YOUNG INDIAN
PREFERS SCHOOL
TO TRIBAL RULE
BY GEORGE ID. C8ISSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

PHOENIX, March 10. (U,P) - An
Indian boy who probably could be-
come the leader of his snake clan
told the United Press today he pre-
ferred remaining in a government
school studying general science and
music.
The boy is Roger Shu-pela, le-
year-old son OF Chief Harry Shu-
pela, famed snake clan priest OF
the Hopi tribe who for 25 years di-
rected the thrilling Hopi snake cere-
monies which reach a climax wher
Indian braves whirl in circles While
poisonous rattleSnakes dangie from
their mouths.
Chief Shu-pela died recently at
Walpi, snake clan village IN north
ern Arizona and failed tc leave 4
man to take his place. Hop. ira
dition provides that snake direc-
tor be proceeded by blood brother.
Chief Harry had no brother
The peculiar circumstances which
left the Walpi clan leaderleSS prob
ably would make II possible tor
Roger 10 follow in his father foot
steps, if he 50 desired
I'D rather finish school here, >
he said, "and then go TO Haskell. >
The boy is a junior in the Phoenix
Indian school. The institution oi
Haskell, located at Lawrence, Kan
sas, is where hundreds OF Indians
receive their higher education.
Roger scoffed at the idea that his
fathers death would end the color
full snake dances. "A new leader
will be found" Roger sale. II
the dances stop then a tradition Is
broken and it is better. We think,
TO break the tradition that brother
follow brother than give up the
snake ceremonies.
Although Roger insists he ism
sufficiently acquainted with the
snake dance TO succeed his father.
the opinion OF other Hopi5 here Isl
that he probably could if he really
wanted TO do so.
