abrooate MI existing treaties with unoiy1l-
lied tribes: to select two great reservations,
ono on either side Of The Rocky Mountains,
upon which to collect Ill the uncivilized
Iu udians within the boundaries Of tho United
States and to offer the Indians The alterns-
tive of going upon these reservations and
