Title
Dartmouth Archivist Letter on Origin of Indian Head Insignia
Description
This letter, written by a Dartmouth Archivist in 1948, explains that although the first uses of the Indian insignia may date back as early 1860, no “definite proof” could be established until 1909. However, the use of the “Wah-Hoo-Wah” chant, the archivist notes, began in 1879.
