The Wolfsputten

Do you know the Indian story of the Wolfsputten? It is an indianan story in the literal sense and not in the figurative... The story goes that in 1958 there were Indians living in Dilbeek. A lot of people think it's a joke, but it really is. For the World Expo in 1958, Sioux Indians came to Brussels. They would perform in the American Pavilion. They were allowed to spend the night in a villa that was built by De Vries, an apple farmer from Dilbeek. He had the villa built to rent it out to the Indians for six months. But suddenly the manager of those Indians ran off with all the money, leaving the Sioux without a penny here. Eventually, the Indians were helped out by American banjo player Derrol Adams, who gave some benefit concerts. With that proceeds, the tribe was able to fly home again. And to this story came another fictional or not: A group, headed by Wise Wolf, did not like the return to the US. They were tired of being treated stepmotherly in their own country... dumped in reserves... They did not return to America but disappeared into the Wolfsputten... And that's where they are.
