Orville J. Green, author of the first article, discussed the early history of the Mesquaki Indians (also known as Sac and Fox.) He covered the regional split between the Sac and Fox, their shared language and traditions, and the history of the nation in the 17th and 18th centuries. The next article, written by Arthur C. Parker, discussed the Society of American Indians and their Second Annual Conference, held in October. The next two articles, written by Albert B. Reagan and Winfield W. Scott respectively, covered the Apache three-stick game, and the Absarokee bird people of the Missouri River. Grace Ellis Taft and Albert B. Reagan wrote the final two articles. The first, by Taft, discussed the Iroquoian Princess Neresta. The final article by Reagan, brought up Mary Fisher, a Chippewa who became one of the few women mail carriers in the United States. In the editorial comment the Fort Lapwai Sanatorium, the Cayuga New York court decision, and personal hygiene were discussed.
