- Abstract
- Discusses problems of Indians and Whites. Feels that the Indians are justified in their many complaints about the white people. Brant has not had time to work on his history of the Six Nations, as he is constantly called upon to intervene in Indian affairs. Thinks that the United States is hypocritical in its position towards the Indians. Believes that the U.S. had better "lay down the hatchet and call a general treaty with the United Nations."
