RED INDIAN CHIEFS
World Tour For M.R.A. "The Press" Special Service WELLINGTON, March 31. An 80-year-old Red Indian chieftain, Chief Walking Buffalo of the Sioux tribe, told the Mayor of Wellington (Mr F. J. Kitts, M.P.) yesterday that he travelled the world on “God’s mission.” Chief Walking Buffalo is one of a party of 11 Canadians, eight of them Red Indians, who are touring the world on behalf of Moral Rearmament. A member of the party, the Hon. Miles Phillimore, grandson of the first Lord Phillimore who drafted for the British Government the first covenant of the League of Nations, said Chief Walking Buffalo was taking his message to 100 million people. It was not yet known how long the group would stay in New Zealand, but the chief wished to return to Canada by June, and had been invited to visit Australia and South Africa before he did so. . Chief Walking Buffalo, Chief David Crowchild and Joseph Kootenay, all of whom wore the traditional costume and headdress of their tribes, entertained the mayor with an Indian song.
