trust lands are made only with
the approval of the Indian own.
ers. Where tribal range land is
being permitted. it is our policy
to allow Indian owners with less
than $50 head of cattle. or the
equivalent of sheep. to have an
ALLEGATION of range at the ap.
praised price without compcti.
tive bidding il the tribal council
wants this preference granted. A
larger Indian cattle owner has
to compete in the bidding Of
lease tribal land. but if non.
Indian offers to pay more to the
tribe than he has. he may be
given the privilege of meeting
the higher bid. again with the
approval of the tribe.
Fifth. :" fee patents. :" We
do not believe that a man who
has demonstrated his competen.
cy and seeks control of his prop.
erty should be denied that basic
American right merely because
he happens to be an Indian.
Before fee patent is issued, a
thorough and contentious ex.
animation of the applicants
background is made to be sure
there is no real doubt about his
competency to manage his own
personal business affairs. If he
plans to sell or lease the land
the Indian Bureau will counsel
with him in any way that seems
necessary to protect his best in.
terests. II also provides him
with an up.to.datc appraisal of
his land. While We recognize the
competent Indians undeniablc
right to ask for and receive a fee
patent. We also keep in mind our
continuing trust responsibilities
10 the tribal group and to other
Indian landowners whose hold.
ings may be affected. If there
is any real possibility that the dis
posal of particular allotment
might have a bad effect on other
Indian land in trust. the Indian
Bureau will take the initiative
in consulting with the Indians
concerned and will give them
every possible assistance in
working out a satisfactory solu.
ton to the problem. There are.
of course. many Indians today
who have no interest in agricul.
ture or livestock operations and
are eager to dispose of their
allotted holdings and use the
proceeds for some other purpose.
In the past. land was retained in
Indian ownership regardless of
the ability. wishes or needs Of
the Indian owner himself. In
many cases needy Indians live
out their entire lives without
realizing benefits from their al.
lottcd holdings.
Briefly aid simply. these arc
our policies on the subjects Mr..
Mckay asked about. They are
for the protection and help Of
the Indians Of this country. /
would like TO add that this Ad.
ministration IN many ways Is
/ making very sincere and sym.
! pathetic effort to learn just wha,
the Indian people have in their
minds and in their hearts and to
work with them in doing the
things which will give them the
kind Of life they want and tina,
they want for their children.

Department of the Interior
Office of the Secretary
Washington rs, d. c.
January Is, 1856
Mr.. T. A. Busey,
Editor Glacier Reporter
Browning, Montana
My dear Mr.. Buscy:
There was recently brought to
my attention an open letter to
Secretary of the Interior Douglas
Mckay from Mr.. Tiff Mckay ap.
pearing in the Glacier Reporter
on December 30. 1855. lie said
that as his name Is also Mckay,
statements by the Secretary of
the Interior are sometimes mis-.
takenly attributed to him.
Therefore. he asked to be told in
good plain English just what the
policies are regarding a number
of matters of concern to the In.
dams of this country.
As Indian affairs come under
my general supervision in the
Department of. the Interior. as
am particularly interested in
Montana. and as there should be
no confusion of our names,
would like to respond to his pub
lie request.
First. What is being done
to equip children and Indian
youth for the problems of a
complex civilization. :" This
Administration takes special sat.
isfaction in progress that has
been made in education. We be.
lieve that one of the most i'm.
pOrtant responsibilities we have
to the Indians of this country Is
to see to il that they all have
an opportunity for q first.rate
education. l believe the Indians
too understand the importance
of education and are eager to
have their children in school.
With the cooperation and sup.
port Of state and local school
authorities we are encouraging
the enrolment of Indian chill.
dren in the public schools where.
ever this is possible in the be.
lief that they should have the
same kind of education as other
American citizens. Also. there
will be better understanding
between both the Indians and
nonlndians II they attend
schools together and are on an
equal footing. Where local pub.
lie schools are not available. the
Indian Bureau itself runs board.
ing schools and day schools 50
that the Indian children may be
better prepared to make . living
and to be good citizens.
When this Administration took
office. half of the 1900 Navajo
children Of school age were
growing up without the oppor.
tunity of even an elementary
education. That problem has
been vigorously attacked In the
past two years and for the first
time in history all of the Navajo
children presented for schooling
are being Accommodated. This
was accomplished by hard.hit.
ting emergency type program
which involves substantial ex.
pansion Of Indian Bureau school

use of mobile facilities such as
