'NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Ainska Newspapers, 1411 | fourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash. Wednesday, August 23, 1950 THE ALASKA NATIVE SERVICE PROGRAM With the departure from Alaska of Don C. Foster who has -been..area .director of the Alaska Native last six years and the introduction ‘chijef in Mr. Foster's place, this might be a good time to review, briefly, the Alaska Native Service program. The overall objective of the Alaska Native Service is to help the Alaska Natives make a successful ad- justment to a radically different economy that has overtaken them. This calls for a relatively speedy change from an economy of hunting, fishing and limited agriculture to a high specialized industrial life; from a system of exchange of goods by barter to a complicated system of money values; from a com- munity plan of ownership and use of land and qther natural resources to a system of private ownership by individuals or industrial groups. We can still remember the names of men in the Bureau of Education (which preceded the Alaska Native Service 1907-1931) who had their part in set- ting standards of intelligent and interested leadership among the Natived. ‘There wa$ Sheldon Jackson, W. T. Loop, Charles Hawhesworth who carried over w the ANS, and recently Claude Hurst and Don Foster, the departing chief. In 1931, the Office of Indian Affairs took over the problems of the Alaska Natives and thereafter the facilities of the entire Indian ‘Service were available for helping the Natives. Headquarters were moved from Seattle to Juneau. When, in 1936 the Indian Reorganization Act was made applicable ‘to Alaska, it. became possible for Alaska Native groups to legally organize under demo- cratic procedures for carrylng on corporate enter- prises such as community-owned sawmills, stores and canneries. This also provided means of financing Joans to individuals or groups for educational or busi- ness purposgs; In the absence of a money and private economy i the' ‘Natives' culture, this kind of ex- perience has seemed to ANS to be particularly valuable for the ‘Natives' successful adjustment to American business life. There followed in 1937 the development of an arts and crafts department for promtion and sale of Na- tives' craft work. In the same year the purchase of all reindeer owned by non-natives was arranged. Don Foster was transferred to. Alaska Native Service in 1944 after ten years in admiinistrating, work with the Indian Service. By 1944, the health service provided by the ANS had expanded to 18 field nurses and six hospitals with a total of 180 beds. During the following six years, the Mt. Edgecumbe Medical Center was de- veloped with space for care of a total of 420 cases and, wi the completion of the ANS hospital now under cw afiAnchorage, more than 400 more beds wi addéd. Of this total over 600 beds will be for tubercluar cases. Systematic health instruction is carried on by seven field nurses throughout their districts and’1s followed up regularly by teachers in ‘the ANS schools., Closely associated with the health branch of the ANS is the Native Resources program with its goals e s JUNEAU SINGERS WILL PRESENT 2 CONCERTS | President | 1nlong with training in resources management. its program has included the expansion of Native- owned fish canneries thwcugh community organiza- | tions at Hydaburg, Angoon, Kake, Klawock and Met- lakatla and the installation of a quick freeze and cold storage plant at Hydaburg. The present reindeer program, since 1944, has en- couraged individual ownership of herds through loans from the Government with repayment-in-kind. Though ia difficult and hazardous industry, due to problems |of herding, it is a necessary one for the economic | welfare of some of the Eskimo groups for the future development of certain areas in Alaska. Other industries Peing developed for the morthern | Esikmos are coal mining in the Barrow area, the utili- | zation of jade, small sawmills and gardens. To help the Natives find a constant market for their ivory and other hand made articles, a clearing house was. developed at Juneau under sponsorship of the Native Resources branch of ANS. Sixty-six Native groups have organized under the Indian Reorganization Act since the provisions of the Act were made applicable to Alaska. Twenty-one of these groups have been organized since 1944 when Mr. Foster became General Superintendent. Under the Credit Section of Native Resources, the number of individual and cérporatian loans which enable the Native people to develop their own enter- prises has increased from 21 loans totalling $493,650 prior to 1944 to 63 loans, totalling $6,285,400 since that time. The repayment record on these loans is good. The most recent addition to the Resources pro- gram is the research on fisheries products with the aim of developing year- round industries in this field. Though many of the Native schools have become a part of the Territorial school system, there were, last year, 93 Native day schools employing 144 teach- ers and enrolling 4,354 pupils; 1,053 were enrolled in fhree boarding schools and the Mt, Edgecumbe Hos- pital School—a total of 5407 in all ANS schools. In all ANS schools, emphasis is placed on com- munity development, including leadership applied to all civic problems. Teachers serve not only as class- room instructors in English, health, economics, but in their comrunities they are the chief representatives or contact officials for Federal and Territorial services such as law and order, welfare, health, industrial development, etc. High school and vocational training opportuni- ties for Alaska Natives have been more than doubled oy development of the Edgecumbe School since 1947, yet there is still a large number of older Native chil- dren unable to continue high school work because of lack of local schools or space in boarding schools. In addition to academic courses leading to col- lege entrance, for professions or to other vocational training, Edgecumbe provides post-! -grade courses in diesel engxPeermg, navigation, (boat building, arts ané crafls,,etc., and’ during the three years the school has been in operation, 96 students have been graduated /ARC FINISHES REPAIRS ON LOWE RIVER BRIDGE | Of special interest to truck op- from the regular high school courses. ‘Wrangell Institute, an elementary boarding school, is always crowded to the limit: of ;220 children for which it has space, and has a long waiting list of other children in desperate seed..of home,apd .school care. Educational testing programs. nutritional ind training in practical home economics are addi- tional phases of the ANS school program. The Alaska Native Service provides for the trans- nortation of supplies and personnel from the States and to and from its schools and. hospitals with the North Star, a new knot-type ship of 5600 tons, which this year replaced the older 1400-ton North Star. The new ship is especially equipped for the needs of ANS. A nurse travels with the ship to assist the Natives in the remote villages the North Star visits. Another branch of the Alaska Native Service is the construction division which has the responsibility of building and maintaining all government buildings required by its many educational and medical services. Assistance has also been given in the recent housing projects at Barrow and Hoonah. All of this is a part of the ANS endeavor to assist the Native American people to become successful participants in the American ‘demdcracy, to help them be healthy, self-supporting citizens under the new industrial conditions, able to use the language and tools. common to people who are now around them. While much has been attained toward the Natives' successful integration into the changing society, cer- taineareas yet have need of assistance in their adap- tations to a social economy very different from that to which they have, for many centuries, been accustomed. The Alaska Native Service maintains that it is its ‘duty to help each Native group to a successful adjustment to the industrial age. work ACROSS Sunken fence Husks of threshed .
