Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Gilbert was made a Chief of 
the ~ Chippewa Indians today in a colorful ceremony, staged 
near ^ontiac. Gilbert has intervened on behalf of the Soo 
tribe of the Chippewa s several times in recent months. The 
controversy arose when some braves insisted . Gilbert 
of an old treaty and tried to hunt without a ^license. Gil 
finally convinced the -Michigan Conservation Commission that 
a treaty was a treaty, no matter how old. Gilbert firsu va 
made an Honorary member of the tribe. Then, after 
saved some Tipey Indians from the hoosegow, he was made a 
nrobat ionarv chief, the idea being that he had to conduct 
himself with propriety befitting a Chippewa for a year bef r 
getting 'his rank. So often did ohe Indians get into trouble 
however, and so often did Gilbert come to their aid that the 
tribal authorities decided to cut the probation time. Today, 
SlbSt is Chief ’’Look All Over The land” in charge of the^ 
legal department of the Chippewas. He is the first white man 
ever to have been made a full chief of the tribe.
