which is only a dim line against
the sky. Somewhere on the north
shore of this immense lake stood,
almost a hundred years ago,
"Belanger's post" the home of a
picturesque French trader.
Belanger came into the Indian
country shortly after the close of
the Revolutionary War to trade
probably at first for the Northwest
Company. Later he had charge
of the American Fur Company's
post at Lake Winnebagoshish. A
description Of the post is preserved
in the jourGal of Lieutenant James
Allen, who accompanied School,

Belanger's dwelling and store
we're sitnated four or five hundred
yards from the lake, on a little
rise of ground where he had also a
fine garden in which were grow
ing beautiful vines, potatoes and
other vegetables and among them
tobacco, which was particularly
remarkable, this being the most
northern post of all the Mississip.

cows.
Where is the exact site of the
American Fur Company's post at

of early travellers are indefinite.
Records preserved by the Minne-

that it was on the north side of
the lake at the mouth of small
stream-probably the Pigeon Riv-

the east side of the stream.

The WARRIORS FAREWELL.

BY Geo. B. Selkirk (Hak-hak- to- wan)
Would that could speak with
the tongue of my more enlightened
white brother. / would tell you of
my ancestors and my people, the
story oft repeated by sympathizers
of my people. But like an animal,
l am not gifted with fluent speech
so | will tell you in my simple way
a story that you will not soon
forget.
Years ago, where you now ride
in beautiful automobiles on paved
and ribbon like roads, my father
traversed astride a mustang pony,
sometimes using a blanket and a
saddle-like tree, but more otttimes
on the pony's bare back, and fol-
lowing behind, my mother sat in a
travois drawn by another mustang
pony. Here and there they wand
cred, stopping where game and fish
we're plentiful aud water conveni-
ent. After the lowly wigwam or
tepee was securaly pitched, my
father took up his bow and arrows
and rude hunting knife and went
in quest for the meat of bear or
deer or buffalo or the timid rabbit,
while mother busted herself with
the gathering of the wood, carry
ing of water, and the preparation
Of the simple meal. During the
summer season she attended to the
little patch of corn which was to
provide food for the winter and
during the long winter evenings
she fashioned wearing apparel for
all the family from the skins and
furs of the animals that father

Knutson and the Indian
Bureau Endeavoring to
Use Per Capita Payment
As Campaign Material.
II ChippeWas Endorse Bills introduced by
Representative Knutson They VIII
Lose Many Millions Of Dollars.

If the bills introduced by Rep
resentative Knutson. of which an
analyst was given in the last issue
of The Tomahaks, are enacted into
law the Chippewas will be the
losers by several millions of dol
lars. All of the bills should be
amended or killed altogether. If
the Department is willing that the
appropriations named in all of the
bills except the Red Lake per
capita bill should be made and the
payments applied on account the
Chippewas would have no objec-
tions, but the Chippewa people
will never accept the amounts
named as payment in full. When
the General Council commenced to
function the Department took the
position that there had been no
violations of the agreements with
the Chippewas and that the Gov.
ernment owed the Indians nothing;
that the administration of their es-
tate had been right and proper.
AS a result of the work of tee
General Council the Indian Bureau
now comedies that the Government
owes the Chippewas approximately
four million dollars, which does
not include the value of the swamp
lands. As matter of fact and law
the Government owes the Chippe
wa Indians somewhere between
fifteen and thirty million dollars,
and the Indians will accept nothing
short of complete settlement. To
prevent such a complete settlement
the Indian Bureau is opposed to
the Chippewas being permitted to
go to the Court of Claims and there
obtain final judgment, hoping,
thereby to liquidate an indebted
ness to the Chippewas of fifteen
to thirty million dollars by the
payment of some four million dol.
lars. Representative Knutson is
supporting the position taken by
the Indian Bureau and has intro
duced the bill designed to accom-
plish this purpose.
The per capita payment PROPOSE
tion now seems to have taken a
political angle ana delay in the
passage of the bill seems evident,
it may be the middle Of February
or the first of March before it is
made. 1t is now evident that both
Representative Kuutson and the
Indian Bureau are endeavoring to
use this matter for political pur-
poses. Last winter when there
was no campaign on the Bureau
vigorously opposed any per capita
payment. Next spring when q
campaign will be on it is in favor
of a per capita payment, and as
Representative Kuutson has intro
duced the bill for the Bureau it
desires to give him credit, and by
delaying it as long as possible aid
him in his campaign in the early
spring. All this will avail neither

nothing in the eyes of the Chip
pewa people, as there has been no
change in the conduct of their
affairs or condition, the Chippewas
needed payment last winter just
as bad as they need one this winter.

My father taught me the secrets
Of the chase and the rules and
ethics of self defense. The lessons
he taught me were simple but they
were given with a sincere grace of
spirit and I absorbed them know
ing that this would be the extent
of my education. The balance !
was to secure from the great school
of experience. Upon nearing man
hood l was allowed to accompany
him on his hunting expeditions and
it was not long before l went on
long hunting journeys alone. The
spirit of self preservation was
securing a tight grip on my
shoulder and l was just about to
start out in life for myself when
came the white man.
The white man being smarter
than l and better armed soon
forced me to give him my favorite
hunting grounds and lakes and
rivers. He gave me rum and
whiskey for my self respect. He
made me promises that he did not

er's art, he gave me provisions of
salt pork, bacon, -four, tea and
black coffee. After a while he saw
that the land he had set aside for
me was valuable and he used~>tn
scrupulous means to dispossess me.
Ethics of clean society forced him
to repay me and he took me off the
war path and sent me to school
and gave me some education, that
[ might be better able to negotiate
with him for The balance of my
property. Finally he gave me
citizenship that I might become
amerabie to the various laws and
courts. And now to, further de.
prive me of the rights and bless
ings of the Constitution of the
United States, be put me through
process of law and placed a
guardian over me and l became a
