- Summary:
- In 1902 in the 'Indian Journal', his newspaper, Posey introduced his most beloved persona, Fus Fixico (or in English, 'Heartless Bird'), an alleged conservative 'Snake' Creek. Until Posey's death in 1908, Fixico retailed his conversations with his friends Hotgun and Toofpafka Micco, conveying their points of view about Indian politics, the prospects for an Indian state joining the Union, the irresponsibility of distant newspapers that reported on Indian events without stepping a foot from the road, and many other topics.
