Speech #890201961

I wish to address myself and call the attention of Senators to the American Indians. and the new destiny which I think can be theirs. Mr. President. the worst mistake the American Indians ever made. someone has said. was that they had too loose and slipshod an immigration policy. They let the bars down. and they have had cause to regret it ever since. Chief Powhatan might well have said. "There goes the neighborhood." From the Indians standpoint the best remedial policy might be to start a colonization program to send all us nonIndians to some foreign frontier and let us start anew.
