To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Most of them settled on it time out of mind. They have divided those tracts up into small tracts, probably 25 or 50 or 75 acres. Mr. IiAYDEN. Are these tracts of land assessed like the other prop- erties ? Digitized by LjOOQIC 16 SCHOOL FOR INDIANS, BOBESON COUNTY, N. O. Senator Simmons. Yes, sir. Mr. Post. They have the privileges of the common schools there ? Senator Simmons. Yes, sir; that is, where thev teach the three R's. The Chairman. You say that we have no relations whatever with the I...ndians ? Senator Simmons. No, sir. The Chairman. Does the United States Government own any land there? Senator Simmons. There are the lands of the State. We have no public lands. In that sense they were the lands of the State. They settled on them before the white people went there, and they re- mained on them and acquired title bv long possession. The Chairman. And the State still recognizes them ? Senator Simmons. Yes, sir; although they have no original deeds from the State. Now, I want to say just this in addition: That this band of Indians — we sometimes speak of them as the Robeson County band of Indians — ^is probably more segregated from the white people and the colored people of the section in which they live than the Cherokee Band across the mountains is segregated from the white people of that section.
