The Winnebagos were the most powerful and intelligent of the mighty Siouan family that were left in the middle west after their forbears, the Sioux, had drifted farther west to give war to the fast encroaching white man. For many years the Winnebagos roamed through Illinois, but at present their largest settlement is in the Black River Falls district of Wisconsin. While they are essentially “woods” Indians, they have taken a keen interest in farming. They still prefer to live in wigwams, although their tribal characteristics incline towards the modern methods. The Winnebagos are not a vanishing race, and their standards or morality and education place them among the highest type of modern Indian. In this exceedingly interesting educational picture the manners, customs, sports and pastimes of this proud and haughty tribe are shown in a series of intimate picturesque scenes. One scene shows them at their bead weaving. Another view shows their adeptness at canoe making and repairing. Still another scene gives us an idea of their strange games. Their renowned ceremonial dances are also shown. On the whole, the picture is wonderfully entertaining, remarkably instructive and delightfully picturesque.
