Two Guns delivered an Grafton, ex-
tolling William Penn while the rest of
the band passed around the pipe of
peace in ceremonial fashion. Such a
crowd gathered that the police were
called out in squads to keep the milling
sightseers from crushing the group of
Indians. The ceremony was held before
the Penn monument. The Indians later
were somewhat disappointed when they
learned that William Penn was not &C
tually buried there beneath the statue,
because it was their grave ceremonial
they had gone through. They had CIV
en- the Indian sign of peace to the soul
of the great Quaker chieftain. 1t was
n of the most remarkable spectacles
ever witnessed in the City of Brotherly
Love, the Philadelphia newspapers said
next day.
Chief Two Guns was conceded by
General Hugh l.. Scott to hold the
record as the most rapid Indian sign
language "talker" he even met. Gen.
eral Scott himself was regarded as the
most efficient in Indian sign language
of all the white race. In fact there
are few white men who can carry on a
conversation with Indians in this sign
language. Most of them are about like
the American who "can talk French
but who has to grope embarrassingly
for words when in actual conversation.

the Great Spirit hurled at a fleeing
chief as he rode away to escape the
Almighty's wrath.
While naturally a champion of the
rights of the Red men, Two Guns was
not bitterly radical. Like all the rest
of the Indians, he submitted to the
white mans regulations. There was
nothing else to do. But he knew the
story of the Red mans passing in all
its stages and never hesitated to speak
his mind when occasion presented. He
had that quality Of the philosopher
who, although he knows he's slipping,
will stick stoically to the contention,
with a smiling-through expression, that
anything that's left can be counted as
a blessing, no matter what it is.
His was the first Indian voice to be
heard over the radio, when the broad
cast programs were put upon the air.
Two Guns was in the East on one OF
his goodwill" tours when the invita-
ton was extended to him. He stepped
right up to the mike with as much
unconcern as the seasoned broadcasters
Of today. He delivered one of his ora
tons, in the Blackfeet tongue. It was
a greeting to all of his friends every
where"
Afterward, one of the newspapermen
present, struck by the Indians sang

ballyhoer, (the dignified Two Guns
would never call it that because he
was serious in his mission and besides
not an actor by any means he rarely
missed a winter season travelling with
a band Of his tribesmen to the principal
cities of the United States. In fact, he
claimed to hold the travel record of his
race in the last 20 years of his life.
And there is no question that he was
more written about than any other
Indian, Sitting Bull himself not ex-
cluded from the comparison. Two
Guns had so many newspaper clippings
about himself sent to him by fan"
tourists that he finally kept them in
barrels on his ranch, not having the
wherewithal to buy clipping books in
which to paste them. The mice clip
ped" up the contents of a couple of bar
rels one winter for nesting purposes
but by spring Two Guns had refilled
the barrels with accounts from his win
ter's travel.
Artists discovered in Two Guns the
nearest-to-form Indian facial type they
ever beheld and they went emotional
over him. His portraits today hang in
many art institutes throughout the
country. Consequently, when the In
dian head appeared upon the face of
the buffalo nickel some years ago. even
the school children throughout the
land, themselves forming Two Guns
White Calls greatest body of fan"
admirers, recognized the likeness. Not

Two Guns was the w. j. Bryan of the
red race and he used his oratorical
force in the land sale negotiations to
get a good trade" for his tribe in turn
ing over this vast area of mountain
scenic land to Uncle Sam.
It was Chief White Calf who decided
this area to the government for his
tribe. Two Guns, to the day of his
death, exerted his influence whenever
the opportunity presented. to emphasize
the Blackfeet claim for 81, soc, 900
sought as a balance due these Indians
in this deal. However, despite his in
sistence in trying to collect this debt
by oratorical onslaught whenever he ar
rived in Washington, the Indian de-
partment heads always granted Two
Guns leave of absence from the reser-
walton to travel with his picturesque
band on trips through the country eX-
plotting the charms of Glacier park.
While they did not relish his stormy
visits to the national capital to remind
the Great White Father of this alleged
default, there probably is not an Indian
agent who would question that Two
Guns White Calf, by his travels through
the country, did more to exploit Glac-
Ter National park than any other
single agent. He was an ambassador
extraordinary among Americas tour
ist travellers. The National parks bur-
eau probably knows this better than
any other source.

Chief Two Guns White Calf, who
died recently on his Glacier National
Park reservation ranch, was a son of
a notable father, White Calf, the
last chief Of the Blackfeet tribe.
White Calf passed away in Wash
ington, d. c., while the guest of Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt. President
Roosevelt revered White Calf so much
that he sent the Chiefs body back to
Montana in a private railway car,
with a full military escort accompany
ing.
Chieftain rule of Indian tribes had
ceased with government allotments and
white regulation, by the time Two Guns
White Calf came of age, but being the
lineal descendant of the Blackfeet
chief, he was looked up to as the ruler
of his tribesmen after his father pass
ed on to the Happy Hunting ground.
Two Guns White Calf was in his 72d
year. He unquestionably was the most
outstanding Indian in the United States
during the last 20 years, or in fact
since 1910, after congress passed the act
creating Glacier National park by set
ting aside the old Rocky Mountain
hunting grounds of the Blackfeet tribe

lack of awe over the worlds latest
marvel of inventive genius, questioned
i Two Guns, replied, through the
interpreter, who said:
1.-TWO Guns, he say, yes, this best tele-
phone white man has made, because
you get 'em all on the line same time.
Two Guns, in his talk, he just finish

/ because he tell white man how to
do SO many great things Indians never
heard Of"
Holy Moses!" exclaimed the broad
casting station director, why didn't we
think of having this broadcast inter-
preted and translated?'
That's it, they had merely been
thinking of getting some publicity for
their station through the novelty of
presenting an Indian to humble some
real Indian words into the ether. They
figured what ever he said would be of
little consequence anyway. But, as on
all other occasions, Chief Two Sun
had proved he was a thinker. He was
that!
On his first trip to New York City,
~ SAouP VI A1CWSl1dWhS lllUGT-
viewing him, told the story how white
men bought Manhattan Island for S24,
some tobacco and a "set up" of rum.
The reporter calculated the reaction OF
this Indian chief, away from his reser-
walton the first time, would make q
new slant feature story. Stoical Two
Guns, after listening to the interpret
er's version of the timc-worn New York
trade-thril anecdote, took a drag from
a gift cigaret and nonchalantly and
laconically replied: II think it was q
good trade white man got"
A great Indian he was, if you knew
him down under the skin. He possess
ed a keen sense of humor, which may
have been n of his saving graces from
self-consuming radicalism. Thousands
of school children who made a hero of
him will want to contribute their candy
pennies to erect a suitable monument
over the spot where they've buried him,
almost up against the Rocky mountains
he loved SO well. And this despite the
fact that he was a forensic and not a
warpath Indian.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1934-04-13

Two Guns was a highly intelligent
Indian, although he could not speak
English well. He never wanted to, pre-
ferring either the Blackfeet tongue or
the sign language. He was critical of
some things. especially those close to
nature. For instance, he once said that
as a pure-bred American his pride for
his country suffered to see Uncle Sam
using the bald eagle on the silver dol
lars. The Indians, he said, looked up
on this species of the eagle as a vul-
ture unworthy of becoming an emblem
for the United States. The Indians
know the bald eagle feasts upon dead
fish and dead animal carcasses. The
golden eagle is the more admirable
bird, the Indians think. Two Guns
lauded it to the skies as a fair-fighting,
brave bird, far more worthy of typify-
ing the soul of the nation. 1T always
takes live animals for it's food" he de-
clared, as if clinching the argument
for his contention.
The late Senator Walsh of Montana
is said to have seriously contemplated
some action in the matter of replacing
the bald eagle with the golden eagle as
a national emblem, having discovered
that ever Uncle Sam himself, in his
official pamphlet, wild Animals of
Glacier Park" convicts the bald eagle
of being a vulture that feeds on dead
flesh, too lazy to enter the chase in the
live animal kingdom.
Two Guns was controversial in an
other matter. He took issue with scien-
lists who are always trying to settle the
question how the Indians got upon the
North American continent, whether
they were originally Chinese and came
across the ice via Boring Strait, or just
migrated from Europe. Two Guns said
the origin of the Indian was as simple
as the origin of the paleface. In max
ing the Indian the Great Spirit lust
moulded some red clay and He did it
right here on the North American con-
tinent where my people always have
BEEN"
Two Guns also was at outs with the
biologists. He didn't like the way they
explained the formation of a great
ridge of rocks extending 60 miles out
over the Montana prairie from Chief
Mountain. The biologists told Two
Guns this was the result of glacial &C
ton. Two Guns shook his head and
explained to them he had it from his
father and his fathers father had told
his father. and way before that it even
was told. that this is a pile of rocks
