Indian laws. IL non-citizen comes
among these Indians for the purpose
of plying his trade or practicing his
profession and occupies lands which
belong to these Indians II seems 20
me that good faith would require
that he should not divert these lands
to a use prohibited by the local laws
of this tribe, destroy the integrity OF
its government, and practically alb
rOgate that provision of tho Treaty
which guarantees that tine govern
ment of the United States viii pro-
I tect the Choctaw Indians gaiust
/ Just such aggressions. It has for
years, as / understand il, been the
ruling of the department Of the
/ Interior, that any uon-citiZen who
/ lives among these Indians in open
violation and defiance of their local
I laws, is an intruder, and ought TO he
removed. And il seems 70 me that
/ this ruling is founded in the very
\ highest principles of natural Justice.
1 If, therefore, = non-citlzen comes
among these Choctaw Indians with
out permission from such Indians
and from the United States govern
ment, it is the duty Of the Indians TO
apply TO the executive department
of the government to have him RE-
moved, and il j. clearly tne duty ~
the Indian Agent Go do it, Ii non
citizen comes into this indian couu-
4 trv with the consent of the Indians
ard the United States government,
and openly violates their local laws
and If the Commissioner of Indian
affairs, together with the Secretary
of The interior can be made 10 be-
/ lieve that his conduc, and presence
DC detrimental 10 the peace and
welfare of the Indians, they would
undoubtcdiy remove nim.
In either case, therefore, whether
a man is wrongfully here in the first
instance, or rightfully here and CON
Quoting himscly wrongiuily and iu
manner to leopard the peace and
welfare Of the Indians, Congress has
afforded an ample and complete
remedy and has pledged these
Indians by treaty stipdiatioHa aad by
express statute TO enforce that
remedy.
The question as to Che property
rights Of the intruder would then he
question for determination and
adjustment at the proper time and
before the proper tribunal.
