Subject: Russian treatment of Alaskan natives. Apropos to our discussion of native rights in Alaska in connection with our statehood bill, here is a brief look at the status of Alaskan natives under the Russians. The Library of Congress study, Russian Administration of Alaska and the Status of Alaskan Natives, published as a Senate Document (S. Doc. No. 152, 81st Cong.), shows that the aboriginal inhabitants had few if any recognized, protected rights, property or otherwise, at the time we acquired sovereignty under the 1867 treaty. The natives were obliged by Russian law to work for the Russian-American company, the Czarist sponsored monopoly for exploration of Alaska. Each tribe had to furnish one-half of its males between 18 and 50 for 3 years compulsory service, for which the law required that they be paid at "not less than one-fifth of the rate received by Russians." (Library of Congress study, p. 44). They were not permitted to "visit the neighboring shores without permission of the colonial authorities" (p. 45). If they wished to sell furs, on their own account, they were permitted to do so only to the company and at prices fixed by the company. That is, under Russian rule, Alaskan natives had a status in many respects similar to that of the serfs of Russia. In the instructions from the Czar's Ministers to the Russian Ambassador in Washington, Baron de Stoecke, regarding the treaty by which the Territory was sold (it was beginning to cost the Russians money), natives who had not embraced the Russian orthodox faith were not even regarded as "inhabitants," entitled to protection. The 1867 treaty in article III provided that the "inhabitants" could return to Russia if they wished within 3 years; otherwise "they, with the exception of uncivilized native tribes, shall be admitted to the enjoyment of all of the rights, advantages, and immunities of citizens of the United States. [Emphasis supplied.] *** The uncivilized tribes will be subject to such laws and regulations as the United States may, from time to time, adopt in regard to aboriginal tribes of that country." In U. S. v. Lynch (7 Alaska Reports 572), Federal Judge Wickersham, (later Delegate to Congress and sponsor, in 1916, of the first Alaska statehood bill), held that the tribes described "became subject to such rules and regulations as the United States may thereafter adopt as to the native Indians of the United |
