Executive Departmknt, Chero
koo Nation, Tahlequah, 1. T., May
18, 1888 -To tlio Honorable the
Senate in session assembled—
Gentlemen : I herewith respcct
fully return the bill entitled "An
act providing for tho paymont of
the balance duo on lands west of
96°, per capita," which originated
in your body, lor tho following
reasons:
To tho payment of the money
por capita I do not object; but to
the part of tlio bill which confines
that payment to a certain class of
citizens, exclusive of othor classes,
I do object, as calculated to dofeat
the object of tho bill, bocause con-
tfHTy to our constitution and our trc<it-
The part of the bill I refer to
is the part confining the payment
to Cherokoo citizeDS by right of
Chcrokeo Mood.
(1) It may be said that the pay-
mont per capita in 1831-82 was
niadg to this class entirely upon
the ground that they alono had a
right to that money. This is true.
It may be also said that the lands
of the Cherokee Nation west, in*
eluding those now considered, wero
conveyoJ to thr Cherokoo Nation,
at that timo composed wholly ol
Cherokcoa by blood. This is Also
true. It in ay be said ttiaf no deed
of conveyance has linn, been made
to otter classes of citizens, and that
tho colored citizens and adopted
whitos have paid nothing for thoir
interest in these lands. That al-
so rannot bo disputed. Lastly, it
ma3 he said that tho Shawuco and
Delawaro citizens have paid noth-
ing lor an equal interest with na-
tive Cherokees to the lands west of
the Arkansas River. That is also
undeniable.
But, senate™, it iajnstasfrva and
indisputable that tho Cherokees by
blood, who wero onco the sole own-
ers of the eastern country and this
wore lompetont and qualified to
s haro their common interest with
whoever they might ohoone. There
aro two methods of disposing ol tho
nationnl right to this country. One
is a sale of lands by national au-
thority alone. Tho other is by in-
corporating outsiders, and invest-
ing thetn wuh the right* and priv-
ileges of native Cherokees without
qualification. In either case the
common proporty interest of other
citizens is decreased just in propor-
tion to the nmount of land sold or
share parted with. What I now
affirm is that the Cherokee Nation
ol Indians had tho right of proper-
ty holdors to either sell their com-
mon property to, or share it with,
others, if they saw fit, for largo or
little consideration—by agreement,
contract, or treaty,wr of thoir own
notion and will.
Tho question is now whether tho
native Cherokees havo dono this as
respects tho colored and other clas-
ses of this nation. Let me remark
that it is neither my right, duty in
tcrest or desiro to reduce in the
least Interost of any portion of our
people, whethor "old settlers," em
igrant Cherokees, or any other
clans, but any portion of the people
having an exclusive interest can, if
they so choose,^art with or sharo
it with others not before entitled.
Tho whole nation can do tlio same
with tho national interest in lands,
money, and rights. The question
is, lias tho n"<!"r done so? If it has
