On their arrival at the Museum, therefore, I took them upon the stage and personally introduced them to the public. The Indians liked this attention from me, as they had been informed that I was the proprietor of the great establishment in which they were invited and honored guests. My patrons were of course pleased to see these old chiefs, as they knew they were the “_real_ thing,” and several of them were known to the public, either as being friendly or cruel to the whites. After one or two appearances upon the stage, I took them in carriages and visited the Mayor of New York in the Governor’s room at the City Hall. Here the Mayor made them a speech of welcome, which being interpreted to the savages was responded to by a speech from one of the chiefs, in which he thanked the great “Father” of the city for his pleasant words, and for his kindness in pointing out the portraits of his predecessors hanging on the walls of the Governor’s room.

白话
印第安酋长们到了博物馆后，巴纳姆亲自把他们带上舞台，介绍给观众。酋长们觉得受到尊重，因为巴纳姆告诉他们，自己是这家大机构的老板，而他们是受邀的贵客。观众也很高兴见到这些“货真价实”的老酋长，其中几位还因对白人友好或残忍而闻名。演出几次后，巴纳姆又用马车带他们去市政厅拜见纽约市长。市长致欢迎词，翻译给酋长们听，一位酋长致答谢词，感谢这位城市“父亲”的盛情，也感谢他指点墙上历任市长的画像。巴纳姆懂得：给表演者面子，就是给观众真实感，也给自己挣信誉。
