Below is a short piece of news about Sitting Bull, the famous Indian chief and him "inciting hostility."
This in an excerpt from an 1878 edition of the American Missionary which also carried news on native American Indians. As you
can see from the news below, the status of Indians was still an issue in those days. The value of these bits and pieces of information
today is that they show us undigested data about the daily life of people in those days, unlike the history books compiled with the agenda
of their authors. These are still news of the original events, not retrospective views.

The Sitting Bull Commission report that that doughty chief will not return to this country at present from his retreat across the Canada border. His camp, however, keeps up communication with hostile tribes, stimulating dissatisfaction, and inciting hostility; it furnishes an asylum, also, to fugitives from justice-one hundred of the defeated Nez Perces are now there. The commission suggests, as required by international comity and usage, that they be removed so far into the interior of the neutral State that they can no longer threaten in any manner the peace and safety of our citizens.
