INDIAN WARDS
SUFFER FROM
NEED OF FOOD
REDDING, Cal., March 10 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Uncle Sam’s Indian
wards are troubled by the high cost
of living, according to Ike Jackson,
“ambassador” of the Pit River tribe,
whose reservation is in the moun
tains a few miles to the northeast
of here.
Jackson has just returned from
Washington, D. C., where he set forth
some of the problems of his tribes
men, and of northern California In
dians in general, before high offi
cials. He was accompanied on the
trip by Charles Green of Glenburn,
sometimes known as ‘‘Chief Grind
stone. Both are full flooded Indians.
The Pit River Indians contend that
the government owes them about
$5,500,000 for the lands they ceded
in a treaty signed in 1851. News
dispatches from Washington stated
that search was being made in the
archives of the White House for the
treaty, which, though signed, was
never ratified. The Indians hold that
it is none the less binding in honor.
‘‘W7e want money,” Jackson insists,
' but we won’t keep it very long- if
we get it. White man soon have it
all, for Indians’ hands have holes in
them.”
The red man declared that he was
listened to with attention by the
authorities at the capital, and was
treated kindly and considerately by
them. “But I had to greese the
wheels for them,’’ he added.
Jackson, whose home is in Kla
math Falls reservation, made a trip
through Modoc, Lassen, Plumas and
Shasta counties, Cal., visiting every
Pit River Indian and sizing up their
needs before he set out for Washing
ton.
“We want the Great Father (head
of government) to help the starving
and needy red men,” he said when
questioned in an interview, aided by
an interperter. He declared the In
dians on allotments are not able to
make their own living and the gov
ernment does not help them.
“We have lots of money in Wash
ington,” Jackson said, with reference
to the proceeds from the sale of tim
ber and grazing land, “but that does
not do the hungry Indians in Lassen,
Plumas, Modoc and Shasta counties
any good. It does not satisfy their j
hunger or keep their bodies warm.”
Jackson carries with him the skinj
of a mouse. He says he visits the1
cabin of Chief Buckskin Jack on
Hat creek. Buckskin Jack is living ta
the age of 90 years, but his ~’ood is
so scanty, avers Jackson, that the
mouse at his cabin died.
