Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior: For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1910
The superintendents of the various reservations and schools are realizing the importance of this work and many cases have been se cured by them independent of the operations of the chief special Officer. The superintendents in each State have been given copies of the state laws on the sale of liquor to the Indians in order that they may more intelligently work on local cases.
It is gratifying to find in a few cases that the Indians themselves have circulated petitions addressed to the home city or town councils asking that saloon licenses be revoked and the places closed.
An act was passed by Congress during the year, amending the act of May 29, 1908 for the sale and disposition of a part of the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River reservations and provided that for a period of twenty-five years the lands allotted, retained and reserved, as well as the surplus lands sold, etc., Shall be subject to all the laws of the United States prohibiting the introduction of intoxicants into the Indian country.
