“Indian Song Bird,” Owen Sound Sun Times. April 22, 1932. Page 5. ---- "LUBHANYA" which in Indian tongue means "song bird” a member of the Chickasaw tribe of Oklahoma pictured in front of the Berlin embassy during her recent visit. This Indian princess recently made her debut in Europe at a concert hold at the Beethoven auditorium and was acclaimed by the critics as the possessor of a fine contralto voice.

[AL: Some of this coverage is wrong - Lubhanya is a Hindi word, not a Chickasaw word, though it may also be badly mispelled. The story appears to be referring to Te Ata, or Mary Frances Thomson Fisher, an actress and singer from the Chickasaw Nation.]
