"After a manye fayned speches," one of the colonists reported, an agreement was reached and a toast proposed. The unsuspecting Indians drank "a helthe or tooe." The colonist~reporter then goes on to say: "Yt is thought some tooe hundred weare poysned." Years later, other confrontations, less brutal but no less bitter, took place in Washington, D. C., when Indian leaders met with government officials and attempted to defend their tribal interests. Herman J. Viola's Diplomats in Buckskins recounts the fascinating story of these Indian delegations to the capital city. The Indian visitors faced trying, sometimes hazardous situations. The long trek to Washington was fraught with difficulties and hardships~untrustworthy interpreters, inadequate medical care, dangerous terrain. And once in Washington, the Indians could not be sure of the reception they would receive: they were often victimized by a host of unscrupulous whites who enjoyed a swindler's harvest at the expense of the U.S. Treasury. The number of Indians who died on the trail between their homes and the nation's capital remains unknown, but records reveal that more than thirty Indian chiefs died while in Washington. Herman Viola traces the Indian delegation story up to the present day, when Indians are among the most effective lobbyists on Capitol Hill. Dr. Viola pays particular attention to the nineteenth~century delegations and their experiences in Washington~the hotels, like the Indian Queen and the Washington House, where the delegates stayed; the shops they patronized; the sightseeing itineraries organized for Indian visitors; the ceremonies and the exchange of gifts between the Indians and the Great Father (who, contrary to legend and countless Hollywood movies, was never referred to as the Great White Father); the Indians' methods of bargaining; the treaties they negotiated. Diplomats in Buckskins also answers important historical questions: Exactly who were the delegates, and how were they selected? What role did women play? Who paid for the delegations, and how? What impact did the delegation experience have on individual Indians and the treatment they received when they returned home? Dr. Viola adds flavor to his account with a wealth of colorful anecdotes, some of them humorous (Abraham Lincoln speaking in halting, broken English to an Indian leader who spoke English perfectly), some of them tragic (the mysterious death of Scarlet Crow in 1867). This lively chronicle contains over fifty illustrations, many of them never before published, ranging from rare photographic portraits to Chief Medicine Crow's pencil sketches of the animals in the Washington Zoo (a giraffe was a "spotted mule"; an elephant was a "long nose bull"). Diplomats in Buckskins is filled with humor and sadness, color and drama, promises made and treaties broken. In telling this story of the Indian del.
