mans existance. Once that wa S ov-
er, the white man began to push the
Indians around"
1he"pushing around was pretty
rough. A good Indian was dead In
dian. BY the end of the Civil War
the Indian population was down to
100000. Today, there are about
$4,000.
Much of the decline of popula-
rion was due to confining Indians to
areas where they could not get
enough food.
Only 20 years ago Navajos were
starving on their great reservation
in the desert, 24.OOO square miles
in four States.
Now the Navajos are lucky. They
have never allowed individual own
ership. Fee Simple is the best way
for an Indian to lose his land. The
tribe owns the vast area and oil and
uranium have been found on it, Civ
ing the tribe an income to improve
its herds of cattle and to buy nee
esSary food.
"But the lack of water makes
sanitation difficult" "Dr. Shaw said.
"a Navajo, on the average, has
about half as much water a day as
we use to flush toilet--about three
gallons. And it was probably con-
terminated at the source, pond
where cattle drink"
X X X X
"LOOK AT THIS chart" he
said. 1--WE keep the babies alive in
the hospital. It's after they are TAX
en- home that the infant mortality
rate jumps"
He told of housing projects for
the Navajos--$5OO houses - and
well drilling and water line con -
Struction into the new homes.
He produced some charts. Tu-
berculosis was the No. 8 3killer
among the Indians 10 years ago.
Today it is not among the first 10.
The reduction of tubercular deaths
among the Alaskan Indians was es-
pecially sharp--down almost 80
per cent in 10 years.
The division operates so hos
pitals on Indian reservations. A
new So million 5O-bed hospital will
be dedicated at the end of this month
at Kotzebue, 81 miles north of the
Artic Circle in Alaska.
