Why Wait $50 Years?
Duluth News Tribune)

Speaking before an Evanston
audience Sunday, a Blackfoot In
dian chief made the prediction
that in $50 years there will not
be a full blooded North American
Indian in the country" and that
his race would gradually become
so intermingled with the white
races that it would cease to exist.
Maybe that is so, but that is too
long to wait for the abolishment
of tho Indian Bureau. -.-
This bureau still has several
thousand employees devoting their
time and energy to the task of
keeping the Indian from becom-
ing an American citizen. If there
we're only one thousand Indians
left, it is doubtful if this bureau
would voluntarily relinquish any
of its powers or its personnel.
Uncle Sam can't afford to con
tinue to spend millions of dollars a
year for the next $50 years to
keep the Indian from assuming
the responsibilities and privileges
of full citizenship. The time to
do it is now. If it we're done now,
the indian would cease to exist, as
an Indian, within 10 years instead
of $50. He would live like the
white man, and be treated like a
white man, and be regarded as a
white man and a self-respecting
citizen of the republic.

JEAN BAPTISTE PERRAULT

JEAN BAPTISTE PERRAULT
In 1888 Jean Baptiste Perrault,
a we'll educated young French.
Canadian of good family, left his
home near Quebec with a party OF
voyageurs for the Illinois country.
This was the beginning of his long
career as a fur trader-a career
which gave him remarkable
familiarity with the region of the
upper Mississippi.
Perrault's first journey into what
is now Minnesota was made il
1874. With party under Alex.
ander Kay he passed over a route
later much used by traders-the
St. Louis and Savanna rivers,
Sandy Lake, and the Mississippi
to its junction with Pine River.
Before his return to Mackinac in
the spring of 1885, he visited
many of the lakes and streams of
the upper Mississippi district,
making lone keg of rum into two"
by diluting the liquor and then
trading it for the Indians precious
packs of furs.
The following winter Perrault
spent on the Chippewa River in
Wisconsin; the next on the Crow
in Minnesota. In the spring of
1887 at Prairie du Chen be wit.
messed the ceremony of the Sav
ages in their treaty of''peace." He
again entered the Minnesota coun-
try in February, 1889, when he
iourneyed up the Mississippi to
''le grand rapids" Here he gath
cred valuable packs of furs as

trading" he remarks. Three
winters, from 1889 to 1892, were
spent profitably in the district be
tween Leech Lake and Pokegama
Falls.
In 1893 Perrault was engaged
oy the Northwest Company to
winter at fond du Lac with ten
men in order to build there a fort
which would be a depot for the
fond du Lac region" Near the
mouth of the St. Louis River,
within the present limits of the
city of Superior, Wisconsin, he
built the fort which remained a
center of fur trade activity in the
Northwest until 1915. Going out
from this post he traded in various
parts of what is now Minnesota,
from Lake Pepin to Red Lake,
until 1899. A remarkable feature
of his travels in this vast wilder
ness is the fact that he never seems
to have lacked companions of his
own race. In this supposedly un-
inhabited region, Perrault was
constantly meeting and visiting
with other courageous trail blazers.
brought there, like himself, by
the lure of the fur trade.
At the request of Henry R..
Schoolcraft, about 1880, Perrault
wrote his Narrative of Travels
and adventures of q merchant
Voyageur"-a fascinating record
of his experiences as a fur trader
in the West. a. a. This interesting
chronicle is published in transla
tion in volume 81 of the Michigan
Pioneer and Historical Collec.
