United States authorities with the band OF
Metlakahtla Indians, which, under man
named Duncan, removed from British Col
umbia last summer % an island of the
southwest coast Of Alaska after receiving
permission from Washington to do so. These
Indians, about 500 in all, it will be remem-
bered, left their reierves in British Columbia
on account, as they allege, Of the severe
treatment thoy We're subjected 30 from the
Dominion government, TO which they had al
ways been source Of trouble. 1t now ap.
pears that Duncan, who visited Washington,
deceived the Indians in inducing them to
emigrate to Alaska by promising them that
the United States government had given
them Annette and other adjacent islands on
the southwest coast Of Alaska, which to
them was TO be freehold divided up among
the tribe. They have just discovered the
fraud which has been porpeirated upon ihem
but Duncan, it Is alleged, throws the respon-
siblity on the United States authorities A
gentleman who has just returned from
Alaska says there Is trouble brewing for the
United States.
