Scope and Content Notes
Photocopy of the booklet, "The Indian Question Discussed by Spencer S. Stevens of the Cherokee Nation." This is a detailed discussion of the Eurocentric view of what was referred to as "the Indian problem." Stevens calls for the U. S. government to adopt and adhere to some well defined policy that is "just, wise and humane," and outside of party politics, but favors "civilization and Christianization." Stevens further urges that the Indian "be incorporated into the civil body politic, with all the rights, privileges and immunities, duties and responsibilities of American citizenship." The original manuscript is in the Western History Collection at the University of Oklahoma. Folder 47
