TTT l l . . WHILE SPARKS FLY UPWARD URINC the council meetings of the Big Chiefs we finally got together our ideas of Indians, war-dances, picture-writing, papooses-and the result is this record of the tribe, More than once the pipe of peace has exploded and the usually mild chiefs have engaged in a war dance. But the medicine men always seemed to bring us together again. Our council meetings were held every Thursday afternoon in the lodge beside the noisy, big-shelved office, and between the enjoyment of penny Iollipops and sarcastic remarks we finally felt that we had accomplished something. Sometimes the chiefs threatened to leave- the tribe stranded, but by natural instinct seemed to wander aimlessly down the hall to the wigwam and silently resume their duties. The general phrase was Any wampum in the petty cash? and if the answer was yes, all hands seemed to meet at once in the drawers of our valuable files. Then there was the quarrel between the art chiefs and the rest of the chiefs over the figure of an Aztec. l-leap big noise, many pale faces, scalps stood upright- but stuck on, Like typical Indians, we wrote loving little notes to each other on strips of birchbark and tacked them on the door flap of our teepee. Ughl Wow! Although we had many skirmishes, we all feel equally proud about our book, and, most of all, we hope the readers like it. -V. M.
