content: From card: "Tambourine type drum. Rawhide stretched over cheese barrel hoop. Painted red are: the drum rim, line around circumference of head, and central dot on drum head. Straight wooden stick wrapped with buckskin. This drum was beaten by the Piegan Indians at Two Medicine [Chalet in Glacier National Park, August 5, 1934] in the ceremony when President Franklin D. Roosevelt was given the Blackfoot name of Lone Chief. It was afterward presented to Dr. Ruhle by the Indians for his part in the ceremony. Note: I was informed in the 1940's that Richard Sanderville, Piegan interpreter, was the Indian who was in charge of the naming ceremony for President Roosevelt when he visited Glacier National Park in 1934. He was the same Richard Sanderville who came to the Smithsonian Institution earlier that year to complete the late General Hugh L. Scott's dictionary of the Indian sign language. -jce [John C.
