Dr. Eastman on "The Real Indian"

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Dr. Charles A. Eastman of Amherst, Massachusetts, a full-blooded Sioux Indian, delivered a lecture in the Union last evening on "The Real Indian,"-speaking of his training, ideals, and philosophy of life. From his childhood, said Dr. Eastman, the Indian boy is taught to look up to the Great Mystery, to develop his body, to live a simple life, and to be daring and fearless, yet unselfish. The real Indian despised the great machinery of civilization, considering it a defacement of nature. He mourned equally for his friend and his enemy, and until he had been cheated by the English, taught to use whiskey, and driven from his hunting ground, he showed that he was a firm and modest friend. The men of our modern civilization do not surpass him in physical endurance, manhood, nor in depth of philosophy.
