Disgrace in Indian care fuels demand for accountability
A lengthy critique links federal neglect of Pine Point on White Earth to widespread disease among the Pine Point Indians. Trachoma blindness, tuberculosis, and venereal disease afflict the population, prompting calls to identify and punish those responsible and demand a square deal for Native peoples. The piece cites congressional inspectors and quotes leaders denouncing the moral rot behind the conditions. It also discusses Iowa meat-packers’ freight-rate battles, arguing reduced Iowa-to-Chicago rates mainly aid shippers and packers, not producers, highlighting the Corn Belt Meat Producers Association’s role in rate relief and public counsel support.
