among the most interesting given by
the Indians. Though some of these
redmen may ordinarily dress in the
store clothes of the white man they
are all interested enough in their
tribal dances to assume their ances-
trail garb when the dance and song
festivals occur. They look upon
many of these ceremonies as having
religious character expressive Of
their beliefs. The sun dance as given
by them always has its beginning in a
wOman's prayer for the recovery OF
the sick and the whole tribe come to-
gether to fulfil vows, to fast and TO
pray. as we'll as to seek what diver
sion dancing affords.
The chief dancer of these Indians is
Chief Fish Wolf Robe. He has many
handsome costumes. Some of them
are of buckskin with necklace of
many strands of beads and leggins
and mOccasins ornamented with pOrcu-
pine quilts. Another chief may wear
a war bonnet of feathers tipped with
stained horsehair. Otter and mink
skins are woven in and out and the
animals tails hang down behind.
Bracelets and leggins of tanned deer
skin ornamented with porcupine quilts
are common.
The Blackfeet Indians have from
time immemorial known OF a wonder
full trail which runs north and south
along the Rocky mountains Accord
ing to authorities who have gained
the confidence of the chiefs. no one
knows how old this trail is. 1t is
called the "Old North Trail and is
worn deep by the feet of travellers.
Though it is not used much now
since railroads have come. the deep
ruts still show amid weeds and
MOSES. This trail runs at uniform
/ distance from the Rockies, passes
near where the city of Helena now
stands and extends south as far as
: Mexico.
The road has been frequented by
! Canadian Indians as we'll as Ameri-
can redmen and it forks where, Cal
gary stands in Canada. This Old
North trail has many traditions con
nected with it and stories are told OF
expeditions of Canadian Indians who
went south to the dark skinned peo
pie (Mexicans). Ii took IL moons
of steady travelling.
There are many legends In Glacier
National Park connected with the
early life of the Blackfeet tribe. Ono
of these is associated with the beau
tiful Two Medicine lakes. Here j:
the story as told by a Blackfeet chief:
Many years ago there was a ia
mine in the land OF the Blackfeet
which is set down by my father from
1885 TO 1887. At that time the Black
feet Indians owned everything from
Hudson bay to the Rocky mountains
and in all that land there was NJ
green spot except in the valley tina
is called Two Medicine. Even tn,
buffalo left the country because Their,
was no food for them and the In
dams that sought refuge in the noun
tains found no game or anything t
eat except berries.
Then the old men of the tribe with
/. drew 10 the valley that is now calle'
, Two Medicine and built there tw

need. They worshiped the Grea

branches. This is for the ceremonies
OF the medicine lodge. There Is
motley crowd of Indians on
foot and on horseback. Mingling
with them are white men and women
from the adjoining country. All are
massed around a circular rope fence,
inside OF which the Biackfeet Indians
are holding their annual festival with
stories and sacred dances.
If you were liz Montana last June
this is what you would have witnessed
when 1000 Pieean Indians from Can
ada and this country held at Brown
ing. the Indian reservation just out
side of the Glacier National Park,
their remarkably festival. The vari-
colored tepees held members of many
tribes of Indians. The dances which
were witnessed are old. old. SO an

the onlookers you will see among the
crowd white men in khaki suits, high
boots. sombreros. and white women
watching the dances, which last fol
four or five days and which afford
the Indian an opportunity to renew
acquaintance and go through religi
Gus ceremonies.
Perhaps by your side is a young
Indian girl on a pony with trappingS

York society woman. and jogging ell
