Invalid chair marks Native progress on reservation streets
Pendleton yesterday saw further evidence of native progress toward civilization as a crippled squaw rode in an invalid chair on the street. Clad in coffee and shawl, she held her pappoose while another squaw with pappose on her back and two Indian boys took turns pushing. The sight of squaws using the white woman’s wheel chair for transporting young has become familiar, though this is the first time the device has been adopted by local tribes on the reservation.
