They are christian Indians. I think none of us will forget the expression of joy and delight with which these Indians ran to their schoolhouse. to their church. and ran up upon the flagstaff the American flag. and how glad they were to meet the first official representatives ot the Government under which they had sought protection. They are of course not natives of this country as the native Indians of Alaska are under our treaty or purchase from Russia. and they must become in the end. before they can acquire this property. naturalized citizens of the United States. The proposition of the amendment is simply to allow this band of Indians to remain there under such rules and regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may impose. and give them some recognized footing at that place.
