Subject:       Thanks

Jim: Thanks for the reply and reference. I'm trying to dig up an Indian Affairs letter I found back in the 70's
instructing superintendents of reserves to issue trousers - with four pockets - to all male Indians. It was part
of their program to discourage and eliminate the practice of giving everything a
way and/or sharing. The four
pockets were to teach them to keep money - not give it away. I'll try and find it and send you a copy.

"Hitler's concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality
of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and
United States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in
South Africa and for the Indians in the Wild West; and often praised
to his inner circle the efficiency of America's extermination--by
starvation and uneven combat--of the 'Red Savages' who could not be
tamed by captivity." ("Adolf Hitler" by John Toland, p. 702)

"Set the blood-quantum at one-quarter, hold to it as a rigid
definition of Indians, let intermarriage proceed...and eventually
Indians will be defined out of existence. When that happens,the
federal government will finally be freed from its persistent
Indian problem." (Patricia Nelson Limerick, "The Legacy of
Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West" p338)
