the continuance OF the fixed policy Of
the state 20 do Justice to all dependent
citizens anu peoples of this state, and
especially to protect the lives liberty
and property OF the resident Indians
within our borders. In part proof of
the same, We respectfully refer to
the constitution of our state, which
grants fun suffrage to all adult male
Indian citizens Of our state with the
right to participate in the election OF
the governor and all the state officers,
congressman and members Of each
branch OF the legislature. and all dis
trict, county and townhsip officers,
and with the further qualifications of
holding any of the said offices as
evidenced by our electing one sena-
tor, and one congressman of Indian
blood from this state To the United
States Congress, and twelve members
of the Legislature from Indian mem
bership by blood of the Five Civilized
Tribes together with numerous coun-
ty and township officers; that no dis

congress that there be not only no
intent to rob the Indians Of their
lands. but that we will positively pro

lie believes that the removal all along
the line laid out in the following mem
orial, IL carried out this winter, will
be as much as could hope to be done,
and IN fact, as much as the state ought
to desire at this time.
The section relating to roadways
Is especially suitable to the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations to enable citi-
zens TO open rocds, especially In the
timberland and mountain belts, where
there are many creeks and rivers at

suiting the Indian and yet saving the
expense of purchasing roads. With
out this amendment ne maintains
that there be no way of getting roads
other than section line. and that even
that would be difficult: that true,
most Indians would willingly give up
roadway around their allotment but
