IS It Legal?

(By DIR. Montezuma, in "Wassaja."
Again we must touch upon legal
questions, but let it be known that
we are not lawyers. We are only
guided by common sense.
It does not look right to dispose
of the Indian lands without consent
of the Indians. It does not look
right to spend Indians money
without consent of the Indians. It
does not look right to sell land
that belongs to a dead Indian TO
settlers without the consent of his
or her relatives. 1t does not look
right to sell the surplus land after
the Indians have been allotted
without the consent of the Indians.
When the Indian Bureau says
that "the Indians are incompetent
and are not in a position to trans
act business AFFAIRS" and then
works the reimbursement bond
age system upon them, it does not
look right. Not to allow the In

The Indian Service regulations
Isays this and that on the above
matters, but IS 1T LAW that
IIGginSides with the courts of the
sUnited States? If it does. then it
|is law and should be complied with
without any question. But if the
Indian Service regulations do not,
Shen it is not law. The fact that
Indians are wards of the United
States Government may have
some weight, but it does not fol-
low that the Indians can be ruled
without law. 1t appears that in
order to do what is right we must
keep within the law. 4" The H.
dams want to be governed by law
and not by arbitrary regulations.
1t seems they are right IN the
matter. ..4.....
Z We Indians are men, and some
of us have seen four score years
and ten. We are in position to
take care of ourselves and live
under the laws that other races
are governed. In the schools we
are taught that the United States
is democratic, where the people
have voice in their affairs. This
dealing with the Indians by reg
ulations is mockery to the demo.
cratic principle of our government.
We must keep in mind that an
Indian is human being and
should be treated as any other
human being. Who would toler-

Minnesota Chippewas who are

opposite directions during the past
year, failed. r T..... -" -.
The meeting began at Cass Lake,
Tuesday, with Walter F. Dickens,
superintendent of the White Earth
Indian agency, presiding. It had
been intended that the delegates

officers, regardless of what faction
to which they might belong, and
that the matter might be settled
by the ballot. Everything went
