INDIAN TEACHER TRIES TO CONVINCE STUDENTS SHE'S NOT FROM INDIA

Miss Louise Tansy, Cantwell, lo- cated on the southeast edge of Mt. Mckinley National Park, is having difficulty in trying to convince her Eskimo pupils in the day school at Kotzebue, that she is an Athabascan Indian from Alaska and not an In- dian from India.
 Miss Tansy is enjoying her job teaching second grade. She reports that some of her pupils are little live wires.
 One unique and amusing situa- ton she has encountered is, that she has been having trouble making some youngsters to go home after school.
 "They seem to want to stay after school and I kind of hesitate to tell them to go home. think they are just curious" she said.

or possible claims to varying amounts of land.
 Ruling Needed
 Robert Rausch, head of the Fair banks regional office of Alaska De- partment of Fish and Game, said the native rights assertions were block ing plans and had completely sti- mied the state selection program.
 Until we have a definite ruling on native rights assertions, this pro- gram and many others cannot go ahead. It affects not only the De- partment of Fish and Game but all the departments of state govern ment.
 "I am sure everyone would like to see a solution, not only to this particular claim but all the other claims"

 Weather Ana0sing At Top of World
By Guy Okakok Contributing Editor Misery and Cold

Here in Barrow, the houses seems to relax from the heat, meaning nowhere to find a wood or oil whenever persons can't afford to buy the fuel for his home.
 And it looks kind of hard for anyone to keep his family going while the big natural gas is outside of their houses. Especially for the school children; they'd go to school sometimes in the morning without any breakfast. or even wash them- selves. Why? Because of no fuel.
 Like Summer
 Our grandparents used to tell us that some years Alaska will never freeze and will be likely like sum- mer in the winter.
 That reminds me today as I come home from seal hunting. Without going inside after the hunt went to check my thermometer. It reads 38 above.
 The rain pours down all day to- day. Children who loves to play outdoors had to stay inside on ac- count of the heavy rain.
 This is amazing, having heavy rain in January on 27th and 18th of this month. It seems to us that the climate here in Barrow keeps changing each year.
 I'm coming to 60 years now and all these years We don't have that much rain in winter. Not only this but the weather those years were so beautiful that you always wanted to go and hunt all the time.

rUH BRA TIMES


 can't come here and express the right kind of words you people want to hear so they sent me to invite you to Minto. We will listen to your side of the story if you will listen to us.
 March of Dimes
 We are trying the best we can to be true American citizens" he said, Last Saturday we put on dance for the March of Dimes and our whole village went to it and we col lected $52.26.
 "Young guys with dogs hauled wood for old pensioners in order to get the money for a $250 donation.
 "It's pretty hard to get hold of a dollar at Minto. We don't work year around. Just a very few of the boys work four or five months out of the year and they don't make much, about $500 to $1;000.
 'As fall comes, they start think ing about that fall fish run and find a way to quit their jobs or get fired so they can come back and get enough fish for the winter.
 Black Fish
 Tn the winter, he said, they re- lied on the black fish found in open places under snow drifts and upon beaver trapping.
 If the men who work made over $500, they are eligible for unem- ployment compensation"
 ''That is the cycle I don't worry so much about the old people be- cause the U. s. Government makes sure they get their monthly check but the young people, they don't know a trade, the only thing they know is to fish and hunt"
 Ancient Claim
 Chief Frank then traced how his forefathers had lived and claimed the Minto Flats for centuries. From time unknown, he said Minto chiefs had claimed specific areas and did not tresspass in other areas.
 On Feb. 13, 1888 he said his father, Justin Frank, made a map for the Native Service of the area claimed by Minto. The area encompasses about 800 square miles of the Minto Flats.
 He said that the village was asked if it wanted reservation and voted no, "because we did not know very much about reservations"
 State Applied
 But he said the claim was filed with the government Later, in 1851, he said George Titus, made another map but had difficulty with land marks and the map was inaccurate. In late 1861, he said, with the Ne mana oil activity the state applied for the. area his people had always used. We put in a protest and Peter John duplicated the map made by my father"
 "We feel the place for sportsmen recreation should be in another part of Alaska. What about the old bombing area? There's couple million acres there and I doubt if they have ever dropped bomb on it."
 Don't Hate
 ''Now don't want to sound like l really hate you people, no. If we were convinced that everyone would benefit, that the people of Minto would benefit we might go along"
 "The attitude down there is that you people were going to put road into Minto Lakes without even consulting the people who live there, who hunt and fish there, who use the area for livelihood!'
 "1f you people could live off Min to Flats for one year or even quarter of year, you would under stand my point"
 Chief Frank pointed out that there were about 20 cabins built by sportsmen in the area "When they asked permission to build

don't pay them in cash like other guides; most of them get paid the cheaper way, in liquor. Our people don't like that"
 Why do you propose to build the road only half way, why not build it all the way to Minto. That way the village could get some ben eft, everybody would be happy"
 "We are satisfied with the way things have been going. We don't mind Fairbanks hunters coming down and getting moose. But if whole bunch of people move in, what will happen to my people? They will be out and I do mean, out"
 Chief Frank was questioned by a sportsman, Exactly what do you want out of the area?"
 Full Rights
 eve want our full trapping, hunt ing and fishing rights. When you take all those three things, you are discussing the land.
 ''In 1888 we didn't know anything about reservations, and we voted against it, but if that is the only way we can get the land, then we would be for it."
 One sportsman said he had had a cabin in the flats for IF years and he had never seen an Indian. He questioned why of Chief Frank.
 Stay Away
 The chief replied that the Minto Board of Directors had received a complaint and that the Minto peo- pie had been given strict orders to stay away from the cabins. "We told them not to go near the cabins because we didn't want them to get into trouble"
 Frank was evidently referring to a complaint aired at the Panama In- dian meeting last June in which the belief was expressed that sports men in Minto Lakes were taking things from each other and blaming the Minto natives.
 Area Needed
 Upon a question by another mem- Der of the audience, Chief Frank said the Minto people were using the entire 800 square mile area. we hunt one day here, the next day there"
 ''In beaver season we try to catch one or two beaver out of each house, because if we take more than that we are cutting out own bank account"
 "We trap 20 miles area then move over 20 miles.
 The Rev. Gordon Olson, of Minto, substantiated the need for the large area.
 q have been keenly aware of the need of natives to live off the land and I don't think 800 square miles is too big an area" said the Rev. Olson. Olson has served as mission ary there g years and also as fish and game licensing agent.
 Missionary Worried
 "When you see these people go out for moose, it isn't too big, just about the size needed for the ani- mals there"
 If a road is put in. the main danger is for moose. The families all depend upon it for their winter meat If it isn't available, the win ters for their families are going to be nightly slim.'
 "It will place severe hardship without question on them because people driving to the lake will hunt in the natives hunting area. When the surplus is cut down, wonder what the village will do.
 Village Welfare?
 "Welfare will probably be needed for the whole village"
 At the present time only two per- sons are drawing welfare and both are disability cases, Chief Frank said.

color slides of the Minto Lakes area His report concerning the human use of the area by the Minto peo- pie conflicted in many respects to the report later given by Chief Frank and the Rev. Gordon Olson a missionary of the village.
 Chief Frank began by thanking the Alaska Conservation Society for inviting him to the meeting, point ing out it was the first such invita- ton his village ever received to present the views of his people concerning the road.
 Not Consulted
 "The first we hear about this road project was last fall through rumor. My people feel very badly that the road has been planned for so long and we were not consulted, not once"
 He explained the Minto people had passed around the hat" to raise $25 for his trip to Fairbanks. He said he only had sixth grade education and would not be able to use the well chosen words like Dr. Weeden.
 Trapping, hunting, and fishing that is the way my people make their livelihood. Not one person in Minto has a year-around job like most of the people in Fairbanks"
 No Benefit
 My people can see no way the project will benefit Minto.'
 We have lot of hungry children and it's the future of the Minto In- dians we are thinking of. We have relatives at Rampant and other vil- lages that we would like to move to Minto if Rampant Dam goes through.
 We don't know how to dig oil wells; we just know how to fish. trap, and hunt. If Rampant is built. there will have to be some place for our relatives to move where they can live directly off the land" Chief Frank then cited an ex- ample of development from the years past that had affected his peo- pie adversely. He said pike and white fish used to be plentiful at their fish camp. "The water was deep and cellar and we got fish for our dogs by the pailful. Then in the early 3O'S the FEE Company came in and started dredging"
 Development Effect
 "The water became filthy; the river became shallow: and we can't catch fish like we used to. You can't get enough fish for five dogs. know, I've tried it.
 Its pretty hard for me to ex- plain. We are afraid we will fall into the trap of sportsmen and it will hurt the future of our people" Chief Frank then explained the cycle of life at Minto, saying, Nothing is so sorrowful as for hunter empty handed, to be greeted by hungry children
 "They will look at your feet, if there's blood on your feet, they know you got a moose"
 Moose Left
 He said if a native wounded a moose and it got away that the na- tive always went back the next day and brought the moose in.
 'The sportsman, the great Ameri- can sportsman, alot of time will shoot a moose and let it go. We know because we find dead moose with bullets in them.
 "When we find an animal like that, that had been dead for some time, we can't use it. We bring it back for the dogs"
 Trapping
 Chief Frank said his people also made some money from trapping minks, muskrats, lynx, but he said the carcasses were also prepared for meals.
 There are very few animals that

OVERWEIGHT PROBLEM
Adele Simpson has solved
the overweight problem where
bringing back souvenirs is
concerned. She also gets a
decorating award for her in
ventiveness. She brought
back six beautifully colored
picture post cards from the

Palace) in Istanbul, Of the
fabulous Sultan's robes on
exhibit there. She cut the T.
shaped robes out, matted
them on ruby red velvet,
and had them framed hori-
zontally in an antique gold
plain frame. She did this
when she got back to New
York, and didn't have to pay
for any overweight luggage,
either.

Mid-March is the ideal time
to 60 looking for trouble and
hope that you will not find 1t.
Now is the season that we
should carefully inspect the
woody plants for signs Of win
ter injury. The deciduous shade
and fruit trees should be ex-
amined for signs Of winter
damage-snow, wind. etc.
The broad-leaved evergreens
such as the azaleas, camellias
and rhododendrons also need
to be examined for signs Of
split bark and broken branches.
The perennial border should
be carefully checked not only
to see which II any Of
the plants have been pushed
out Of the ground by heaving.
but also to see that all plant
markers are In place and legi-

Mid-March is about as early
as most gardeners feel the urge
to get out and see what harm
has come to their gardens dur
ing the winter months. Last
winter brought cold, snow sleet
and damaging winds. All plants
may have been affected.
Early Freezes Hurt
The early freezes-late Octo-
Der, caught many plants in q
tender stage and undoubtedly
there will be some azaleas, per-
haps other evergreens that suf-
fered splits in the sap-filled
bark. These cracks should be
opened to make certain that
infection has not gained a
start. Should dark colored wood
be evident 1t should be scraped
away and the area treated first
with alcohol and then painted
with a good tree dressing.
These cracks may be any
where on the trunk, from the
top to the ground. Most often
they will be on the north side
but considering the earliness Of
the freeze they may be on any
side. All azalea bushes should
be carefully checked for such
injury, most likely 1t will be
close to the ground.
Fruit and shade trees may
have suffered from the snow
and the sleet, with some limbs
split at weak forks. Damaged
limbs should be removed. Per-
haps the best place is next to
the main trunk, or in some
cases back to the next side
branch. At any rate the cut
should be made close to and
parallel with the trunk or main
branch. This is to avoid stubs
