the granting of administration of the
estate of said decedent The petition
of Kah-bay-o-ge-mah, having been

FRANK D. BEAULJKU,
Attorney /or Petitioner,
Freedom For Indians.
Wau-ke-kau-kaugan expressed a
laudable ambition at the council xyf
Chippewas at Duluth
when he said the\
recently"
all up to the Indians, whenever spent along the Chippewa river.
they choose to become citizens and
acquire the same rights and be
Americans. Up to the present,
some of the tribes have preferred
to maintain their tribal organiza
tions and live as separate nations
inside the territory of tnV United
States. They hold land without
being taxed. The state of Minne
sota will give them votes when
ever they submit to taxation.
It is an irrational arrange
ment that Indians of intel
ligence should maintain the status
of alien, while persons of foreign
birth may become citizens in five
years, but the practical difficulty
is that the United States govern
ment has made treaties with the
Indians as tribes. No Indian can
retain the advantage he gets from
tribal allowances as a member of
tribe and at the same time be a
citizen. If he becomes a citizen
he must be responsible for himself
and cease to be a ward of the gov
ernment. -:y-..i-
Without doubt the government
is partly to blame for maintaining
Indians in tribal conditions by
delay in settling claims made
under treaties. While some In
dians probably have contributed
to such misuuderstandings, there
are whites who would be out of
government employment if final
balances were drawn and accounts
settled. The sooner that can be
done and the Indians placed on
their own resources, the better it
will be for them and for northers
Minnesota St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
In the above the Pioneer Press
voices the unanimous sentiment of
both the Indians and whites in
Minnesota. The principal draw
back to final settlement of the
affairs of the Minnesota Chippe
was with the Federal government
is that such a move would throw a
horde of useless employees in theRobert
Indian Service in Minnesota out.df
a job. The great majority of the
Chippewa people in this state are
now, in a sense, citizens, and
taxbanks
payers, with possibly the excep
tion of a small number on the
Reddistrict
Lake reservation^ They have the
right to vote and are accorded the
same protections other citizens
of the state, and they should be
given their money and property
which is now held by the Federal
gevernment. But that stumbling
block to Indian rights and justice
the Indian Bureau, is making
frantic efforts to retain its hold on
the money and property of the
Minnesota Chippewas in order t6
perpetuate their domination among
the Indians of the State of Minne
sota. As- the the Pioneer Press
says: "Thersooner a final balance
is drawn#nd accounts* settled and
the Indians placed on their own
resources,, the better it will be fori
the Indians and for the State of
Minnesota."
