There just could not be an Iowa State Student or alumnus who does not thrill to the word, "Veishea." There is something about it that lends a delightful excitement, perhaps not unlike the word "circus" to a small boy.

A splinter of bone served as a needle. The woman's husband using a sharpened stone cut lodge poles- which he dragged to the home site. The Indian woman's tepee has been copied by the whites and there is no superior in Europe. Manufacture of clothing and furniture took much of the woman's time."-so says Bliss Isley in an interesting article on The First American Home in the April edition of Better Homes and Gardens.
