Excerpt from Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners to the Secretary of the Interior, 1928
Sir: We have the honor to submit herewith the Fifty-ninth Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1928, during which the following jurisdictions of the Indian Service were visited:
Turtle Mountain, Fort Totten, and Standing Rock Agencies, and the Bismarck School, N. Dak.; Sisseton, Crow Creek, Rosebud, and Pine Ridge Agencies, and the Flandreau School, S. Dak.; Consolidated Chippewa and Red Lake Agencies, Minn.; Five Civilized Tribes and the Kiowa and the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agencies, Okla.; Uintah and Ouray and the Paiute Agencies, Utah; Northern Navajo and Zuni Agencies, N. Mex.; Southern Navajo, Hopi, Havasupai, Truxton Canyon, and Colorado River Agencies, and the Fort Mojave School, Ariz.; Fort Yuma Agency, Calif.; the Indians of New York State.
Special reports on these agencies and schools were transmitted to the Secretary of the Interior from time to time, and they are appended hereto in abridged form. We beg leave to call your special attention to the specific recommendations in these reports. Most of these are concerned with administrative affairs, with needed improvements in executive methods, and in the school and hospital plants. These improvements deserve serious consideration and prompt action.
At the board's meetings and in the special reports referred to matters of much importance to the Indians and to the administration of their affairs by the Federal Government were considered. Among them were the necessity for increased appropriations for the Indian Service, employment for Indians, the problems arising out of the extension of the period of restrictions to members of the Five Civilized Tribes, the claims of tribes against the United States, the effects of per capita payments, the decentralization of administrative authority, and the definition of an Indian. We are considering these subjects in this annual report.
Needs of the Indian Field Service
Repeatedly, in its annual reports, the Board of Indian Commissioners has presented the needs of the Indian field service and has urged that measures be taken to strengthen its personnel and to better the general conditions of the agency, school, and hospital employees.
