INDIAN PROBLEM IS
<?
TAKEN UP ANCHORAGE
AND RELIEF SOUGHT
Many have become penniless and in
want and public or sem-public
charges here—City Council en
deavoring to get Solution of pro
blem through Federal Authorities.
______ / *
. (Anchorage Times)
Many of the Indians in Anchdrage
and vicinity have been appealing to
the city authorities for assistance fo
late, and have become a serious local
problem. Members of the city coun
cil have been in conference on the
subject of late, and are taking defin
ite steps to see if the federal gov
ernment through the department of
Indian AfTairs or some other branch
will not take up the task of look
ing after the Indians and seeing
that they do not become permanent
local 3rges on the community.
Th ontention is made here that
the Indians naturally are wards of
the federal government, and that
some provision should be made ag
ainst them gathering or drifting into
the cities and becoming charges of
the municipality or subjects of local
charity.
Many of the Indians who earned
some money during the summer, in
cluding married Indians and women
and children as well as men, spent
all they had soon after getting it,
and a great number of them were
victims of excesive drinking and put
most of their money in liquor and
are now penniless and seeking local
assistance. The same condition is
said to exist in many other Alaskan
towns
The local council members are of
the opinion that it possibly would
be best to remove the Indians to
nearby reservations, such as Tyonek,
on Cook Inlet, and requiring that
they remain there and be looked af
ter by the federal government, pos
sibly by the Bureau of Indian Affairs
while they are unable to get work or
sustain themselves.
Supt Neeley of the Eklutna Indian
Schools was in Anchorage recently
making an investigation of condi
tions here, and it is hoped others ol
the Indian service and the federal
government in general will do some
thing for them soon, as the winter
has only started and many of them
are in distress already and an emer
gency exists.
Murray and Indian Work
Anent the Indian situation here,
and the Indian problem in other
parts of the territory, the views and
plans of Dr Vance B. Murray on
plans he has in mind are timely. The
Ketchikan Chronicle of recent date
refers to his visit there in work for
welfare of the Indians says:
With the realization of construc
tion of a hospital or sanitarium for
natives in this city failing to appear
the bureau of Indian affairs plans to
make other provisions for the care
of its’’ charges here.
“It has been pending and discuss
ed for over two years now,” Dr Van
ce B. Murray, medical director for
the bureau, explains, “and the need
for provision is too great to wait any
longer.”
Dr. Murray is in the city for a
short stop, inspecting affairs of the
bureau for the first-time since his
appointment. He arrived here on
the North Star from Juneau and
plans to leave in a day or two
for Wrangell. Conferences with lo
cal medical men and officials of the
bureau have engaged his time since
his arrival in Ketchikan.
He spent considerable time con
tacting representatives of natives of
the district, many of whom have
been in the city recently for the an
nual convention of the Alaska Nat
ive Brotherhood. As “the customers
of the services of the Bureau of In
dian Affairs,” their wishes as indic
ated during the convention will bear
I considerable weight in making deci
sions for them, he told them.
On his return to Juneau, Dr. Mur
I ray plans to make four specific re
commendations to the department
heads, the appointment of a local
doctor to serve as a special deputy
for the medical department of the

service, the appointment of a lo
cal dentist in a similar capacity, a
contract arrangement with the Ket
chikan General hospital to take care
of a specified minimum number of
native patients each year and the
establishment of medical provisions
in one of the west coast villages, eith
er Craig or Klawock.
In the latter instance Dr. Murray
cites the fact that natives there are
never assured of a medical attend
ant, especially in times when one is
most needed. The region is too poor
ly populated with white settlers to
warrant a doctor’s establishing a
practice there, depending on this
alone as a livelihood.
Resident Doctor
The plan is to appoint a resident
doctor for some town there, paying
him a minimum salary for part-time
attention to native patients. In ad
dition the need for minimum hospi
tal provisions is felt and will be
strongly recommended.
Regarding the appointment of a
local physician and a dentist for this
-city he stated that the appointment
would be a part time position in
each case, working in conjuction
with the local public health nurse of
the bureau.
Details of the appointments that
he will recommend were not dis
closed by Dr. Murray. The plans
|will be passed upon by higher offi
cials in the service before they can
| be considered assured, he explained.
A plan has been under considera
! tion whereby a number of full-time
; medical men were to have been pro
|vided for in the near future. Dr.
'Murray’s plan is to modify this, dis
(pensing with the full time men in
favor of making provisions for a
large number of part time appoint
ments to doctors already establish
ed in practices in the various cities
and villages in Alaska.
AHgreater good can be done this
way, he believes, at no greater out
lay of expenditures. In none of the
instances is a full-time appointment
required.
Dr. Murray is commissioned of
ficer of the United States public
health service and has spent 20
years in this capacity. He was
•'loaned-' to the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs last summer succeeding Dr. F.
S. Fellows.
Dr. Murray has an airplane of
his own in which he covered thou
sands of miles during the year, vis
iting various parts of the territory
in pursuit of his duties in the Indian
service.
He has been entitled the “Flying
Doctor” because of his practice of
using an airplane in making calls
about the territory. Todate he has
covered more than 10,000 miles in
90 hours.
He is attempting to show that
an economy can actually be effected
.in using a plane in the bureau’s med
ical work in the territory. In three
trips around the territory during a
year he plans to visit each individ
ual place containing humans at least
once and the larger places two and
three times a year.
One trip will be made on wheels
touching at all possible landings. An
other will be made on skiis, reaching
many of those omitted before, and
a third trip in the spring will ser
ve to reach points missed in the
first two trips.
