This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior: For the Year 1876 Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith, in accordance with law, the annual report of the Indian Office, accompanied by the reports of its superintendents and agents. These reports give detailed statements of the condition of the Indian tribes, and the progress which has been made during the past year, and indicate that the condition of this branch of the public service is steadily becoming more efficient and satisfactory. The management of Indian affairs is always attended with much of difficulty and embarrassment. In every other department of the public service, the officers of the Government conduct business mainly with civilized and intelligent men. The Indian Office, in representing the Government, has to deal mainly with an uncivilized and unintelligent people, whose ignorance, superstition, and suspicion materially increase the difficulty both of controlling and assisting them. The traditionary belief, which largely prevails, that the Indian service, throughout its whole history, has been tainted with fraud, arises, I apprehend, not only from the fact that frauds have been committed, but also because, from the nature of the service itself, peculiar opportunities for fraud may be found. The agencies are usually located in distant, and, in some cases, almost inaccessible places. They are, in many instances, so far from the accustomed abodes of our people as to be rarely visited by any civilized men except the agent and his employes and persons furnishing supplies. It thus happens that the business of the agency is conducted without the restraints which generally surround public officers. The agent is too remote to be under the immediate and constant surveillance of the central office. He is in a great degree free from the espionage of an intelligent public, and those near him who are competent to detect frauds or criticise official conduct may be influenced by or be in collusion with him. The Indians to whom he distributes supplies are too ignorant to protect themselves from imposition, or, in case dishonesty is suspected, to bring the fact to the knowledge of this office. Thus it happens that the fact that frauds are known to have been committed, oined to the knowledge that abundant opportunities for frauds exist, excites in the minds of a suspicious public a readiness to believe every rumor affecting the integrity of an Indian agent or the honesty of the Indian service. Increased Salaries For Agents. The most important duties in the conduct of our Indian affairs are, and of necessity must be, performed by the agent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Eighth Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners, 1896 In conclusion, we recall at this time the quiet and triumphant death of a man who was at one time a wild Indian of a wild tribe. Scar Faced Charlie was a Modoc chief, who, under the influences Of redeeming love, was brought to live a true Chris tian's life. A recent letter from Modoc Mission to a Friend in the East says Exhorting one of his Indian friends to be ready, he said: 'i prayed when I was well. I have nothing to do now.' He told him he had seen the land to which he was going, and it looked like a rainbow, and that there were dgreat buildings there that he could not describe. With slight exception his min was clear, and his bedside was a hallowed place. So patient, so grateful, so trusting, as we looked at his dark, scarred, and disease-worn face, we could realize that we were indeed gazin at one of God's saints.

These men have been led to expect more, and it should be given them, for if ever laborers were worthy of their hire, these certainly are.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifth Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners: To the President of the United States; 1873 Early in the year the deplorable events of the Modoc rebellion produced serious apprehensions in the public mind in regard to the designs of other Indian tribes in Oregon, and a distrust of the peace policy, which were not shared by those conversant with the subject. The peaceable conduct of the Indians, and the fact which came to be understood, that the peace policy was in no way responsible for the Modoc war. but, on the contrary, would have prevented it, soon dissipated both the apprehensions and distrust. All the tribes west of the Rocky Mountains remained in a state of uninterrupted peace. In the spring information received at the Indian Department excited grave apprehensions of trouble with the Sioux in Wyoming Territory, and the Utes in Colorado. It was also anticipated that the encroachments of the whites upon the Crow reserve, in Montana, might interrupt the friendly relations existing with that tribe. The chairman of the Board, at the solicitation of the honorable Secretary of the Interior, visited each of these tribes. In the cases of the Utes and the Crows the inciting causes of trouble were removed by the purchase of that part of their respective reservations already encroached upon by the miners, and such additional territory as is likely to be required for many years. The peaceable intent of the Sioux of the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies was confirmed by the visit to them, and the Indians of Red Cloud's bands were induced to remove their agency to a suitable place about eighty miles north of the North Platte River. The chairman was accompanied to the council with the Sioux by Hon. J.A. Campbell, governor of Wyoming, and Messrs. E. C. Kemble and H. E. Alvord, as co-commissioners, and Gen. John E. Smith; and to the Crow agency by Messrs. E. Whittlesey and James Wright, commissioners, Gen. N. B. Sweitzer, and the secretary of the Board. In the report of the Board for 1870, and on other occasions, our opinion has been expressed in opposition to the policy of making treaties with Indian tribes through their chiefs, as with civilized sovereignties; urging, however, at the same time, a strict adherence to existing treaties, and claiming the proper status of the Indians to be that of wards of the Government. The negotiations of the chairman and his colleagues have been conducted upon this principle with the masses of the tribes, as well as the chiefs, and as representatives both of the Government and its wards, whose interests they felt bound to protect. The results are embodied in simple contracts for the retrocession of territory heretofore confirmed to the Indians by the Government. The contracts with the Crows and the Utes, and that with the Sho-shones made the previous summer, are conditional upon the ratification of Congress, and your attention is respectfully solicited to the subject of the legislation required, as one which we deem of much importance to the United States and to the Indians. The proceedings in detail of the several commissions are herewith respectfully submitted. The civilized nations and tribes of the Indian Territory continue to improve. There has been a fair increase in the number of schools and churches. A much larger number of children attend the schools, and reasonable progress has been made in agricultural industry.

If the Government through its agents had insisted upon compliance with these Obligations, even by the use Of a moderate amount of force, if necessary, and especially by making it a condition upon which the parents should participate in the benefactions of the Government, and the young men and women of these wild tribes had received the benefit of such education, the Indian problem would now be solved.
