RESOLUTION RELATIVE. TO THE CARE OF THE ALASKA
 NATIVE INSANE

NATIVE INSANE
 The United States Government is ct present sending the insane Alaskan Natives to Morningside, Oregon, f"r from their homes, mak- ing it generally impossible for the relatives of these unfortunate in- gre to visit them. These insane are also deprived of their customary foods and arc placed in the midst of people speaking strange lang uage and for them. in an unfavor- able climate We hold that the most elementary sense of justice and humanity would compel the res ponsiblc authorities to provide place in Alaska where the wrongs above mentioned would not exist since these unfortunates would be near their homes with their accus- toned climate and food and amidst friends of both race and language. THEREFORE BE TT RESOLVED that it is the consensus of the opinion of the delegates to the ALASKA NATIVE BROTHER HOOD and SISTERHOOD, meeting in annual convention at Hydaburg, Alaska, that the proper authorities provide a place for the insane Alaska Natives in Alaska.
 BE TT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Hon. Dan Sutherland. delegate from Alaska to the United States Congress, with the, urgent request that he lay these matters before the proper authorities to the end that the intent of this resolution be carried out.
