It is unfair to suppose that one party has invariably acted rightly, and that the other is responsible for every wrong that has been committed.

The more we study the Indian's character the more we appreciate the marked distinction between the civilized being and the real savage.

A Christian people who have for two hundred years kept a race in bondage, deprived of the advantages of civilization and religion, owe them a debt of gratitude which it would seem ungenerous to withhold.

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.

If we dismiss from our minds the prejudice we may have against the Indians we shall be able to more clearly understand the impulses that govern both races.
