Civilized Arrow Shots from an Apache Indian, 1902

AWAY WITH INDIANS! THEY CANNOT BE CIVILIZED!

So says the frontiersman.

My words are not for this man.

He does not justify all there is in civilization.

The Indian is human; if cheated, wronged and misused, he will justly resent it, the same as the white man.

I deny that the Indian is more of a savage than the white man.

I deny that the scalping knife and the tomahawk are more significant of great savagery than the sword and gattling gun of the pale face.

Can the Indian produce such destructive and cruel implements of warfare as the monstrous canon and that death-dealing explosive, the Lydite?

Yet this same man will use every means to influence the Government to appropriate large sums of money for the reservations in his state or territory, as if he were actually the redman’s almoner.

The white man looks after his own interest. Why not allow the Indian to do the same thing?
