Indian Girls Auctioned At Potlatch In Revelstoke
A Revelstoke potlatch auction in British Columbia raised $4000 for the general fund as two Inuit women were sold to the highest bidders. A nine year old girl brought $1400 to a grizzled veteran, and an 18 year old with white blood sold for $1000 to a young suitor. About 2000 attendees watched amid blankets and furs valued at many thousands. Ottawa officials had promised action, but no steps appeared.
