THE PLAINS INDIAN — EWERS 543 



ton after participating in the parade after President Woodrow 

 Wilson's inauguration (pi. 18). 



In the solemn ceremonies marking the burial of the Unknovm 

 Soldier of World War I in Arlington Cemetery on November 11, 

 1921, one man was selected to place a magnificent feather bonnet upon 

 the casket as a tribute from all American Indians to their country's 

 unknown dead. He was Plenty Coups, an aged, dignified war chief 

 among the Crow Indians of Montana. This was one hundred years 

 to the very month after the young Pawnee hero Petalesharro first 

 appeared in the Nation's capital wearmg a picturesque flowing- feather 

 bonnet. During the intervening century the war-bomieted Plains 

 Indian emerged as the widely recognized symbol of the North 

 American Indian.
