American Indian
Studied byCIub
Section Monday

Those members of the Readers
Round Table, Ten Thousand club
section, who attended the meeting
Monday afternoon in the club house,
learned much concerning the his
tory, customs and present status
of the American Indian.
Mrs. L. A. Lewis described some
thing of the history of the race,
their customs, their legends, and
emphasized their living conditions
today, a great deal of her talk
being based on her own personal
knowledge of the various tribes ,as
well as on her study.
The speaker declared that in her
opinion the governments educa-
tional program had been a complete
failure, having fallen short of its
goal to rehabilitate these people
and to make them occupy the place
in society they deserve.
Mrs. Lewis displayed number
of beautiful blankets and other
forms of art work of the the Indians
and gave her audience real under
standing of the problems of the
race and of their contributions to
art and civilization.
Mrs. Stephen B. Her told several
charming Indian stories and leg
ends and reviewed the book Dane
ing Gods" by Erna Ferguson in
which the dances and the native
life are described, with emphasis
on the Navajos.
Both speakers brought out the
fact that books written today about
the Indians are quite different from
the earlier account as much ad-
ditional information has been OBJ
tanned to throw light on the culture
OF this ancient race.

Our beloved friend Will Rogers said
many times We did not come here on
the Mayflo~er. We met the boat" II
only We had few more Ike him we
would not have to stand what we have
to stand for today. With Just a little
helping hand even In cases We have
coming to US through birthright this
class OF people could do more for them
selves without guardian than all of
the Indian Bureau and Federal Gov
eminent is doing for Its wards today.
We are not asking for seven or eight
thousand dollars piece and a guardi-
an thrown in, we are asking to be-
come self supporting on our own pro-
perty. what We have left of it, If any
one wants ID know who these people
are. will gladly give list of the
names I have in mind and they are
good people like the real citizens of
the USA would like to have. Right at
this moment the Indian Bureau mem
bers are living on the Indian profits
like millionaires while the poor class
OF Indians am trying to describe are
living in delapidated tar papered. and
cardboard box homes and still strug-
Cling to live and lang on
But we can have the kind of homes
we are used to having. good clean
homes least with floors and windows
IN and in nearly every case these kind
OF people I talk about will do their
own building without government help
If given chance with the money
which is rightfully coming to them.
I personally know of one family. I say
this because they are close ard I can
take our Indian agent or the Indian
Bureau members or anyone else to
this particular place. This couple are
and have been living in their partly
burned home for over two years with
no help whatever from anyone. Yes
they have some fine children to sup
port. They are doing all this within
stones throw Of our Government
office. What would a helping hand
mean to people like this? I will let
the public answer that one
We are not asking for this help Just
in town. this class of people am try
ing to describe are all over the Reser-
walton owning fine lands with water,
hay timber. and in many instances
have homes that would be remodeled
with very little money and encourage
