Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Third Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners: 1891 It has been wisely suggested, however, that these quasi courts might be made real courts presided over by justices having some knowledge of the law, and receiving a fair compensation for their services, an In dian jury trying the facts. These courts should be provided on all the reservations. A system of court commissioners, related to the present United States courts, has been suggested for the graver causes, and with a right of appeal to the United States courts. This plan has met with favor, and if some well-conditioned system shall be devised, not too complicated, and so conditioned as to melt away of itself when the Indians become citi zens, it seems to us it would be wise legislation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twentieth Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners: 1888 Sir: The Board of Indian Commissioners, pursuant to the act of May 17, 1882, respectfully submit their twentieth annual report. Twenty years ago, in their first report, the Commissioners outlined a policy of justice, humanity, and peace towards the Indians in the following words: They should he taught, as soon as possible, the advantage of individual ownership of property, and should be given land in severalty as soon as it is desired by any of them, and the tribal relations should be discouraged. To facilitate the future allotment of the land, the agricultural portions of the reservations should be surveyed as soon as it can be done without too much exciting their apprehensions. The titles should be inalienable from the family of the holder for at least two or three generations. The civilized tribes now in the Indian Territory should be taxed and made citizens of the United States as soon as possible. The treaty system should be abandoned, and as soon as any just method can be devised to accomplish it existing treaties should be abrogated. The legal status of the uncivilized Indians should be that of wards of the Government; the duty of the latter being to protect them, to educate them in industry, the arts of civilization, and the principles of Christianity; elevate them to the rights of citizenship, and to sustain and clothe them until they can support themselves. The payment of money annuities to the Indian should be abandoned, for the reason that such payments encourage idleness and vice, to the injury of those whom it is intended to benefit. Schools should be established and teachers employed by the Government to introduce the English language in every tribe. It is believed that many of the difficulties with Indians occur from misunderstandings as to the meaning and intention of either party. The teachers employed should be nominated by some religious body having a mission nearest to the location of the school. The establishment of Christian missions should be encouraged, and their schools fostered. The religion of our blessed Savior is believed to be the most effective agent for the civilization of any people. We look forward to success in the effort to civilize the nomadic tribes with confidence, notwithstanding the many difficulties and obstacles which interpose, but their elevation can only be the result of patient, persevering, and long-continued effort. To expect the civilization and Christianization of any barbarous people within the term of a few short years, would be to ignore all the facts of history, all the experiences of human nature. Within the term of your administration, their condition may be greatly improved, and the foundations laid, broadly and firmly, of a policy which the newly awakened sense of justice and humanity in the American people will never permit to be abandoned until it has accomplished the intended result. The principles and purposes thus set forth at the outset have been steadily adhered to and pursued throughout the entire history of the Board.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eighteenth Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners: 1886 At Flandreau and Oahe, Dak., more than one hundred homesteads were entered and settled, and though some of the owners, after perfect ing their title, have been induced to sell out, as was to be expected, yet the majority remain and are living a civilized life like theii white neighbors, and respected by them. To extend the benefits of this home stead act, in 1884 and 1885 appropriations were made for paying the fees and other expenses of making entries, so that an Indian has in this respect greater privileges than a' white man. During the last three years appropriations have been made for surveying Indian reservations amounting to $80, 000; and during the same years 890, 000 have been granted by law for employing farmers, additional to those provided for in treaties, to instruct and aid Indians in their agricultural pursuits. Another act of great value was the Omaha bill of 1882, which gave to those Indians their lands In severalty, and secured to them their homes with a title inalienable for a period of twenty five years. It should also be remembered that it was by legislation that the office of superintendent of Indian schools was established, and a new impulse given to the education of Indian children, and that the appropriations for that purpose have increased from a few thousands to more than a million dollars per annum. And now the most important measure of all in the line of legislation has been adopted in the passage of the Dawes severalty bill. This act provides that all Indian reservations, except those of the five civilized tribes and of the New York Indians.

This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners to the President of the United States, 1871 His report will be found herewith, marked A a. When Red Cloud visited Washington, in July of last year, it was maintained by a portion of the Western press, and the people of the frontier, that his return would be marked by the renewal of outrages upon the settlers. Happily, the prediction was not realized, and peace still continues. The Sioux are extremely sensitive in regard to the slightest encroachment upon their reservation, or the hunting grounds allotted to them in the treaty of 1868, and have objected even to the establishment of an agency for their own benefit within its limits. They are impressed with the conviction that where one white man is allowed to enter their territory many will inevitably follow. In view of their past experience, we cannot think them unreasonable in this. The same wise consideration which led the Government to withdraw the garrisons of Forts Reno, C. F. Smith, and Phil. Kearney, in 1868, and to prevent the proposed Big Horn expedition in 1870, should induce a proper effort to gain their consent by negotiation, before permitting any breach of the treaty stipulations by the invasion of their hunting grounds by surveying or exploring parties. It is believed that the privilege which may be deemed necessary for the Northern Pacific Railroad Company may be had by negotiation. at a moderate cost, whereas the attempt to sieze it without will probably occasion a renewal of the war. Visit of the Cheyenne, Arapahoe, and Witchita chiefs to the East. The wisdom of keeping faith, in honestly fulfilling our part of the treaties, and in making the chiefs acquainted with the character and resources of our people, by inviting them to visit the East, is thus practically demonstrated by our present relations with these Sioux. Some of the chiefs of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes of the southern plains, in acceptance of a similar invitation, visited Washington and the other principal cities of the East, during the past summer. The kind treatment they received from the President and executive officers of the Government at Washington, and from the citizens of Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, (see Appendix A, No.1, ) made so favorable an impression on their minds that, on their return to the Indian country, when their neighbors, the Kiowas, angry at the arrest of their chiefs, Satanta and Satauk, earnestly pressed them to go on the war path, they promptly refused. If the Cheyennes and Arapahoes had joined their forces with the Kiowas, we should have had a bloody war. But the Kiowas, finding themselves unsupported, had the wisdom to abandon the project and remain at peace. Arrest And Punishment Of Kiowa Chiefs. The Kiowa chiefs had been invited to accompany the delegation of Cheyenne, Arapahoe, and Witchita chiefs on their visit to the East, but had been dissuaded from so doing by some evil-minded half-breeds who were in the habit of inciting them to raids on the Texas frontier, and who feared their vicious trade in the product of the robberies would be broken up. The consequence was, that while the other chiefs visited our principal cities, they went on one of those plundering tours into Texan, and, boasting of it on their return home, were arrested by General Sherman, and justly punished.
