content: A full blood and son of Running Crane, chief of the Lone Eaters' Band of the Piegan. In his youth he scalped an enemy in war. For 26 years he was chief of the Indian police on the Blackfoot Reservation, Montana. In later years he was the owner of a medicine pipe, took active part in the tribal sun dance, and was one of the group of Piegan who entertained tourists to Glacier National Park in Summer. Wades in the water died at the Blackfoot Indian Hospital, September 20, 1947, at an assumed age of 76. A full color portrait of Wades in the Water in costume by the artist, Winold Reiss, appeared on the 1945 calendar of the Great Northern Railway. Wades in the Water did not speak English. (J.C. Ewers, U.S. National Museum, January 1949).
