Excerpt from Proposed Indian Policy
Bishop Whipple (1880) wrote: Pledges solemnly made have been shamelessly violated. The Indian has had no redress ex cept war. In these wars ten white men have been killed to one Indian, and the Indians who were killed have cost the Govern ment each. Then came a new treaty, more violated faith and another war until we have not a hundred miles be tween the Atlantic and Pacific which has not been the scene of an Indian massacre.
