Our Obligation to Indians

0NE Of the sorry pages IN the history Of
the United States is the way the white
man treated the Indian when he conquered
North America While We are not ready to
abandon this community or our own per
soIial property. and turn it back over to the
Indians. perhaps the Indians have the best
claim to it.
Though ave are not willing to undo all Of
the wrongs We have committed, we should
be willing to refrain from continuing to
commit such wrongs Now comes the qucs-
ton Of building the Kinzua dam on the AL
lcghany River. It seems that this dam
would store water which would automatic
ally flood 5000 acres Of the Allegheny Res
crvaton.
The flooding of these lands would dis
place 1000 Seneca Indians. These would be
the descendants of the same Indians who
were promised, back in 1890 by none other
than George Washington that: IN the fu-
ture YOU cannot be defrauded of your lands
no State or person can purchase your
lands unless at some public treaty held I'M
der the authority of the United States. The
General Government will never consent to
YOUR being defrauded. but it will protect
YOU il all Your Just rights
George Washington uttered some famous
words in his time. We hope these words,
which he uttered in 1890, will not become
any more famous than they already are.
Those opposing the building of the Kinzua
dam say that three or four small dams
could be built in its place, which would al
