move disability by declarinir their inten- 

 tion to become citizens . . . Citizen- 

 ship is not requisite for the ordinary pur- 

 chase of pubHc lands. ... It may be 

 done by a foreign alien and a fortiori by 

 a mere denizen or domestic alien, such as 

 the Indians" (Opinions Atty. Gen., vii, 

 753). 



The severalty act of Feb. 8, 1887, made 

 the allotted Indian subject to all the laws, 

 civil and criminal, of the state in which 

 he resides, and also conferred upon him 

 citizenshij). The courts have decided that 

 those who come under the provision of 

 this act are no longer wards or sul)ject to 

 the restrictive control of the Connnis- 

 sioner of Indian Affairs or his agents. 



Members of the following tril)es can 

 become citizens by treaty stipulation: 

 Delaware, Kaskaskia, Kickapoo, Miami, 

 Munsee, Ottawa, Peoria, Piankashaw, 

 Sioux, Stockbridge, Wea, Winnebago liv- 

 ing in Minnesota, and the Pue])lo Indians 

 andother sedentary tribes that come under 

 the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the 

 Gadsden Purchase. The status of mixed 

 bloods, the court has decided, is deter- 

 mined bv that of the father (Ex parte 

 Reynokir 5 Dillon, 894). 



The courts of Kansas and Washington 

 have held that "an Indian sustaining 

 tribal relations is as capable of entering 

 into binding contracts as any other alien, " 

 except that said contract shall not touch 

 his lands, annuities, or statute benefits. 

 "The right to contract necessarily draws 

 after it the liability to be sued; therefore 

 upon contracts of the aforesaid character 

 Indians can sue and be sued " (Washing- 

 ton Rep., I, 325). The state court has 

 jurisdiction of the person and property 

 of Indians, except while such Indians or 

 property are actually situated on a reserve 

 excluded from the jurisdiction of the state 

 (Kansas Rep., xii, 28). See Agency si/stem,
