For A Time During The Early Settlement

One Hundred Years Before The Pilgrims Landed At Plymouth, The Spanish Government Issued A Decree Authorizing The Enslavement Of The American Indian As In Accord With The Law Of God And Man.

On The Contrary, If They Are Treated With Justice And Humanity, Proper Example And The Advantages Of Education Given Them, The Coming Years Will Be As Bright And Prosperous To The Unfortunate Race As The Past Has Been Dark And Painful.

The Intrusions Of The White Race And The Non- Compliance With Treaty Obligations Have Been Followed By Atrocities That Could Alone Satisfy A Savage And Revengeful Spirit.

Looking At The Purpose Of Our Government Toward The Indians, We Find That After Subjugating Them It Has Been Our Policy To Collect The Different Tribes On Reservations And Support Them At The Expense Of Our People.

The More We Study The Indian's Character The More We Appreciate The Marked Distinction Between The Civilized Being And The Real Savage.
