METLAKAHTLANS TO
HOLD CONVENTION
Evrybody Is to Be Made
Wellcome
There will be a convention of the
j Alaska Native Brotherhood for
i four or five days commencing on
Monday morning, November 22,
next, at Metlakahtla. Native dele
ates will come from almost every
Indian village on the coast from
Haines down to the lower boundary
line, and these delegates will repre
sent the Thlingit, Hydah and the
Tsimpshean native peoples.
This is the third time the new
organization holds i’.s annual con
vention. and toe goo: it has already
done for the native young men of
the coast proves the necessity of
its own existence.
The delegates, although repre
senting a diversity of dialects, will
use only the English language in
their deliberations. The sessions
morning, afternoon and evenings,
will be open to the public; and the
courtesies of the floor will be extend
ed now and then even to those who
are not delegates as long as they
have something to contribute to the
general discussions.
The organization is not a religi
ous nor a political affair. It is
voluntarily formed for the purpose
of assisting and encouraging the
native Alaskans, especially the
young men in their struggles for
’'*‘tor” civilized life. Discourage
ments, mistakes, misunderstandings
and even ridicule, are full in the
way of the new movement; yet,
v i‘h all these the native youg men
feel that if the Indian problem is
to be effectively and corectly solved
| at all a large part of solving it in
! any shape or form must of necessi
i to their lot.
Some of the prominent men in
! public, religious, educational and
business life, Americans, including
perhaps one or two of the members
of the last teritorial legislature,
will give addresses at the popular
meetings. Only a very bare outline
of the general subjects of the con
vention can be noticed here.
The Alaska Native Brotherhood
its meaning, necessity and future;
the Alaska Native Races,their ori
gin and history, the causes of theit
degeneration, .what will supplant
their present bad customs ? What
business can the natives actually
engage in ? Stumbling blocks, and
how to clear them. Alaska Indian
Education, its history, system,suc
cesses and failures. Manual train
ing. The returned student, and
why is he useless and big-headed?
Citizenship for natives, how and
when ? The present policies of the
government toward the Alaska
natives. And so forth.
The Metlakahtla people are mak
ing arrangements for this gather
ing, and they will spare no ex
pense in entertaining the native
visitors. A very cordial invitation
is also extended to all friends of
the Alaska Indian in the vicinity of
Metlakahtla to attend any or all
of the sessions of the convention.
Provisions will be made for the
convenience of day visitors, and
these will include a noon lunch for
all on each day. Details of all
this will be announced later on.

President,
Edward Mirsden,
Oen *r il Secretary.
