ALASKA NATIVE
BROTHERHOOD {
CONVENTION
- Metlakathlu Nouombor
■22 to 24 1015
Third Session
The treasurer, Mr. Ralph Young,!
presided at this session, Monday ■
evening, Nov. 22, which was made a
popular meetinf on the subject of
the Alaska native education. A large
crowd of the Metlakahtla people
were present, as were the Govern
ment teachers, including the princi
pal, Prof. Charles D. Jones.
The subject seemed to be very in
teresting aisd it was ably handled by
many of the native speakers ani
also by Prof. Jones. The chair an
nounced that since no regular papers
were prepared on the different
phase of the topic, and since every
one present was more or less famil
iar with the whole work of Indian
education here in Alaska, as the
same was comparatively of recent
origin and within the memory of
all present, the matter in hand
should be dealt with as to its his
tory. system, support, success, future
and from the native standpoint its
criticisms. By the last word the
chair explained that any defects;
: noticeable, if any at all, and any;
desired improvement of the whole j
work was what was meant in the:
program.
Only a very few points of the dis- >
cits-'on can be reported here. Soon I
after the American government took j
possession of Alaska in 1867, a fewj
American missionaries came and
started some educational work among
the natives, particularly at Wrang
ell and Sitka. Later on several j
religious societies took an active
part, and it was fully over ten years
after the purchase was made that
the government itself had anything
to do with the native education at
all. The Russians had some schools
for natives before and after the
transfer. Today the American gov
ernment. together with some of the
American churches, has undertaken
a very extensive educational work a
mong the natives, and along with
this the medical parr of the whole j
work. . j
The present system, support, and
success of the Government school j
work in Alaska was well resented:
by Prof. Jones. Full statistics were
brought out to show that the Alas
ka division of the U. S. Bureau of
Education has a deep interest in
the welfare of the Alaska native
children. The call of the Alaska
natives for an education seems to be;
loud, and the Government is answer- |
ine this in the best way possible;
under the existing circumstance*.
“No real success of the whole
work,” remarked Prof. Jones, "can
be hoped for if the parents and the
native people of Alaska in general
are indifferent to the work. The
reason why some of the schools
under the Government are closed to
day is because in those places the j
native people do not care to keep
their children in school, and the
government would rather help those
in other places who are very anxious
to mo to school.”
The delegates acknowledged all
the good work that has been done,
both ' v the government and all the
r societies. The discussions
brought out the fact that educated
natives, men and women, should be
employed as teachers in some of
the schools. Bat although .the gov
ernment seems to be quite willing
to give employment to natives who
are strictly qualified for the same,
the sad fact is that there are per
haps not as many natives, men and
women, in all Alaska as on any
one's fingers to qualify under the
rules.
“What do you find to be some of
the defects of the whole educational
work in oar midst today?” asked the i
chair. And this was answered by
several of the delegates. The youth
of the teacher; coming to Alaska foe
the sake of a change of climate;
taking the job for gathering mater
ial for the show case or a new book,
coming up here in search of a hus
band: failure to study and mastei
local conditions.
But the foremost objection to the
whole system is the constant and
never ending change of teachers.
A new person comes into a nev
ccmmunity. If it be a native com
munity altogether the experience cr
both sides is novel and at times ex
citing and distressing. The new
teacher gets down to work and by
the time she is nearly through with
the term she begins to know her
work and the people. But she goes
home and another new one takes
her place. She goes through the
0xpe>':- nee of the former teacher. The
pupils ar unconsciously kept back in
their studies every year all because
of the yearly change of teachers.
The convention recognized that the
peculiar trying conditions of the
natives of Alaska called for a large
amount of self-sacrifice and con
centration on the part of the teach
er, and when these are absent in
the worker, the work must of neces
sity be devoid of good fruits.
