terior a member of the committee of citizens on Indian affairs, and 
as the chairman of this body has been cooperating with federal and 
voluntary bodies interested in Indian welfare. 
The Six Nations of Canada have had some similar trouble with 
the Dominion authorities. The Six Nations there always regarded 
themselves as allies of Great Britain, and their treaty with Sir Fred- 
erick Haldiman, giving them the Grand river tract, as “His 
Majesty’s faithful allies,’ assured the Indians who left New York 
State after the Revolutionary War, a homeland and independence. 
It now appears that Canada wishes to declare all the Six Nations 
Indians citizens and in order to enforce the enfranchisement act has 
stationed Dominion police on the Six Nations’ domain. The Six 
Nations have protested and have carried their complaint to the 
League of Nations for its intervention. 
These actions and attitudes of the Six Nations Indians on both 
sides of the line is typical of their entire history and indicates their 
energy and national persistence.
