LEGAL ASPECTS OF POLITICAL STATUS OF ALASKAN ESKIMO
 DEFINED AND EluCIDATED

been the policy of Congress not to treat further with the Indians as tribes, and to govern them by law and Lot by treaty, and this policy affords ample reason why general laws should ;epply 10 individual Indians in Alaska as well as elsewhere.
 The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution desIgnates as citizens of ,he UnI1od States, and of the State Wherein they reside, all persons born CT naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof
 The reason that the Indian of the United States did not come under tl<
 ourLeenth Amondment has been biven by the Court in the case of ElA vs. Wilkins Q12 U. $. 94, Sup. Ct. ID in which it says:
 ''The Indian tribes, being within the D9rritorial limits of the Uuited States, were not. strictly speaking, foreign states, but they were alien nations, distinct political communities, with Whom the United States might and did deal, as they thought t. either through treaties made by ne President and Senate, or through act of Congress in the ordin1ry forms of Legislation The members of those several tribes owed immed . ate allegiance to their tribes, and were not part of the people of the United States"
 The Eskimos of AOska are divided into a considerable number of geo. graphic divisions, based chiefly on locality and dialectic differences. Po- they differ from the Indian of 1 he United States proper, in that they Ire not organized into tribes and we allegiance to no power other hap ti at of the Federal Government.
 IHe oTBdnIc ACI cTGdllnS leS.ty- lative assembly in the Territory of Al aska, and conferring legislative power thereon, extended the Constitution and laws of the United States to Alaska, bu. limited the power of the legisla- ure in the matter of amending, alter ing. modifying or repeating the gen eral laws of the United States"
 The second territorial legislature u915) realizing the value of citizen ship to the descendants of .he ab0ria
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-12-29

inal tribes of Alaska, enacted a law (Chap. 24 Session Laws of Alaska, lJ15), under the provisions of which native Indians born within the limits of the territory of Alaska may have the fact of their citizenship definitely established by complying with the terms of said Act. Congress could pass such a law without question, but the right of the Territorial Legis- lGture to pass laws directing the is- suance of certificates of citizenship 70 Indians, or "whites," is very doubt ful.
 h the naturalization of John Mi- nook c Alaska 200) the Court held that the petitioner was citizen at the time of making his application, and because the Court could add noth- ing to his status as a citizen, denied his application.
 Any person who is over the age of 21, a citizen of the United States and an actual bona fide resident V Alaska and who has been such resi-. dent during the entire year immedi- ately preceding :he election, has the qualifications of voter. Such person, desiring to exercise his rig',l of franchise, if challenged, can qualify under oath, after which such vote must be accepted by the election judges. Should such affidavit be false, he could be prosecuted for per jury thereu1der. (Sec. 401 Comp. Laws of Alaska)
 The Alaskan Eskimos have 10 tribal relations; are subject to the juris- diction of the United States and. in the opinion of the writer, are citizens of the United States, with all the rights and privileges accruing there under, and therefore have the right of suffrage.
