To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They hold the land in common. There are 265 chil- dren, and only two school houses. The American 40 part of tlie tribe is required by a law of New York to elect annually three trustees to have the general charge of public affairs. These elections are often conducted with much spirit, the Indians being divided chiefly on the propriety of leasing their lands. By the consent of the chiefs and trustees, a man may be transferred from one side of the line to the other, or Indians from other places ma...y be admitted to the rights of either side, but this is not often done. A woman loses her rights in one party by marrying a member of the other, but acquires for herself and children the usual rights of females in the party to which her husband belongs. Families of either the American or Canadian party may reside on the land of the other, without losing their rights in their own band.
Although the law recognizes no individual rights in the land, custom has sanctioned, in this as well as in the other New York tribes, the holding of lands for the exclusive benefit of families, and these rights are bought and sold among themselves.
