Encampment of Ioway Indians, Lord's Cricket Ground - the Welcome Speech, 1844. Native Americans in London: '...this celebrated party of Indians...have been encamped at Lord's Cricket-ground, St. John's Wood, where they have exhibited their skill in shooting with bows and arrows, in a grand archery fete, in ball-play, characteristic dances etc...'. Here we see '...a speech from the second chief - the Walking Rain, explained by the interpreter; in which he stated this to be the first encampment of the kind formed in this country; adding his congratulations on the numerous attendance. He then performed The Opening, or Welcome Dance, in full dress, as given in compliment to strangers or friends visiting a village, and when taking leave'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
