ABORIGINAL RIGHTS

Representatives of the Indian Bureau recently made quiet trip to Alaska and contacted sev- eral Indian villages, apparently for the purpose of getting the Indians to petition the Secretary of the Interior for a hearing with respect to the validity of their claims to aboriginal fish ing rights. What does this mean? Is the Bureau of Indian Affairs proposing to take away the com mon rights of American citizens, even though they may be born residents of Alaska; to prevent them to make a living fishing as they have done all of their mature lives?
 Acting under authority Of an act of Congress of June 18, 1884 Gas amended June 25, l935j known as the Wheeler Howard Act, the existing laws with re- spect to Indian Reservations were amended, permitting the Secretary of Interior to establish without act of Congress these reservations, subject to certain limitations; one such reserva- tion just established on Kodiak Island includes many miles of ocean bottom to a distance of 5000 feet from the shoreline. This area has been a seining ground for commercial fishermen (both native and white) for great many years. Today these commercial fishermen are eX- cluded, with the exception of members of the native village,

which forms the nucelus of the reservation. This theory of re- storing to the Indian Bureau as guardians in perpetuity for the Indians runs counter to the whole trend of modern thinking in regard to the proper status of Indians, which is that they should in every respect become members of our common society, no different in any respect than other American Citizens, rather than be set apart as wards of the Government with special privi- leges and special disabilities. What is to stop these people from taking all of the best fish ing grounds in Alaska, depriVing thousands of trollers, gill net ters, seiners and others from making their living in Alaska as they have done for so many years? What about the estab- lished business communities of Ketchikan, Cordova, Anchorage, etc. During normal times these communities depend on a stabi- lized fishery. Isn't that enough to cause them to sit up and take notice of these hearings? What if this same group of people take over such natural resources as mineral, oil, trapping and tim Der?
 MT. Ickes can and must stop this nonsense. We still have a war to win and this no time to endanger production and the living of so many thousands of resident Alaska people"

The Star again has arranged with
this nationally known authority for

such subjects as:

those which might shift.
Shiftable voters within the shift
able States.
Importance of the nonvoter.
Types Of voters.
What is back of the attitude to-
