Death robs chieftain of life’s ambition at Yakima
Spokane, Wash. Umpupee acting head of the Yakima Indians died the day before his planned formal recognition as successor to Chief White Swan. His death ends his tribesmen’s hope to present their case to government officials, and the burial followed Yakima customs with horses, blankets, trinkets and ceremonial pomp. He had been with Chief Aeneas on the presidential visit and would have led a delegation to discuss the reclamation act before Interior Secretary Ballinger. He was known to be friendly to white residents but opposed to exploiters of his people.
