I'mutlUus and Walla Wallas, to welcome you today. You have come to us representing peace and friend ship, not war or exploitation. When ever the white man has offered the Indian the sentiments which you bring he has always been a welcome guest. In early times as well as In modern days. William Penn demonstrated that the Indian race wan not naturally hostile to the whites. It was cruelty and dishonesty on the part of the Eu ropean, not on the part of the Indian, which brought massacre and disturb ance. Our forefathers were without the light of civilisation, as civilization was viewed by the Pilgrims In Massachu setts and the Cavaliers of Virginia, but they were here first, and were entitled to Just treatment, whatever their opinions or mode of life. They did not receive it, and they fought for their homes and hunting grounds, Just as every race has fought. They were not to be blamed, and we, their chil dren, should not suffer because of an unhappy and misunderstood past.
