The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1896-11-21

try and who will subject our people to
the same line OF small, exasperating and
| aggressive tTespasses that drove the IN
dams allotted in Kansas, as the Shaw
; nees, Delawares, Pottamatomies and 9th
ers, out of that state for refuge in the
Indian Territory.
We are not aware that the total involv
ed would be large, yet we are fully adj
vised that the huge development under
the new condition in opening to its full
productive power our Indian domain will
be Of great advantage to the United
States, and that the United States will
be fully repaid out Of the revenue that
will flow therefrom.
4. We realize that the great benefits
our people have derived from our edu-
cational institutions and also that many
Of our people will by the new conditions
be reduced to restitution, and, being anx-
iously desirous Of providing for the
children of such citizens. We wish to set
aside land out of our domain to be a per-
manent investment for the benefit of GER
tain educational institutions sufficient for
the education Of these children. We shall
further insist that the institutions We
have erected for educating our people
shall be sustained by the United States
under their Carlisle system
5. We will maintain our tribal govern
ment as long as possible.
Before relinquishirg tribal government
and before the disintegration OF
land shall be made we shall insist that
all the conditions heretofore set up shall
have been carried out
z. We will never consent to a terrific
rial government or a union with Okla
homa territory.
s. When a change Of government takes
place we will ask that the proposed
agreements provide admission as state
OF the union with constitutional provis-
ion irrepealable, protecting the property
rights and political privileges of our PEG
pie, the constitution to be made by our
own people, with absolute prohibition Of
the liquor traffic
We represent sixty-five thousand OF
sober, Industrious, self-supporting and
God-fearing people, owners Of the entire
soil OF the Indian Territory by solemn
treaty and patented titles; people who
came TO wilderness, driven by force,
and made it a cultivated land; people
VINO have erected schools, churches and
courts of justice, and governments I'M
der which they have found safety and
happiness. We rely on the justice of our
cause and the guidance of Divine Prov
iGence. and We appeal to the moral sem
timent of great and magnanimous ma
ton, in whose hands is our ultimate des-
tiny, and in whose honorable national
life and history We have earned decent
and honorable place.
The above resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted without a negative voice.
