settled and then IT will be paid the scale as our
annues: that Is what expected to hear from
our father because he has said otherwise the Treaty
By which we ceded our land
In that treaty is expressly provided that whereas

states agree pay the nation emigraling from the lands
herein coded, the sum of 100000 BY the terms of
tins Treaty we always understood and so it is plainly
written that the money be paid to those who emf
