December 6, 1929 WILMETTE cess Tsianina herself served for nine months~ "Now the Indian needs yo~r friendship more than ever before," she said to the club women, "He needs to be encouraged to take his part m civilization. The Indian wants to walk by the side of the white man, and not behind him." The Princess felt that the Indians have something wor~h while to offer civilization, and she asked for the friendship of the white tn·.!n. She commended America for extending the hand ' of fellowship to the Indian. The greatest trjbute given the Indian . .she felt, was when Vice-President Charles Curtis came into office, for he is one-eighth part Indian. Through him the Indians now have a voice, and they feel inspired to take their place in civilization, she concluded. The songs the Princess sang were of particular interest. One was a song to the sun. and she explained that the Indians feel it their duty to greet the "Mother of Life" every morning. An other song was one sung by the Indian hrave when he woos a maid. He sings the song outside of her tent, ·a nd if she approves of him she shows herself and walks down the village street enfolded in his blanket, to tell all that she will marry him.

Princess Tsianina, a fu11-blooded Indian woman, gave a message from tlie Indians to the members of the Woman's club of Wilmette on Wednesday afternoon. She also sang groups of Indian songs, telling about some of the customs of the Indians and giving the reason for the songs. Possessing a charming personality and a lovely voice, the princess immediately won her audience. After her song program she spoke briefly about the Indians, recalling the days when they roamed about this country, reveling in · their freedom, worshiping all nature with songs and ceremonies. When the invasion by the white man came, the Indians rose in patriotic fervor, fighting to keep their country. In losing, they were made responsible for many tragedies for which they were innocent.
