CAPIRALIS TS ON: Viele aig OR many moons the Senior Tribe worked and struggled to earn wampum to take a big trip. This wasn t just an ordinary one, but a long journey to the home of the great white father, where they would visit some of the best and largest tepees in the nation. Anyway, after holding various pow wows and heap big plays, we took the iron horse from New York on Monday, April 14, 1941, and started on the great adventure. Just to make sure we didn t get lost, we invited two counselors, Miss I lodge and Mr. Cunning- ham, to accompany us; and well never forget all they did for us while we were in the great city.

He was indeed a kind, Friendly paleface, and we would have been lost without him. Now that we have returned to our native hunting grounds and lodges, we are ready to squat around our camplire and happily smoke our peace pipes, thinking dreamily of our southward trip, long over—the only one from which we did not return with paleface scalps!
