Indian girls prefer farming |
Description |
Indian girls prefer farming. - Seneca Indian girls on the Tonawanda Indian reservation near here, following three centuries of tradition, are busy winning 4-H Club prizes for farming, while the boys play baseball and lacrosse. "The old Indian attitude--let the squaws do the work--still persists" Melvin Merton, Genesee County director of 4-H Club work, said. The girls, he said, were more interested in gardens and outdoor farm work than in sewing and cooking, while the boys found a lacrosse stick much easier to handle than a hoe--and far less tiresome. |
