Treaty: tribes stay
on homelands
(Continued from page 1)
The tribes ceded much of
their land, giving up "that part
of the Willamette Valley, extend
ing southward from Oregon City
to Mary's River, and represent
ing the most valuable and thickly
settled part of the district."
While they ceded land, the
tribes refused to relocate. An
1851 report states:
"Not only did they all and
invariably refuse to listen to per
suasion and argument inducing
a removal from this portion of
the territory, but their reluctance
was almost equally great to aban
don their favorite situations. We
have found among all of them
the fixed impression that the
doom of their race was sealed,
and the same stubborn determi
nation to die where they were
born.
"Since the period, now about
30 years past, when the scourge
of a before unknown disease
smote down at once the power
and spirit of these tribes, their
decreasing remnants seem to
have singled out a few spots in
their ancient domain, where they
might abide their fate, at the
same time that they had contem
plated an ultimate sale of the
bulk of their territory. To all
previous inducements of the
whites to remove from these,
they have opposed a resistance
qualified only by want of
strength. We have, therefore,
found ourselves compelled,
against the wish of the govern
ment, as expressed in our in
structions, to accede to reserva
tions in the lands purchased."
In negotiating treaties with
the tribes, the federal govern
ment was following no particu
lar course of legal precedent.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs
L. Lea writes in 1851, regarding
the Indian tribes:
"The magnitude of the sub
ject, and the manifold difficul
ties inseparably connected with
it, seem to have bewildered the
minds of those who have at
tempted to give it the most thor
ough investigation.
"The remark of the late At
torney General Legare is not
more striking than true, that
'there is nothing in the whole
compass of our laws so anoma
lous, so hard to bring within any
precise definition, or any logical
and scientific arrangement of
principles, as the relation in
which the Indians stand towards
this government and those of
the states."
