Abstract
"I think, beyond some clothing and a small amount of supplies no further expense of moment need be incurred by the Indian department. This statement, however, is based on the fact that there are no further Indian hostilities; should it be otherwise, and the Indians be not prevented from fishing, hunting, and obtaining roots and berries and their usual means of subsistence, by being driven from their fishing grounds, root and berry fields, then the question presents itself, shall the Indian department feed and protect the friendly Indians who have and will continue to maintain good faith towards the whites or not? I give it as my opinion that public policy should dictate that should, under such circumstances, be done; it would inspire faith in the government and agents, on the part of the Indians."
