...with the welfare of my people. . . . Don't cram this bill down our throats, Mr. Commissioner. Rides-at-the-Door (Blackfeet) : If what is told us is true, this is the Indians' salvation. Let us call on the Great Spirit to make it so. J. P. Morgan (Navajo): Mr. Collier says it has taken the lawyers in Washington months and months to frame this bill.

Last month 1,000 Navajos and 300 Zunis went a-nutting in small...
...opening day reporters, greeting each other with soft cries of "Ugh! Ugh!" and "How!", tiptoed among celebrities to look at painted jars, baskets, totem poles, Navajo rugs, blankets, silver bracelets, earrings, belt buckles, turquoise necklaces, beaded quivers. Art critics were most interested in two small galleries where hung water color sketches showing ceremonial dances and hunting scenes by living Indian painters.
