Buffalo Hunt and Indian Celebration at 101 Ranch Ends in Controversy
A National Editorial Association visit to the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch near Bliss Oklahoma sparked a buffalo hunt, buffalo dinner, and Indian celebration for about fifty thousand guests. Geronimo led a bold attack on a killed buffalo while Dr. H. and Thomas hunted in an automobile. Authorities later forbid further slaughter of buffalo on tribal lands, citing humane concerns and plans to build a large herd. The event featured a grand arena, a long parade, a wild west show, dances, and a $14,000 automobile display, drawing crowds who rode in on Santa Fe trains and drove in from surrounding areas. The Ponca and Otoe nations planned celebrations marking the dissolution of tribal ties amid the spectacle.
