Pronounced in one political cam- paign by Attorney General R gard as being “impossible,” Dele, Dimond was able to preserve the es- sential demands of the Tlingets and Haidas of southeastern Alaska ;and yet meet the objections of the Federal Government until the bill is ‘now a law. In brief the bill is based upon the Allegation that when the Unit- ed States bought Alaska from Rus- sia in 1867, it bought the “right to rule” and whatever property Russia actually owned, paying $7,200,000 for this. Russia, however, accord- ing to these Natives, owned or pos- sessed virtually nothing of this vast | gountry, most of which that na- tion had not even seen, such as the Prince of Wales country. Every part of this country was in actual pos- | sesgion, occupation and use of the| Natives, such as the most valuable | ‘!uh streams and vast areas for | hunting The United States in line with lits historic policy, disregarded the| property rights of these Natives and by its general land laws threw all such lands open to settlers undep‘;m Alentian |the general homestead laws and the trading and manufacturer’s site acts. The Indians were reduced to | the lands actually “under foob? such as actual villages, and houses. The fishing grounds were taken from them by laws giving everybody the (right to fish. These would be impossible and also unjust to demand back the lands and fish- ing rights so taken and so by this bill they ask that the National Government recompense them for this loss of property. This bill now permits them to enter such a suit {in the Court of Claims. This suit will be very expensive |then take Natjves recognize that it WHITTIER LEAVING ON INTERIOR TRIP M. 8.
