There were problems, but not major problems. Considerable change came about over the time that I was in law enforcement. At first, if an Indian person was drinking and about to get in trouble, as a deputy I would just tell him that he'd had enough and to go home. Didn't solve the problem because the next time money was available it was the same thing. But the Indian has come a long way with the drinking problem.
Resentments do exist.
Whites sometimes think the Indian has two sets of laws and that is resented. In my years of law enforcement I put a lot of Indian people in jail but I never put them in jail because they were Indian, I put them in jail because they broke the law. As I think of it, though, I suppose I even tended to lean a little toward them, but I tried not to, I tried to be equal. Most of my dealings with them were good. But I concluded their groups and ways were not much different from those of the whites.
