melodies on the harp, as presented by

was spent with the tribe, where, with
the other children, she listened to the
stories and songs of the old men, for in
this way, Indian history is transmitted
from one generation to the next. Later
she was sent to Haskell Institute. a
government school for Indians, where
she remained until she graduated, after
which she went to Boston, where she
is now completing her studies on the
harp at the Conservatory of Music.
