Show Uinta Council 41, taken away we do not want it to go. If they do say that we want y~ them to drop that talk, we don't want shed any blood about it. We don't want you to get mad about it, you are our friend and we want you to say "all right, rsy brother". These Indians do not understand all the white man is doing. I do not know how many years this reservation has been here; it may be thirty years since thi3 belonged to us. I don't want the white man to drive us on little farms. I don't like for white men to talk hardto us . Everything will go smooth, there will be no hard feelings. That i3 what all the Indians say. Sowsonocutt: Thi3 man tells the truth: they like this land. They want to keep it. They are not here for nothing. This land has been bought. That's the reason we do not w£~nt the white men to take it. Tne land belongs to me, I do not like for them to come here and talk to me about that. That makes me scared when you are talking here. The Indians have their stock running over this land; that is the reason they like to hold it. Even if the white man does say he is going to take this land I am not going to give it to him. This land was bought, I bought it. Terras, The way these men are talking I like that. Our children are on this reservation and all our things are here. The reason I am talking is because I have my living here. We do not want to go the way that man is talking in Washington, Uncasaa, I want to knew what you are talking about. You are talking about allotments. That is not good, I do not like it. I am telling that to you. This land the Indians do not want to sell. They do not want anybody coming to cut this land. |
