tarily in quest of a better life.
They came prec onditioned to de-
sire to be absorbed. Negroes came
here involuntarily, but their extra
ordinary situation has very plainly
resulted in strong desire for
integration and they have no other
culture or language than our own.
1.-THE Indians we're here first.
They did not invite us, they did
not want US, and we have shown
them precious little reason to be-
lieve that it would be an improve
ment TO become the same as the
rest of us. Indians are conscious
Of themselves as an aboriginal
aristocracy older, smaller, and
prouder than the OAR or the Society
Of the Cincinnati. The fact that they
have been unable SO far, on the
whole, to make a successful cul-
tural adjustment to the world that
we have imposed upon them, (and)
that they are wretchedly impov-
eriShed merely makes their
pride all the more touchy and
easily offended.
"Although there are many indi-
vidual exceptions, the deeply i'm
bedded desire of most Indians is
to prove themselves whole men and
successful in our world without
ceasing to be Indians. This is not
an easy ambition to fulfill.
Indians who seem to have lost
all of their culture, even all of their
dignity. yet retain far more Indian
ness than anyone would expect.
Very important in this is what we
would consider a very old
fashioned reticence and reserve
in initial contacts with people. Our
modern pattern is the immediate
smile, the hearty handshake, the
slap on the back and the instant
use of first names. We enact a
comedy of personal friendship on
sight, one result of which often is
that we experience no true friend
ship.
"The overwhelming majority of
Indians operate in exactly the re-
verse manner. They don't knowyou
and you don't know them, and they
don't expect to give or receive ges-
lures of false cordiality. They want
Navajo times., 1963-05-09

to go slow and find out whether
in fact they and you are going to like
each other. My experience is that
their capacity for real friendship
and trust is rather greater than
ours. They draw back from the
thrusting, over-cordial approach
and if there is in the approach an
element of condescenSion, a sug-
gestion on the part of the non-
Indian that he is favoring a person
less fortunate than himself with
his benevolence, the result is hos
tility.
Il hope this somewhat involved
explanation of what is, in fact, a
difficult cultural phenomenon to
explain will give meaning to GER
tain rules that my father, who
spent much time among Indians,
taught me and that | have conSiS-
tently applied:
Do not be oVer-cOrdial.
Do not push your personality
at the Indian.
Do not expect the Indian to ac-
cept you on sight.
Do not condeScend.
Do observe old-fashioned re-
serve and courtesy.
DO base your approach on re-
spect for the integrity of the indi-
vidual, regardless of age or
condition"

Liquor Licenses
Stop-Order Given

Governor Jack M. Campbell,
last week, directed the New Mexico
State Liquor Division to comply
with the joint Navajo and Zuni
tribes resolution prote sting liquor
licenses near their reServati ons.
This action followed a protest
meeting with the Governor on
March % at whichrepresentatives
Of the Navajo and Zuni Tribes as
we'll as State Senator George D.
Amaya, Mckinley County, ap-
peared to present their protests
and petitions against the further
issuance of liquor licenses in areas
where the majority of the popula-
tion is Indian.
At that time Governor Camp
bell took the liquor licenses under
advisement but said that the Indians
in the areas discussed constituted
such large percentage of the total
population that their wishes re-
garding these areas should be given
consideration"
At the protest meeting the rep
reSentatiVeS of the two tribes
informed the Governor they would
attempt to get the councils of both
tribes to make a Joint resolution of
protest outlining specific areas.
This resolution was passed unani-
mously as joint resolution onthe
first meeting of the new Navajo
Tribal Council Immediately fol-
lowing the inaugur alton of Chair
man Raymond Nakai.
Represent ativeS at the protest
meeting with the governor we're
CouncilWoman Annie Wauneka and
Councilman Sam Day III for the
Navajo Tribe and Governor Fred
BoWannie of the Zuni Tribe. Also,
Reverend Bill Young of the Zuni
Baptist Mission. The meeting was
covered by repre- sentatives of the
Navajo Times.
All concerned expressedpleas-
ure at the Governors action and it
was generally felt by councilmen
and women that this action by the
Governor would help control the
moral problem associated with
liquor.
Senator Amaya said that "this
action by Governor Jack Campbell
is certainly to be commended as it
illustrates his desire to cooperate
with the wishes of the majority of
the people in these areas and it is
also very encouraging signto see
the Navajo and Zuni leaders work
ing together on mutual problems"
The areas covered in the joint
resolution where further liquor
licenses were to be cont rolled are:
us. 666 and State Road 68 be-
tween Gallup and the Navajo Res
ervation, State Road 81 between
Gallup and the Zuni Reservation
and Ramah, US. 66 east and west of
Gallup, US. $50 between Farming
ton and the Navajo Reservation. and
State Road 81 north of US. 66 at

La Fargo Gives Rules For
Dealings With Indians

Editors Note: The following article
was published in the Human Rela-
tions News by the Chicago Com
mission on Human Relations re-
garding Indian culture.
One of the nations foremost
authorities on American Indians
has sent the Chicago Mayor S Com
mittee on New Residents his list of
rules to serve as guidelines for
those who, in their professional or
private lives, have dealings with
Indians in an urban setting.
oliver La Fargo, Pulitzer
Prize winning author of a novel
about Indian life in the Southwest,
Laughing Boy, and currently
President of the Association on
American Indian Affairs, Inc, re-
sponded to request from the
Mayors Committee. In its letter
to La Fargo, the Committee noted
that many Chicagoans with gen.
uine interest in the condition of
the American Indian have seen
their efforts go awry because of
limited knowledge of Indian atti--
tudes and culture. Chicago. with it's
5000 American Indians, has been
called the nation's ''fourth largest
reservation.
In his letter, La Fargo writes
in part:
81 do not think that | can put
what | feel should be said into a
neat form of dos and 'don'ts'. 1t
is necessary to get at misunder-
standings that are deeply planted
in ordinary American thinking, and
this can't be done without a GER
tain amount of elaboration
"The ordinary American has
three stereotypes that he applies
to American Indians. Often he
thinks of Indians in a confusion
of all three at once. One is the
stereotype of the lazy. crafty,
drunken Indian, and the third is our
established expectation in regard
to all minorities. The first thing
a non-lndian must do if he wishes
to approach Indians is to rid his
mind of all his preconceptions and
prepare himself to face human
being endowed with the usual range
of virtues and faults, plus con-
ditioning resulting from a unique
position in American life.
"We assume that all our minor
tiles subscribe TO the doctrine of
the melting pot. All of our minor
tiles except the American Indian

 Rushing Deadline
 Ronald Cease, director of the Local Affairs Agency, in aymeet- ing with approximately 15e per sons attending the Peninsula wide meeting of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Study Group at Soldot- ma on April 28, said that the time element was a problem in present ing petition before the May 15 deadline. Even if properly pre-

pared, 1t would stand a 50-50 chance that it might fail and the time and effort put out would be wasted.
 He advised that the time be spent prior to coming borough elections set between Oct. 1 and Dec. l5 on studying the many vii tai borough problems that will confront borough residents after the borough is formed. Boroughs not organized by voluntary in- corporation prior to Oct. l will be organized under the manda- tory provisions of HB 90 by or der of the secretary of state prior to Jan. 1, 1864 in elections held before Dec 15. 1863.
 The Kenai City Council, in their regular session last We'd nesday discussed but took no of fieial action concerning the Ike mai Borough petition which was put into circulation last week in a surprise move by a group of Ke- mai City residents.

 hands a large majority of those attending indicated they were in favor of borough comprised of the entire Peninsula or Election Distsets No. 9 and 10.
 No mention of the proposed Ke- mai Borough was made at either of these meetings. The petition was readied for circulation a few days after the meeting with Cease. when he explained neces- sary steps for petitioning and dis cussed mandatory and local op- tion incorporation.
 2 Borough Boundary
 The petition calls for incorpor- ation of an organized borough of an area eirompassing some 2,500 square miles or larger than the state of Rhode Island or Della ware. It would include not only Kenai, but North kenai, Soldot- lls.s Sterling, Kasilof, Cohoe and Clam Gulch.
 Boundaries for the most part would follow the present Kenai Recording District Boundary and on the south would meet the north boundary of the proposed Homer Ninilchik Borough, petitions of which were submitted several weeks ago and for which deci- sion has been expected daily for the past couple of weeks.
 The borough law demands that there be signatures of at least 25 per cent of all qualified register ed voters, who voted in the last election from the city and also p per cent of the voters from outlying areas be affixed to the petition before it is submitted. This will necessitate BPS sigma lures, or 91 from within the ke- mai city limits and 237 from out lying communities. Those cireulat- ing the petition say that more than 200 signatures had been ob- tained as of Tuesday afternoon.
 According to Exhibit "B" of the petition, the proposed Kenai Bor- ough boundary would start at the. northwest corner of the Gnu zach National Forest where it meets Tunagain Arm, follow the forest boundary south to the Ster- ling Highway, then follow the Sterling Highway westerly to a

a Chaplain has told of an
experience during World War
III. His outfit had moved four
times during the night and
now was resting in a grove of
olive trees i'll one of the most
beautiful spots of the Pc Riv-
er Valley in Italy. There was
a lull i'll the fighting. 1t was
Sunday, a balmy, Springllke
day, and the chaplain was pre-
pairing to hold services.
He waited as the men as
wondered just what he should
say TO them. None Of his ser
mons previously prepared
seemed TO fit. AS he thumbcd
through his Bible, his eyes
came to the Book of Isaiah
and the words of our text.
This was what he needed
and what his men needed -
Gods perfect peacel That was
his message to his men that
day. They were led to see that,
no matter what their outward
circumstances might be, they
could experience the perfect
peace of God as they put their
trust in Him.
Prayer
O God, teach us to trust in
Thee. When we are faced with
trouble and anxiety, help us
to look to Thee for Thy guild
ance into the peace the world
cannot give or take away.
Keep us in Thy love, and help
us to love Thee now and ever
more. In the name of Christ
we pray. Amen.
Thought For The Day
No matter what our outward
circumstances may be, we can
know the perfect peace of
God.
