Letter from Edward D. Neill to Hon. N. G. Taylor: “Effort and Failure to Civilize the Aborigines”
Title: Letter from Edward D. Neill to Hon. N. G. Taylor:
Creator: Neill, Edward D.
Description: In this excerpt from an 1868 letter, Edward Neill argues in vitriolically racist terms that the United States and Minnesota governments should not recognize Ojibwe nationhood but should impose assimilationist terms on US-Ojibwe relations. Neill generalizes these views to include all Native peoples and nations with which the United States interacts.
