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.
Despite any fears they might

Urban League
A Chat With the Secretary
Now that Fall is just around the
corner our program will take on
renewed interest.
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.”

anything outside the immediate
and tangible.
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.
