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.
