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.
