Excerpt from Indians at Work, Vol. 6: May 1939In his Wednesday night address at the banquet Mr. Collier outlined briefly some of the historical aspects of the Indian prob lem, called attention to the fact that there are Indians in the western hemisphere and that the work of the Indian Service is profoundly significant for all of the governments of America which have much larger Indian groups than we have in this country. He spoke of the problems of securing adequate and competent personnel, particularly at the administrative level, and outlined some of the efforts now being developed more adequately to meet this need. He pictured the Indians' relationship to the land out of which relation ship has grown the religion and other aspects of his deeply routed culture pattern. He dealt at length with the problem of the preset vation of native cultures, with the necessity at the same time of the introduction of newer technologies determining that preserva tion and assimilation are the right and left leg of living, that there can be no assimilation without preservation, and that both must go on at the same time in all places.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
