Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners to the President of the United States, 1871 His report will be found herewith, marked A a. When Red Cloud visited Washington, in July of last year, it was maintained by a portion of the Western press, and the people of the frontier, that his return would be marked by the renewal of outrages upon the settlers. Happily, the prediction was not realized, and peace still continues. The Sioux are extremely sensitive in regard to the slightest encroachment upon their reservation, or the hunting grounds allotted to them in the treaty of 1868, and have objected even to the establishment of an agency for their own benefit within its limits. They are impressed with the conviction that where one white man is allowed to enter their territory many will inevitably follow. In view of their past experience, we cannot think them unreasonable in this. The same wise consideration which led the Government to withdraw the garrisons of Forts Reno, C. F. Smith, and Phil. Kearney, in 1868, and to prevent the proposed Big Horn expedition in 1870, should induce a proper effort to gain their consent by negotiation, before permitting any breach of the treaty stipulations by the invasion of their hunting grounds by surveying or exploring parties. It is believed that the privilege which may be deemed necessary for the Northern Pacific Railroad Company may be had by negotiation. at a moderate cost, whereas the attempt to sieze it without will probably occasion a renewal of the war. Visit of the Cheyenne, Arapahoe, and Witchita chiefs to the East. The wisdom of keeping faith, in honestly fulfilling our part of the treaties, and in making the chiefs acquainted with the character and resources of our people, by inviting them to visit the East, is thus practically demonstrated by our present relations with these Sioux. Some of the chiefs of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes of the southern plains, in acceptance of a similar invitation, visited Washington and the other principal cities of the East, during the past summer. The kind treatment they received from the President and executive officers of the Government at Washington, and from the citizens of Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, (see Appendix A, No.1, ) made so favorable an impression on their minds that, on their return to the Indian country, when their neighbors, the Kiowas, angry at the arrest of their chiefs, Satanta and Satauk, earnestly pressed them to go on the war path, they promptly refused. If the Cheyennes and Arapahoes had joined their forces with the Kiowas, we should have had a bloody war. But the Kiowas, finding themselves unsupported, had the wisdom to abandon the project and remain at peace. Arrest And Punishment Of Kiowa Chiefs. The Kiowa chiefs had been invited to accompany the delegation of Cheyenne, Arapahoe, and Witchita chiefs on their visit to the East, but had been dissuaded from so doing by some evil-minded half-breeds who were in the habit of inciting them to raids on the Texas frontier, and who feared their vicious trade in the product of the robberies would be broken up. The consequence was, that while the other chiefs visited our principal cities, they went on one of those plundering tours into Texan, and, boasting of it on their return home, were arrested by General Sherman, and justly punished.

Excerpt from Twenty-Third Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners: 1891 It has been wisely suggested, however, that these quasi courts might be made real courts presided over by justices having some knowledge of the law, and receiving a fair compensation for their services, an In dian jury trying the facts. These courts should be provided on all the reservations. A system of court commissioners, related to the present United States courts, has been suggested for the graver causes, and with a right of appeal to the United States courts. This plan has met with favor, and if some well-conditioned system shall be devised, not too complicated, and so conditioned as to melt away of itself when the Indians become citi zens, it seems to us it would be wise legislation.

Excerpt from Fifth Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners: To the President of the United States; 1873 Early in the year the deplorable events of the Modoc rebellion produced serious apprehensions in the public mind in regard to the designs of other Indian tribes in Oregon, and a distrust of the peace policy, which were not shared by those conversant with the subject. The peaceable conduct of the Indians, and the fact which came to be understood, that the peace policy was in no way responsible for the Modoc war. but, on the contrary, would have prevented it, soon dissipated both the apprehensions and distrust. All the tribes west of the Rocky Mountains remained in a state of uninterrupted peace. In the spring information received at the Indian Department excited grave apprehensions of trouble with the Sioux in Wyoming Territory, and the Utes in Colorado. It was also anticipated that the encroachments of the whites upon the Crow reserve, in Montana, might interrupt the friendly relations existing with that tribe. The chairman of the Board, at the solicitation of the honorable Secretary of the Interior, visited each of these tribes. In the cases of the Utes and the Crows the inciting causes of trouble were removed by the purchase of that part of their respective reservations already encroached upon by the miners, and such additional territory as is likely to be required for many years. The peaceable intent of the Sioux of the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies was confirmed by the visit to them, and the Indians of Red Cloud's bands were induced to remove their agency to a suitable place about eighty miles north of the North Platte River. The chairman was accompanied to the council with the Sioux by Hon. J.A. Campbell, governor of Wyoming, and Messrs. E. C. Kemble and H. E. Alvord, as co-commissioners, and Gen. John E. Smith; and to the Crow agency by Messrs. E. Whittlesey and James Wright, commissioners, Gen. N. B. Sweitzer, and the secretary of the Board. In the report of the Board for 1870, and on other occasions, our opinion has been expressed in opposition to the policy of making treaties with Indian tribes through their chiefs, as with civilized sovereignties; urging, however, at the same time, a strict adherence to existing treaties, and claiming the proper status of the Indians to be that of wards of the Government. The negotiations of the chairman and his colleagues have been conducted upon this principle with the masses of the tribes, as well as the chiefs, and as representatives both of the Government and its wards, whose interests they felt bound to protect. The results are embodied in simple contracts for the retrocession of territory heretofore confirmed to the Indians by the Government. The contracts with the Crows and the Utes, and that with the Sho-shones made the previous summer, are conditional upon the ratification of Congress, and your attention is respectfully solicited to the subject of the legislation required, as one which we deem of much importance to the United States and to the Indians. The proceedings in detail of the several commissions are herewith respectfully submitted. The civilized nations and tribes of the Indian Territory continue to improve. There has been a fair increase in the number of schools and churches. A much larger number of children attend the schools, and reasonable progress has been made in agricultural industry.
