RESOLUTION RELATIVE TO
THE CARE OF THE ALASKA
NATIVE INSANE
The United States Government
is rt present sending the insane
Alaskan Natives to Morning-side,
Oregon. f"r from their homos, mak
ing it generally impossible for the
relatives of these unfortunate in
s''re to vis:t them. These insane arc
also deprived of their customary
foods and are placed in the midst
of people speaking a strange lang
uage and for them, in an unfavor
able climate. We hold that the most
elementary sense of justice and
humanity would compel the res
ponsible authorities to provide a
place in Alaska where the wrongs
above mentioned would not exist
since these unfortunates would be
near their homes with their accus
tomed clinpate and food and amidst
friends of both race and language.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
that it is the consensus of the
opinion of the delegates to the
ALASKA NATIVE .BROTHER
HOOD and SISTERHOOD, meeting
in annual convention at Ilydaburg,
Alaska, that the proper authorities
provide a place for the insane Alaska
Natives in Alaska.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
that a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the Hon. Dan Sutherland,
delegate from Alaska to the United
States Congress, with the. urgent
request that he lay these matters
before the proper authorities to
the end that the intent of this
resolution be carried out.
