indian tribe or nation shall bo be acknowledged ed or recognized M as an independent nation tribe or power with which the US may contract a treaty it is stated that there is a law later than this modifying or repealing this provision pro cislon the point is made therefore that this act works an entire change in our traditional indian policy and that there can be no negotiation with indians on

act as it was made since sinco july 20 1837 1857 but as it has not been specially ratified by act of congress it is urged that it is still and that all the proceedings under it are void BELFAST me mo
