Permit me to introduce to you the bearer, No-ho-mun-ya (Roman Nose), an Ioway brave. Roman Nose, in company with Shon-ta-yi-ga, or Little Wolf, in October last defended and rescued from impending death by a party of his own nation, ten Omahaw Indians, consisting of four respected chiefs, braves, and squaws, under circumstances highly flattering to their bravery and humanity. I would recommend that a medal be presented to No-ho-mun-ya (Roman Nose) as a testimonial of his meritorious conduct on the occasion referred to. Medals from the Government are highly esteemed by the Indians; and if bravery and humanity are merits in the Indian, then I think Roman Nose richly merits one. His character in every respect is good. A notice by the Government of meritorious acts by the Indians has a happy tendency in making a favourable impression in reference to the act that may be the cause of the notice. I have presented Little Wolf with a medal that was in the office. On receiving it, he very delicately replied, that "he deserved no credit for what he had done--that he had only done his duty, but was gratified that his conduct had merited the approbation of his nation and his father." I have the honour to be, very respectfully, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. H. HARVEY, Sup. Ind. Aff. To his Excellency John Tyler, President of the United States, Washington City. I concur with Mr. Harvey in thinking this Indian Chief entitled for his bravery and humanity to a medal. June 8, 1844. J. TYLER, Presid. U. States, Washington City. Medal delivered accordingly to Mr. Geo. H. C. Melody, for the Chief. June 8, 1844. J. HARTLEY CRAWFORD. _Okee-wee-me_ (the wife of the Little Wolf) is the mother of the infant pappoose, called Corsair. This child is little more than three months old, and slung in the cradle on the mother's back, according to the general custom practised by all the American tribes, and furnishes one of the most interesting illustrations in the group.
