HUi/ 1 i X AMERICAN Printed at Chemawa, Oregon, and Devoted to the Interests of Indian Education VOL. XXXV WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8, 1933 SlOUX AND CROW FRIENDS The article reprinted below appeared in a special article in the Oregonian for Nov. 5: Among the residents of Grover cottage, Linfield’s dormitory for women, are two dusky-skinned daugh ters of the original Americans, Miss Charlotte Jordan of Rosebud, S. D., and Miss Josephine Pease of Lodge Grass, Mont. Miss Jordan is a descendant of the Sioux tribe, while Miss Pease traces her Indian ancestry back to the Crows. According to Miss Jordan, the two tribes were formerly bitter enemies. “If my grandfather knew I was rooming with a Crow he would turn over in his grave,” she laughed. The grandfather of Miss Pease, whose name was White Man Runs Him, was a scout under General Custer. He was buried with honors by the United States army following the massacre of Custer’s men by the Sioux. Her great-grandfather was the first superintendent for the Indians, appointed by General Grant. Miss Jordan’s grandmother is a niece of Chief Red Cloud, one of the most famous of the Sioux Indians. Miss Jordan has also a white ancestry that would be the envy of the most aristocratic. She is eligible for membership to the Daughters of the American Revo lution. One of her forebears, Oceanus Hopkins, was the first child born on the Mayflower. The Ward and Jordan castles in northern Ireland are possessions of her family. Miss Jordan has many relatives in Port land, but with whom she is not acquainted. Miss Jordan spent one year at Chemawa and a term at Willamette before coming to Linfield. Miss Pease received all her earlier education in the public schools at Lodge Grass. The former is taking a pre-medic course while the latter is majoring in business. Both of the young women are intensely interested in their college work, and both like western Oregon. Miss Jordan came west two years ago.

HEY’S something kindo' harty-like about the atmusfere When the heat of summer’s over and the coolin’ f ill is here— Of course we miss the flowers, and the blossums on the trees, And the mumble of the hummin’-birds and buzz in’ of the bees; But the air’s so appetizin’; and the landscape through the haze Of a crisp and sunny morning of the airly au tumn days Is a pictur’ that no paint er has the colorin’ to mock— When the frost is on the punkin and the fod der’s in the shock. —James Whitcomb Riley
