glad that I will try to say a few words Of my people. We were
just like a little baby. When Columbus discovered America, Until
now To-day, we are different from what we were at that time. It
is hard for us to leave our own old Indian ways at once. You
know how hard it is for a crazy man get better from his crazy.
It is just so with the Indians, it is hard for us. When I was at
home, I was the youngest, But I try to do my best. So my parents
wanted me to be kept there, As long as I could. But some of my
friends think it will better for me to get a little education,
and them some more to help them. It seem to me come to schools,
And now I am school in this institution, and it is hard for me
to do right. But I try to do my best as well as possible. And I
learn little bits of English language or composition and also
some history, Ever since I been here about over three years ago.
So I am anxious to tell you something about my people, but as I
say I have been here three years, I did not know how they
getting along--But I think they are become like as civilized
now, As some of them try very hard to do as the white people's.
But there are some white men in our agencies, are good but only
few of them, And there are most of all bad ones. Those bad ones
who are try hard to pull us down. So hoping you will help and
pray for us. We may stand against these bad temptation. And
finally we shall be risen very slowly, from the lowest to the
highest civilization. Some of the white man those who opposed
the Indian they said--"The Indians can never be civilized are
dead Indian not lives Indians but dead, them are unsuccessful
and good for anything." It may be very true. But if some always
good people will help us to do right, We shall be civilized as
well as any other nation. my friends I wish I could do more, but
the language which I am using is rather and difficult for me and
keeps me back. Therefore I cannot express of my desire but as I
say again We shall not be civilized at once, but we shall in the
future. I thank you for money very much.
I am most sincerely an Indian friend.
BENJ. OHITIKA.
The attempt of the writer of the letter to quote the inhuman
sentiment so often uttered by bad white men: "There is no good Indian
but a dead Indian," illustrates the extreme difficulty an Indian has
in acquiring our language. The penmanship of this boy would bear
favorable comparison with that of young men of his age as they
graduate from our public schools. It is an interesting fact that the
Indian under education uniformly excels in penmanship.
