ALASKA NATIVE
BROTHERHOOD
CONVENTION
Metlnkuthla Noueraber
22 to 24 1915
First Session
The third annual convention of
the Alaska Native Brotherhood was
called to order at 10 o’clock a.m.
Monday, Nov. 22, in the Metlakalv
tla Benevolent Society Hall, by Mr.
I'eter Simpson, the president and
was opened with a brief prayer by
the Rev. Edward Marsden, the sec
retary.
On account of the prevailing bad
weather that prevented many from
coming in their own boats, only a
little more than half of the dele
gates were present, and the roll as
made out was as follows:
Sitka: R. Young, F. Price, R.
Walton, D. Howard, A Wanamaker,
W. Jackson, C. Peck, D. Cameron, J.
Willard, P. Simpson.
Juneau: F. Mercer, J. Watson.
Wrangell: R. James, C. Worth
ington, J. Kassunk, D. Austin, C.
Jones, C. S. Peterson, T. Yukas, P.
Thomas.
Kasaan: H. Swanson, G. Brooks.
Ketchikan and Saxman: G.„ Mc
Kay. P. Kinninook, D. Kinninook.
Metlakahtla: R. Davis, B. Hal
dane, P. Mather, P. Verney, S. Dal
ton. E. Tait, M. Hamilton, D. Reece,
A. Milton, M. Bolton, H. Murchison,
J. Campbell.
Nominations were then called for
the -officers of the convention, and
after several brief addresses were
made, the following officers were
duly elected: President, Peter
Simpson; secretary, Edward Mars
den; treasurer, Ralph Young. The
chair appointed Wm. Jackson as
recording clerk, and John Willard
as sergeant-at-arms.
In the absence of the recording
clerk, r. J. Liberty, who had the
matter in charge, the minutes of
last year’s convention at Sitka were
read in part by the secretary. These
were approved as far as they went
by the convention.
The president then reported that
d iring the last year there was much
to encourage the movement among
the native young men of the coast.
In certain places where nothing but
Indian feasts on large scales usual
ly took precedence of everything
else, the desire for a better civil
ized life now seems to pervade the
air in those places. Where a cor
rect understanding of the native
character was experienced the
authorities seemed to take the right
views of the native problems in
volved and to endeavor as far as
possible to deal justly in the cases
observed.
By common consent the oral re
port of the secretary was given as
chairman of last year’s committee on
native citizenship. The report re
viewed the past efforts of many
natives to attain a full American
citizenship, not because they should
be citizens according to their own
judgement, but because they were
entitled to the rights of the ordin
ary American citizens by their own
fitti'-ss.
The courts had variously ruled on
the legal status of the natives and
this ■ id worked a hardship on those
i ‘ who were worthy and were
entitled to some just considerations.
The report showed the various ef
forts of the committee, and its in
terviews with many of the public
men in Alaska. Finally the last
Territorial Legislature passed an
act defining the legal status of the
natives of Alaska which in fact
granted the full rights of the
American citizen to any of the
natives who might be able to come
under its requirements and provis
ions.
The treasurer’s report suggested
that the convention formulate plans
which would be the least burden
some to all and whereby an ade
quate income be obtained for the
ordinary and necessary uses of the
organization. That no fund of any
kind was available only showed the
necessity of a common sacrifice for
the good of all.
The other reports were those of
Mr. Jackson and Mr. Mercer as
members of the other committees
of last year’s convention. They
both reiterated their experiences
which showed that no benefit could
be rceived from organization with
out some system of work and rev
enue. The organization could not
move along on air only as some
would think, but like other societies
of the kind it must be well conduct
ed and supported both morally and
financially to attain its desired end.
There were some of the usual
formalities which the convention
observed during its entire session
of three days which we cannot
record here and in the following re
ports. As we have noticed before
the people of Metlakahtla welcomed
the delgates very heartily, and did
their very best to entertain them in
their good homes. They afforded
every facility for their work which
the delegates in turn appreciated
more than words could tell.

tomorrow.)
