for picnics, outings and inductions, there are
more than 500 Indian minded rooters. Pro-
grams follow the Indian theme, with sports,
camping, nature study crafts and the like.
The tribal names include the familiar Seneca,
Susquehannock, Yoamaco and Powhatan, but
there are some coined names like Paw-an-i,
Whe-tonka and We-wanna that have modern
meaning. The accompanying pictures show
some of the activities at meeting in Wheaton
High School that elected Norman Miller as
chief of the Long House, Robert Garland,
assistant chief: Walter Barr medicine man;
E. H. Nethercutt, tally-keeper. and Charles
Simpson, wampum bearer.
