| Description | This 40-page mimeographed report was written by the tribe's last Indian agent, Melvin L. Robertson, in 1958, to answer the many questions he had received about tribal history and their transition from reservation to independent status under the U.S. government policy of "termination." It opens with a brief history of the tribe, and then discusses in detail conditions on the reservation in the 20th century. An abstract of each treaty starts on page 20 and a detailed, 10-page chronology beginning on page 25 gives a wealth of detail about the post-treaty era; a page of 1958 tribal statistics follows at the end. |
