Each of the forty families of tribes who occupy the American continent, north of the mouth of the Rio Grande del Norte, between sea and sea, have more or less claims to nationality in history and languages, condition and prospects. To attain objects which are at once so definite and comprehensive, from so large a geographical area, and such a diversity of tribes, required an amount and felicity of research which could hardly be supposed ever to fall to the lot of a single individual, however favourably situated, without concurrent aid of inquirers in the field. By this act the Department is directed "to collect and digest such statistics and materials as may illustrate the history, the present condition, and the future prospects of the Indian Tribes of the United States." I VERY respectfully submit the fifth report of my investigations under a provision of the act of 3d March, 1847. COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR. And if the present themeīe infinitely small, compared with acts that tried the energy of statesmen, and the valour of warriors, there is some gratification in thinking that the crisis threw the minds of exalted men in our public councils with increased intensity on the ancient and widespread Indian race, - a race who were the normal sovereigns of the country, and of whose fate and fortunes no good man, certainly, can reproach himself for having thought kindly, or acted generously.
The invasion of the rights of Texas the determination of the boundaries of Oregon and the overthrow by armies of volunteers, of the ancient empire of Montezuma, were the subjects of warm discussion and grave consideration. Many questions of high political moment were presented to that CONGRESS. It was not, however, till the twenty-ninth Congress, under your administration of the War-Department, that inquiries into their mental and moral character, industrial means, and social position and prospects, were publicly instituted. The jus civile and their territorial right are not here alluded to, having ever been inviolate under the Constitution. But, as in all other themes, whose advocates have contented themselves with the expression of wishes and sentiments, the Indian has, in the meantime, lived on in his position of overrated glory and underrated misery, till time has brought him to the middle of the nineteenth century, with increased claims, as he has shown an increased title, to sympathy. It has been the aim of one class of writers as much to exalt his character above, as of another to depress it below, the proper standard. Europe has vied with America on the subject. The "poor Indian" has been the theme of poets and philanthropists for centuries. In dedicating this work to you, I indulge an appreciating sense of your original approval of its plan and prosecution and your friendly consideration in placing the investigation in my hands.
