The Indian Chiefs. The chiefs from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Agency, presented a fine appearance as they sat upon
the rostrum last Wednesday evening. They
listened with interest to the band and choir and to
Mr. Standing's address of welcome. When Major
Pratt spoke of their presence with us and his pleasure
at having them here, he said they were men he knew 31
years ago at a time when some of the tribes were not
friendly, and it was interesting if not dangerous to
be among them. Mr. Standing referred to his
pioneer life down in the section of the country from
whence they had come. He said he knew Left Hand
the best. Robert Burns, interpreted for the
Cheyennes and Cleaver Warden for the Arapahoes.
Both were early pupils of Carlisle. When it came
time for the chiefs to speak, Major introduced Left
Hand first. He said he was one of the men he had
met on the Washita 31 years ago. The Major had
met Mr. Standing down in that country also, and it was
through his work of preparation that we got 56 of the
children of the two tribes that these chiefs
represented, to enter Carlisle. Left Hand sent
three of his own boys. December 16, 1898 INDIAN HELPER |
