 January 12, 1850 Hon. Oscar L. Chapman,
 Secretary of he Interior,
 Washington, D. c.
 Since writing you on December 3, 1949. on the subject of Alaska native reservations, I have con- cluded that the subject is of such a high order of imporance that it requires a more detailed and, if possible. more emphatic statement of the issues involved and of their importance to you. the Department of the Interior, the residents of Alaska, both native and white, the Territory and the future state
 Federal land administration in Alaska has always been a dreadful hodgepodge, without continuity in plnning and seemingly too often without purpose. Little has been done to put the land to work under private ownership in the tradi- tional American pattern. the result being that in 1850 the federal government still owns 99 percent of the land area of the Territory.
 One can be an ardent believer in proper conservation, as I am, and yet discover grave errors in such predominant federal owner ship. Worse, the federal govern ment has withdrawn for its ex- elusive use almost one-third of Alaska's vast area of S5.000,000 acres. Withdrawals urged by various bureaus of various depart ments have been on the grand scale and seldom has any request for such a withdrawal been object lively examined. much less denied. I regret to report that this ten dency in all fields seems to fn- crease raher than to diminish
 So far as I recall, the principle of establishing reservations for the native people of Alaska had its in- ception while Herbert Hoover was President. Without referring to the record. it is my recollection that he established one or two such reservations. Frankly, how ever, it was not until Harold l.. Ickes became Secretary of the In- terior that opposition started to crystalline in Alaska against the general land policies eff such they may be designated) of the Depart ment. This was for a variety of reasons Not the least among them was MT Ickes' refusal over a long period of years to exercise the right which was his under law to waive shore space restrictions with reference of homestead applications.
 On May 20, 1943, over 100000 acres of land in the Artic were withdrawn for the exclusive use of the natives inhabiting the area. The Office of Indian Affairs said there were AT families in the re- zion, although the latest available census figures indicate a lesser number. After entering upon my duties as Delegate in Congress, wrote then SecHetray fckes on April 19, 1945, urging reevalua- tion of the need for the reserva- ton because I believed then as believe now that the rights of the native people could better be pro tected by other means. For your information copy of my letter is attached.
 When and if the definitive his tory of this controversy is written. or can be written, it will probably reveal that a concerted effort 70 place Alaska natives under a reservation system began in the summer of 1914. That was the period during which Judge Hanna
