Indians Sparn Pageanh

THE Indians Of the West may like to dream
Of the glory Of their past history before the
advent Of the pale face, they may be proud Of
the stories of heroism and fortitude handed
down through the generations, but when IL
comes to leaving their plows. their chickens,
pigs and cows and putting an the habiliments
of the days of savagery to provide holiday for
towns wishing to celebrate and attract visitors
with the colorful setting the Indians provide
they draw the line.
So far as entertaining the whites in this
matter is concerned, they don't care a whoop
not even one of the war whoops they are called
upon to give. In fact, so great is their aversion
to being exploited in this manner, they have
filed protest with the Federal Government, O
protest which has fallen on sympathetic ears.
The Indians maintain that they are a civilized
race and want only to advance in their learning,
culture and financial affairs They believe
there is no more reason to make them 60 back
hundred years to portray the Indian of those
days than it would be to ask white men 70
stage similar entertainment for them with White
men decked out in the clothes of century ago
and conducting themselves in the ways Of the
