They are in a great many res-pects like things that have happened to other Indians. In the intercourse between the Indians and the Govern-ment there have been a great many mistakes made on eachside. The mistake of the Indian has generally been hislack of understanding of the conditions, and his failure tosee anything good come from the many novel suggestionsof the Government,and various associations working osten-sibly for his benefit. On the part of the Government ithas generally been the lack of integrity and abilityin the various ministerial officers,rather than in the policyof the Government itself. Too often the Indian has been exploited for the advan-tage of those who were advising him and acting for himon behalf of the Government. This has tended to developa doubt among the Indians as to the Governments integ-rity,and only the cooler heads on both sides
