Abstract
"When Palmer addressed the council he said: 'We do not come to steal your land. We pay you more than it is worth. There is the Umatilla Valley that affords a little good land between two streams and all around it is a parched up plain. What is it worth to you, what is it worth to us? Not half what we have offered you for it.' Kip wrote that all but the Nez Perce were disinclined to the treaty and added: 'It was melancholy to see their reluctance to abandon the old hunting grounds of their fathers and their impotent struggle against the overpowering influence of the whites.'"
