Indians Are We A TYPICAL, American high ' school girl, I have had the hon- or of being linked, through Indian adoption, with such important per- sons as Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, and the late Governor Kohler. I am not famous as those named before, but I shall do my best to justify the honor bestowed upon me. In the early days of Indian his- tory in this state it was customary for the Indians to honor braves from other tribes by adopting them, in colorful ceremony, into their own tribes. Also, the Indian took this means to strengthen his band after wars. His prisoners were often taken into the tribe and of course their interests were then those of their new chief. After the advent of the white man, the custom prevailed and it was considered an honor to be adopted by any Indian people. The first white man to be thus received into the Chippewa was the French Commandante, Nicholas Perrot, who commanded the French armies in the west in 1685. He, however, had been in Wisconsin as a trader in 1667. In more recent times the Wisconsin Indians have honored many. Among these I can mention: The late presidents, Theodore Roose- velt and Calvin Coolidge, who were christened by the Winnebago. The late Governor Emannuel Philipp was adopted by the Chippewa on their reservation at Reserve, Wisconsin. The late Governor Walter Kohler was adopt- ed in a ceremony held at Pittsville, Wisconsin, by the blind Chief, Mongar, a Winnebago. Ex-governor Fred Zimmerman, the late Solomon Levitan, my father, Charles E. Brown, director of the State Historical Mu- seum, were adopted by the Winnebago in recent years. One of the loveliest experiences I have ever had was my own adoption. I was not only adopted into the Win- nebago tribe, but into the royal family of Chief Yellow Thunder. He is the grandson of the great war chief, Yellow Thunder, who, in 1832, influenced his people to befriend the white and not take sides with Black Hawk against them. In a council meeting, held across Lake lVIendota, at what was then known as the 5'City-of-Four- Lakes,', and which is known today as West Point, the war chief talked to his people. Today the spot is marked with a tablet. For many years my father has conducted an all-day excursion around Lake Mendota, taking the university summer session students, and stopping at the points of historic interest, and there telling many of the stories and legends concerning them. At the site of the Four- Lake-Council, every summer, Chief Yellow Thunder, his son Good-Heart and one or two other Indians appear and give an exhibition of Indian dances and music. It was during one of these excursions with my father in the sunnner of 1938 that I was adopted in Indian cus- tom and ceremony. At the close of Yellow Thunde'r's talk he called me to him and expressed appreciation for the many kindnesses my father had done for him, saying As a cane was to a man, so Doctor Brown has been to mef' Because of the friendship he held for my father and because he had lost his own little girl, he wished to adopt me into his family as well as into the Winnebago tribe. With an Indian prayer on his lips and hands crossed with mine, he christened me He-nook-neek-ah,'7 tvontinued on page thirty-twol Mg Hobbg UR dentist started me on my hobby, when one day, he told me of his-soap carving. He told me how easy and how much fun it was, needing only a knife and a cake of soap. His idea took.', Soon, with a sketch of an animal, I drew the general outlines of the figure on my soap. Then, I started cutting out the rough shape and before I knew it, the model was finished. Now soap carving has become my hobby. In addition to animals I enjoy carving models of persons and build- ings. As you can see, soap sculpture may or may not he an end in itself. Surely there is enough to know about it to keep one busy for years experimenting in new kinds of figures and objects. One reason for its popularity may be that it unites several hobbies in one, including drawing ffor the sketch of planl , painting and designing for deco- rative effects, which make it an art or a craft hobby. Another may be that, reproduction in miniature has al- ways been one of the most fascinating of hobbies, and, whittling in soap, a fairly new branch of the carving hobby, has many more possibilities than carving in wood because of its flexibility and marble-like appearance. I do not know but that soap modeling may lead me to still another hobby, and that, perhaps, to still another hobby, but I do know that so far it is the most enjoyable one I have tried. Among my carvings, my favorite is that of an Indian, which is about ten inches high. For this carving I used nearly two full cakes of soap, joining pieces by boiling soap flakes and water to a jelly-like paste. Then I painted my model in a bright array of Indian colors. I usually paint all my carvings, using oil paints for clothes, eyebrows, eyelashes and facial coloring, and real nail polish for nails on the tiny hands. After they are filed down and painted, they are really something to be proud of. Try it yourself someday and see. All you need is a cake of Ivory Soap, the large laundry size, a pocketknife, and some spare time. -MARY ELLEN FARRELI Rounds With a N ewsie TODAY we will go rounds with a newsboy. A newsboy is always courteous, calm, patient, always pays his bill, never, never misses a paper customer and always has money in his pocket. tltis usually not his profit.l To continue on our rounds we find him at the first house. He rings the bell and waits. Ah, someone is open- ing the door now. Good morning, madamf, Ugh. fShe must he an old owl.l Collect for the iso 8: Soi? Noi COITIC again! I ain't got no change now.'7 My goodnessf, we say, are all customers like that?,, Well, time will tell. Going along we find that the next forty houses pay up. Now that's what real customers are like, we say. Well, hereis a nice house, not a had place at all. I'll bet they pay every time. But we find they owe a dollar and sixty cents. ff'07IffIlllC!I on page thirty-three? as I2 I
