Picture Autobiography A
of Sitting Bull Shown

WASHINGTON.-A new life Of Sit
ting Bull, in pictures drawn by him
self, has been received by the Smith
sonian institution.
A prisoner at Fort Randall Da-
kota territory, in 1882, the old war
rior made for two men who be-
friended him a series of drawings Of
the proudest exploits Of his early
life. All were in battle with other
Indians. One picture shows the fight
in which Sitting Bull suffered foot
wound which crippled him for life
A series of 13 drawings, made for
Daniel L. Pratt, post trader al the
fort, was given to the museum by
his niece, Mrs. G.. H. Pettiner, Of
Oswego, Ore. The other autobiog-
raphy, in 80 drawings, made for
Lieut.. Wallace Tear, is also owned
by the Smithsonian.
The pictures are remarkable for
the accuracy and delicacy with
which he drew the horses and the
relative crudity of the human tig-
ures, Smithsonian officials said.

INDIANS HAVE

Six National Tribes Induct
Chiefs Into Their
Council
ANCIENT CEREMONY

BRANTFORD, ONT. An ancient
ceremony, reminiscent Of the DAYS
when the redm.n ruled Canada
but is now merely a tradition up-
planted by the white mans laws.
has been enacted again at the hs-
toric Onondago long house oa the
Six Nations Indian reserve rear
here.
Five new chiefs, chosen for their
wisdom and their courage, were n-
Quoted into the hereditary council
of the Six Nations people The in-
itiation was the largest in three
decades. It was the first time the
Mohawk tribe had filed a vacancy
around the council fire in more than
80 years.
Early in the afternoon on the day
of the ceremony a long line Of
chanting braves and Indian women
formed at the long house at Cayuga
Led by the chiefs-elect, the process
sions, with members dancing in the
fashion of their ancestors, wound
along the reservation roads TO Onon-
dago.
At the council house in Onondago
stood in stolid dignity Ah-Rah-Reh-
Go, keeper Of the council fire. AS
the line of dancing Indians rounded
bend, Ah-Rah-Reh-To started call
ing the new chiefs to the council
fire in the cultural accents Of the
Mohawk tongue.
Solemnly five braves marched
forth and Ah-Rah-Reh-Go, aided by
the other members Of the tribal
council, performed the simple cere-
mony adding them to the mem
bership of the traditional Indian
parliament.
Since 1924 the traditional council
has had no part in the administra-
ton of local Indian affairs, the re-
serve Indians being governed by an
elected Iroquois council
A great majority of the people
support the hereditary council, and
council members assert that some
day they will once again guide the
destinies of the Six Nations people.

however, far from being pleasant,

were the many pavilions very near

muse to their hearts content and
nearly freeze in the bargain: there
were the many beautiful commod-
ious hotels inviting patronage, the
ever changing throngs Of promen-
aders on the walks to attract at
tention and admiration, the lovely
walk that one (or two preferably

Possibility of controlling harmful
soil blowing in the dust bowl area
within a few years has been foreseen
by the Department OF Agriculture ex-
pert who coordinates the work OF all
the agencies attempting to reclaim
Americas lost lands in the South
west.
"In the Southern Great Plains re-
gion as a whole. about six million
acres should go back to grass" said
Roy l. Kimmel, coordinator Of the
Southern Plains in a coast-to-coast
address arranged by the American
WildIife Institute. Kimmel, who dt-
reefs the reclamation work from his
headquarters in Amarillo. Texas. said
that about 26 million acres can be
proiitably maintained in cultivation.
"In IA Southwestern Kansas coun-
ties all the way from so TO SO per
cent OF the crop land is owned by
said Kimmel. "Usu-
ally the nonresident owner mines
the land for everything he can get
from Il. Better leasing arrangements
will help get away from this"
'The experience OF the last four
years has been a drastic warming"
believes. IF we take advan-
tage OF what we have learned in four
years time. we may finally come to
look upon the dust storms as a bless
