One article on the Ab Indians, as they are locally called in addition to the term Wins, appeared in the Richmond (Virginia) [begin italics]Dispatch[end italics] in one of the Sunday issues some years ago. At other times, more recently, there have been letters in the newspapers discussing the group, and since the founding of the Indian Mission about the year 1900, some short articles and notes have been published in the mission papers of the church.
