Montezuma's Undated Notes

Share this

1 January 1894

Montezuma describes the condition of Native Americans, who have lost their old way of life completely but are not yet acclimated to the modern society. He decries the Indian Bureau and the reservation system, and says that the "blood of Jesus Christ", combined with off-reservation work and education, will save the Indians. They are hand-written notes in pencil, with much crossed out- perhaps for a lecture or pamphlet "rough draft"? Montezuma mentions the year 1894: month and day are approximate.
