June 26, 1937: Indians to discard Cayuses for Trailers

INCHELIUM - Indian adoption of the white man's motor mode brought a new problem for the Colville Reservation July 4 Celebration Committee.

Members said tribesmen from the Coeur d'Alene Reservation in Idaho would come by car and trailer instead of by cayuse and trailing buckboard. The lack of facilities for carrying teepee poles on the vehicles offer the problem. The committee will provide the poles.
