EDIT: wrong NYTimes article. This one is much older. The one referenced above is actually here[1]. The article also has a quote by Chief Fallen Trees called Roosevelt “our Great White Father” lol
Hmm ok I got access to the article through The Wikipedia Library. I can’t share my link but if you have institutional access, you can see it here.[0] Even more strange is that this NYTimes article claims it was the Red Men of America. Which I truly hope is not the same thing as the Improved Order of Red Men. More helpfully it claims it was Chief Paul Horn who awarded this. He is a member of the Kootenai tribe
Hmm, I don’t have institutional access, are you perchance able to screenshot (or snip tool) it? I’ve seen that it’s likely the Iroquois Confederation, but it’s hard to confirm it because…y’know, America never gave a shit about accurately recording/naming Indigenous organizations
Never though I’d see Roosevelt called “Great White Father” that’s something else. the next year it was awarded to General MacArthur, and the year after that Eisenhower. I think “Red Men of America” was just a racist NYTimes thing, I haven’t found that to be the name of any organization.
My favourite part is when the photographers tried to get this other dude to wear it what the heck. You can’t just slap those on for a photoshoot if they’re not yours.
Edit: by favourite I hope it’s clear I mean this whole thing is so uncomfortable, right down to the very awkward way that they write about Indigenous people in this

See my edit. I was looking at the wrong article 🤦. Yes here’s snippets. It’s… kinda bad :(
