Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior: For the Year 1870 The Utes of Colorado and New Mexico Territories are also among the tribes with whom our relations are not as favorable as could be desired; they have always been dissatisfied with the treaty concluded with them March 2, 1868. Especially is this the case with those bands that reside in New Mexico. Every proper effort has been made to induce said bands to move upon the reservation set apart in Colorado for their homes by the treaty, but to no avail. The Department has adopted the rule that the payment of the annuities due under said treaty Shall only be made to the Indians upon their new reservation, but even this is ih effectual to induce the New Mexico bands to remove; they decline to go there for their presents, greatly as they need them, and insist that they shall be given to them at their old homes in New Mexico. The Department having exhausted its persuasive power to incline them to a cheerful compliance with their treaty stipulations in this respect, with out avail, I respectfully recommend that appropriate legislation be asked Of Congress to relieve the Department and the Indians from the un pleasant dilemma ih which both are involved, and that authority be given to aggregate the bands in question in some district in New Mexico which will be satisfactory to them.
