The readers of Birney Arrow are thanked for their patience for the July 27 of this paper in as much as we’d liked for its release before the All-American Indian Days in Sheridan, but some of the news will be note worth however late.

The Birney Arrow was one of the features in the All-American Indian Days Edition of the Shereidan Press. There wasn’t anything wrong with the writing except for the photo of the editor of the Birney Arrow. The one responsible for the inclusion of the piciture certainly did not give an car to the order and one would not think of any one so ugly writing and editing a worthwhile paper.

Pearl Rowland of Lame Deer and Miles City, Montana and Patricia Little Wolf of Busby, Montana were the contestants for Miss Indian America contest also a Sioux-Cheyenne of Rapid City, S.D. and a Southern Cheyenne from Clinton, Oklahoma.

A Northern Cheyenne Traveling Art Exhibit sponsored by the Sheridan Women’s Culb will be in Lame Deer and Ashland some time this fall. Says Mrs. Hila Gilbert of Sherridan. The Cheyenne Traveling Exhibit should prove a success since this is probably the such and exhibit of the tribal artists. Most of this is modern art, rather than traditional Indian art. The early and traditional Indian art of the Cheyennes can only be seen in museums such as the American Museum of Natural History, New York and the Field Columbian Museum, Chicago.

Mrs. Mahala Mueller, Director of Northern Plains Indian Crafts Association, Billings left Sheridan during the All American Indian Days Saturday for the Intertribal Indian Ceremonial at Gallup, New Mex. Scheduled to open this week.

One tribe sang the old time Cheyenne Women War Bonnet Dance Song during the Indian Days program Sunday night, but men with war bonnets took part in the dance. It’s like singing Stein Song during a Rock N’ Roll.
