Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirty-Ninth Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners: To the Secretary of the Interior, 1907 The Indians thus to be reached stand scattered all along the line of progress from absolute savagery up through the successive stages of barbarism and semi-civilization to the well educated, polished, and astute leaders of the Five Civilized Tribes. It is not to be wondered at that "the Indian problem," with its three centuries of history on a continent of which the Indians feel that they have been dispossessed by white intruders, and with the first century of our national life marked by so many deeds of injustice and unfairness toward Indians that it stands branded as a "century of dishonor;" it is not to be wondered at that "the Indian problem" is not yet fully solved, notwithstanding the conscientious and faithful efforts of the last thirty years in legislation for Indians and in the administration of Indian affairs. For forty years, since President Grant inaugurated his "peace policy," the one aim professed by the Government of the United States in its dealings with Indians has been to fit the Indians for lives of intelligent and useful citizenship in the Christian civilization of our people. Stripped of all its accidental complications with the ownership of land and the administration of great tribal funds, the essential problem of the Government has always been, How can we educate the Indians, old and young, for citizenship? "How can we bring these native races into the self-governing and liberty-loving life of the American people?" No other nation in the history of the world has ever set for itself precisely such a problem, in an effort to deal justly, kindly, and helpfully with conquered races of aborigines, while fitting them for and receiving them into full citizenship. It is natural and almost inevitable that a board of intelligent citizens, charged with the duty of considering and promoting the welfare of the Indians while cooperating with the Government in plans of administration and legislation, should year after year in their annual reports lay especial stress upon the work of education. Education in its larger sense is the key and the only key to the solution of the Indian problem. By education, and only by education, can North American Indians, old and young, become intelligent American citizens. While the work of education is by no means limited to the school room and the school farm, it is true that in dealing with the North American Indians, as in all other efforts to uplift a race of men, "what you would have come out in the life of the race or the nation, you must get into the schools for the children and the youth" Those who have stood face to face with the impregnably fortified pride and prejudice of men who have grown old in the tribal relations and isolated savagery of barbarous life know how exceedingly difficult is the work of changing and reforming the middle-aged and older Indians. In all efforts to make good citizens out of tribal Indians there is need to recognize the principle so strikingly uttered by Horace Mann in the middle of the last century, when, in emphasizing the need of universal education for the children of America, he declared, in eulogizing the work of the teacher of young children: "Better one former than ten reformers."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior: For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1902 Cutting ofl' Rations. - In previous reports some space was given to the discussion of the Indian's progress and the difficulties to be over come on his way to civilization. It was pointed out that among the obstacles to his self-support the first and perhaps the principal one was the then prevailing ration system, which was justly condemned as encouraging idleness with its attendant vices and as foreign in its results to the very purpose for which it was designed. At the same time, while an evil, it was admitted to be a necessary evil, to be endured only while the Indian was learning the art of self-support, or at least put in a way where, by the exercise of ordinary industry, he could support himself. The continuance, however, of the practice of the indiscriminate issue of rations to all alike, without regard to their worldly condition, was earnestly opposed, and it was laid down as a correct rule of action that only the old and helpless should be sup ported, while the able-bodied, if not already self-supporting, should be given the opportunity to work and should then be required to take care of themselves. Faith without works is dead. Realizing this the office set to work to show by its acts the sincerity of its belief.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs: To the Secretary of the Interior for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1929 When the War Department was created by Congress under the act of August 7, 1789, the duties assigned to it included those "relative to Indian affairs." A Bureau of Indian Affairs was organized in the War Department on March 11, 1824, with Thomas L. McKenney as its chief, and among the duties to which he was assigned were: The administration of the fund for the civilization of the Indians, under regulations established by the department, the examination of the claims arising out of the laws regulating the intercourse with Indian tribes, and the ordinary correspondence with superintendents, agents, and subagents. He was succeeded September 30, 1830, by Samuel S. Hamilton, whose successor about one year later was Elbert Herring. By the act of July 9, 1832, there was created in the War Department the office of Commissioner of Indian Affairs, who, subject to the Secretary of War and the President, should have "the direction and management of all Indian affairs and all matters arising out of Indian relations." On June 30, 1834, an act was passed "to provide for the organization of the Department of Indian Affairs." Under this enactment certain agencies were established and others abolished, and provision was made for subagents, interpreters, and other employees, the payment of annuities, the purchase and distribution of supplies, etc. This may be regarded as the organic law of the Indian Department. When the Department of the Interior was created by act of March 3, 1849, the Bureau of Indian Affairs was transferred thereto, and hence passed from military to civil control. Section 441 of the Revised Statutes provides that "the Secretary of the Interior is charged with the supervision of public business relating to the Indians." Section 463 of the Revised Statutes reads: "The Commissioner of Indian Affairs shall, under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior and agreeable to such regulations as the President may prescribe, have the management of all Indian affairs, and of all matters arising out of Indian relations."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs: To the Secretary of the Interior for the Year 1873 The wandering bands of Chippewas in Minnesota require the atten tion Of the Government. There are two permanent reservations in the State, at Leech Lake and White Earth, and the different bands remain ing among the settlements of Pembina and otter-tail should be gath ered upon the White Earth reservation. For these bands the Govern ment has acquired, by purchase from the Mississippi Chippewas, the right to settle upon this reservation but in order to establish them there a special appropriation will be required. The appropriation of made by last Congress for the removal of the Pembinas, being too lim ited for the purpose, has not been used. The Mille Lac band of Chippewas in Minnesota remains in its anom alous position. They have sold their reservation, retaining a right to occupy it during good behavior. With this title to the soil it is not deemed expedient to attempt permanent improvements at Mille Lac, unless a title to the reservation can be returned to them on condition that they surrender to Government all moneys acquired in considera tion of their cession of the Mille Lac reservation. If this cannot be done, their Iydians should be notified that they belong at White Earth, and be required to' remove. In their present location, on its present tenure, nothing can be done looking toward their civilization. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior, 1890 The first authentic information we have in regard to the canning of hermetically sealed goods dates back to the first part of the present century, 1810, when a work was written on the subject by Appert, and published by authority of the French government. Successful experiments had already been made in this direction, but we owe to Appert the discovery and clear exposition of the principles that underlie the beautiful processes of what has grown into one of the most important of modern industries. But conceding to the discoverer of this great industry all the honor we owe him, we must note that there have been so many improvements on his methods that his book is now of little use to the practical canner, and is interesting chiefly as a bit of history. But little progress was made until 1825, when Thos. Kensett and Ezra Daggett obtained a patent from the United States on an improvement in the art of preserving.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior, for the Year 1878 Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, Washington, November 1, 1878. Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith the annual report of the Indian Bureau. Changes And Improvements. Many changes have been made since my last report in the methods and management of both the office and agency business. Rules previously established have been enforced, and accountability on the part of employes and of those who have had business with the office has been insisted upon, and the affairs of the office generally have been put upon a strictly business basis. The property and cash accounts of agents have been closely scrutinized and the service purified of such agents and employes as have been found unfaithful to their trusts or inefficient in their management. Claims have been critically examined, and as a result large sums of money have been saved to the government. Contractors have been held to the fulfillment of their contracts, and attempts to put upon the government inferior goods have been met by deductions which have fully protected its interests and have served to deter others from making similar experiments. Some dishonest contractors and employes have been and are now being prosecuted and convicted. Many attempted frauds have been detected and thwarted, and some which had been successful in previous years have been discovered, and it is hoped that the perpetrators may yet be brought to justice. There have been thirty-five new appointments of agents, and it is believed that most of the changes will prove of great benefit to the service. Specific and detailed instructions as to the manner of inspecting, weighing, and issuing cattle, flour, and other supplies have been given, also as to the disposition of funds and the keeping and rendering of accounts at the various agencies. The attention of agents has been called to the necessity of bringing their Indians to self-support at an early day, and education in the fields has been made a prominent feature in the teaching of the school children.
