SPEECH OF CHIEF JOHN
GRASS BEFORE SENATE

Chief Grass of the Sioux Nation,
speaking before the Senate of the
state OF North Dakota, Saturday, Ap
ril 20, 1911, said:
My friends, ladies and Senator's
When l came to this town here, Bis.
marck, didn't expect to come up
here and face all these people. am
just about scared so that l couldn't
express myself. A real genuine In.
dian, you all know that he don't know
anything, just what he actually saw
and sees.
In early days there used to be lots
Of buffaloes around here and l used
to be pretty good riding horseback;
bareback at that, in those days. In
these woods there used to be lots of
deer and antelope and many times l
used to chase them for miles and
miles, and didn't know then that l
was going to dress like white men,
and l didn't know then that | would
face such people today.
The first time when | got mixed
up with the white people was the time
when We went to Washington; that
was the first outbreak before the
Black Hills, and l dressed-I was
dressed to kill, regular Indian fashion
thought l looked pretty then. After
l seen the Great Father, he told me
then that would have to dress like
white people some of these fine days,
and l find today that it is so. have
my photograph taken in the Indian
costume as we'll as in civilized dress.
In comparing those two photographs,
I often wonder what a fool l was.
Then l satisfied myself that would
have to continually dress as a white
man, so when I got back and since
then l have encouraged the Indians.
that is, my tribe, to send their child.
rn to school; such small fellows,
about the age of this young man, lin
dicating the interpreter), and since
then l have been a frienl to the
whites. That is good many years.
and now you all see that am pretty
well aged today. Ever since that
Standing Rock reservation existed l
was appointed as chief Judge of that
reservation, and l have been in that
position for over thirty years, and
am now at the present time.
Well. my friends, I don't think I
have any more to say, only that I
have been here and just had a feel
ing I was pretty scared, but l wanted
to say something, SO said what had
to say. Continued applause.)
