Excerpt from Indians at Work, Vol. 6: December 1938I have before me The Final Report of TC - bia on the Lower Brule Reservation, South Dakota. It is called a Human Dependency and Economic Survey. The document is as readable as it is com prehensive and I use the word advisedly profound. The picture it gives is a dark one yet rays of present light pierce that dark ness. As for what could be as a practical matter, given enough of consecutive, planned effort the report shows that a happy future is possible for the Lower Brules.I here cite but one or two striking facts. These ninety six families own. Or have the use of. Acres of land. Yet of their total income (in cash and kind) only 18 per cent comes from the land, and only per cent of the total reservation in come is secured through the application (by Indians) of labor to the natural resources of the reservation.What about the income of the Lower Brulee? That averages $692 per family. Of this total. 49 per cent is relief income di rect and work relief. Of the total income, 67 per cent is derived from governmental sources.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
