What Of the Indian?

such a state, but because he has
found that no effort of bis can free
him of the milestone that rides his
neck, the white mans encroaching
bureaucracy. The Indian of the
nineteenth century, pushed farther
apd farther west, and finally sur
rounded by settlers clamoring for
every inch of the land that was his
by the law of nature, gave up the
great portion of his land on con-
dition that certain fertile sections
be reserved for him. The white
man consented and put his seal on
treaties to that effect. But consent
is one thing, abiding by it is an
other. Whenever rapacious set
tlers-who had voted, remember,
and sert politicians to Congress
beloved loudly enough that they
wanted what good lands the In
dams had left, Congress and the
Indian Bureau got their heads
together to see that the Indian re-
tanned no juicy morsel that the
white man wanted.

Thereupon the Flathead tribe,

Thereupon the Flathead tribe,
which bore such good will to its
oppressors that it refused to aid q
friendly tribe which was being
pursued by Government troops,
was forced out of its turtle reser-
walton, the Bitter Root Valley, in
order to satisfy the rapacity of the
whites. The Nez Perces nation,
under Chief Joseph, was forced
from its valley reser, alton and
confined to the barren, unhealthy
Indian reservation, in violation of
treaty made in good faith with
the Government. The Poncas like.
wise coded the greater part of their
lands to the Government, keeping
only a small section Of good land
for their reservation. But the
Government, to appease The war.
like Sioux by giving them the
Ponca land, violated it's treaty with
the Poncas by removing them
forcibly to Indian Territory, where
one.fifth of them died during the
first year. The Mission Indians
we're run from their land by BEL
ligerent squatters; the Government
yawned and turned its back on the
outrage. The Umatillas we're al.
most shoyed off their reservation;
they were saved only by a new but
powerful public official who knew
little about politics but a great
deal about justice.
Such illustrative glimpses at In.
dian history are necessary for an
understanding of the century old
Indian Bureau policy, as we'll as
for an appreciation of the attitude
of the Indian toward the Govern
ment. y
So far as we can see, the truly
complete solution of the Indian
problem lies in two things;
First-Abolition of the Indian
Bureau after a definite period
twenty years-and the total free
dom OF the Indian after that time.
If the Indian!is to prosper in our
civilization, it must be thru his
own efforts. He must earn his
own salvation. A hopeless de
pendent he is now, and hopeless
dependent he will remain as long
as we hold over him the hand of
despotic paternalism.
Second-A new Indian Bureau
policy which will so train the In
dian that by the date of his free
dom he will be as capable of max
ing his way in American life as
are most immigrants. The main
tenet of such a policy-presup
posing that the policy in general
will be so improved as to be fair
and unselfish-should be the edu
cation of Indian children in schools
where they are mixed with whites
Only by such unconscious and
natural amaleamation can the In
dian be prepared for his proper
entrance into American civiliza-
ton.
Meanwhile we must set off a
period at the end. of which our
laundering Indian Bureau shall
die-for it will be either the death
of the system or the death of the
Indian.
On. the fiftieth birthday of the
Indian Bureau President Lincoln
said: IF l live, this accused
system shall be reformed" In
1924, with The system 100 years
old, we echo: IF the Indian is to
live this accursed system must
die.
