Sioux Indians Confer on Land Compensation. A council of Sioux Indians, rep resentatives from all the reserva tions in South Dakota, was held at the Crow Creek Agency the first of this month for a final con ference on the Sioux Indians' claim to compensation for the Black Hills territory. Representatives of the Government were present at the council and it is expected that some settlement will be reached as a result of the meeting. The Sioux Indians make the claim that the Black Hills section was taken from them without com pensation and that they are en titled to several million dollars from the Government for the big tract. 1920 Christmas Seal Sale Launched.

Congressman Steenerson Addresses White Earth Audience. Congressman Halvor Steenerson arrived in our village at 1 p. m. Tuesday and addressed a good sized audience in the town hall on the political issues of the day. In conludmg his remarks Mr. Steenerson dwelt for some time on local matters and which are of such vital interest to progressive members of the reservation. While he was very evasive regarding the legislation now pending before Congress, he did state, however, that whether elected or not, he would still be a member of Con gress during the coming winterv and that he would favor legislation that would give the competent members of the reservation their property and money and withdraw them forever from any more supervision by the Indian Bureau,. In a short discussion on the merits of the Ellsworth Bill Mr. Steener son showed that he was not familiar with it and had been mis informed regarding its purpose. In the matter of the Red Lake question, Mr. Steenerson said that he wonld favor this, controversy being settled by the courts, as in that way it would insure justice to all concerned. STARS AND STRIPES. You want the Indians to love the flag. How can they love the flag if you do not give them the rights and privileges that the flag sym bolizes? When we say this we mean that the Indians do not en joy the true meaning of that most inspired emblem that stands for freedom, equality, democracy, humanity and justice. Would to God that the public would awaken and see that the Indian race is shut off from enjoying any *f these great principles. News of White Earth and* Vicinity.

Beaulieu attend ed the hearing on the Status Roll of White Earth Allottees before Sr. Judge Page Morris at Fergus Falls last Saturday. We under stand that the attorney employed by a number of self-styled full bloods who were protesting the roll as now made, on the ground that they were on the roll as mixed bloods when in reality they were full bloods, was unable to convince the Judge that his clients were full blood Indians. Judge Morris emphasized the fact that this matter had gone far enough on seutiment, and that any ob iections raised now regarding any person's status as it appears on the roll must be substantiated by facts and not sentiment. The attorney for those who protesting against the roll was given,30 days in which to produce the facts if he had any.

MMMMMIMWM*MMWMft#IWIM** (To THE TOMAHAWK) In trying to receive recognition from the white race, the Indian race has been compelled to present a false attitude to the world and again come under criticism, (for it is one of the weaknesses of some races to criticise and not look to know). When Indians come before us we expect to see them attired in all the colors and trappings they can put on. We expect to see them at one and the same time wearing war bonuets and smoking the pipe of peace. In the very exuberance of their life and love we expect to see them dance the death dance and in planting time to dance the harvest dance, six months before the harvest moon is ripe. By our demands we have sadly misplaced ourselves in the great universe.* while with the Indian race, every act of their lives is in accord with some expression of nature, ex pression is reverence and recogni tion of the Great Spirit. Who then, is it that comes to the Indians to teach them to be rever ant one day out of seven, when ALL days are sacred. to them? Who would teach them it is God's day when to the Indians ALL days are God's? We have observed that the spirit of the Indian is one to be studied, that we should look to know what they mean, and not rush to con clusions as to what is meant by their activities. Watch them in their seasons and not demand that they violate every law of nature to give you a show of something that you can in no sense comprehend. For would a naturalist go out in winter and demand of the birds to go through their mating season because it suited his fancy Would he disturb a hive of bees in an effort to see the queen make her flight so that he could study the ways of bees before the hive was ripe for such an event? Would the flower unfold its petals to the sun before it had a stem on which to stand, simply because the botanist wished it? No, my brother, he goes out in the season of the mating of the birds, the flight of the bees, and the bloom of the plants and pati- One Year $1.50 #^^iiiy^g*&i?i&ji-i^Ssii^ tes^d*0M Leecy's ently waits and watches the natural process if he would know their secrets. Years and years have passed and the Indian race has been living true to nature's heart, patiently waiting the true interpretation of the white manthat he may be understood and have his true place in the round of evolution. WHEN WE HAVE LEARNED FROM THE INDIAN what PA TIENCE, REVERAECE and RECOGNITION are, then, and only then, will we be in a {position to be taught the great truth's that are common knowledge to the mighty Indian race.
