For | instance, the studios nearly always paint up the Indians like African savages. “The truth is that the Indians did nc put on paint to look ferocious. They only put on lines of color to represent dreams they had before going into battle. Certain lines meant they dreamed they were going to die; and so forth.” As for Indians burning their vic- tims at the stake, Iron Eyes said there is no such instance in West- ern history. Feather war-bonnets were used by only a few tribes, he | added, and each feather symbol- ized an act of valor. Another thing—not all indians lived in ‘tepees. “The Indians lived in everything from mud huts to cliff dwellings,” he remarked. “I've even seen movies which represented Plains Indians as living in wigwams. Only the Eastern Indians lived in wig- wams, which are cone-like, but ON THE Dr. J. A.
