SUBSCRIPTIONS: $3.50 PER YEAR IL ADVANCE
''Re|ief'' --$443,|25.00.

The total sum appropriated from
Chippewa tribal funds, at the in
stigation of the Indian Bureau,
for ''Relief aud Civilization of the
Minnesota Chippewa Indians"
for the. fiscal year ending June
Goth, 1921, was 1913, 1850, more
or less, and in addition to this
prodigal sum there was another
huge appropriation of $3.50, 900 90

Congress, for fulfilling treaties.
and for other purposes,' and
among other stipulations it is pro-
vided that portion of this vast
sum be expended for relief OF
destitute Indians, prevention OF
trachoma, tuberculosis, and other
contagious and infectious diseases,
ETC., and including physician, hos
pital and nurses services. And
the sum total appropriated for the
purposes above enumerated, a
mounts to the enormous figures OF
S443. $4,000. Notwithstanding
this fabulous sum, specially appro-
priated for the ''relief of destitute
and needy Indians, for the treat
ment of trachoma, tuberculosis
and other diseases;;'' the Indian
Bureau, presumably through the
advice of Mr.. E. B. Merritt, Assist
ant Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, who made a flying visit
here last spring, closed the agency
hospital and dispensed with the
physician and nurses service and
also closed the old peoples home,
and turned out number of old,
blind, sick and helpless people to
shift for themselves as best they
could. And, at the present time,
trachoma, tuberculosis, and other
contagious and infectious diseases
are alarmingly on the increase.
1t is to be hoped that with the
converting of Congress this winter
this matter will be taken up and
the officials of the Indian Bureau
be compelled to use some of the
vast sum appropriated for "reliei"
of needy and destitute Indians, on
this reservation, which is the only
reservation with the exception of
the Fond du Lac reservation where
such institutions have been closed
by the Indian Bureau, aid this
Notwithstanding the fact that two
thirds of the members of the Min
nesota Chippewas reside on White
Earth reservation, nevertheless
because the members of this reser-
walton are more progressive and
have abandoned tribal customs
these benefits were taken away
from them, regardless of the fact
that it is their money which is be-
ing used to furnish other members
of the tribe at Red Lake, who
are still maintaining tribal rela-
tions, with these same benefits.
We are the opinion that the
officials of the Indian Bureau took
occasion to close the old folks
home and hospital here owing to
their ill-feeling against the mem
bers O: White Earth reservation

we know first, that he IS only. a
common vagabond, has no stand

resolutions, here following, in the
hope that our readers and all men,
bers of the Chippewa tribe who
have occasion to read this article,
will protest vigorously to members
of Congress against any attempt

sums of money from the Chippewa

Following are the resolutions
referred to:
TO Hon. Homer P. Snyder,
Chairman, Committee on
Indian Affairs,
House of Representatives.
Resolutions Adopted.
Council held at Chief Wah yay-

Township 143, Range 40, County
of Mahnomen, State Of Minnesota
on the 3rd day of December, A.

Resolution No. |.
Whereas, there will he before
the coming session of the 66th Con-
gress of the United States proposed
appropriations for the Chippewa
Indians of Minnesota; and, whereas
this assembly hasrreasens tt'justify'
their belief that a demand for ad-
ditlonal appropriations should be-
urged by submitting the following
that impels US to a final conclusion
for said demand:
First. Hundreds of Chippewa
Indian children are now being de-
prived of school privileges owing
to the extreme want of sufficient
food and warm clothing. The Dis
trict School houses if any have
been built large enough to main
tain only the:.white children of the
tax payers in a township.
Second. Sickness and death is
alarmingIy prevalent, trachoma.
tuberculosis and other pestilence is
raging throughout the Chippewa
country.
Third. Starvation and other
casualties incident to the aged and
helpless have occurred in the
Chippewa country.
Fourth. 1t is within the dis
erection and power of Congress to
remedy the conditions now existing
in the Chippewa country.
Therefore, Be it resolved, By
this conference of the Chippewa
Indians of Minnesota residing up
on the White Earth Reservation,
in council assembled, that sremedi-
cal legislation be, and is hereby
endorsed for their relief and c;vili-
zation as provided by an Act of
Congress approved January 14th,
1889. i
Resolution No. 9.
Whereas, there is now before
the seth Congress of the United
States H. r. 1913, a proposed
legislation for the preparation of
additional rolls, allotments of land,
disposition of lands and funds of
the Chippewa Indians of Minneso=
ia and for other purposes, and,
whereas this conference has given
careful consideration to the pro-
visions and purposes of said act,
and have concluded that it is for
the best interest of the Chippewas
of Minnesota to send a special del:
