Bark-on-a-Tree and Little Chief Seek Indian Messiah
Two Kiowa Indians Bark on a Tree and Little Chief, who once rode with Santanta in a Kansas raid, are on a three week leave from a Pine Ridge reservation mission. They plan to travel to Pine Ridge to join Sioux delegates and then reach the Black Hills to seek the so called Indian Messiah who would restore native greatness and end white rule. Bark-on-a-Tree denies white man’s truth, claiming the Messiah lives in the Black Hills and is difficult to approach with prescribed ceremonies. They will depart for Pine Ridge and then the Messiah’s home.
