Chippewa Indians
To Seek U. N. Aid
DULUTH. Minn. (JP) — The
Minnesota Chippewa Indians have
laid aside their pipe of peace and
decided to seek United Nations’
aid in the restoration of their “sov
ereign rights” to hunt, fish and
trap as of old.
The action was taken by tribal
leaders as they crowded around a
wood-burning stove at the Fond
du Lac reservation coouncil cham
ber for their annual pow-wow on
tribal problems...
. Chieftains pointed out that the
Chippewas held sufficient sov
ereignty to claim protection of
U. N. as an “oppressed nation,”
citing that the United States had
always dealt with them by treaty.
This, they said, was interpreted as
an admission that the tribe held
national status.
“But,” said interpreted Ed Wil
son of Ball Club, Minn., “The
United States has never given the
Chippewas copies of these treat
ies. The United States has never
respected its own signed words.
We hold that the government has
dealt with us in bad faith. We be
lieve we have a case for the United
Nations.”
Wilson said the Chippewas must
fish, hunt and trap to make a liv
ing, adding, “but the white man
say, ‘No’.”
“Today we come for action,” he
added.

shipments of goods to Alaska is
being sought, it was disclosed here
i today.
J Customs routine involved in
shipment of both Canadian and
American supplies to Alaska
would be simplified by designa
tion of Dawson Creek as an offi
cial port of entry.
With their flour supply almost
down to rock bottom, people of
Alaska were informed today that
relief was in sight. Arrangements
were made in Edmonton that one
carload, 80,000 pounds, be made
available for shipment to Alaska.
F. W. Patton, Fairbanks busi
nessman in Edmonton to make
food purchases, has been advised
that this amount of flour has been
released for export by the Cana
dian wheat board.
An additional 14,000 pounds of
flour was ready to move north to
day from Dawson Creek.
It was expected the flour would
be on its way from here today. It
would be shipped by rail to Daw
son Creek and trucked from there.
