"The Indian Question" by Francis Amasa Walker is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work examines the complex and often contentious relationship between the United States government and Native American tribes, particularly in light of legislative changes and policies implemented during this period. The text delves into the historical context of treaties, the rights of indigenous peoples, and the challenges surrounding their sovereignty and future. At the start of the book, Walker outlines the significant legislative changes that altered the recognition of Indian tribes, particularly the 1871 Congressional declaration that ended the federal acknowledgment of Indian nations as independent entities. He explores the ramifications of this decision on historical treaty agreements and the longstanding policies that previously recognized tribal sovereignty. Walker also reflects on the historical relationships between Native Americans and European settlers, emphasizing the need for a new approach to managing Indian affairs in light of changing dynamics and pressures from settlement expansion. He sets the stage for a deeper discussion of potential paths forward for both the government and the tribes, emphasizing the ineffectiveness of prior policies and the urgent need for more humane and effective measures.
