old INDIAN CHIEF
DIES NEAR PIERRE
First Hawk, Leading Man Of Bad Riv-
er Band Of Sioux

Pierre, s. d., Aug. 19.-The death
of First Hawk, at his home on Bad
river, recently, marked the passing Of
One of the few leading Indians of the
old school, who was too quick to grasp
the value of the white mans ways.
First Hawk. long a leader OF the
Sioux tribe, died from a rattlesnake
bite. He was "a years OF age and
active up to the time OF his death.
First Hawk was one of the big men
in the Two Kettle Band OF Sioux.
which was located on Bad river, as
far back an there is authentic history
OF the tribe. In 1876, he was a mem
Der Of the council held at old Fort
Bennett I pass upon the treaty which
coded the Black Hills section to the
government. First Hawk always in
sisted that the Indians coded this land
under a misapphrension. 1t was his
understanding, he declared, that the
land was to be leased to the white
men for gold mining and that part of
the proceeds was to have been given to
the Indians.
For a time. First Hawk was In dis
favor among the old chieftans be-
cause of his modern ideas. He sent
his son, Paul First Hawk, to q school
in Philadelphia. On the other hand
First Hawk seemed to realize that he
was too old to modernize himself and
he declined to migrat when scores
of his tribesmen moved to other sec
tions after the Black Hills became
| crowded with gold seekers. He new
err left his allotment on Bad river. 1t
is possible that he died a few yards
from the place of his birth.
First Hawk was considered more
valuable as a diplomat than al a war
rior So far as known, he did not
take a prominent part In aggressive
movements when his ace was on the
war path.
