Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Charles D. Poston, of Arizona, on Indian Affairs: Delivered in the House of Representatives, Thursday, March 2, 1865 Mr. Poston. I move to amend by inserting the following clause: For colonizing friendly Indians in Arizona on a reservation on the Colorado river and supplying them with implements of husbandry and seeds to enable them to become self-sustaining, the sum of $150,000, to be expended under the direction of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. I desire to say that in the very short time that the Territory of Arizona has had the honor of representation on this floor it has been impossible to mature and pass through the proper committees measures providing for the settlement and regulation of Indian affairs in that Territory. I am therefore obliged to rely upon the generosity of the House to adopt the amendment which is now presented. It is essentially necessary that the friendly Indians of Arizona should be colonized upon a reservation before the white settlers can enter upon an exploration of the rich mineral resources of that Territory without danger of collision, and as a great benefit to both Indians and whites the measure will commend itself to every sense of justice, policy, and economy. Mr. Windom. I simply desire to say that this proposition was before the Committee on Indian Affairs, and was carefully examined by them. Maps and reports on the subject, and a communication from the Secretary of the Interior and the committee were unanimously in favor of the proposition; but there not being time to get a bill through the House, the gentleman from Arizona was advised to take this course and test the sense of the House on the question. Mr. Poston. Mr. Chairman, Arizona, more than any other Territory of the United States, rises to the dignity of historic fame; it is even pro-historic, reaching far back into the dim traditions of the Aztecs. As everywhere else on earth, the history of man is here distinctly marked by the struggle between civilization and barbarism. The Aztecs lived in continual warfare with the barbarous tribes of the mountains, and their descendants to this day maintain the warfare bequeathed to them by their ancestors.
