father, they are Indians, and those that have mixed
blood father and an Indian mother, they are Indians. But
those that have mixed blood mother and a white father are
mixed bloods.
Q. If both father and mother are mixed bloods, are the
children mixed bloods or Indians?
A. When both parents are mixed bloods, the children are
mixed bloods.
Q. Now, if a white man marries a mixed blood woman, as I
understand you, you would call their children mixed bloods?
A. That is the way I see it.
Q. Now, if an Indian, a full blood Indian, marries a
mixed blood, are their children mixed bloods?
A. No, sir.
Q. You call then full bloods?
A. Yes, sir, the man is, they come from his body.
Q. Has that been, has that always been your understanding
of mixed bloods and full bloods?
A. That is the way I see it. When a white man marries an
Indian woman and they have a male child, that child has very
little of the white blood and if this child marries a full
blood Indian woman a very small amount of the white blood
is transmitted.
Q. If the child of the white man and the Indian woman
is a female, is there any difference?

A. Just the same. They are alike.
Q. In the olden days, when you were a young woman, were
there any mixed bloods among the Indians?
A. No, sir, they came around when they began to have
annuity payments.
Q. How old were you at that time?
A. I do not know. I believe you count it how many
years I have lived; I believe you count it 70 years last
fall. You have gone back on the records and ascertain it
to be 70 years.
Q. Do the mixed bloods dress the same as the full blood
Indians?
A. No, sir, they do not. They came here just recently
when the father of those Indians came onto the reservation.
Q. Then you did not know any mixed bloods at all when you
were a young woman?
A. No, sir, I never saw any of the mixed bloods where we
lived. It was considerable wilderness at the time I was
a girl.
Thank you, that's all.
