MAKE them as polished as all
the advantages of civilization
afford; yet the Chippewas yearn
for freedom on the land of their
forefathers, rather than get out
and hustle for a living, as many
are capable of doing.
"Government annuities, with
the sale of allotments and tin: cher
lands, give to the Indians consid-
cradle money with which to pur-
chase things dearest to their hearts,
but a marriage license isn't one Of
them.
"Tbcy love fine clothes and
most of them are we'll dressed
almost "dandihed"-but no matter
how 'danditied" they prefer the
old Indian custom of taking their
brides to their wigwams, with no
further ceremony required. Like
wise do they prefer the simple
method of divorce, permitted un-
der tribal rules, to that of the
long-fought law contests, for tribal
rules give them back their free
dom when they simply walk from
the wigwam, taking up their
abode with some other lady OF
their choice.
THE federal government recog-
nizes such marriages and divorces,
but federal employees are doing all
they can to break up the tribal
custom, despite tbei: lack of sue
cess"
The author of the article quoted
above in his enthusiasm to discuss
matter that he apparently knows
yely little about, has made the
mistake of putting all the Chippe'
was in the same class, as he states
that the condition he refers to
exists among the 'ciyilized' and
uncivilized members Of the Chip
pewa tribe alike, who, he says
prefer the old Indian custom Of
taking their brides to their wig
vans with no further ceremony
required" In the first place we
do not believe there Is wigwam
in Minnesota that is the permanent
habitat of any Indian. So far as
the Chippewas taking brides
without the formality of the mar
rage license we doubt very much
whether they are any more apt at
this practice than their white
brothers, in fact we believe they
are not as bad if considered in
porportion to the whites. Our own
observations have shown US that
the old Indian custom of tribal
marriage is becoming more obso-
lete each year, and in instances
where they have lived together as
man and wife without license to
do so they have, in most cases,
been taken in charge by the au-'
thorities and made to conform to
state laws in this regard or suffer
the consequences. as u result this
practice is fast disappearing among
the Chippewas, except possibly in
out of the way places and among
the more ignorant of the full
blood element, which no doubt are
