[[?O or 6.]] Reserve June 6th 1879 Convention met according to adjournment. Yellow Smoke in the chair. After much discussion on the subject, the following resolution was adopted, and the following names were attached to it, at the request of the individuals themselves. Resolved 4 That although we are poor ourselves, we are willing to share with our relations the Poncas, and hereby extend to them again, as we have done before, an invitation to make their home with us, and if they are not permitted to return to their own Reserve in Dakota, that they will be permitted at least to leave that sickly clime where they are now kept, by force, and return and live with us, and as an evidence of this willingness on our part we here sign our names.
