KOI < *TK1? INDIAN'S W ANT
Ti? BRCrtMK (1TOKSH
The con (frfncf of Indians and
teachers held last week in Juneau
tvuned a ?ot of resolutions declar
ing that (he Indian wm entitled to
some Wtal.it Ion defining his rights,
and making It possible that a few
of them could become cttliens of the
I'nited States Here are the reso
lutions
It is the paradoxical position of
the Alaskin Indian that he is not
.? ritixen nor an alien, nor. like the
i>laina Indian, a ward of the gov
ernment The only law relative to
the subject leaves the question of
his citiienship. together with his
property rights. Involved in doubt
.md uncertainty
"We believe that there is absol
utely no reasonable ground for
doubt that there are many Indians
? ho by reason of their ability to
read and write Knglish. their adopt
ion of civilited customs and manner
of life, their knowledge ot and con
formity to the government laws,
and their manifest loyalty to the
Hag of the I'nited States, are quali
fied for American citiienship. and
?e believe that it is a gross Injus
tice to withhold It from them or to
leave them in an indefinite position.
"We, therefore earnestly ask you
for your assistance in securing the
ivassage ot a law granting ( 1 ) full
citiienship to those Indians who are
qualified and providing for the is
suance to each of them, whether he
is of the Tsimpsean. Hydah. Thlin
got, or of any other of the aborig
inal peoples of Alaska, a certificate
of cititenship. so there shall be no
?loubt of his status; and (2) grant
ing of the property rights of Ameri
can cititens without the right of suf
frage to all Indians in Alaska who
do not meet the qualifications for
full cltixenship. Provided that any
Indian not born in Alfska must
have resided within the limits of
the territory of Alaska for a period
of not tow than five year* before
such citlienshlp can be granted.
"The Kngllsh speaking Indian*
In attendance upon thin conference
have repeatedly expressed the opin
ion that *he government should en
act a compulsory school attendance
law for the schools under the bur- 1
eau of education. We heartily con
cur in this Opinion and earnestly
recommend the enactment of such a
lav.
"The fish traps have unnecessar
ily interfered with the opportunity
of the older Indians to procure a
livelihood In their own country. We
unanimously uige the passage of a
law abolishing fish traps in the wa
ters of Alaska "
RKSKR\ \Tlo\ t'RKATKD FOR
HVI>ARl'R<] IXIMAXS
