Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Legal Status of the American Indians: With Special Reference to the Tenure of Indian Lands At the outset, Ladies and Gentlemen, permit me to express my gratification at being granted the opportunity of laying before you a message from a remote country. It is indeed astonishing and to me a great satisfaction that you can be at all interested in the theme which I have been asked to discuss. It is an evidence of the catholicity of your interest in the science of law that you are willing to hear something more about an American Indian than a hair-raising, blood-curdling romance. You will have to be very indulgent with my speech. Indeed, my only excuse for appearing before you is the novelty of my theme and my familiarity with the same. My home is now, and has been for the past eight years, among the Indians, on the largest Indian reservation in the United States. As an attorney at law I have participated in all kinds of land litigation involving titles to Indian lands and in the important suits decided last month by the Supreme Court of the United States. In the brief time I shall ask you to hear me, I can, of course, give you only a birds-eye view of some of the aspects of my theme, but I trust my presentation, however fragmentary it may be, will at least bring to your attention some facts that may interest you.
