ALASKA NATIVE
BROTHERHOOD
CONVENTION
Metlakathla Non ember
22 to 24 11)15
Second Session
itc account of the crowding of
the forenoon session the working
committees of the convention were
- T pointed by the chair the first
thing in the afternoon session. The
committees were on Arrangement,
j Resolution, Citizenship, Education,
Finance and place of next rneet
i v.;.-. The members, two on each,
t were in the following order: H.
' Murchison. D. Kinninook, F. Price.
P. Kinninook, E. Marsden, F. Mer
r. W. Jackson, C. Worthington,
R. Young. J. Simpson, E. Marsden.
The next in order was the brief
reports from the delegates, and
■ cse ere given by A. Wanamaker,
F Mercer, C. Worthington, G. Me
Kay, P. Kinninook and H. Murrhi
;va. We can only take these very
;• resting reports and mix them
• rod digest them as you do a
’ -h of Irish stew. From them at
first hand we get a glimpse of the
field from the standpoint of
F:e native. We see clearly the en
dure, cements and discouragements
if the .young men in the various
■arks of native life. Altogether
:ha reports showed that the case of
the Alaskan Indian was not entire
>5* hopless, but that through wise
ar.d upright consul his daily condi
* rs might yet be advanced and
bettered.
The subject of the Alaska Native
Brotherhood was the next order of
the afternoon session, and this
was discussed from the various
speakers. The lines of discussion
followed the origin, necessity, mean
»if s and the future of the organiza
tion.
We cannot give all the summary
of thh discussion. Suffice it to
.■rthat the movement started from
(a very small beginning about three
years ago in connection with a
teacher’s conference at Juneau. Be
f ire that time the younger native
generation of the coast had felt
•fi-i- some concerted movement was
r- i ssary among themselves where
h tkev might present their cause
;.rd prevailing grievances to the
r.uthcrities and receive from them
; "ration and intelligent and sympa
thetic help.
Furthermore, it was felt that to
h !n themselves effectively in their
struggles for a civilized life the
' should join hands together
and move onward.
When the few native young men
gathered at Juneau at the time they
were addressed by the Governor, the
District Judge, the District Attor
ney and the District Superintendent
of the Government Indian Schools.
These gentlemen gave them every
word o? encouragement and friend
ly advice, 2nd pointed out to them
the right road toward attaining
their goal.
In the opinion of the delegates
the present organization seems to
be a necessity. It has no leanings
to * • ’ any particular religious
body, nor 'is it under the influence
of any political party. Most of the
deter ? would eliminate any and
■r Fa of a lodge in connection
w. h it. but make it a popular move
ment to assist and encourage all
‘he rs2t:ve races of Alaska toward
reaching a civilized life.
The brethern recognized all the
past efforts of every religious soci
* tty and every school organization
for the uplift and good of the
nu"Fes. and also every wc 1 inten
| tior.ed ruling and effort of the
| authorities for the betterment of
; the different Indian tribes of Alas
{ka. All these have helped and are
1 helping the natives. But a popular
| movement of acme kind among the
younger native racejs of Alaska
; themselves has always been a neees
■ sity. ami that has been answered in
i part in the Alaska Native Brother
J hood.
The space of life that can be al
; lotted to the present organisation
! depends entirely on the attitude the
| natives themselves take towards it,
and the benefits they obtain from
! its existence. According to the
speakers, if they advance it for
mere personal gratification; join it
as a shield against wrong doings:
model it to take the place of some
other Indian custom, or inject in
to it frivolous things that are In
jurious to good character and repu
tation, the movement is and ought
to be very short-lived.
The Brotherhood Constitution
that was drawn up hurriedly three
years ago is to be revised and be
made to conform to the needs of
the organisation. A committee was
therefore appointed by the chair
to d<V- the work and report at the
next year’s convention of the Broth
erhood. The revision committee is
composed of F. Mercer. E. Marsden
W. Jackson. C. Worthington, H.
Murchison and R. Walton.
It is to be noted here that at time
some of the native speakers became
f very eloquent; others naturally wit
; ty; while others took on the air of
the proverbial Indian solemnity and!
soberness. Most of the speeches
(were very pointed and there were
no wast of words in all the dis- ]
j cussions.
