OLSON, Sufxrinltnd'rt \ «t<ti auroiicn «oci*tt It would be difficult to find a better example of courage and de votion to duty than that provided by the early years of John Dun bar and Samuel Allis, Presby terian missionaries, among the Pawnee Indians of Nebraska. 1 The two men came west in the spring of 1834, in company with Rev. Samuel Parker. Their orig inal destination was Oregon, but when they arrived at St. Louis they found that the fur-traders’ caravan which they expected to accompany across the plains and mountains had departed six weeks earlier. It was impracticable— if not impossible—to make the journey unescorted. Rev. Parker decided to return East to collect men and supplies for a journey the next year. Dunbar and Allis were to explore the Pawnee coun try, and, if they found that peo ple prepared, to start a mission among them. They spent the summer at Can tonment Leavenworth, then moved on to the Indian agency at Belle vue, where they arrived October 2. When the Pawnees came in to collect their annuities, the agent informed them that two white men were there and desired to go out and live with them. As soon as they heard this, the Pawnee Loups immediately made application for one of the men to come with that tribe. The Grand Pawnees asked for the other. This posed a serious problem. The two men had assumed that, whatever they did, they would spend the winter together. After prayerful consideration, however,: they decided to accede to the; wishes of the two tribes. Allis; went with the Loups and Dunbar, with the Grand Pawnees. Imagine, if you will, the feeling of these two men as they parted company to spend the winter alone out on the plains among strange tribes of heathen savages.

The Piayground has closed and the boys and girls are making their way back to the League for supervised activities. Having been here for five months I have had a chance to survey the total picture of the Negro and his relationship to the Community. Much to my chagrin all is not well, because on one hand where there is interest, in dustry, and participation—on the other hand there is indifference, and no interest in nor love for have had, both men were well treated and each won the con fidence and respect of his host. The good feeling which the Paw nees had for their guests occa sionally resulted in embarrass ment for the missionaries. When [food was plentiful, the Pawnees [feasted prodigiously, Dunbar and Allis were asked to join these feasts—and their efforts to play the role of proper guests on these occasions sometimes taxed the missionaries’ endurance to the ut most. The Grand Pawnees appear to have believed that Dunbar brought them good luck. The buf falo were particularly numerous during the winter of 1834-35, and were farther down the Platte val iley than usual. Dunbar wrote that the Pawnees repeatedly told him that the buffalo had come down so low because he had come to live among them: “They say the buffalo have been gone for a long time, but now a man has come to live with them, who loves Te-rah-wah, and he has sent back the buffalo.” I i~ .

In spite of some of the road blocks and barriers, there are very encouraging signs of progress. There are those people, who for the first time are seeking employ ment outside of the realm of menial labor. There are increased interests in schools and the quest for “how” and “where” certain information can be secured. Juvenile Delinquency has al most ceased to exist in this area and the “problem children” have a new perspective and new out look on life. They want to have a chance at the “good life” and will make good if enough interest is shown toward them. Youth are looking for and need—light, ac tion, unity and leadership. The greatest travesty of all is hopsing. Some of our city leaders have the audacity to state that private housing will meet the need. I have been in and around Lincoln for ten years and for ten years the same degraded policy toward housing (especially for Negroes) has existed. An anonymous writer said: “I’d rather see a serman than hear one any day. “I’d rather see a sermon than me than merely tell the way. The eyes are better pupils, and more willing than the ear; Fine counsel is confusing, but example is quite clear.” The best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds, For to see good put into action is what everybody needs.
