of Administrator of the Public
Works Administrator pWtD had
the power to authorize and con-
struct the museum as a relief
project. He was at this time
spending millions by grants in
support of public and private con
struction. He was known as lhc
supporter of all Indian welfare
plans. He had gone TO Washing

Roosevelt took office. seeking the
aid of his Bull Moose friend. Sen.

himself the post Of Indian Com

am closely associated with
the movement which resulted in
establishment Of the Museum of
the Plains Indians on the Black
feet Reservation at Browning,
the eastern approach to Glacier
National Park. Much spade work
was done by many friends of
the Indians before Harold l..
lckes. Secretary of the Interior
under President Franklin D..
Roosevelt was induced to make
the federal PWA grant which
financed the cost of the spacious
Museum in 1898.
So far as | know, the activity
of the group with which l was
associated, and which played
what was. perhaps. a decisive part
in the success of the venture, has
not been publicly narrated. The

idea which led to the creation of
the Museum was DR.. George &.

of the Blackfeet country as far

Ruhle's mind and was caught
up by his enthusiasm. We were
joined by other Montanans. in.
