OUTLINE OF CONDITIONS
ENDORSED BY THE MAYOR
Explains From Island Viewpoint
Reasons for Friction Between In
dams and Father Duncan.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The mayor and council of Metlakatla,
on Annette Island. Alaska. have direct
ed me to take notice of the article.
written by Mr.. Frank G. Carpenter. on
Father Duncan's work. which appeared
in your issue of February IS. 1916, and
which also appeared in the other papers
of the country.
Were it not for the wrong impression
that 1t has left on the minds of the
readers as to the proper course of af-
fairs here at Metlakatla, We would
have passed it unchalienged. as We
have done many times before when
Father Duncan's work was described
and exaggerated upon by persons who
meant well, buedi not know the sit
uation well.
The article states that in spite of
Father Duncan's protest. and in oppo-
sition to him, the government has
come into the Metlakatla community
and established a large public school
for the Indians, the result of which was
"a division of opinion among the Met
right one, and the friction at present
existing is not good for the commu-
nifty" The noted writer quotes Father
Duncan as saying that the Metlakatla
Indians should he treated more like
children, and that their education
should be almost altogether religious
and industrial one"

Indians Pay Part of Cost.

On account of the lack of funds al the
disposal of the bureau of education the
Indians paid part of the salary of the
first teacher appointed for Metlakatla
in the fall of 1913. provided a large hall
at their own expense for the daily use
of the school, furnished fuel and light,
gave the teacher the free use Of an In
dian dwelling house, and in every pos
sible way helped in the beginning of
the work.
The government. therefore. did not
come into Metlakatla for the sake of
opposing Father Duncan or opposing
his work. 1t was convinced, after full.
complete and impartial Investigations.
of the justice of the demands of the
Indians Then it granted to the
Metlakatla Indians the school and its
privileges that they themselves had
asked for and later on. when they ask
ed for them again, the rights OF local
Selfgovernment-
The matter of Industrial enterprises
at Metlakatla. of which the Indians
have been deprived for many years. is
at the present time being arranged for
by the Indians themselves under the
advice and supervision of the proper
officials of the Interior Department.
These enterprises principally consist
of the salmon cannery, the sawmill and
the trading store.
The council wishes to state that the
Indians themselves have subscribed an
amount, are still putting their small
savings together, and are at the same
time borrowing sum of money, so
that these enterprises can be operated
this year for the benefit of the whole
community after many years of I'M
certainty and hardship. These acts OF
the Metlakatla Indians today establish
the fact that Father Duncan failed to
do right with his Indian converts be-
tween the years 1887 and 1910.

Explanation of Friction"

The friction" of which Mr.. Carpen-
ter speaks that exists at Metlakatla is
between Father Duncan and his ten
male followers with their families, on
the one hand. and about $50 Indian
people, who have asked for the advice
and aid of the government. on the other
hand.
The former party believes. as Father
Duncan did in 1857. that We should be
treated more like children selfish
and inhuman assertion-while the lat
ter party holds to the fact that as far
back as 1882. when they asked Father
Duncan to become their leader, soon
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-04-02
Alleged Inference Drawn.

The inference is that the government
should have left Father Duncan and
his Indians entirely alone: that there
should have been no interference what
ever by any one in his work. and that
his course of treating the Indians like
children, after all his many years of
labor with them, was the only correct
course.
The council of Metlakatla wishes to
state the facts in regard to this matter,
and these facts are recorded and they
can be substantiated at the office of
the Governor of Alaska at Juneau, and
that of the Secretary of the Interior at
Washington.
After Father Duncan completely
failed to fulfill the requirements of
his mission to the Metlakatla Indians
between the years 1887 and about 1907,
the Indians began to make complaints
to The authorities in regard to him and
his school work. These repeated COM
plants resulted in a series of investi-
cations, conducted by several officials
of the government, on the general af-
fairs, particularly on the school affairs,
of Metlakatla. The officials that con-
Quoted these Investigations at different
times before the fall of 1913 were a
special agent of the interior Depart
ment, the chief of the. Alaska division
of the bureau of education, the Secre-
tary of the Interior under the proceed
ing administration and two of the gov
ernorS of this territory.

Proofs Submitted at Hearings.

1t was proved at these public hear
ings that the complaints of the Indians
against Father Duncan's methods were
well grounded and deeply rooted. Every
investigation by these officials always
ended with an urgent demand by the
Indians of MetIakatla that the discour-
aging and deplorable conditions exist
ing in the life of the Indians in regard
to their education. religion, indus
tries and the daily welfare of their
community be made better.
Father Duncan claimed that there
was absolutely nothing wrong with
Metlakatla. The whole thing was
gotten up by few "blackguards" and
'malcontents."
The Indians, on the other hand, al
ways pointed out to the authorities the
different wrongs that Father Duncan
deliberately committed. wrongs that
have already spoiled his work, wrongs
i'll which persons. regardless of their
reputation and station in life, were
amenable to the laws of the land.
These wrongs that were perpetrated on
the community of Metlakatla during a
period of over twenty years were re-
corded by the officials that conducted
the Investigations. F or. the sake of
the name of the Metlakatla mission and
the cause 1t represented. the officials
were dumb on the subject of these
wrongs at the time, and they are still
today.
This explains why it was that instead
of needing Father Duncan's strong
protests. which in any other case
should nave been respected and needed,
the authorities listened TO the petitions
of the Indians and granted them the
school facilities that they asked for in
the fall of 1913.
