INDIANS AND INDIAN AGENCIES.
Indian Inspector Vandevore reports
that at council with the Indians OF the
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies,
June 50th, the chiefs and others express.
ed willingness to relinquish the Black
Hills country on the terms offered by
Vanderyore. The Chiefs all promised to
keep their people athome and to remain
labout the agencies. They declare and
the evidence here sustains their dec!ara-
tion, that very few Of the Sioux arc alb.
sent, and that it is chiefly the Cheyennes
who have committed the depredations in
this vicinity, and who have gone North
to Join the hostile Indians. The lnspec.
tors arrangement with the Indians that |
regard practicable, is IN agreement
between them and the Government
BY which they shall relinluish all right
10 the Black Hills, and consent to such
diminished boundaries OF their reserva-
tion as shall secure this object. In con-
sideration of this REIMBURSEMENT the
government shall guarantee continued
supplies Of food and other articles, as un-
der the former treaty, for. five years from
the date OF the new agreement. l would
further stipulate with the Indians that
they shall, when the government requires,
consent to the removal OF their agencies
from their present location to any point
that may be designated ior them on or
near the Missouri river, where better
farming lands may be found. When the
government may choose to transfer them
to better reservations, 10 induce them TO
consent to such removal or transfer,
there should be offered to them q reason
able supply Of stock cattle, oxen, farming
implements, lumber for houses, cooking
stoves and utensils, wagons, etc., to be
distributed to those only who take land
and settle on it for cultivation, or who
engage in stock raising or other useful
industry. Provision also should be male
for the schooling Of children, and for the
instruction Of young men in mechanical
arts. Law should be established among
them, and the Jurisdiction Of our courts
extended to them the same as to
the white men. I would give the
Sioux tribes the privilege Of sending one
Of their own people to sit as a Delegate
in Congress-. Nearly the entire force OF
the agency Indians are here now, land arc
anxious Tor peace. The statements re-
presenting different state Of things are
not entitled to credit. Nothing could be
more unfortunate than to stop the rations
OF these Indians at present, and thus
drive them TO the alternate of. stealing or
starving. Appended to the report is the fol
lowing statement ofBear-Stands.Up, an
Indian Of the Spotted Tail Agency, who
arrived from Sitting Bulls camp, June
25th: ...
n went north 10 the hostile camp
for the purpose Of bringing home some
relations and children belonging i. TO
my wife. There are few Northern
Santees, Yauktonas, Arckarees and Gros-
ventres. The chiefs Of the above are
Santee, Bed End, Ydnktonia, White Face
and others not known! OF the above
there are very few Northern Cheyennes.
Black Mocasin Is Chief Of about 40
lodges; Blackfeet:; Chief scabby Head
Unehapas, Chiet Sitting Ball; San
saries, Chief Spotted Eagle; Minnie.
conjous, Chief ,Blackshield; ogalallas'
Chief Crazy Horse. In all these there
are little over 1000 lodges. After the
troops got into the country l could not
get away. The Indians made soldiers TO
watch the camp and keep the people 10.

talked with Sitting Bull before leav-
ing, and then moved my lodge out in the
night, coming very far around to keep
out OF the way Of both Indians and
troops, and came home by the route
known as the old Fort, Pierre road, on
the east side OF the Black Hills, striking
the road about hall way be-
tween Missouri and the Black Hills,
and then came straight to the agency.
Sitting Bull sends word to my agent, Ia
Bisonette and to Bouchil that he does
not intend to molest any one south Of the
Black Hills, but will light the whites in
that country as long as the question il
not settled, and II not settled, as long as
he lives. aAs soon as the Black. Hill
question is settled he wants my agent to
send him word and tell him what TO do
| f1o says nb lhub BtCat MAnl AANASt't
and other things about the Hills where
white men killed each other and left
Sitting Bull asked how the Brules were
treated at their agency, l told him
we'll, but he does not believe
1t. He, does not want to fight the
whites, bit only to steal from them as
they have done; white man don't steal and
Indians won't come to the settlements
The whites kill themselves; make Black
Hills stink, so many dead men. Says ht
heard that Indians coming from the
agency would not be allowed to return
he has made law that no visitors shall
pass between the agency and bis camp
either Indians or whites. when the rascal
ity about the Black Hills is settled ther
he will stop his rascality.
