INDIAN CHIEFS ARE
FORMING A POLICY

Meeting in Vancouver to
Draft Out a Policy to
Act Upon.

Vancouver, Dec. 13.—Twenty
Indian chiefs, representative of
a race rapidly becoming extinct,
are meeting in the chapel of the

Central Mission for the purpose
of formulating a conerete policy
to be submitted to the Indian
Commission, recently appointed
by the Federal government to ad-
just and investigate the griev-
ances of red men throughout the
Provinee of British Columbia,

“Big Tyass Tyee’ McKenna,
the Federal commissioner who
has recently submitted his report
to the government, will be the
subject of much pow-wow. In
the opinion of the tribal chiefs,
who constitute the greater part
of the delegation, he has been
unfair in his treatment of many
of their complaints and naturally
they wish to give their own ver-
sion of conditions before the
members of the commission.

The concensus of opinion
among the red men as expressed
in their own quaint phraseology
was that Tyaas Tyee McKenna
did not understand them; that he
was working for the favor of his
government rather than in the
interests of the tribes, and that
even their sacred reserves, set
apart for them by the pale faces
who had hounded them with their
ideals, forced upon them their
modes of living and impregnated
them with their vices, were be-
ing taken by advancing civiliza-
tion.
