THE ESTABLISHMENT OF REDMANSHIP IN KENTUCKY BY THE GREAT COUNCIL OF THE UNITED STATES, 1852.

We have but the briefest record of the introduction of Redmanship into the Reservation of Kentucky.

Worthy Great Incohonee Wm. Tucker, in his long talk to the Great Council of the United States in 5613 (1852), referred to the organization of Chickasaw Tribe, No. 1, of Newport, Kentucky, and Black Hawk Tribe, No. 2, of Covington. The date of the introduction of the Order into Kentucky was the 29th of Hot Moon, G. S. 5612, (June 29, 1852). The first Prophet of Black Hawk Tribe, No. 2, was A. J. Francis, afterwards sixteenth Great Incohonee of the G. C. U. S.

There were also established the following Tribes, though we have no record of the exact date of their institution:

Pocahontas Tribe, No. 3, of Newport, G. S. 5613.

Kentucky, No. 4, of Louisville, G. S. 5614.
