herd of thirty-eight buffalo, will set
up camp at the Exposition for the en-
tire summer. Among the prominent
Indian chiefs will be White Eagle, of
Custer massacre fame; Big Wolf,
nigh ranking chief of the Cheyennes,
Little Hole, chief of the PoncaS; and
WahTa-Waso, an Indian Princess of
great beauty, and suggesting in type
and character the famous Pocahontas
Besides these the aggregation will in
clurie the best Wild West talent the
experience of Miller Brother can pro-
vide.
The English-American drama of
"PocanontaS" is another Exposition
enterprise featuring the American In
dian, and in which he will be accord |
ed, as never before. the dignity and
distinction to which his history and |
character entitle him. For the first
time on the American stage the In
dian will have place in a classical
and legitimate drama. This play will |
be presented in a Norfolk theater, and |
being under the same management |
as the 101 Ranch Show. Indians |
from the latter concern will be selec- |
ted for the group parts and war dane |
es. The magnificent spectacular ef- |
fects of its stage pictures, portraying
the characters, scenes and Incidents |
of the jamestown settlement, with the |
elegance of dialogue, and rep
resenting the sentiment of the occa-
sion, encourages the promoters to be-
lieve that they will present to EXposi-
ton visitors Americas greatest dra-
ma. From this it will be seen that
the American Indian will have full
honors accorded him at the James
town EynOSitiOD
