Why did the US not ratify the 5th article? and
Why did the persons who were asked to get the signatures on this treaty get more or extra income for this act?
And did the indians really know what the enterpreters were telling them truthful?

What I asked here goes further back then any American can realise. I spoke to an indian chief in Oklahoma and my thoughts with him.
Since the first step of the white Americans on this land the indians have always gotten the raw deal. Every year each indian is given a small income for each treaty signed promise of payment for leaving. All the white men ever taught them was drinking and weapons (to which they ended up using against the white villagers).
These treaties were born of lies to the indians,now they dont talk and are drinking thei self's to death. Doesnt seem right to have been and still are treated the way they've been.
The treaty's should be gone over now and checked every word to clean up the mess done by all,and corrected like honest people who know the truth.
