When Columbus and other early
explorers first visited this continent,
about four hundred years ago, they
found a people, though few in mum
bers, distributed over wide portion
of the country.
These people, though in some re
spects differed very much IN customs
and languages The southern sec
tons were more densely populated
and had attained, to some degree,
civilization and culture.
The whole population was primi,
tive however and their mode OF life
was such as could be satisfied by the
natural resources of places in which
they lived
The streams and forests gave boun-
tifully OF their resources, and fruits,
meats and other necessities of life
were easily obtained. Their clothing,
though scant, was easily provided
from the hides and furs OF animals
The entire Indian population at
this early period Is estimated to have
been three hundred thousand, which
would not be greater in number than
the people now living in one of our
large cities.
These people were divided into
many tribes and clans. and their lang
uages differed so greatly that those
living in one section of the country
would not be able to converse with
those living only a short distance
from them.
There were no great community
| interests and the various tribes were
often making war upon each other
Thus while they developed into brave
and energetic warriors and hunters
there was little progress in the ac
quiring Of the finer qualities of hu-
man nature.
While those particular tribes were
willing TO share with each other in
common, they loathed to recognize
the rights Of other tribes. This brief
" is about all that is tGld Us of these
early people.
with the settlement OF the cont
nent by the white race, they naturally
came into conflict These native peo
pie were slow 10 give up their modes
of life and adopt that Of the white
man. At times they lived in peace
with each other or in close proximity
The different aims of the two races

Indian wars, but which in fac
was only predominant people driv

= A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN
BY
NANCY l.. !
SCHMIDT
"a Sioux |

From this condition of affairs came
the Reservation system as at present
defined. During President Grants
administration the Indians were in
duced to select certain sections Of the
country which were to be reserved
Tor their use, and hence the term of
Indian reservation. With the reser-
walton system the disappearance of
game began and it was not long until
they could no longer supply their
wants from the natural resources Of
the country. The great herds Of
buffalo, deer antelope and elk, etc,
were soon destroyed by the murder
Gus and avaricious greed of the white
man.
The indians no longer being able
to support themselves from these re
sources and not being able to adapt
themselves to the cultivation of the
soil, il became necessary for the gov
crnmcnt to provide subsistence and
clothing for them, and in this way
the ration system was developed
This IA ion system, though a necessity
was PEI haps the greatest factor in re
tarding the development of the Indian
he pei 'cy OF issuing rations and sup
plies to indians has often been con
demned, but il must be remembered
that in = 'acing these people on reser
vations. N many instances, where it
was absoi ltel Y i'm possible Tor them
10 provdn for themselves, ration
system on starvation were the only
two sources to be pursued.
With the reservation system began
the education of the Indian by the
Government. Schools were establish
ed and every inducement prescribed
to have this people adapt themselves
to the industrial. social and religious
life of the white man.
After several years of the reserva
tlon system there began the breaking
up OF tribal relations and community v
interests. About 1890 began the divi
sion Of land in saverality. The In
diars were now induced to take their
allotted divie ions of land, which in
many instance : was $40 acres to the
| head Of the mily and 100 acres to
each child. This placed the Indian
in new rela ION to the Government,
he becomes u citizen with all the
rights and privileges so conveyed, and
10 also charged with the responsible
ties OF a citil u.
The land remaining after the In
dians were al tied, is open to settle
ment by the v hite man or any citizen
F, of the United States. In many in
stances, this amounts to millions OF
acres remainir,-, after all Indians have
received allotnents, and this land is
thrown open t. settlem ent. We have
the rush Of white people "to the re
servation opening" for which South
Dakota is noteO.
The. educational work of the las
ten or fifteen years has greatly deve
cped Recent statistics gives the er
tire Indian population OF the United
States in 1910 as 265 ,6S3. These ar,
distributed over almost the entir,
country. Delaware having only five
and Oklahoma having the creates
number 1885 Indians. South Dakc
ia ranks third IN Indian population
