that so per cent of the Flatheads

Mcdonald continued the dis.
cussion with an attack on the

A congressional committee Wis.
tied the Flatheads and said each
member is worth $4,000 and the
tribe is worth over $4,000, 900
Mcdonald said.
Committee members attempted
to use this as a lever against the

if tribe members signed a peti.

members.

Local Interest Runs High Concerning
Abandonment of Federal Trusteeship:
Here's Complete Story Of Latest Meeting

invited but was unable to attend.
Tickinger opened the forum
discussion with an outline of the
history of the situation under dis
cussiOn. He explained that for
years the federal government as
sumed the position that it served
as trustee over Indian property.
Philosophy of government work
with the Indian has been to fit
the Indian so he may be adopted
into the major society of the ma
ton, Fickinger said.
jefferson set the pattern to zen
courage the Indian to abandon
hunting in favor of employment
as a farmer or in industry and
let him intermix and the nation
become one people," the area di-
rector said. How well this has
been done is 4 matter of argu-
ment," he said.
Fickinger said the day is COM
ing when the Indian will attain
the position where the govern
mont can relinquish its supervi-
Sin1.
In 1947 congressional commit
tees requested the acting COM
missioner of Indian Affairs to
submit a list of tribes ready at
that time for freeing from con-
troll and of those needing more
time, Fickinger continued.
Among the tribes considered
ready for freeing were the Flat
head Reservation tribes. A pro-
gram was drafted for this pro-
ject and sent to the Flatheads for
discussion, he said.
Provision of the draft is estab-
fishing of a final roll of tribes,
transfer of title from the United
States to tribe members and TO
the tribe in the case of tribal
land, free of restriction. Tribes
could incorporate under state law
for management of tribal land if
they so desire or they could ask
that the land be disposed of and
the money be turned over to the
tribe, Fickingcr said.
Fickinger pointed to safeguards
contained il the proposal which
provide for caring of those in
need of supervision in the same
way as any other individual is
cared for under trusteeship.
Indians then would hold the
