ALASKA NATIVE
BROTHERHOOD
CONVENTION
Metlakathlu Nouember
22 to 24 1015
Fourth and Fifth Sessions
At the invitation of the Metla
kahtla Musical and Literary Soci
ety, the convention met in their
I large hall all day Tuesday, Nov. 23.
Every beginning of the sessions
was opened with a brief prayer by
jfcjme one among the members and
this was followed by a roll call.
Very seldom a delegate was absent
and all seemed to take a deep in
terest in the proceedings of the
gathering. It was a real pleasure
to be associated with those young
j men, and one learns from them
! some very enlightened views in the
| Indian problems of Alaska.
! The subjects of the morning and
' afternoon sessions dealt exclusively
J with the natives of Alaska and the
questions of what would supplant
the old native customs. The whole
subject was treated very fairly and
there were no personal references
of any kind indulged in.
The natives were looked into ac
cording to their number, origin, his
tory, present conditions, causes of
their . degeneration, difficulties in
their way, their progress and
future; and also the influences* of
the whiteman, both good and bad.
But the part of the topic that
brought out some very earnest,
lively and well pointed remarks
were the questions on the program;
What will supplant the old cus
toms ? Why are they indulged in
by the natives? What evils do
they bring, and how do the natives
in general stand on the subjects of
morality and Christian marriage?
When are the ordinary public a
musomrnts and social gatherings
becoming disastrous to the native
home life and character?
The principal speakers were Mes
srs. Mercer, Wanamaker, Murchi
son, McKay, Price, D. Kinninok,
Worthington, Simpson and Mars
den.
Some of the causes of the present
degeneration of the natives are
named as follows rJealousy among
themselves, tribal prejudices, super
stitious practices, the damaging in
fluence of the Indian doctor and the
witchcraft professors, lack of con
fidence in one another, women a
secondary consideration, working
from hand to mouth, copying the
ways of the whiteman to the ex
treme, living with and off of the
old people, spending recklessly the
hard earned money, discarding the
natural food of the natives, ignor
ance of the washtub, ill-constructed
bouses, and so on.
The immediate causes were nam
ed as the common mingling of the
natives with the lowest classes of
unprincipled foreigners that flock
into Alaska; the open and shame
less immorality among the native
youths on the streets and right
in the very eyes of the authorities,
and the liquor traffic that has no
panicle of mercy on the already
sad welfare of the poor natives of
Alaska.
The chair: “We are certainly in
a b° fix. But let us not be dis
couraged. The idea of these dis
cussions are to know where -and
what we are, and then see if we
can find a way out. What can
you name as some of the things
that will in our native life today
-.-—
take the place of the old things of
yesterday?”
The answers were very much
varied: Engage in some kind of
business and be interested in it.
Put in real practice what knowledge
and trade you have learned in
school. Save your earnings and
use them aright. Be leaders for
good among your own people. Find
steady work and no matter how
humble it may be, but stick to it.
Send your children regularly to
school, Take part in the common
welfare of the towns in which you
live. Be interested in books and
newspapers in your leisure hours.
Go to church regularly, and take
hearty interest in your own home
and family life and makf it one
worth living for. ♦

MAKING (UNIFORMS LESS
VISIBLE
One of the latest conceptions for
rendering military uniforms less vis
ible on the field of battle is to use
material in pronounced irregular al
ternating light and dark colors with
wavy outlines.
Some of the darker patches are
outlined, in a still darker color, and
smaller spots of contrasting color
break up the color effect of some
of the patches, so that the effect of
uncertain light and shade is -pro
duced, to cause the garment to lose
its identity by mingling with the
background.
