INDIAN RESERVE LIFE

~ ‘Cows Went Out for a Beer’.

Like any other race, the In-
diuns are extremely proud of
their ancestry. They admit their
mistakes and shortcomings phil-
osophically, but on the other
hand they are afraid of complete
assimilation.

That was the Impression
gained recently by Stan Standola,
publisher of the Osoyoos Times,
when he visited the Osoyoos In-
dian Reserve in the company of
Frank McDonald; manager of the
South Okanagan Lands Project.

Mn, Stanola continues:

We called at the home of
Chief Manuel Louie, now 87
years of age, and his wife Mar-

garet, 88. We sat in the kit.
chen of what would be a not-
too-prosperous homestead.

Also at home that morning
was Farnces Louie, his wife and
infant son.

‘To begin with, we found the
Chief a gerat conversationalist.
He would talk and talk, and go
into the smallest detail of the
subject. He, as well as Frances
Loule, could express themselves
very fully. The questions asked
by Mr. McDonald and myself all
received a direct answer.

H.M.—that’s Heating Meagurement—

The Chief does not believe
the Indian Iquor laws should be
made easier. The Indians cannot
leave liquor alone, If he were
permitted to bring a bottle home
the could not‘ let it stand like a
white man. “If he sees a bottle,
it all must go.”

Years ago thin reserve had
about 3,000 head of cattle, and
now only 800, The Chief blames:
this on liquor. “All the cows
went to the beer parlor,” he
claims, He feels that all beer
should be closed off.

* The Indians elected their
Chief and two council members
who meet regularly to deal with
Reserve matters, The present
Chief was in office two years,

| then voted out two years, and re-

elected four years aga. Anyone
over 21 years can vote, by a stand-
ing vote,

The Chief would like. to see
the Indian children go to White
schools, but he says the Indian
Department will. not provide the
buses, so the children are all sent
to Mission schools at Cranbrook
and Kamloops, Most of them stay
away for the entire schoo! term.

Some years ago here was a

the sum of all the factors that affect the

heating needs of your home. .

Whatever the size or layout of your home,

there’s an Esso Oil Heating unit which fite that
tly—and in i

with Esso Furnace Oil, it is your guarantee of

"| over the reserve” the Chief said,

much if a person drives through

school on the Reserve and tan.
thony Walsh did a splendid job,
A new school was bullt about
five years ago but never used.

The Indians resent it belng

locked up. They won't even let
us use dt as a meeting hall, the
Chief states. He was very proud
of a young girl who had a
good education at the Mission
school and was planning to go
on to further studles at Van-
equver. i

The Chief did not like a com-
ing council meeting on a new Act.
They want us to be white men,
he feared, indicating that he
would rather be left as now, He
fears too much “bossing” from
the Indian Agent,

The Chief asked Mrs. Fair-
clough recently about the $96,-
000,000 that the great Queen
Victoria was supposed to have
promised the Indians in 1890. He
feels that his people have waited
a long time but he has the pa-
tience to keep. asking for it at
every opportunity.

The Indians have church ser-
vice every first Sunday of the
month, with a priest from Pen-
ticton coming out, The church is
usually filled up. This bullding
was put up in 1912, but the 100
year-old church also still stands.

Asked why the signs were

put up to keep people off the
Grove at Osoyoos, the Chief

stated he was afrald of fire and | -

* that the white people were too
careless that way. They were
algo dumping garbage.

The Indian Agent wanted to
arrange a 90-year lease at $26,000
a year for that property, but the
Indians wanted only a five-year
lease, |

“No such thing as highway

referring to a proposal for a
right-of-way 100 feet wide. He
just would hear nothing of it.
One thing leads to ancther, with
the usual result that the'size of
the Reserve is always shrinking.

‘The Indian Reserve is about

six miles wide and 22 miles long
stretching from Osoyoos almost
to Okanagan Falls on the east
side of the river There are about
125 Indians on the Reserve,

An Indian can be a private
owner by fencing off a portion
of this vast acreage. There are
some who have done soe, but
most do not bother — they
choose to come and go without
being tled down, even though
such revenue would be their
own.

The Indians do not mind too

the Reserve but they are very re-

sure, safe, oil-heat comfort.

sentful of anyone hunting or fish-
ing.
They are also quite put out
‘by the ROMP going on the Re-
serve and arresting a person dri-
ving without alicence. We'll get
a lawyer and put a stop to this,
the Chief asserted, If there is
drunkeness, that is different, he
added.
During the two-hour talk,
Frances Loule took a very keen
and active part in the conversa-
tion. We were suprised to learn
that he had only finished grade
two and said so.

With a grin ho answered,
aoe I’ve been around — but

I had been educated I could
fave handled all our problems.”

en lifting up his infant son

ietea on his be kness, he proudly
salad “Wait till he grows up, he
will learn”

“This chap should be made
Chief,” Mr. McDonald laughingly
remarked.

“We'll see,” the Chief an-
swered with a big ‘friendly smile.

TEENAGE PROBLEM

Acne is one of the problems
of growing up. This annoying
skin condition usually affects
young people and, while it is us-
ually a temporary condition, it
can be very embarrassing while
it lasts, Diet may have some bear-
ing on the condition, so it is wise
to skip too many rich pastries
and fried foots, or too many
candies and soft drinks. Substi-
tute fruit, milk or fruit juices,
Get plenty of rest and keep the
skin clean by washing frequently
with warm water and milk soap,
