Says Chippewas Cannot
Obtain Settlement In
dependent of Interior
Department.
Indian Bureau Growing Stronger all the
Time.

Fred w. Peake, writing IN the
Minnesota Daily Star. in a recent
issue, had the following to say re-
garding the situation among the
Minnesota Chippewas. We quote
Mr.. Peake's article in the Star
without comment, further than to
express our pleasure in the fact
that, judging from Mr.. Peake's
article, he has at last seen the light
in the Chippewa controversy and
is evidently now pulling in the
right direction. His article the
Star follows:
Editor, the Star:-Minnesota
Chippewa situation will be the
big issue by all leaders of the
Chippewa nation from now until
something is done.
The representatives of the
Minnesota Chippewa nation were
assembled in grand council at Cass
Lake, MINI on the ninth of last
month, when Congressman Wefald
appeared before the convention
and made an address advising the
Chippewa people that the only
way to obtain their rights was
through Congress and that the
plan of the Chippewa leaders to
have a settlement independent of
the Interior Department was use.
less for the Indian department is
growing stronger all the time.
II wish to Inform those friends
of the Chippewa nation that wish
to help the Chippewa people that
the statement of Congressman
Wefald is correct to my best
knowledge and belief.
There is congressional inves-
tigation now on. The purpose of
the investigation is to determine
how much is due the Minnesota
Chippewa nation by reason of the
treaty of January IA, 1889. At.
torney Webster Ballinger, James
l. Coffey and other friends of the
Minnesota Chippewa people have
spent their time and mauy thous
ands of dollars to bring about this
investigation. With the hard
work of many congressman CO.
operating with these men, the in
vestigation is now on, Many
frauds that have been imposed up,
on the Minnesota Chippewas since
the treaty of 1889 will be exposed
and after the investigation is over
there is no doubt the investigating
committee can make q report that
will enable the attorneys for the
Chippewas to form a basis of
claims to work on to recover some
where near what might be due the
Minnesota Chippewas.
but it must be remembered ,
that all claims recovered will be A,
placed in the hands of the Interior
Department to tie credit of the
Chippewa people because the law
does so provide.
II am determined to have the 1
Chippewa people know their status :

1t is a good thing this investiga
tion is going on. l appreciate it
and | want to say Congressman
Wefala has done very good work
and has protected the Chippewas
and has exposed many of the
frauds. But Mr.. Wefald must

venes in order to bring prosperity
to the Chippewa country by 1925,
or before next year. 1t must pay
all competent Chippewa people
their share in a lump sum of all
tangible property that is now in
the hands of the Interior Depart
ment. and have the law provide
that the future equities of such
Indian is not effected. The great
majority of Chippewas are united
in one organization with James l
Cotfey president, and Mr., Wefald
promised to present the wishes of
the same to Congress.
The Supreme Court decision in
the case of Lone Wolf against the
Secretary of the Interior (Jan. 5,
l9O3-1S7, U. S. 553) fixed the
status of the Indian in relation to
the Indian Department, just as the
bred Scott decision placed the
colored people in the hands of the
STAKEHOLDER. That is about the
situation of the Chippewa people
