Hi grahamew,

thanks for posting of this very interesting article by David J. Wishart. This article includes an explanation, of why the Pawnee chiefs submitted to the blackmail, given by Superintendent Janney.

Excerpt : The chiefs' willingness to surrender their own people... ( See page 10 )

Despite the long – term negotiation, the truth came to the light years later,as Loo-hoo {Shooting Star} confessed on his deathbed that he and another Indian were the culprits
