FORGE NATIVES

Father Duncan, the Aged Alaskan
Missionary, Cuts Off Supply of
Water From Indian Cabins.
_ j
i
The Progressive, of Petersburg, i
gives the following account of the j
trouble between Father Duncan, the j
Matlakahtla missionary, and the na- j
tives of thai place, resulting in the ;
cutting off of the water supply of the ;
Indian village:
Partly as an expression of defiance j
to the 1'nited States, and partly to :
punish his “children,” as the white- |
haired priest calls the Tsimpsean In- |
dians of Matlakahtla, on Annett Is- I
land, for their rebellious action in de-I
mantling a government school. Father
Duncan, the aged missionary, cut off
the fresh water supply of the village.
Ever since the Secretary of the In
terior issued the order for the es
tablishment of a government school
on the island, a hostile movement on
the part of the missionary had been
expected, but the shutting off of the
water supply had never been thought
of and came as a surprise.
In this predicament, the natives,
together writh the government school
teachers, appealed to Governor Strong,
who issued a peremptory order to the
old missionary to start the water
through the pipes again. With the
impudence and dignity of a Napoleon,
he paid not the least attention to the
governor’s order, and by his action
made it perfectly clear that he holds
with as much contempt the powers
that be at Washington. Superintend
ent, Mr. Reattie, was ordered to pro
ceed to the island to see what could
be done, but so far no satisfactory
settlement of the trouble has been ef
fected and the natives are still carry
ng water with buckets.
All, however, seems but to strength
en the natives in their resolve to break
from the control of their "father,” and
to fight for their declared object of
civic and commercial freedom and
full American citizenship. The old
missionary on the other hand holds
to his contention that they are but
children incapable to manage their
own affairs who have become rebell
ious and therefore in need of severe
disciplining.
Only twelve or fifteen of his old
followers now remain with him. His
school has dwindled to almost noth
ing. while the attendance at the gov
ernment school is daily increasing.
It is said that there is still a love
and veneration among the natives for
the old gentleman who led them to
their present stage of civilization
where, with awakened ambition, they
now demand further advancement.
While openly hostile on week days,
when Sunday comes around, every
man, woman and child of the village
gather at the church that Father
Duncan built, there to worship and
receive his blessing as they have since
the year of 1887.
