VATION, Keshi-na, Wis., July S.
The Fish Trail from hioat;o to
northern Wisoousln, um tif the first
uiHoinobilo trails that were blaxed by
wealthy sportsmen when the automo
bile was a luxury, runs through this
reservation,
This summer a Monominoe Indian,
hearing of an automobile camper in
the reservation beside this trail, who
wns caught in tho rain, with iuade
quato shelter, removed the tarpaulin
from his threshing machine to ketp
the camper dry ami warm. No tlpn
wvre Involved, but simply nu act of
courtesy
These are tho Menominee of today,
whose hlKtorloal character was des
crlbed in a Washington Indian ser
vico report thus:
"A woods Indian, Vn Menominee
wns a striking figure, generally six
feet and over in height, a giant in
strength; few in number compared
with other great tribes, their bravery
and fighting qualities enabled them
to hold their own with surrounding
tribes. Their word once given could
be relied upon.
Communal System Tried
The federal government Is working
out an experiment with these modern
Menominees, by trying to develop
them through the tribal, that Is the
communal land holding systom, that
k now a rarity in most countries.
Among most American Indian tribes
Communal land ftotdlng has been
Abolished through acts of congress
piloting 4ho land?.
I Tho work nmong the Menominees
b under the direction of Superintend
ent Edgar A. Allen, of Keshena. The
reservation, in northeastern Wiscon
sin, covers an area of approximately
f ighteen miles by twenty-four with a
population of about 1.S00 Indians,
whose communal holdings total 231,
000 acres, a large portion of It in
timber.
Superintendent Allen's days are
full of variety. Ono opened recently
with a request by an Indian for a
carriage harness.
"You do not need a carriage har
ness," replied Mr. Allen. "You are
operating a farm and I am not going
to give you a requisition for some
thing to take you away from it."
"But I can't farm without a har
ness." "You can have a harness, but you
cannot use a carriage harness for
plowing."
Indian Have Many War Veterans
. Later Mr. Alltn led a decoration
day parade. Tho Menominees still
have nine living civil war veterans
and twenty volunteer veterans of. the
World' war. loiter In the same week
he took Mr. George Vaiue, of Phila
delphia, tine of the Indian commis
sioners holding presidential appoint
ment, to Inspect the farm of a Me
nominee who has put 100 acres under
cultivation, and has more than a
dozen men working for him, Including
a few whites. This Menominee is the
most successful farmer on the reser
vation, the example of what the gov
ernment Is tryijna to do.- for those
'who would succeed; -the tribal system
of land holding is a potential dis
couragement, because when the lands
aro alfoted there is no assurance that
an Indian will receive that which heather son, Wayne, is already noted
iiua ueveiopea, or even as mucn. mis
communal system furnished a fund
to help support those members of the
tribe who are helpless, or so unskill
ful as to be unable to support them
selves. Each Indian receives alt the
profits of what his own enterprise
produces, bet tho forest lands pro
duce a community fund. This usu
ally is smalt, the last allotment from
It having been ten dollars a head for
a year.
