The trial of Chief Oshkosh for the murder of Pawnee tribe member Okeguay due to a Menominee tradition of retaliation executions served less as an execution of justice and more as a drawn-out legal proceeding with no direct consequences and massive legal ramifications.

Baird records that upon his motion for final judgment in light of the conviction, “the Judge gave, at length, an opinion upon which facts states in the special verdict”. The Judge Doty proclaimed that “as the individual who had been killed by the accused was himself a Indian, and the accused was one of the nation amongst whom a custom existed, allowing the relation of…

The Wampanoag interpreted it as an invasion of hostile spiritual power. Weaken by the epidemic, they lived in fear of their rivals, and was of urgent need of alliances.…
The Quapaw indian tribe had it rough for a time Quapaw Indians lived in four villages near the confluence of the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers when they were first contacted by the French explorers Marquette and Joliet in 1673.

After living among the Cherokee in North Georgia as a missionary, I have discovered that the Indian peoples are quite useful. They are all civilized in their own way and know how to work hard for the things that they receive. Their work and harvest skills are impeccable and would be an excellent asset to any community. Although many of the white settlers coming to Georgia wish to dispose of the Indians, it would ultimately be more beneficial for them to stay. The Indians should be able to stay and I am willing to do anything to make this a possibility.…
