On getting this news, the minds of our people were still more drawn towards the whites. COUNCIL ADDRESSED BY LITTLE PAUL AND LITTLE CROW. Then we had a consultation in regard to the mixed-bloods, who, though they were white, were children of the Indians. It was thought to be wrong that their property should be taken from them, and that therefore their horses and wagons should be returned to them. After we had discussed the matter, it was decided to demand the property, and Little Paul was chose...n as spokesman to present the matter to the hostile Indians. We again painted our faces, took our guns, and went to the Medawakanton camp; and when we arrived at their soldiers' lodge, Little Paul said what he was told to say. * Then the pub- lic crier of the M'edawakantons arose and said, "The mixed-bloods ought not to be alive, they should have been killed. But now you say their property should be returned to them. We will never do so. " Little Crow spoke next, and said that he was the leader of those who had made war on the whites ; that as long as he was alive no white man should touch him; that if he ever should be taken alive, he would be made a show of before the whites; and that, if he was ever touched by a white man, it would be after he was dead.
