Indian Policy Reform Proposed by William Walsh
Mr. Walsh urges a permanent nonpartisan Indian Bureau to replace ad hoc efforts. He favors a two-branch leadership with civilian and military oversight, removal of tribal sovereignty in favor of individual land allotment, and abolition or modification of treaties as needed. The plan aims to civilize and educate Indians while protecting their life and property under a unified federal system.
