Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, for the Year 1868 Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith the usual annual report of this office, briefly reviewing the condition of our Indian affairs and rela tions during the interval between the date of the last report and the present time, and presenting such suggestions and recommendations as are deemed essential for the proper management of the service. For information in detail in regard to the various tribes, I respectfully refer to the reports of the superintendents and agents of the government having direct charge and supervision of them, which will be found among the documents accompanying this report, believing that they will furnish a history of no ordinary interest, and present a sufficient view of the practical working of the system adopted for civilization of this peo ple, as will tend to encourage all who may have any concern in their pres ent and future condition to hope for increasing good results. The Indian population within the bounds of the United States is about exclusive of those in Alaska Territory. It is sad to think that they are decreasing from year to year, fadm g so rapidly away from the nations of the earth. The causes thereof, as well as of much of the misery and degradation prev ailing, may be mainly attributed to intes tine wars, the entailment of loathsome diseases by vicious whites, and to the effects of indulgence ln the use of spirituous liquors, and these evils, it Is feared, will continue to exist to an alarming extent despite the efforts to remove or even mitigate them. It may be said that a large portion of our wilder Indian tribes show a strong disposition to emerge from their savage state and throw aside their barbarous customs. They see the urgent necessity of the change in the advancing tide of the white race and in the disappearing of the buffalo and other game; hence they understand their only hope for the future is in the abandonment of their present mode of life for that bet ter one of industrial pursuits. With the semi civilized, slow progress is made In their improvement. The causes are so well known, having been fully set forth 1n previous annual reports, that it is unnecessary he1e to reiterate them, and until the obstacles in the way are surmounted or removed it is not reasonable to look for any great change.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior: For the Year 1874 Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith my annual report, accompanied by the reports of the superintendents and agents of the Indian Bureau. The statistical returns are more than usually full and accurate. From them will be gathered unmistakable indications of advancing civilization among nearly all the different tribes of Indians, evinced by a gain in all material prosperity, increased interest in and facilities for education, and a growing general disposition of good will toward the Government. I believe that no year in the history of Indian relations with the Government has witnessed such a marked general movement toward the civilization of the Indian. For three years the appliances of civilization have been brought to bear with increasing force upon the red men of the country, and the results produced are gratifying and most hopeful for the future. At twenty-one agencies, Indians who at the beginning of this period made no effort and showed no inclination toward labor or self-support, or education for their children, seem now to have settled into an earnest purpose to adopt a civilized mode of life, and to learn to provide for themselves. For convenience of reference and remark, the Indians of the country may be classified under three heads: First. Those that are wild and scarcely tractable to any extent beyond that of coming near enough to the Government agent to receive rations and blankets. Second. Indians who are thoroughly convinced of the necessity of labor, and are actually undertaking it, and with more or less readiness accept the direction and assistance of Government agents to this end. Third. Indians who have come into possession of allotted lands and other property in stock and implements belonging to a landed estate. A Census of the Tribes by Classes. In the first class are enumerated 98,108, who may be catalogued as follows: 46,663 out of about 53,000 Sioux; 420 Mandans; 1,620 Gros Ventres; 4,200 Crows; 5,450 Black feet, Bloods, and Piegans; 6,153 Utes in Colorado and New Mexico; 9,057 Apaches in New Mexico and Arizona; 2,000 Navajoes in New Mexico; 4,975 Kiowas and Comanches in Indian Territory; 6,318 Cheyennes and Arapahoes in Indian Territory, Wyoming, and Dakota; 5,352 Chippewas in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan; 300 Nez Perces in Idaho; 1.600 Shoshones and Bannacks in Wyoming; 1,000 Shoshones and Bannacks in Oregon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs: Accompanying the Annual Report of the Secretary of the Interior, for the Year 1856 Sir: I have the honor to submit for your consideration, the usual annual report from this office, and for minute details of the operations of the service, with the condition of the Indian tribes, refer you to the various accompanying reports and other papers. The improvement in the condition of the New York Indians, though gradual, is very perceptible. The farms, buildings, crops and stock, and the substantial comforts surrounding the homes of many of the Oneidas, Onondagas, Tuscaroras, and the Tonawanda, Cattaraugus and Alleghany Senecas, evidence in them, a uniform advancement. The reliance of the Alleghany Senecas upon their timber and lumber, has not made it necessary for them to turn their attention wholly to agriculture; and while this resource has furnished them temporary aid, the timber and lumber trade in which they are engaged may be regarded as a hindrance to their permanent improvement. Churches and religious influences, and schools, are well sustained among these Indians, and all seem to be impressed with a desire to educate their children. The State of New York, and the American Board of Missions, continue to make liberal appropriations for education among them. The Thomas Asylum, on the Cattaraugus reservation, is completed, and is now rapidly filling with orphan and destitute children. The Indians on this last reservation have had the kind offices and aid of the Society of Friends, and the patronage of the department has been extended to them. The Ottowas and Chippewas, and the Chippewas of Saginaw and Swan creek and Black river, all within the State of Michigan, continue gradually to increase in numbers as well as to advance in the arts of peace; and under the liberal provisions of the treaties of 1855, by which every family is to receive a homestead from the public domain, and the friendly feelings manifested towards them by the people of the State, present indications would seem to justify the hope that they will attain a much higher state of civilization, and possess more of the comforts of life, than they have heretofore done. They are beginning to locate on the lands assigned them, and apparently highly appreciate the separate homes to which they are entitled.
