A public meeting was called for
Sept. 3rd, at Chitina, reagarding im
mediate relief for the Indians who
are starving in the Nabesna, Tanana,
Chistochena, White river, Shushanna,
Mentasla and Betchinita districts.
Some time ago Bishop Rowe present
ed the condition of these natives to
congress but received no satisfaction.
The condition of these starving peo
ple now is approaching a crisis. Sev
eral well known men from the in
terior, among them D. C. Sargent, and
John Paulson have sworn affidavits
regarding the serious condition that
confronts these Indians this coming
winter.
The principal food of the Alaskan
Indians (salmon) has all been caught
by white men with nets at the mouth
of the Yukon river, thus giving these
fish no chance to reach the inland
points.
Their only means of clothing have
been killed off by the head hunters
from the states—and by white trap
pers, who poison the small fur bear
ing animals.
On one occassion Mr. Sargeant
stopped at an Indian camp to obtain
some dried salmon for his dog, and
was unable to secure any. The In
dians told him they had caught only
5 salmon in the Betchinita river, and
8 in the Chistochena.
: The Chitina people as well as Mr.
land Mrs. Paul Schwartz, teachers of
the native school there, are doing
their best to get aid from the govern
ment. Mr. Sargeant is also taking the
matter direct to Washington, D. C.
Mr. Karollchuck, cartoonist and re
porter of the Seattle Times will bring
it before the people upon his arrival
there.
Immediate relief for these destitute
natives should at once be taken and
all contributions of clothing or food
left at the city hall will be forwarded
to Chitina and distributed by the com
mute there to the districts in need
of same. The need of these sufferers
is so imperative that the matter
should be taken up by the local cham
ber of commerce.
