I certify that the foregoing agreement was read and explained by me, and was fully understood by the above named Sioux Indians before signing ; and that the same was executed by the said Sioux Indians at Santee Agency, County of Knox and State of Nebraska, on the 27th day of October, A. D. 1876.
SAMUEL D. HINMAN, Official Interpreter.
Inasmuch as thousands of the descendants of these Indian chieftains and headmen and others are now living in the western counties of the Dakotas, who have been reared in civilized homes and taught in the English language by the common schools, they are able to read and understand this Black Hills agree- ment, and doubtless many of them will recognize among the signers to the agreement their own ancestors who were influential members of their race at the time their people lived under the tribal organization. They will also be able to judge for themselves that the Government of the United States was mindful of the material and moral condition and welfare of these ancestors and of their descendants, in making the agreement which surrendered the Black Hills country to the Great Father and his Government, a country, though rich in gold and less valuable minerals, was of no practical value to the Indians of that day, who possessed no knowledge of the art of mining. They will now understand that before any great amount of gold or other mineral can be taken from the Black Hills deposits, hundreds of thousands of dollars had first to be expended in finding the gold in the earth and rocks and in building machinery that would separate and secure it.
REMOVAL TO INDIAN TERRITORY
Under Article 4 of the agreement submitted to the Sioux by the Indian Treaty Commission of 1876, the Indians were given the alternative of selecting a reserva- tion in the Indian Territory, and were invited to send a delegation to that country for the purpose of inspecting it. The Government authorities favored the removal of the Sioux from Dakota for a number of reasons: First, that the Indian Territory would furnish them a region better suited to agricultural pursuits, which thenceforth they were expected to follow, peaceably and willingly; and they would also have the advantage of civilized Indians as neighbors, who would be able to render them valuable assistance in their new mode of life. But neither of these inducements appealed with any force to the Sioux, who had yet, in a vast majority of individuals, to overcome their natural disinclination to civiliza- tion in any form.
