Marshal foch Made
Chief Of Grow Indians;
y
Adopted by Tribe
Montana Red Men Pay French
r. Hero High Tribute at Grow Agency.

Marshal Foch was the central
figare of a notable ceremony last
week at the Crow agency, Grow
Indian reservation, Montana, when
be became member of the Crow
tribe.
This honor is accorded to very
few; by the Crow nation, and in
the minds of the Indians, at least,
there is no greater honor on earth.
An adopted chief has all the
powers of one born to Grow people.
j Chief Plenty Coups, ruler of
the Crow tribe, conceived the idea
|of thus ho,loring Marshal Foch
while the chief was in Washing.
TOP, where he represented the
American Indians at the cere-
monies at Arlington on Armistice
day at the grave of the Unknown
Soldier.
Last weeks program at the
Grow agency was carefully plan
ned. Joseph X. Dixon of Phila
delphia, secretary of the National
American Indian Memorial asso-
citation, preceded the marshal's
party to supervise arrangements
add to devise a suitable ceremonial
for the occasion. The Indian
Bureau, Washington, D. c., was
represented by Solicitor General
Edwin S. Booth, state senator
from Montana.
I. The generalissimo, on his ar:
rival at the agency, was taken to a

barbecue breakfast, for which the
Indians had slain number of
beeves. He was then escorted in
an automobile. at the head of a
number of cars, TO the Custer
battlefield, where the engagement
was explained in detail. His guard
of honor on this trip consisted of
100 Crow braves on horseback, in
full war regalia, armed to the
teeth.
At the Grow village, the actual
ceremony of entering the tribe
took place. After the oath had
been administered by Chief Plenty
Coups, the marshal was given his
war regala-a bonnet, grizzly bear
claw necklace-the most priced
trophy among the redmen, a war
shirt decorated with ermine and
real human scalps, q breecb clot.
leggings, moccasins, pipe of
stone and sack of tobacco, and
last, but chief of all, the Coups
stick, allowed only to great chiefs
and signifying valor in battle.
War bonnets and other memen-
toes also were given to all mem.
bers of the marshal's party.
The impressive ceremony of the
scalp dance closed the program.

The General Councils
: Position Regarding the
Indian School Question
and Enrolment Cases.
COUNCIL STANDS ONLY FOR WHAT IS
JUST AND RIGHT.

As there seems to be much mis-
understanding regarding the posi-
ton of the General Council
Minnesota Chippewas, in the mat
ter of furnishing proper school
facilities for the Chippewa child
rem, and also as regards the en-
rolln1ent cases, we print below
just what the Council stands for
in these two. important matters.
1t can be readily seen that the
Council in these matters. as in all
others in which il has cbampioned
the rights OF the Chippewa people,
is only endeavoring to do what is
just and right 81 all concerned:
The General, Council is in favor
CT aboIishing the government
boarding and day schools as rapid
" as public schools can be- pro-
vided to take care of the Chippewa
children. The agreementsof 1889
never contemplated a boarding
school. The boarding schools
haze been maintained in utter
disregard of law. The Department
now realizes that the government
schools should be discontinued as
rapidly as public school facilities
are available to Indian children.
The General Council is in favor OF
temporarily maintaining one large
central boarding school, that to. be
located at White Earth. The
government administration Of the
schools is conceded by all to have
been a failure. Examine the
school records both in the govern
ment and the Mission schools and
you find children who have been
in school for as much as five or
six years and are still in the fist,
second and third grades. In many
Instances you find children who
have been in school twelve or
thirteen years who have mot
finished the seventh grade. This
kind of an educational system is a
crime against the Indian children.
1t cannot be justified from any
view. Is the Council right or
wrong with reference to this
matter9
