Show WILLIAM WASH: - I hear about the way Secretary of the Interior talk to ^ . I always take Washington's advice. About farming, about every thing, I never say no any time. hie land t.hci is allotted to me is mine. »p>i ..*••, -.1 I can't wait to go work on my land; I have been florV.ine^l way Washington want me to. I have a fence around eighty acres. I am putting in some crops. I got hands to work with like evex'y body. I lost a good deal of money in some way by White men renting my farm. This leasing of land to the whites is a swindle. If I work it myself I get the money that comes from the farming. The Indians do not know how to make money off their land. They don't know wether the white man is handling it right or not. I bought plows and harrow from you and gave you money out of my own poclcet. know that. About the Wniterivers. Washington never told them to go to another country. They are getting themselves poor. Losing everything. This is their home. I think just like Chapoo'se, I want every thing to he right. Don't want little 6hildren starving. It makes me feel sorry when people move around and let\lit tie children get hurt. They are pretty hard up I think. Maybe they come back now to raise something. |
