The indian.

l.
Of the Indian written by one OF
the members of the Circle, which
deeply interested me. Every one
seems to have different idea OF
them. Briefly I shall give you
mine. Just imagine yourself to
be on one of the western reserva-
tions on the day the government
issues cattle to the Indians. There
you will see large, roomy quarters
for the soldiers who form part OF
the Agency. Then looking out
across the reservation you will see
numerous small frame houses,
with here and there a wigwam.
In these houses the red men live.
To look at them from the govern
ment's point of view you would
cay they were we'll taken care OF.
The Indian thinks differently.
These are his reasons. In the
first place there is no section
where corruption is SO prevalent.
The houses in which the Indians
are forced to live are, to my point
of view, nothing more than pest
houses. And on account of this
they are dying very fast.
It is a well-known fact that the
Indian will never be content to
live in the house of the pale-faces.
This disease was unknown to them
before the white man came. They
have been driven, robbed and
slaughtered until the very ground
we walk upon cries out in shame.
Why are they forced to live thus?
Because the white man, not con-
tent with part of the earth wants
/! it all, never giving a thought to
the hundreds who perish.
The Buffalo and deer which
once roamed over the plains in
vast numbers and which furnished
the Indian with clothes, food and
shelter are now a thing of the past.
The Indians clothes today are
Government made-and their moe.
casins are made from the hides OF
Government cattle. Surely the
Indian has right to complain
Next we see large corral, which
is full of cattle. They do not de-
serve the name of cattle-a stack
of bones it would be better to cal
them. They are the cast-outs o.
all the ranches. Still they are fol
the Indians and for them are gooc
!, enough. We see them early II
the morning-hundreds of INDIAN
eagerly waiting outside of the cor
: raj for their allowance, from tbi
, bunch of poorly fed beeves.
The agent calls the name o
Running Bear, who when found
is sent to the rear of the corral &C
companied by his family. One o
the steers is then turned loose AM
is followed by Running Bear AM
family. When at short distanc
the steer is slaughtered, quick
cut up and taken to his wigwar
where a great feast is soon L
progress. So on until all hav
been served. This supply OF mea
must last for some time and if tn
