‘Are We Supposed to Drown
Or Something?’ Asks Native
Stevens Village, Alaska
Dear Sirs:
We are concerned about the Ram
part Dam at which the white man
are gonna put in down below us.
The project down there will ruin
our hunting, trapping and fishing
on which we have lived on for so
many years.
It will flood our land on which
wo make our living on. We don’t
know whats going on in the other
villages about this Rampart Dam.
I am pretty sure we will all say
no if we have to vote or do some
thing about this dam.
And what would the government
do about our land? Just go head
and build this huge dam and never
let us do anything about it. All

it takes monotony to finance it. —

the talked I hear is the land will
be flooded and what are we sup
posed to do, drown or something?
Right now is the time to say
something about it.
What will become of our future
people. We can’t let them down,
we have to think for our self and
by our self.
Far as I know that the people will
wake up too late. They either be
under water or on top of the water.
I don’t know.
I hear that the fish and game
men talked with some one here
about the dam and what’s gonna
happen after they complete the
dam.
And told this person to write to
Congress in Washington, D. C.
Frank Donalson of Anhorage, Al
aska had very good points about
this dam. I am greatful for what
he wrote in.
That's the reason why I am writ
ing to Tundra Times.
What will become of our trap
lines on the mighty Yukon, the
trapping cabins along the river, the
furs we catch on which we make
our living on in the winter time.
We all know that there isn’t any
jobs for us in the winter. We also
enjoyed living in fish camps, which
we have lived on for generations.
And the hunting we do in the
fall, on the river, that’s the only
place we could hunt moose.
We get one moose per family or
two if we have too. Maybe more,
because some person have large
familys.
So please, if you have or knows
anybody who knows about this
dam, write in care of Village Coun
cil, Stevens Village, Alaska.
Sincerely,
Allen John

Chief Joseph Said, 'Let Me Be a Free Man' i
From a speech given by Attor
ney General Robert F. Kennedy
before the National Congress of
American Indians, held in Bis
mark, N. D., in September.)
“Perhaps no man has better de
fined that goal of freedom than the
immortal Chief Joseph of the Nez
Perce Tribe.
“In 1877, after one of the last ma
jor Indian wars, the Chief made a
statement to the troops to whom he
had surrendered; and I believe he
spoke for all Indians, then and
now.
"Let me be a free man, he said,
“— free to travel, free to stop; free
to work, free to trade where I
choose, free to choose my own tea
chers, free to follow the religion of
my fathers, free to think, talk, and
act for myself — and I will obey
every law or submit to the penalty.
“Whenever the white man treats
the Indian as he treats his own
kind, then we will have no mor®
wars.
“We shall all be alike — brothers
of one father and one mother, with
one sky above us, and one country
around us, and one government for
all. For this day the Indian race
is waiting and jraying."
“There is very little I can add
to those eloquent words, except to
say that I believe the day of Chief
Joseph's vision is not far off.
