Rebok, H: Last of the Mus-Qua-Kies and the Indian Congress,

Excerpt from The Last of the Mus-Qua-Kies and the Indian Congress, 1898

As civilization grows older in our country, the Indian, once a theme for romance and song, becomes a subject for our philosophy. The object of the white man's benevolence and malevolence, his assimilation has been slow. Mixture with French, Spanish, Negro, Mexican, and anglo-saxon breeds has not improved his kind. The virus of our blood and the poison of our still have left him a degenerate. And a full-blood is as highly prized among the pupils of an Indian school as a thoroughbred among a herd of bronchos.
