5000 IN okiahon, Receive Reward for
servlce Of Race Ia War. +

In recognition of the Indians
war services more than 5000 In
dian wards of the government l'v-
ing in Oklahoma are released from
all government restrictions to take
their places as independent citizens
under an order issued recently by
Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Cato Sells.
The order provides that all
members of the so called Five
Civilized Tribes of : Indians more
than 21 years of age and not
mentally deficient shall be removed
from all supervision by the FED
eral government and that their
possessions held by the govern
ment shall be delivered to them.
The order affects the Cherokees,
Creeks, Seminoles, Choctaws and
Chickasaws, representing com.
bined population of about 100000
Indians. Many of them have al
ready won complete citizenship
and more than 5000 are directly
affected by the order, Mr.. Sells
says.-Ex.
We have always advocated >citi-
zanship for all Indians in the Unit
ed States, more so, since the
beginning and duration of the war.
We know that every tribe of In
dians in the United States was
represented in the world war, and
we hope that Mr.. Sells will deal
with all such Indians the same as
he proposes to do with the Indians
of the Five Civilized Tribes.
The Chippewa Indians of the
State of Minnesota have always
been regarded on a par with the
most civilized and progressive In
dians of the United States, and
they are rightfully entitled to the
same blessings OF citizenery as is
proposed to give the Oklahoma
Indians. Mr.. Sells cannot now
afford to hold in bondage over
1900 Indians of the State Of Min
nesota, who are not citizens, ne
should insist that they too must
become citizens, receive their al
lotments of land and be removed
from further minute government
supervision. He should further
insist that all the $4,000 Indians
of the State of Minnesota receive
the same consideration as IS pro
posed to give the Oklahoma In
dians, namely; full and complete
settlement with regard to their
possessions.

alton and democratic liberality
manifested by several of the State
Fair Board as also by Governor j.
A. A. Burnquist, in the matter of
employing returned Chippewa SOL
der boys in the State Fair service,
is worthy of far more than passing
comment. 1t is another striking
example that the Minnesota Chip
pewa's patient efforts toward pro.
qressive civilization; their persis-
tent strife to shake off the depress-
ing restricted existence as wards
of the Government; their stable
utility as law abiding citizens, and
last but not least their spontaneous
loyal response to the country's call
for men and money, voluntarily
on their part, has found a warm
response of appreciation in the
Nations heart and gratitude.
We venture the prediction that
if some of our White Earth boys
should find employment in the
State Fair service that they will
acquit.themselves with the samo
commendable credit which marked
their distinguished valor and brav-
cry in the terrific onslaught of the
Meuse-Argonne- Bois de Fays and
other like sanguinary offensives
and when the Central powers of
Europe were striving for world
dominance against the allied forces
of humanity and world democracy.

Bill L. Unjust to Q. In! Indians al
Is I Charge. !.
Apache Leader Attacks "Rld9" ProvId-
Ing For Mining Land Leases, Says
Appropriation will Never Reach Red
Wtus '.." -.

Chicago, Ill lhe latest 1n-
dian appropriation bill just passed
by Congress calling for SIS, ,0O0.-,
900, is but one more injustice TO
the American Indians" declared
DR.. Carlos Montezbma, full
blooded Apache, leader of the
Society of American Indians, to
a representative of the Christian.
Science Monitor. ''The injustice
OF this bill lies in the rider At
tached, which authorizes the Soc
retary of the Interior to lease for
mining purposes 30,000,00o acres
of Indian lands. -
"This bill was passed without
the consent of the Indians" said
DR.. Montezuma, and without the
knowledge of the Indian Bureau,
which is the Indians avowed
guardian. Was the Indian Bureau
on the watch? Well. had they
been, this bill would not haze
passed Congress so quickly.
''As for the $15, 900, 900 So
called reimbursement appropria-
ton, the Indians have little hope
of seeing any of it. Last winter
an emergency bill was put through
Congress for $25, 900 to feed and
clothe starving Indians. Less
than SO of this actually reached
the starving Indians. This is
typical, and this latest one will 20
the same way.
''What the government should
do is to let the Indians become
citizens and take care of them
selves. The Indian has no voice.
He automatically mods YES" as
he has been taught to do for the
past so years by the government.
The Indian, confined in reserva.
tions which are little more than
prison camps, is shut off from
contact with modern progress and
civilization, and is being ruined
by idleness and having everything
done for him, without his consent,
by the government.
I'm the past two years the In
dian has kept silent about his
wrongs; because of bis patriotism
he did not want to make trouble
for this country while it was
fighting injustice in Europe.
'Stealing from the Indian is
just as great today as ever. The
people of the United States would
not permit it to g. on if they
knew, but the press does not give
them the facts. Now that its
agitation would no longer hinder
the country at war, the Society of
American Indians is going to do
everything it can to bring before
the American people these wrongs
81 that they may be corrected.
The Indian should be made .
citizen, 80 that he may lease his
own lands If he wants to, and not
have everything done for him.

the American Indian Magazine
and publishes . monthly paper of
his own called Wassaja, his Indian
name, meaning Signal Christian

lection from a government; op,
posed to alien"
The Indian occupies a peculiar,
an anomalous position, politically
he is an alien, geographically he
is not. From what we know of
him ne has lived from time out of
mind in this country, (here we have
in mind only the North American
Indian), therefore locally he has
no other country. 1t all amounts
to this, that through military and
economic conquest the Caucasian
has reduced him to the status of
subject, so that in that part of the
globe which according to bis tradi-
tion was given to him by the
creator of the universe, he lives
here only ~ tolerance. Subjec-
tion may have had its excuse in
the middle ages and near past
periods, though this we won't ad
init, under the doctrine of the
eternity of liberty, but granting
for the sake of argument that the
ethics of past ages were suited to
their times, all this has disappear
ed under the spirit of modern
days. Under an irresistible law
of evolution more and more is
perceived the equality of man
politically, and the right of eco
nomic freedom. .
By worldwide thought this has
been emphasized in the words
'self-determination,' a situation
which is part of President Will
sons fourteen points and which is
ideal, and yet in practically has
been accepted the world over and
made the basis of real democracy.
And yet, this country committed
as it is to democracy and the prin.
ciple of self determination, has
failed to be consistent:
Unlike some European people
who are striving for absolute
autonomy on geographic and
ethnic lines, the North American
Indians cry is for inclusion in the
mass polite, in other words he
asks for American citizenship, for
protection by the country of his
individual rights, and those prop
erty rights belonging to him as >
member of 4 tribe while yet the
tribe was under paternalistic care.
He asks US for the right to appear
in court on his own initiative, with.
out waiting for special jurisdic'
tional acts by Congress.
The Mile Lac case is in point,
he obtained justice here by special
permission of Congress but it took
him years to get this permission
to 90 before the Court of Claims,
and the ''vexed delays of law"
created extra cost in the securing
of judgement. The Chippewas
viewed as a corporation might
have Jared better than they finally
did. -,. ~.a ..- e. ,..-
And then the Indian soldier felt
that he had q right to exclaim if

many did), 1T is sweet to lie for

ism because they live in the United
States and know no other country.
They felt a patriotism torn from

This country took pride in the
valor and responsiveness of its
wards" but how pitiful that it
could not say, Oh, my sons. my
sons.
