Mr. Boal from the select committee
appointed to draft device for terrific
rial seal made the following report,
Wbltii as tCOu, VIZ
The committee appointed to drai, a
device for Territorial, seal beg leave
to report lisa f ..
That the committee have had the
subject under consideration, and have
adopted device herewith reported,
which your committee hope will meet
the appreciation of the legislative assem-
bly,. Your committee have adopted a
device which they consider would in
some degree perpetuate the early histo-
ry of the Territory, and that which rep
resents the present friendly relations
existing between the white and the red
man, was considered the most proper.
There could be no greater proof of
the wisdom and sound policy of our re-
lations with the Indian tribes within our
Territories, than the fact that the white
settlements which are driving the red
men by degrees from their early homes,
although in many cases isolated and I'M
protected still the most friendly rela-
tons exist between them. This your
committee thought certainly subject to
be officially perpetuated in the most con-
Spicuous manner.
Your committee therefore have adop-
ted agroupe consisting Of an Indian fam
lily, with their lodge, canoe, Sc, in their
encampment on the wild lands of our
Territory, and single white man visit
ing them, unprotected bat by the friendly
relations existing betw4en the two peo-
Il l,Gncon{ ii tho Il
customs of lie, and receiving at the
hands of the Indian the pipe Of peace, a
sure symbol of eternal friendship
Your committee would respectfully
suggest that copy of the device if a.
dopted by the Legislature, should be
fled in the office of the secretary of the
Territory, and another to be furnished
the Governor to be taken below for the
purpose of having it engraved on the
great seal of the Territory.
All which is respectfully submitted
