You will need to do that research yourself. My comment was to highlight how 'At the time, I doubt anyone was talking about it' is likely incorrect.

- rayiner 3y agoIf the article theory is that this was done in response to the court cases, all that should be in the article.
- eesmith 3y agoIt appears there simply isn't strong evidence for the reason for the redaction. There are several views. Yours seems to be the members of the 1876 commission were either negligent when they redacted the state's obligation to the tribes, or believed it wasn't relevant any more. Neither put them in a good light. On the other hand, there is enough evidence to cast strong doubt on the 'At the time, I doubt anyone was talking about it' statement. The fact remains that the redaction exists, there doesn't seem to be a good reason for it, and none of the suggested reasons seem like something to perpetuate.
