“GREAT WHITE FATHER”
INDIANS GATHER TO HONOUR KING & QUEEN. QUEBEC. May 18. The special correspondent of the Australian Associated Press aboard the Royal pilot train says that their Majesties’ path today lies along the north shore of the St Lawrence River, where ribbon-like farms still huddle together as they did when the war whoop of the Iroquois drove the owners hastily together for defence.
At Montreal, Indians from reservations in all parts of Canada have gathered to honour their "Great White Father” and the Queen. Thein Majesties will see hide tepees, totem poles, camp fires, braves in moccasins and beaded buckskin, chiefs in feathered headdresses and squaws with papooses on their backs.
