This is the third of a series of four articles by Miss Jemison, secretary to Ray W. Jimerson, president of the Seneca Nation of Indians, and a Seneca member of the Inter-Tribal Committee for the Advancement of the American Indian. BY ALICE LEE JEMISON. Special Dispatch to The Star. / BUFFALO, N. Y., April 22 (NAN.A). —*Abolish the Indian Bureau and Let My People Go.” We, the Indians of the United States, are sounding the battle cry of the lnle‘ Dr. Carlos Montezuma, for many years the leading exponent for the freedom of the American Indian. For the first time in American his- tory some time ago we asked that we be given some voice in the selection of 2 man who shall be appointed guardian of our persons and our property, the comnissioner of Indian affairs, under the new administration. For some un- explained reason, however, a man not of our selection has been named for that post. He is John Collier of Cali- fornia. secretary of the American In- dian Defense Association. Four years ago the retiring commis- sloner, Charles J. Rhoades, and his as- sistant, J. Henry Scattergood, were ap- pointed. They admitted knowing little of Indian affairs. Yet they were given complete control of our destiny. Witk Secretary of the Interior Ray Lymar Wilbur they made mapy promises to “reform” the bureau. Charged With Failure. ‘We specifically charge that they have not carried out the pledge contained | in five communications to Congress, | dated December 11 and December 17, | 1929; that they have blocked all legis- lation for reform. Fortified with the largest appropria- | tions ever granted that bureau, tney have retained as advisers, at good sal- aries, men publicly discredited by their | past handling of Indian affairs. They have imposed new restrictions of far- reaching detriment which their prede- cessors never dared to sponsor and have advanced legislation for the destruction | of our citizenship rights granted by | Congress in 1924. Under that act, all Indians were granted free and unrestricted citizen- ship rights. Through neglect to repeal old laws, we are still held as wards of the bureau—a bureau which grows in- creasingly powerful. We affirm what the records clearly show. Conditions among almost all Indian tribes today are worse than at any time since the United States became our guardian. Now. when all Government machin- ery is to be closely inspected, overhauled and improved. we believe the time has arrived for the Indians to speak for themselves. - An Indian Committee, with head- quarters in this city, has been formed to consider this vital question. Nor- man Ewing, Sioux Indian from Montana, widely known as Chief Flying Iron, | authoritative speaker on Indian affairs, is the chairman. “Personal Freedom.” ‘We want as commissioner a man who | has a thorough knowledge of Indian af- | fairs and Indians; who can advance practical plans not to “reform” the bu- | reau. but to abolish it. There can be | ro reform of this profligate, century-old | .dlr\l not raise their voice against the THE SUNDAY Any Time Under sonal freedom” for the Indians and leg- islation looking toward an ever-increas- ing Indian voice in Indian governing; equal opportunities for education and health preservation; one who has had no official connection with any of the so-called benevolent societies which supposedly seek to promote our welfare. Messrs. Rhoades and Scattergood were chosen from the ranks of the so- called Indian Rights Association, a 40- yvar-old organization. By various means, the Indian Bureau hes subsidized every such organization, even some Christlan missionary socie- tiss, to such an extent that today they burcay, but instead help to perpetuate it at your expense, taxpayers, and ours. Even the so-called Civil Liberties Unicn, which champions personal free- dom for all others, even enemies of government, is advocating legislation which will limit our citizenship rights under the 1924 act of Congress. Advo- cating that we be retained as “wards” under the “Bigger and Better” bureau control! Most emphatically we desire no commissioner chosen from the ranks of these societies! Few Can Be Trusted. We Indians exist under that bureau | on the reservations. We consider that | we are in a better position than any one else to know what we need. We want, as commissioner, a man in whom we can trust. There are but few—we have been so victimized in the past. A man who will give an under- standing ear to our expressions, and who, having heard, can and will spon- | sor legislation to promote our welfare, not as wards, but as free men and women. Not a politician—but a bold and fearless man who will smash through the maze of red tape and re- strictions in that bureau, remove them and give the Indian at last an opportu- nity to learn how to manage his own affairs by actually doing it. We want a man whose policies we can support, with justice to our people; with whom we can co-operate for the salvation of our race and the best in- terests of all other people in these United States.
