A Hundred Years
Ago in Minnesota,

A century ago, on July 9, 1928,
the expedition led by Major Steph-
ell H. Long left Fort Smelling on
an exploring trip up the valley of
the Minnesota river. Accompying
the party from this point was
Joseph Renvill, the we'll known
trader and interpreter for whom
Renville county is named. They
reached the Traverse des Sioux in
five days and then set out in a
southwesterly direction and reach
the Minnesota river again near
the mouth of the Cottonwood.
Thence they assembled 20 the Red
wood river and on July 20 they
came to Lac qui Parle. From this
point they went to the American
Fur Company's trading post on
Big Stone lake and to Lake Ira
verse where post of the Colum-
bia Fur Company was situated.
On August 5 they were at Penn
bina on the Red river. In canoes
they followed the water route to

Mr.. Widsten states that the gov.

1t is clear to every observer of
the actual situation that the Indian
Bureau will voluntarily relinquish
it's throttle hold on the Indians
only when every dollar of their
money is spent and their property
has been dissipated. When the
Indians have nothing left and
when Congress refuses to appro-
pirate further funds, the Indian
Bureau will decide it is time for
their gigantic organization to 60
out of business, ,-Congressman

mericanized! Not a day passes
but that some public speaker or
writer warns our immigrants to
become Americanized and adopt
our ideals. Yet the government
is ruthlessly preventing the In
dian-the first American of all
from doing that very important
thing. Indians are encouraged to
stay on reservations, to remain
with their tribes and to hold on to
their tribal manners. customs and
traditions.
1T is q cruel and senseless sys.
tenn. The Indian Bureau has no
interest except that of perpetual
ing itself, and maintaining jobs
for its 1000 employees. Instead
of educating the Indian, it en-.
courages him to stick to his war
paint and feathers. Instead of
making doctors, teachers and busi-
ness men, it makes blanket-weav-
ers, basket makers and bead work
ers on the Indian reservations" "
He included the Indian Bureau
of ethnology in this condemnation,
1T has worked actively for forty
years." he said, to prevent the
escape of the Indians from tribal
life to citizenship. 1t revels in
war dances and ghost dances, in
Peynote seances and all the other
Indian peculiarities. 1t encourages
these customs, because they are
the meat ON which ethnology 1.-THE
science of races) lives"
And while on the subject the
General added his opinion of those
sentimental persons who encour-
age the so called renaissance of
Indian art and thus would have
the Indian evolve from nomadic
game hunters to miserable basket
weavers and makers of other
curios, instead of becoming useful
and happy citizens, and this simp.
,ly to crafty their own artistic and
scientific whims and fancies."
The agency system, he declared,
offered numerous opportunities
for graft and aouse, and these
opportunities are not lost. The
agents have charge of the issuance
of government rations to Indians
who are incapable of supporting
themselves. The rations which
the Indians actually receive are
almost always so meager as to
keep them constantly hungry, he
said.
General Pratt said that the gov
ernment treaties with the various
tribes, providing tor the main
tenancc and establishment Of pub
lie schools, have been shamefully
violated. just as other government
promises to them have not been
kept.
General Pratt's criticism of the
Indian Bureau, that division of
the Department of the Interior
which governs the Indians, was
unsurpassing and bitter.

Should AmeriCanjze
The indians.
(By Gen. r. H. Pratt. }


"Americanize him, by giving
him citizenship, close up the res
ervations and force him to live
with white people, and in ten
years the Indian problem will be
solved" says General Pratt, de-
nouncing those who encourage the
renaissance of Indian art. Lo,
the poor Indian. dosen't half ex-
press it. By being driven forcibly
from his ancient home, corralled
on a reservation, robbed of his
rights, and finally reduced to a
state of practical peonage, he is
deliberately kept in state of saw
agery and denied the privileges of
citizenship and the protection of
the courts in the land which orig
inally belonged to him.''
This is what the white brother
has done for the Indian, in the
opinion of Brigadier General Rob-
ert H. Pratt, who for twenty-f five
years was head of the Carlisle In.
dian School, now abandoned, and
who, the Indians themselves say,
knows more about them and their
problems than any other pale face
living today.
1T was crime in the first
place." he said, to segregate them
on reservations, and it is a greater
crime to keep them there, main
tanning them in thoir tribal ignor-
ance and barbarism, encouraging
them in their savage customs and
traditions, and denying them the
rights and opportunities which we
extend to each and every foreigner
who comes to these United States.
The Indian, unlike the negro,
and japanese, is assimilable. There
is no prejudice against him. He
can marry a white woman and
settle down in white community,
meeting white people on the basis
of equality. And, indeed, he
should. for he is the real aristo-
crat of America-the blue blood
of the country. He is good >ma-
terial for citizenship and for in
dustry-far better, in fact, than
many of the European immigrants
which we accept in such large
numbers every year. There are
now more than 1900 Indians liv-
lug in various parts Of our coun-
try practicing medicine and law,
teaching in schools and holding
important positions in the busi-
ness world. We might remark
that there is one in the United
States Senate, and several in the
House of Representatives. All
the Indian wants is as fair a
chance as we give the foreigner
who comes from over the seas.
The OILY way to do this is to
abolish the degrading system now
in use by our government in its
dealings with the Indians and give
the Indian youth \ chance to enter
the public schools, and encourage
them to leave the reservations and
become part of the general popu-
lation Of the country. -. .
