A general survey has not been made among the Indians in the
United States and Canada. However, our attention has been directed
to the Bad River Reservation at Odanah, Wis., to the Flambeau
Reservation in Wisconsin, and especially to the Indians living in the
State of Oklahoma.

We wish to voice our appreciation for the services rendered by
the Rev. F. C. Streufert, member of the Board of Directors. His in-

terest in our Indian Missions has been an encouragement to our
Board, and his advice has been gratefully accepted. The Board of
Pirectors is certainly brought into closer touch with the varied mis-
gion interests of our Church through his services and thereby gains
a clearer insight into the work done in our missions by our Church.

This memorial with its requests and several unprinted commu-
nications were reported on by Committee 12 as follows: —

Your Committee has studied the report of the Board for Indian
Missions. However, since Synod has adopted the report of Commit-
tee 8 pertaining to Overture 601, 8a, page 172, to eliminate the Board
for Indian Missions and to transfer.this mission to the mission boards
of the Districts in which the work is done, we make the following
recommendations : —

That Synod thank the members of this board for their faithful
services during the past triennium.

We further recommend to encourage the respective Districts
having Indian communities in their midst to give them their foster-
ing care.

Synod adopted this report.
