Text from the above printed page:  “On assignment from her newspaper, the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, reporter Wanda Sue Parrott researched a startling number of alleged haunting incidents in which the purported ghosts were those of [American Indians]. In a symbolic ceremony in 1968 Len Fairchuck, of the White Buffalo All-Indian Workshop in Los Angeles, made Wanda an honorary chief of the White Buffalo. The paper headdresses and neck band shown were made at the workshop established by Fairchuck to help Indians earn livings when moving from reservations to the city. Ms. Parrott has Cherokee blood in her own lineage.”
