Tribal Festivals
Being Abandon
ed in Oklahoma
Famous Feasts Which. Once Drew
Thousands Are Seldom Held,
Due to Modem Trend.
Seneca, Mo. Indian gatherings,
stomp dances, green corn dances and
other tribal festivals, which in past
years drew thousands of Indians
from over Eastern Oklahoma, as well
aa other visitors from over a wide
section, to the festival grounds west
of here are passing from existence.
Each year one or more of the festi
vals becomes a memory and one by
one they have been discontinued by
the Indian tribes of Oklahoma.
A few years back the picturesque
tribal feast conducted in the summer
months at Devil's Promenade, west
of here near Quapaw, Ok., was an
event that attracted thousands. One
summer 2,000 persons attended each
day and night to observe the Indians
of the many Oklahoma tribes take
part in the pony smoke and pow
wow held there. Food of all kinds
was prepared for the tribe members
and visitors. The vent lasted several
days and attracted members of sev
eral tribes.
Green corn dances and a variety
of other summer Indian festivals,
held on the banks of Elk River and
other picnic grounds in Delaware and
Ottawa counties, Oklahoma, were
staged yearly by Oklahoma Indians
and were attended by persons from
over a large section of Oklahoma,
Kansas and Missouri.
In the last few years the interest
in the festivals has dwindled. Many
of the events will not be held this
year. Modern way3 of living and
thinking, the motor car, commercial
ized amusements and lack of interest
among the younger members of the
Indian families, have about written
"finis" on the summer celebrations

clusive. Maximum temperatures were
100 'or higher at every station except
four of the more elevated stations in
the northwestern part of the state.

received less than two inches, the
least being 1.76 inches in 1911. All
parts of the state were dry, amounts
ranging from 20 per cent of normal
in the southwestern division to 32
