“Here are
aborigines whom we are teaching to be men, people of vicious and ferocious
habits who know no law but force, no superior but their own free will, and no
reason but their own caprice. A people without education,
without government, religion or respect for authority, and they shamelessly
pursue without restraint whatever their brutal appetites suggest to them. Their
inclination to lewdness and theft is on par with their love for the mountains.
Such is the character of the men we are to correct and whose crimes we must
punish"
