THE ALASKA NATIVE SERVICE
PROGRAM
With the departure from Alaska of Don C. Foster
who has been area director of the Alaska Native
Service for the last six years and the introduction
of Hugh'Wade as chief in Mr. Foster’s place, this
might be a good time to review, briefly, the Alaska
Native Service program.
The overall objective of the Alaska Native Service
is to help the Alaska Natives make a successful ad
justment to a radically different economy that has
overtaken them. This calls for a relatively speedy
change from an economy of hunting, fishing and
limited agriculture to a high specialized industrial
life; from a system of exchange of goods by barter to
a complicated system of money values; from a com
munity plan of ownership and use of land and Q.ther
natural resources to a system of private ownership by
individuals or industrial groups.
We can still remember the names of men in the
Bureau of Education (which preceded the Alaska
Native Service 1907-1931) who had their part in set
ting standards of intelligent and interested leadership
among the Natives. There was Sheldon Jackson, W.
T. Loop, Charles Hawkesworth, who carried over to
the ANS, and recently Claude Hurst and Don Foster,
the departing chief.
In 1931, the Office of Indian Affairs took over the
problems of the Alaska Natives and thereafter the
facilities of the entire Indian Service were available
for helping the Natives. Headquarters were moved
from Seattle to Juneau,
When, in 1936 the Indian Reorganization Act was
made applicable to Alaska, it became possible for
Alaska Native groups to legally organize under demo
cratic procedures for carrying on corporate enter
prises such as community-owned sawmills, stores and
canneries. This also provided means of financing
loans to individuals or groups for educational or busi
ness purposes, In the absence of a money and private
economy In" the Natives’ culture, this kind of ex
perience has seemed to ANS to be particularly valuable
for the Natives’ successful adjustment to American
business life.
There followed in 1937 the development of an arts
and crafts department for promtion and sale of Na
tives’ craft work. In the same year the purchase of
all reindeer owned by non-natives was arranged.
Don Foster was transferred to Alaska Native
Service in 1944 after ten years in administrating work
with the Indian Service.
By 1944, the health service provided by the ANS
had expanded to 18 field nurses and six hospitals
with a total of 180 beds. During the following six
years, the Mt. Edgecumbe Medical Center was de
veloped with space for care of a total of 420 cases
and, with the completion of the ANS hospital now
under construction at. Anchorage, more than 400 more
beds wilfte added. Of this total over 600 beds will be
for tubercluar cases.
Systematic health instruction is carried on by
seven field nurses throughout their districts and Is
followed up regulairly by teachers in the ANS schools.
Closely associated with the health branch of the
ANS is the Native Resources program with its goals
of better foods, housing and higher financial income,
along with training in resources management. During
the six years that this branch has been functioning,
its program has included the expansion of Native
' owned fish canneries thacugh community organiza
j tions at Hydaburg, Angoon, Kake, Klawock and Met
i lakatla and the installation of a quick freeze and cold
I storage plant at Hydaburg.
The present reindeer program, since 1944, has en
couraged individual ownership of herds through loans
from the Government with repayment-in-kind. Though
La difficult and hazardous industry, due to problems
I of herding, it is a necessary one for the economic
welfare of some of the Eskimo groups for the future
development of certain areas in Alaska.
Other industries being developed for the northern
Esikmos are coal mining in the Barrow area, the utili
zation of jade, small sawmills and gardens.
To help the Natives find a constant market for
their ivory and other hand made articles, a cleaning
house was developed at Juneau under sponsorship
of the Native Resources branch of ANS.
Sixty-six Native groups have organized under the
Indian Reorganization Act since the provisions of the
Act were made applicable to Alaska. Twenty-one of
these groups have been organized since 1944 when Mr.
Foster became General Superintendent.
Under the Credit Section of Native Resources,
the number of individual and corporation loans which
enable the Native people to develop their own enter
prises has increased from 21 loans totalling $493,650
prior to 1944 to 63 loans, totalling $6,285,400 since that
time. The repayment record on these loans is good.
The most recent addition to the Resources pro
gram is the research on fisheries products with the
aim of developing year-round industries in this field.
Though many of the Native schools have become
a part of the Territorial school system, there were,
last year, 93 Native day schools employing 144 teach
ers and enrolling 4,354 pupils; 1,053 were enrolled in
three boarding schools and the Mt. Edgecumbe Hos
pital School—a total of 5,407 in all ANS schools.
In all ANS schools, emphasis is placed on com
munity development, including leadership applied to
all civic problems. Teachers serve not only as class
room instructors in English, health, economics, but
in their communities they are the chief representatives
or contact officials for Federal and Territorial services
such as law and order, welfare, health, industrial
development, etc.
High school and vocational training opportuni
ties for Alaska Natives have been more than doubled
by development of the Edgecumbe School since 1947,
yet there is still a large number of older Native chil
dren unable to continue high school work because of
lack of local schools or space in boarding schools.
In addition to academic courses leading to col
lege entrance, for professions or to other vocational
training, Edgecumbe provides post-grade courses in
diesel engineering, navigation, boat building, arts antf
crafts,,etc.! and during the three years the school has
been in operation, 96 students have been graduated
from the regular high school courses.
Wrangell Institute, an elementary boarding school,
is always crowded to the limit of ,, 220 children for
which it has space, and has a long waiting lis.t of
other children in desperate .need, .of home, and school
care.
Educational testing programs, nutritional work
ind training in practical home economics are addi
tional phases of the ANS school program.
The Alaska Native Service provides for the trans
oortation of supplies and personnel from the States
and to and from its schools and hospitals with the
North Star, a new knot-type ship of 5600 tons, which
this year replaced the older 1400-ton North Star.
The new ship is especially equipped for the needs
af ANS. A nurse travels with the ship to assist the
Natives in the remote villages the North Star visits.
Another branch of the Alaska Native Service is
the construction division which has the responsibility
of building and maintaining all government buildings
required by its many educational and medical services.
Assistance has also been given in the recent housing
projects at Barrow and Hoonah.
All of this is a part of the ANS endeavor to assist
the Native American people to become successful
participants in the American demdcracy, to "help them
be healthy, self-supporting citizens under the new
industrial conditions, able to use the language and
tools common to people who are now around them.
While much has been attained toward the Natives'
successful integration into the changing society, cer
tain-areas yet have need of assistance in their adap
tations to a social economy very different from that
to which they have, for many centuries, been
accustomed.
The Alaska Native Service maintains that it Is
its duty to help each Native group to a successful
adjustment to the industrial age.

INCUMBENTS HANG
ON TO POSITIONS
IN STATE VOTING
(By Associated Press)
In primary elections in three
states yesterday, most of the "ins”
stayed in, or with the vote still
being counted, looked likely to win
their races for renomination.
In all candidates were picked for
54 House seats in New York, Mis
sissippi, Wyoming and Delaware.
Party conventions Sept. 6 and 7
will name New York's candidates
for governor and U. S', senator.
Only five out of New York’s 45
congressmen faced opposition in
yesterday’s balloting. , ,
Winning renomination were tr^t1
eran upstate Republicans -Edwin' A,
Hall of the 37th District, W'. ^te^
lin Cole of the 39th, and Clar^pdfl
E. Kilburn of the 34th; and Dem
ocrat Louis B. Heller of the 7th in
Brooklyn. 1 '
Hall's victory was decided today.
In a four Way race, he won over
his nearest rival, Lester R. Mosher,
by only 254 votes.
Democrat Joseph L. Pfeifer, who
has represented Brooklyn’s 8th
District for 16 years was defeated
by a political newcomer, attorney
Victor L. Anfuso.
Unofficial returns from other
states showed:
Mississippi: Rep. Arthur Win
stead (5th) apparently won the
Democratic denomination—which is
the same thing as election in Mis
sissippi—over four opponents. He
was attacked for his vote against
economic aid to Korea and bis
record on national defense.
Rep. Frank A. Barrett defeated
three opponents for the Republican
nomination for governor.
Former Rep. John J. McIntyre
was ahead of two opponents for
the Democratic nomination for
governor.
Delaware: Delaware Democrats
picked Henry Winchester of Bran
dywine Hill as the party’s candid
date against Republican Rep. J.
