H
UNITED STATES V. OREGON
(1969 - US DISTRICT COURT - DISTRICT OF OREGON)
"The act [by which the United States extinguished Indian rights in the Oregon territory by negotiation rather
than by conquest (9 Stat. 323)] also extended to the Oregon Territory the provisions of the Northwest
Ordinance of 1787 which provided, among other things, that 'good faith shall always be observed towards
the Indians; their land and property shall never be taken from them without their consent.' (1 Stat. 51)." 302
F. Supp. 899, 905.
"It hardly needs restatement that Indian treaties, like international treaties, entered into by the United States
are part of the supreme law of the land which the states and their officials are bound to observe." 302 F.
Supp. 899, 905.View entire presentation
