INDIANS MOVING
May 21, 1870, pages 324 & 327 (Illustrated Article)
Our illustration on page 324 shows the manner in which the population of an Indian village make a journey from one place of settlement to another, taking their habitations with them. The long poles on which the tent-skins were stretched now serve as a rude kind of sledge or drag, for the conveyance of such household goods as make up the scanty furniture of an Indian lodge. Such a procession makes a very picturesque spectacle, moving helter-skelter over the plains, warriors, squaws, young ones, dogs, and ponies, all mingled together. Perhaps no sight is more grateful to the Western settler than that of these aborigines obeying the general law of "Westward ho!" The further and quicker they go the better, in the estimation of the white interlopers, until they meet the tide of white civilization advancing Eastward from the Western coast, when the northernmost Territories will be the only place of refuge for such as refuse to die or become civilized.
