Their children have learned to read and write.
"Now, I will give you an outline of the terms we offer you.

If you agree to take treaty, every one this year gets a present of $12.00.
A family of five, man, wife and three children, will thus get $60.00; a family of eight, $96.00; and after this year, and for every year afterwards, $5.00 for each person forever.

To such chiefs as you may select, and that the Government approves of, we will give $25.00 each year, and the counsellors $15.00 each.

The chiefs also get a silver medal and a flag, such as you see now at our tent, right now as soon as the treaty is signed.

Next year, as soon as we know how many chiefs there are, and every three years thereafter, each chief will get a suit of clothes, and every counsellor a suit, only not quite so good as that of the chief.
Then, as the white men are coming in and settling in the country, and as the Queen wishes the Indians to have lands of their own, we will give one square mile, or 640 acres, to each family of five; but there will be no compulsion to force Indians to go into a reserve.
