Dear Friend:-A most interesting and important Conference of those interested in the welfare of the Indians of the Pacific Coast will be
held at the Y. M. C. A. Building, San Francisco, on Thursday evening,
Nov. 6th, and during the day, Nov. 7th. Present conditions of the
California Indians, especially as to their individual ownership of
their homes will be discussd by Mr. C. E. Kelsey, and others who have
been making special study of these matters. Educational conditions
and problems will be discussed by Mr. John F. Murray, Special Government Agent in charge of Indian educational affairs, State Supt. Hyatt
and others. Leaders in Church work will talk of religious conditions
and problems.
This Conference is called by representatives of Churches and
other agencies at work among the Indians of California, at the suggestion of the Northern California Indian Association, which has not
only done excellent individual work for the Indians but has supplied
most helpful leadership in efforts to unify and correlate the work
of all agencies attempting such work. Its members now feel that it
must lay down this leadership, which they believe can be more effectively undertaken by a Council composed of representatives of all the
Societies engaged in the work. Prominent workers in the Churches and
other Societies, by correspondence, and at a joint meeting held in
San Francisco recently, heartily approved this suggestion, and de—
cided to issue the call for this Conference. It is earnestly hoped
that during the meetings plans may be matured for creating such a
representative Council with the following ends particularly in view:
1. Attainment of the largest practical measure of cooperation
between Churches so that both wasteful duplication of work and
neglect of any needy field may be avoided.
2. Unification of influence in securing and making effective any
needed measures of justice and righteousness for the Indian people.
3. Cordial cooperation in arranging for periodical Conferences
for study, discussion and inspiration with reference to this work,
at which all classes of workers may be brought together.
You are earnestly asked to be present and take part in this
Conference and to extend this invitation to any who you think may bea
interested. You will see that to secure a plan for a satisfactory
representative Council the Conference which makes the plan must
itself be as representative as possible. Will you not help us to
make it so by securing the attendance of your friends who are interested in some organization engaged in this work?
Yours very truly,
A. GRANT EVANS, Secretary.
