CANNOT KILL CARIBOU
ANYWHERE In THE STATE
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Has Issued Orders Forbid
ding Red Lake Indians Killing These Rare Animals.
Even on the Indian Reservation

/ The Superintendent was advised
further that before a direct order TO
that effect should be issued, it was
deemed advisable to have the benefit
of his experience with the Indians.
SO that steps might be taken to
prevent the destruction of caribou
either on or off the reservation by
the Indians with the least possible
friction.
The superintendent, under date
OF April 18. 1908, reports that he
has already directed the policemen
and interpreter to give notice to the
Indians that caribou must not be
killed. He says that the ice in the
swamps is now thawing and that he
does not believe the Indians Of the
agency will attempt to kill another
caribou within the next six months.
He says further that the subject
should be explained to the Indians
at one of their councils next fall
and the reasons for forbidding the
killing of caribou explained in a
proper manner. He is of the
opinion that the slaughter of these
animals by the Indians can be
stopped without causing much fric-
ton, and although there may be
few individuals who will attempt to
kill caribou, he thinks that by taking
away the guns and ammunition from
such Indians for a period of six
months, they will leave the caribou
alone.
The Office has this day advised
the superintendent that the killing
of caribou off the reservation by
Indians is in violation of the state
laws and must cease, and that the
Indians are forbidden to kill caribou
on the reservation. He has been
directed to bring the matter to the
attention of the Indians in one of
their councils next fall, showing
them that the slaughter of these
animals means their determination
because so few are left, and to en-
deavor by p"acable means to prevent
the killing of caribou on the reserva-
ton. If such means are Ineffective
he has been directed to take such
steps as he deems necessary to pre-
vent the hunting of the game..in ques-
ton upon the reservation.
The office will be pleased to be
promptly advised of any complaints
with regard to the failure of the
Indians to comply with the game
laws of the State or the hunting by
them of game upon the reservation,
which renders ineffective state laws
drawn for its protection.
Very respectfully,
A. E. LARRABEE.
Acting Commissioner"
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-05-19

Carlos Avery, executive agent
for the State Game and Fish Com
mission, has succeeded in obtaining
from the U. S. commissioner of
Indian affairs orders to the
Indian agent at Red Lake agency,
whereby the Red Lake Indians are
forbidden to kill caribou not only off
the reservation but also within the
confines of the reserve.
Heretofore, the Red Lakers have
been allowed to do about as they
pleased with relation to observing
the state game and fish laws, and the
reds have killed many Of the caribou
which have inhabited the territory
north of the upper arm of Red lake;
and it has been of sort of senti-
ment that the Indian was a privi-
legged person when it came to killing
game.
Resently, A. G. Rutledge, the Be-
midi warden for the State Game
and Fish commission, complained to
the executive agent that the caribou
were being killed off the reservation
by the Indians, and he suggested
that the matter be taken up direct
with the commissioner of Indian
affairs at Washington. This sug-
gestion was acted upon by both
Carlos Avery and Mr.. Rutledge, with
the result that an order was promul-
gated at Washington, directed to
Earl w. Allen, agent at Red Lake,
ordering the Indians to cease killing
caribou off the reservation. Now,
this order has been followed by a
later ukase, which forbids the reds
killing caribou, anywhere, either on
or off the reservation, and MI. Avery
has received a letter from the acting
commissioner, as follows:
Washington, D. c., May 10.
Carlos Avery, Esq, Board of Game
and Fish Commission, St. Paul,
MINI.
Sir In further response to your
letter of March 18th, 1908, in the
matter. of the killing of caribou by
the Indians on the Red Lake Indian
reservation, you are informed that
on April IL, 1908, the Office advised
the superintendent in charge of the
Red Lake agency that the killing of
caribou by Indians of the reservation
in violation of the state laws must
be stopped, and he was directed to
take prompt steps to that end. He
was advised also that in view of the
fact that there is only small herd
of caribou remaining in Minnesota,
the Office was determined to act
with the state authorities and to
prevent the killing of caribou on
the reservation.
