LO. THE POOR INDIAN.
The Indians of Alaska seem to be
et no a mots difficult problem each
"'at VVY an led to this conclusion
tn -piit of optimistic missionary n'«
|hu|s und of suavt bulletins from the
d> partition! of the interior.
" • an' not about to ilup«i.i|y mis
sun.ti:>> oi their efforts. They are
,1 nn \<ry fine people conscientiously
‘lying to do the thing to which they
think they m called Likewise the
d« parttnent of the tntcrioi is really
'lying in help the Indians with its
model villagis and its schools. So
wbatevet wi find the Indian to he
must I- , msideied either because of,
ei n spit, i th, efforts of missionar
ies.
Then an sootes of white men still
.dne win will hear witness to the
i. et that th, nativ, s of Alaska were
honest wn the w hiles first came in
voutaci wuh them That is, they did
i" 1 > > 11a y had a stern code of
ill ora I' ki regarded truthfulness and
ih, property rights of another. Ouf
J'"‘ n . onls t.vtay show what a change
has taken placw.

>un Ind . ns have always killed ui
w.,r, revengv' or passion. But killing
for profit ts comparatively new so far
•>s we know.
v'ur Indians have tveen nursed, tnol
' coddled, iV-.ted. guarded and edu
cated for twenty years or more and
they seenn-d to lie worse off now than
ih, y wa r,' at the i-egmning We feel
,evnn,l<tn fnvui what we hear o» kw.,,
> • L: , - ..rid of conditions through
at Alaska that there are three -ernes
s many natives in yail today as there
wen ter-, years agvv
Ihi educated native seem* to be
w ors, t: ,n th, poor chap that did not
' ''Y adrar.-agva. We are tokl that
'S'ily all th, natives who Lend in the
federal Jail are able to read and write.
V> ng -.is - why. the Indian
' s vp ' me .pahle of understanding
it th t > all A well educated Indian
loki as that natives pretend to be
' •m.stains because it pays them to
and that no Indian ever get* over hi*
■> i-> f m i evils” or spirits. Hs tees
them - 'em where and tlviyg even
n - '-st just as ivpa wrote long
.go of lav who see* vVod in clouds
or bears him ir. the wind.* Only it u
not the vtod of the us;ssionanea that
b« sees hat good devils and bad devil*
It seems to be Jraa that ctsr con
tact with the Indian hus made hltn I
worse Instead of better In all ways ex
cept his material well being. For h»
is better clothed, better fed, and bet
tf r housed than In early days.
Let us run over the scale of qual
ities that wo commonly count us gvol
or bad and see what our lufluenct
hi.* been, in morals he, and she, at%
no better and no worse than formerljt
The Indian of Alaska never had anj
Idea of virtue according to our stan
dards and hasn't any now. What we
Call Immorality and morality or In
comprehensible to them. The sex re
lation begins at a yery tender age; n
couple marry and separate at will. A
mother today will sell temporarily her
twelve year old daughter for a small
price Just as she would have done a
hundred years ago. If this is doubted
ask any honest man who has taught
among the Indians
The Indians gamble to excess. They
gamble unit! they often have nothing
whatever left except the poor rags
they stand in. Very few of the younger
generation do not have this vice. They
will gamble away their money, traps,
tool.s furniture, stove, bedding, and
Anally their parka Tins vice has been
learned from the whites.
They have also learned lo lie, to
steal, and to murder. A few of the
debased women have learned to use
morphia. Their best trait is that they
are kind to their children. In this they
excell most white people. They sol
dom, very seldom, strike a child. They
will go without in order that the child
may have. As a result of 'his the
affection between offspring and parent
remains strong throughout life.
On the other hand Indians are cruel
to all creatures. They are cruel to
their dogs, half starving them, over
working them, leaving them tied to
a stakfle to die from lack of food and
water. Captured sons birds, captured
bears, foxes, mink, squ^rel, crows,
owls all these, and others, who fall
into the hands of Indians are usually
doomed to torture in one from or an
other.
If the natives have not learned much
I .
. good from the whites and have learned
a great deal of evil nevertheless they
are here along with the rest of Uk
[and they huve got to bo dealt with.
Perhaps they have gone us far down
grade as they are to go. Perhaps if
ul) Indian thieves are punished as aro
white thieves, the number will de
crease as the average of whites does
not. If u native who gambles all his
substance away receives no charity,
only a chance to work, perhaps he will
see that gambling is a bad practice.
In short if the natives are treated
firmly and kindly, being compelled to
reap where they have .sown as the
rest of us do, perhaps more of them
will become veritable models of school
and mission success.
