Abstract
"Kip, who did not record the arrival of the Yakimas in his journal, then mentioned Kamiakin. 'General Palmer said, 'I want to say a few words to these people, but before I do, if Kamiakin wants to speak, I would be glad to hear him.' Kaimakin, Yakima chief said: 'I have nothing to say.' Stevens asked 'How will Kamiakin or Skloom speak?' to which Kamiakin replied: 'What have I been talking about?' When Palmer addressed the council he said: 'We do not come to steal our land. We pay you more than it is worth. What is it worth to you, what is it worth to us? Not half what we have offered you for it.'"
