The President transmits a report by the commission on Ponca removal to Indian Territory, noting most Ponca now in Indian Territory are content, while a fragment prefers Dakota land. He outlines future policy: education, individual allotment with inalienable land, compensation for lands lost, and eventual citizenship, urging swift equal footing with other residents. He bears personal responsibility for past injustices and calls for justice and humanity. The message favors continued support for Ponca rights and settlement.
