²⁰Sections 41-56 of the second Charter deal with natives (for translation see Appendix 2, A). In the main their provisions correspond to those of sections 236-241, 247, 249-252, 260-270, 276 and 280-284 of the third Charter (for translation see Appendix 2, B); section 49 was omitted. Sections 42-45, 47-48, 50-56 were repeated there with very few changes as follows: Section 47 of the Charter of 1821 did not prescribe the chiefs (toyens) of the native tribes to be confirmed by the Administrator General as it is ordered by section 252 of the Charter of 1844. Section 53 of the Charter of 1821 required the pay of natives to be not less than one-fifth of that of the Russians, while section 267 of the 1844 Charter provides for pay according to the scale approved by the government.

²¹The Russian text of the treaty used instead of "uncivilized" the term "wild native tribes" and the French "tribus sauvages."

War Background Studies, No. 13, Washington, D.C. 1943, p. 25: "The Aleuts inhabit the Aleutian Islands, the Shumagin Islands, and the north coast of the Alaska Peninsula east to Ugashik River. * * * Two colonies of Aleuts that had been established on the Pribilof Islands by the Russians to provide labor for sealing operations have been well cared for by the United States Government, for whom they work in handling the seal herd. * * * However, owing to the threat of Japanese landing on the Pribilofs, they were removed from the islands in the winter 1941-1942, and have been temporarily quartered in Southeastern Alaska. * * * Other Aleuts work in canneries in the Bristol Bay region, or on fox farms, engage in cod fishing or the operation of boats * * *. The Aleuts are now so thoroughly blended with the Russians and other Caucasians that pureblood natives are rare."
