CONDITION OF THE INDIANS
Tersely Summarized I'm the Annual Repor,
of Gen. Morgan.


of Gen. Morgan.
The present condition of the Indians is thus
tersely summarized in the annual report Of
Gen. Morgan, the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs:
The Indians, while alike as belonging to one
common. race and as sustaining to the United
States government the general relation of
wards, differ among themselves very widely in
language, manners, customs, religion and en-
vironment. They represent great number Of
distinct phases If human development. Some
are yet very degraded, living a mere animal
life with few OF the characteristics oil humanity,
while others have already become absorbed
into our national life and are not distinguish
able from their fellow citizens. Some still liv I,
By hunting and fishing; others, Ike the
Navajos, are successful herders; many cultivate
the soil with an increasing degree Of success,
and others already participate in manafac tur-
ing, mercantile and professional life.
While some like the White Mountain Apaches,
are almost utterly destitute of anything that
may be characterized as education, Others like
the Poncas and the Pawnees, have almost all
their children Of suitable age in school. While
the great majority out OF the $50 600 receive
absolutely nothing directly from the govern
mcnt in the way OF subsistence or support
others, like the Sioux, Cheyennes and Arapa-
hoes and San Carlos Apaches, are dependent
largely upon government rations.
While many, like those just mentioned, are
under the immediate control of tho govern
ment and require more or less vigilant surveil-
lance. multitudes OF others, such as tine Indians
in New York, those in Michigan and the 65, 900
of the five civilized tribes, are only nominalIy
under government control, while thousands
like the Santee Sioux, the Sissetons and Wah-
petons, the Nez Perces, the Puyallups, &C.. are,
by the operation Of the land in severalty law,
becoming citizens and gradually passing out
from under governmental supervision.
At this time there are in the United States
over IL, 600 Indians who have become citizens.
either under the general allotmentact or under
special acts or treaties, and nearly 1000 others
who have, by taking aIlotments, signiHed their
desire to become citizens and who win be en-
titled to the rights Of such as soon as the
patents provided for by, law shall have been
issued to the allottees. This statement does
not include the allotments recently made in the
territory OF Oklahoma under the agreements
ratified by the last Congress.
