How to Civi|ize
The Indians.
(By Gen. r. H. Pratt.)


When l began studying the In
dian problem twenty years ago il
seemed clear to me that if could
demonstrate to the Indian workers
and management East and West,
and to the people of the United
States, especially the Christian
people and educators, that by
placing them in contact with our
people it is easy to give young In.
dians the English language, the
education, and the industrial train
ing and refinement which will
make them competent and accept
able in civilized life, all these
forces and influences would gladly
work to this end, and a speedy
civilization and absorption of the
Indian race would result. My
experiences, however, have dem
onstrated that the influences I
counted on as helpers will not give
up their holdings nor change their
methods easily.
Early in the work l was forced
to realize that any scheme to end
tribal conditions and push the In
dian out into association and self
support among our own people
would be strongly antagonized,
not by the Indians so much as by
many who held government and
church places in and over the
tribes.
F. The missionary who viii work
and plan to get Indians out Of
tribal life into the national life is
a rare find. My experience of
more than thirty-two years has
brought me in contact with one,
and the unceasing appeal of every
missionary and missionary infiu-
ence to my young people is for
their return to their people and
their tribe. Largely the govern
ment influences controlling the
tribes are thus forced and directed
this way, and in many instances,
where the Indians themselves show
a desire to move out and seek for
better things beyond tribe, they
are overpersuaded and even forci-
bly, controlled against doing so,
and all the children are limited to
home education, which is a mis-
fortune because it tends to tribal
ism.
No wrong is in any way COM
mitted by enlarging the opportun.
tiles of Indian youth. The wrong
is in the limitations and hind-ances
and false training forced upon

SUBSCRIPTION: s,.5o PER YEAR II ADVANCE
Chippewas Receive
S|,4O0,OO0 for Chip
pewa Forest Reserve.

Authorization for the transfer
of 81, 400, 1875. So from the general
fund of the United States Treas
ury to the. tribal fund of the
Minnesota Chippewas. has been
made, according to information
from the Interior department.
This amount will 60 into the
general fund of the Chippewa In
dians now on deposit in the United
States Treasury and will draw 5
per cent interest from the date of
transfer ON the books of the
Treasury. The money represents
the amount paid by the govern
ment for an approximate area of
$4,000 acres of land and timber
contained in the Minnesota Ma
tional Forest Reserve, which was
the property of the Minnesota
Chippewas, and for which they
had never received compensation.
The transfer of title was author
lied by the Act of Congress of
May %, 1908, under which a COM
mission was created to appraise
the value of the timber and ascer.
tain the acreage. Fifteen years
elapsed before this Act was carried
into effect. the commission was
not appointed until this spring and
their report was approved in April
of this year.
After the formal arrangement
for the transfer of the funds, there
was some question as to the right
of the Treasury Department to
take the amount of the award
from the general fund in the
Treasury and transfer it to the
credit of the Chippewa Indians,
unless specifically appropriated by
an Act of Congress, but a ruling
by the controller general author
lied the transfer to tie credit of
the Indians.
The Minnesota Chippewas lost
a vast sum of money by the ap-
proval of this commissions report,
for it is held on good authority that
the sum awarded the Indians and
placed to their credit is less than
half of the actual value of the
property involved. The paying
of this money into the tribal fund
will be of little if any benefit to
the Indians. as it will be used, as
the funds have been, and are be-
ing used, for administrative pur-
poses among said Indians, and
which is unnecessary and of no
benefit whatever to the Indian
people and only serves to furnish
employment to horde of useless
employees in the Indian service,
and without whom the Chippewas
would be a great. deal better off.
