Canneries Diminish Food
Supply of Alaska Indian
Many Kill Dogs Because They
Have Nothing to Feed Them;
Bishop Appeals

Indians in Alaska's interior are being
forced to kill their dogs because Amer
lean canneries have cut SO sharply in
to their food supply that they have
nothing to feed them. Bishop Peter T.
Rowe, Episcopal bisnop Of Alaska, de-
clares. Bishop Rowe is to present the
Indians case to the government.
A closing against commercial fishing
in the great rivers of Alaska, effective
September | of this year, was issued
last December by the bureau Of fisher
les for the protection Of the Indians.
out Bishop Rowe says the canneries
are working to get the order rescinded
and he is making this special trip to
the states to fight a reversal.
"Practically all the Indians Of The
interior. some 10000 or So are facing
very hard winter this year. Bishop
Rowe said. "The cannerlcS at the
mouths of the principal rivers are us
ing I'D the salmon that for generations
have supplied them with food. and
threaten to put an end to this fish iii
Alaska.
"Thc only other hope for food the
Indians have is the moose and caribou
and sections of Alaska are bare OF
them.
"Thc situation The Alaskan Indians
face is very serious. They are not
under the Indian bureau OF the Unlicc
States, are in iittle contact with the
government, and have few to speak
for them"
