Indian Women Who Farm

In the Indian viüage on the banks of the Minnesota river, about one mile down stream from ühakopee, lives a band of Indians who till the soil. make bows and arrows and moccasins, and trade with the neighboring farmers. Among the villagers are some interesting women, one of them being Mrs. Otherday, the sister of Shakopee of Little Six, one of the most noted chiefs of the Sioux nation. The women of the Shakopee colony assist in the farming and make beautiful beadwork, which they sell at the summer resort hotels. Mrs. Otherday is a strong, well-preserved elderly woman, much looked up to by her own people and her white neighbors.
