~Milks Camp~ BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY: IF THE AMERIKANS REFUSE TO SURRENDER THIS MAN OR PROSECUTE HIM UNDER THEIR OWN LAWS THEN ITS MY TIME. PREPARE TO DEFEND YOURSELVES BECAUSE ONCE THIS BEGINS THE AMERIKAN GESTAPO WILL BEGIN TRYING TO DO SWEEPS OF HOSTILE AND MILITANT LAND AND PEOPLE DEFENDERS. ASK NO QUARTER AND EXPECT NO QUARTER AND REMEMBER ALWAYS THAT WARRIORS AND BRAVES OF THE DAKOTA DIE WITH ARMS IN THEIR HANDS. OUR ANCESTORS MADE THE MISTAKE OF LAYING THEIRS DOWN I WILL NOT DO THE SAME: Under Article 1 of this Treaty between The People of the Seven Council Fires and the People of the United States there is a clear breach by the american government in refusing to hold their own citizens and officials accountable for their ongoing ACTS OF GENOCIDE in the here and now. Since the americans refuse to HONOR this treaty in any way shape or form so do i and i will no longer abide by the first sentence of Article 1 until the americans begin honoring the following the words: If bad men among the whites, or among other people subject to the authority of the United States, shall commit any wrong upon the person or property of the Indians, the United States will, upon proof made to the agent and forwarded to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs at Washington City, proceed at once to cause the offender to be arrested and punished according to the laws of the United States, and also re-imburse the injured person for the loss sustained.
