Shorn Reply From
Woman In Craig
A few weeks ago the Valdez
Miner published an editorial en
titled. “Lo, the Poor Indian", and
it was copied in an issue of the
Ketchikan Fishing News. Now
comes a reply written to the
Fishing News by Edith R. Ander
sen, president of the Craig, Al
aska Native Sisterhood. It is as
follows:
"Lo—the poor white man of
Alaska!”
“It is true the Alaska Indians
do get free schooling, hospitaliza
tion to a certain extent, but as
far as Indians drawing their ra
tions it is unknown in Southeast
ern Alaska.
The only time they get any
thing near a ration is from the
Red Cross and then a family
must be thoroughly investigated
ss to pedigree. And one will of
ten notice a Red Cross placed in
the window of an Indian's home;
he has learned to place it there
from the white man. Somehow
the Indian is constantly being re
minded of adopting the white
man’s ways. Of how he has learn

“I do wish the Indian would
try and adopt the finer traits of
the white man. And so far as
taxes are concerned, the Indian
also suffers from that.
“So far as the whites of Alas
ka being poor, it is news to me.
I was just wondering what could
be done to prevent so many poor
white families from flocking up
here each summer, causing the
Alaska Indian to give up more of
his share. Who operates the large
concerns in Alaska? If it's an In
dian it’s very unusual. The white
man tries in every way to put
limitations on whatever the In
dian undertakes.
“The Indian understands just
about how much love the poli
tician has for them. But some
how’ the color of the votes and
the money seem to be the same
as that of the white man. What
causes that?
"Perhaps if the white man had
not come to Alaska it would still,
maintain its abundance of game,
fish and fur. Nowadays the Alas
ka Indian must compete with the
skill of the white man.
( “As far as having a market
jfor their fur I have noticed the
] Indians must still contest with
clever buyers. You know it takes
money to buy white man’s whisk

ALMER RYDEEN, Registei
poor Indian lawyer. William Paul,
is concerned, I just wonder if
he couldn’t trace back four or
five years and see if he has act
; ed any different from any other
Alaska white man.
“I don’t think the Alaska In
dian is as lazy as the Alaska
white man seems to place him.
Because monkey sees monkey
does. And the Alaska white man
is very ambitious.

entitled ‘Lo, the Poor Indian.' ”

RE GOVERNMENT AID
(Valdez Miner)
Apparently we touched a raw
spot when w'e stated in a recent
editorial that the Alaska Indian
was much better off ecomonically
than his white brother, as the In
dians received aid for hospitali
zation. schooling and social se
curity, while whites had to hus
tle for their groceries or marry
an Indian. We still maintain the
Indian has all the better of it.
His children can go to govern-1
ment maintained schools where ,
they can learn deportment, and
learn everything but hew to earn
a living.
We refuse to differentiate rs to
which race has the lazier popula
tion. At times it would be im
possible to draw a line. The
whites have passed on all their
diseases and vices to the Indians,
who, instead of shunting them
off to some other race, have im
proved on them. It is true that
the Indian has been taken for a
ride when it comes to fishing
rights, and in many other instan

ces, but this is probably done to
teach them self-denial and un
selfishness, as we are certain it is
not the intention of the trader to
make capital of the Indian’s im
providence.
So far as we have seen after a
half life time spent in the North
the only time the Indian’s worth
is really recognized is just before
election. Then he is patted on
the back, told what a good fellow
he is, and is asked for his vote.
Like many a white man, he falls
for the hooey and is sunk.
No. Miss or Mrs. Andersen, if
you are one of the downtrodden
race we sympathize with you. If
you are a white girl we extend
more sympathy. But you can
bet your last white chip that the
Indian will never get what is
coming to him so long as he is
worth plucking—and allows him
self to be plucked.
