:25:05
Well, G.W.,
it's been a long time.
:25:07
G. W: Not long enough...
Cuthbert.
:25:12
Your husband is a rude man.
:25:14
Yes, Cuthbert, l know.
:25:28
Where you want the lndians,
Mr. McLintock?
:25:31
Mr. McLintock is not
running this hearing.
:25:34
Sergeant, seat those lndians.
:25:35
Yes, sir.
:25:37
Gentlemen, be seated.
:25:40
Their whole tribe here
wanted to come into town.
:25:43
Proceed, Lieutenant.
:25:46
This hearing
is now in session,
:25:49
Governor Cuthbert Humphreys
presiding.
:25:51
BECKY: Good luck, Daddy.
:25:52
G. W: l'm afraid
it's a packed court.
:25:54
MAN:
Government edict number 826.
:25:56
"As ordered that the Comanche
nation be transferred..."
:25:59
"from their present reservation
to Fort Sill,"
:26:02
"it is the government's claim as
filed by lndian agent Agard..."
:26:07
"that these chiefs, after being
released from prison..."
:26:10
"by a kindly government..."
:26:11
"did then rouse and incite
defiance among the tribe..."
:26:14
"against said order."
:26:16
lt seems, gentlemen,
:26:17
that although some of these
chiefs speak English...
:26:20
Chief Puma is quite at home
in our language...
:26:23
they have chosen Mr. McLintock
to be their spokesman.
:26:27
G. W:
l speak for the Comanche...
:26:29
or rather l offer
this translation.
:26:32
Proceed, Mr. McLintock.
:26:40
We are an old people
and a proud people.
:26:44
When the White Man
first came among us,
:26:47
we were as many as
the grasses of the prairie.
:26:50
Now we are few,
but we are still proud.
:26:54
For if a man lose his pride
and manhood, he is nothing.
:26:58
You tell us now that if we will
let you send us away...
