Chief of the confederated tribes of Indians of Siletz reservation,
Oregon, lineal descendant of a long line of Rogue River chiefs, was
captured when a small boy at the Rogue River war between the United
States forces and the Rogue River tribes of Southern Oregon, and
carried to the Siletz reservation, where he has lived ever since. He
is a fine speaker, and has acted many years as an interpreter. This
office having brought him into close and constant contact with
American civilization, he long ago abandoned his aboriginal habits
and religion, and adopted the customs and faith of the whites. He is
well known throughout Oregon, and is held in the highest esteem. He
has been complimented by the judges everywhere for his integrity and
intelligence, and both by his loyalty and education is a living
proof of the folly and wickedness of the theory that the Indian can
neither be civilized nor be made the friend of the white race.
VIII. PIMAS.
1. PAPAGOS.
The Papapootans, as they style themselves, belong to the Pima family,
and have long resided in the country south of the Gila. Have always been
at enmity with the Apaches until within the last year, but were friendly
to the Spaniards, who, with a few exceptions, have maintained missions
among them continuously up to the present time. At the close of the
Mexican war were Mexican citizens, and partly civilized, but were not
recognized as such by the United States, and were left without an agency
or reservation until 1874, when they were settled on the Santa Cruz
River, a tributary of the Gila, on a tract of 70,400 acres. They now
number between 5,000 and 6,000 souls. Have well-cultivated farms, and
live in houses of their own construction.

2. PIMAS.
The Pimas, calling themselves Ohotama, are a portion of a family of
Indians of the same name, comprising, besides themselves, the Opates,
Eudevis, and Joves, occupying much of Southern Arizona, Sonora, and
Sinaloa. Missions were established among them at an early day by the
Spaniards, but they revolted many times, killing several of the
missionaries. They have long been divided into the Upper and Lower
Pimas, the former living on the Gila, in mud-covered huts, and
cultivating the soil extensively. Have been long associated with the
Maricopas, the two tribes now living together as one on a reservation of
64,000 acres. The Pimas now number 4,100; are self-supporting, wear
civilized dress, and are ready for the privileges of citizenship.
