ing of sources of water supply Is
as important as the preservation OF
the lake itself by mgking the lake
and the surrounding lands into o
park.
The gathering of wild rice 10
followed almost exclusively by the
Indians because of the primitive
methods required and the fact that
through generations they have
become so versed in its harvest
and preparation that no white mae
could compete with them. :
Some people have been heard to
claim that the Indians destroy the
wild rice crop and thus diminish
the food for wild game, but that's
not the case. In gathering the
rice with canoes and beating out
the kernels much of the rice is
spilled back into the lake and
reseeds itself. There never has
been more wild rice growing in
Big Rice Lake within the memory
of the oldest Indian than there is
today. ~.
We have prepared some plats
and inclose same with this letter
which will indicate to you the ap,
proximate outlines of the area
which must be included within any
reserve to make the same most
beneficial in preser> ing said lake.
The outlet must be controlled and
the swamp arer for some distance
back from the lake which feeds
the lake with its springs and small
streams must also be controlled. !
One of the maps enclosed indi.
Gates in colors the ownership and
character of the lands which it is
proposed to include within the
boundaries of said Reserve. Il
Lands morked in red are swamp
lands" which have been patented
by the United States to the State
of Minnesota under the Act of
March -, 1860; lands marked in
blue are swamp lands" retained
by the United States for the In
dians; lands marked in black are
swamp lands" which have been
patented by the United States to
Chippewa Indians and by them
sold under the Acts::of Congress of
June 2l, 1905 and March 1, 1907.
Lands shown in white on said
map are high lands pstented by
the United States to Chippewa In
dams and by them sold under said
acts aforesaid.
This territory is almost wholly
uni1habi,ed and to the best of our
information there are not to ex-
eeed one white and FIVE Indian
families who make their homes
within the area proposed to be set
aside for such Reserve. No use
or benefit is now made OF said
I lands or the timber growing there
on except to furnish a handy
source of fuel supply and timber
stumpage for those who wish to
appropriate such to their own use.
Neither the Federal Government
nor the State of Minnesota pre-.
tends to exercise any control or
supervision over the timber on
these swamp lands" ard a large
amount Of pulp wood and ties find
their way to the markets every
winter from this area with mol
compensation for the stumpage.
Please see if you cannot secure
an early decision in the So called
Swamp Land Case" to determine
the ownership of said lands.
The Indians are not particular
whether this Reserve, including |
surrounding drainage basin, be
set aside into a Federal or State |
Reserve or Park, and this matter
might have to await q Z decision in
the said Swamp Land Suit.

Seek to Preserve Big
Rice Lake for Indians,

January "a, 1925.
Hon. j. w. Harreld,
United States Senate,
Washington, D. G..
Dear Sir:
When you were 10 Minnesota
last August as Chairman of the
Senate Committe to investigate
Chippewa matters, it was under.
stood that your committee was
strongly in favor of preserving Big
Rice Lake for the Chippewa In.
dians of Minnesota.
| This lake has an area of approx
imately nineteen hundred acres
and is one vast rice bed. The rice
growing on this lake is gathered
BY the Indians in their canoes in
September of each year and hund
red of families from all parts of
the Indian country are engaged in
this industry. Sufficient wild rice
is gathered to use as food for the
remainder of the year until an
other harvest, and large qualities
are sold by the Indians at an aver,
age price of 20 cents per pound.
Since the depletion of the lakes
for fishing and the ever increasing
scarcity of game in the timber
lands, the rice harvest is the only
important natural resource left to
the Indians.
For some years past Clearwater
county has threatened to drain this
lake and has actually deepened the
outlet of the lake, which would
have resulted in its drainage had
the Indians not obstructed the
outlet by rude dams of brush so
persistenlly that the county has
not pushed its project and has
winked at the efforts of the In
dians. Unless Clearwater county
abandons. its project for the drain
age of said lake or steps are taken
which will prevent such a catas-
trophe, this vast rice field may at
any time be totally destroyed.
Last fall parties who had con
structed a rice harvesting machine
threatened to place the same in
operation upon said lake and the
Indians are of the belief that to
allow the use of such a contrivance
would result in the destruction of
the rice beds. We are Informed
that the Indian Office was ready to
ask for an Injunction to restrain
the use OF such machine and that
it was knowledge of this fact which
alone prevented the gathering of
rice on this lake by machinery in
the fall of 1924.
The Indians gather this rice
from their canoes by bending the
stocks over the side of the canoe
and beating out the kernels with a
short stick. When the canoe is
tweIl loaded it is taken ashore, the
rice turned over to those who
parch 1T 20 remove the hulls, and
after this process and winnowing,
it is ready for use as food in the
raw state.
The lands surrounding said lake
are a great floating bog for a dis
t,nce of from one fourth to one
half mile and in some places for
several miles the adjacent lands
are great swamps covered with
brush, tamarac and spruce. In
In order to preserve the water
level of said lake two things would
be necessary, first, the control of
the outlet by small dam so as to
maintain q sufficient level of water
during the rice growing season
and enough water for the use of
canoes in gathering said crop, and
second, that sufficient acreage of
the swamp lands forming the
drainage basin of said lake be
made q part of any reserve includ-

company will re-broadcast to Great
Britain and the continent, and Ger
man stations also will aid in re-
broadcasting.
Other Numbers
Other numbers announced for the
