1909 - first publication of the "Smoking the Pipe of Peace" at Miami University

1888 - Nov.



In the 1860's, Miami University (Oh) was already appropriating Native American culture with the "Smoking the Pipe of Peace" - a popular tradition during Commencement Week Class Day activities. "Sachems" (often dressed as "Indian Chiefs") would roast other students verbally, and then share in the pipe to make peace.

This tradition was first seen in a 1909 issue of The Miami Student.

In 1926, this image by Frank Snyder appeared in the Alumni Newsletter. It's of the Miami University Glee Club performing the Scalp Song prior to a football game. These singers would perform dressed in blankets, and to the beat of a tom-tom. The caption read, “The Miami Men’s Chorus, dressed in feathered headgear and bright blankets, from under which linen knickers and golf-socks incongruously peeped out, sang the stirring war song of the Tribe.” 

Scalp Song Lyrics (1916)

The tribes go forth to war,
Their scalp songs ring afar;
Bright the blood-red camp-fires gleaming,
Mad with thirst the war-hawks screaming;
Signal smoke soars high,
Beckons in the sky,
Old men shake their calabashes,
Warriors dance amid the ashes,
Maidens sobbing, war-drums throbbing,
War!
Far and wide their host is scattered,
Spears are broken, shields are battered;
Miami! Yuh! Yuh! Yuh! Yuh!
Miami! Yuh! Yuh! Yuh! Yuh!
Race them, chase them, pound them, hound them
Wow!

1938 - Miami University in Ohio starts yet another Indian tradition

 The marching band at Miami University (Ohio) was formed in 1937, with the inclusion of an Indian-theme. It included two "Indian dancers" with tom-toms to play to the crowd, along with the new drum-majors and majorettes. The band wrote the "Scalp Song" and the dancers would entertain with a "war dance."
