RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMISSIONENR, WasmNarton, D, C, Jan, 2.—The Com- misslon appointed by the President to pro- ceed to the Indian Territory and confer with the Poiea Indkans for the purpose of ascer- taining the facts in regard to thelr recent re- wmoval and present condition, so far as s necessary to determine tho guestion what Justlce and humanity require should be done by the United States Government in the premises, to-day submitted o report to the President, in which the following conclu- stons and recommendatlons are embodied : . FIRST, s Ihat tho removal of the Ponca Indinns from thie reservation In Dukota and Nebraska, where they were living by virtue of trentles with the United Btatea af 1859 and 1807, was not only most unfortunate for the Indians, resuiting in great hardshlps and gerlous loss of Hfe and property, but was.injudiclous and without sutficient cuusgo, s D, That tho Jands from which the Poncna had re- moved had heen ceded and relinquished to thetn by tho United States for nmple conslderntion, specttled {n tho troatfes; that the. Governmnent covenunted not only to warrant aud defend thelr title to theso lnnde, but to protect thelr persous und progerty thereon; that tha Indians had violnted no conditionot the treaty by which theirtitle to tho lands or claim to protection had beun forfeited, and that this rightful cinhin still exists in full forco nnd effect, notwithe stuiding nll ncts dono by the Government of the United Stutes, | ¥ THIRD. That, up to withinn few months of the pres- cnt thnv, they buvo manifested n desiie to ree turn to thefr reservation fn Dakota, and a pore tlon of them suceeeded In gotting back, The re- mainder of the tribe were grently discouruged In’ thefr offorts to return, and ns they tinully despaired of regainlog thelr rights under n bee Hor that the Governmont would not regard their title to the land fu Dakota ' ns_valld, gnd that thoy coutd'obtain a stiungortifio to the land. In” tuo Indiun Territory, as well ns othor prominent. conslderations, they declded to aceept tho best terms thoy conld obtuln, Thele Chief and head men ngreed to remaln in that Terrltory, Have ing oneo comltted themselves fn writing to that cuuree, they regarded thelraction as sucred, 60 fur #s they wero coneerned, and tho mnjoris ty of tholr peoplo seiulesced nnd fudorsed the uction of their hoad men, . FOURTIL That tho Indinns who have returned to their rescevation in Dakotn huve tho strongest ut- tachment 10 their lunds, und a resolute purpose toretain thom, They buve recelved no asslst- ance from the Government, and, except the lime Ited ald turniehed by beuevolent people, thoy huve been entirely solf-sustaining. With n fuw ugrloulturnl {inplements thoy have cultivated n considerable tract of land for their support. Thoy ure on friendly terms with alt othor Indian tribes, including the Sloux, ns well as the whito sottlers in tholr vicinity. They pray thoy may not agalh bo disturbed, and ask for a teacher to ald und Instruct thom In the arts of industry, und for u minister to tench thom the principles of morality und religion. IN THE SETTLEMENT OF THE PROBLEM presented by this state of nMairy, the Commislon believe the Government should bo controlted by 4 principle that would be applieble to nny peacenblo peoplo in tho sume eircumstances, and not only the welfitre of the Ponea Indinns, but tho future intluenco and suthority of the Gov- ernment over othor tribes (who aro better In- formed thun gonerntly supposed concerning tho olreumstances of tho Poncas) domand that thore should be nmplo and speedy redress of thelr wronys, thus exhibiting n consplouous exampls of tho Government's purpose to do justico to alk.
