Overview

Excerpt from Twenty-Third Annual Report of the Board of Indian Commissioners: 1891 It has been wisely suggested, however, that these quasi courts might be made real courts presided over by justices having some knowledge of the law, and receiving a fair compensation for their services, an In dian jury trying the facts. These courts should be provided on all the reservations. A system of court commissioners, related to the present United States courts, has been suggested for the graver causes, and with a right of appeal to the United States courts. This plan has met with favor, and if some well-conditioned system shall be devised, not too complicated, and so conditioned as to melt away of itself when the Indians become citi zens, it seems to us it would be wise legislation.
