The exhibit occupied a reservation of about 10 acres in the northwest
corner of the fair grounds, and its location at the extreme end of the
anthropological exhibit typified the advancement of a primitive people
toward civilization. Around the border of the reservation were arranged
in a semicircle the native dwellings of the "blanket" or uncivilized
Indians, as follows: Beginning at the western end of the semicircle, a
Kickapoo bark house; the Maricopa-Pima group in two kees, one tent and
summer houses; Arapaho group, one stockaded tepee; Geronimo, the great
Apache medicine man, one (decorated) tepee; Pawnee group, ceremonial
earth lodge or residence temple; Wichita group, grass lodge, summer
house, and one tepee; Pueblo group, two tents and two summer sheds; Pomo
group, one tent; Apache group, two tepees. These habitations were
erected by the Indians themselves.

The Indians were grouped as follows: Six Pima, Arizona; 5 Maricopa,
Arizona; 23 Arapaho, 35 Cheyenne, 50 Pawnee, 35 Wichita, 5 Comanche, 9
San Carlos Apache, 20 Osage, all from Oklahoma; 29 Pueblo and 23 Navaho,
New Mexico; 35 Sioux, Rosebud, S. Dak.; 2 Pomos, California; 8 Jicarilla
Apache; 25 Chippewa, Minnesota; a total of 310.

The school building was a two-story structure of the old Mission style
of architecture, standing at the rear of the reservation and extending
the width of it. A hall ran the length of the building on either side of
which were the booths containing the exhibits. The idea was to show the
contrast between the civilized and uncivilized Indian
