Indians and Citizenship Ruling Seals Umatilla Case
A long account details Judge Fee on the Umatilla reserve citizenship issue, the whiskey prosecutions driving tribal tensions, and the dramatic 19th century clash over whether Indians on the reservation should be treated as citizens of the United States. The piece covers court scenes, arrests of chiefs, Dawes Act context, and the shifting authority among tribal, federal, and interior authorities.
