Report Of Awful Conditions Among

Vancouver, B. C.-The following is
an extract from report made to the
government regarding the slave trade
among the British Columbia Indians,
the report being signed by CO ].
South. superintendent of the Chill
dren's Aid society:
AT Cape Nudge there is family
OF half-breeds, both men and girls
showing very little of the Indian in
them, and the elder brother, being
very ambitious and as unprincipled as
he Is ambitious, gave a potlach, spend,
ing some thousands of dollars, and it
is reported to me that the principal
portion of his money has been made
by the sale of girls, and from this
source he has become powerful and
rich.
Girls with white skins, thick
brown hair braided down their backs,
big, innocent, childish eyes, are being
sold today, and have been sold for
years, in British Columbia to the
highest bidders. The slave masters
are the Cape Nudge Indians. The
slaves are white because their grand
mothers were sold before to white
men. and when their grandmothers
wandered back to the tribe, deserted
and abandoned, they brought baby
girls with them, and in course of time
the male relatives of these abandoned
creatures sold these baby girls too,
when they grew up to young girl
hood"
