Yancy Derringer:
Mr. Colton, have you ever noticed the medal Pahoo wears?

John Colton:
Yes.

Yancy Derringer:
Well, it commemorates the treaty made by the United States and the Pawnee nation, the Table Creek Treaty. It was signed by the Great White Father - President Buchanan in 1857 - and it guaranteed the Pawnee nation the protection of the U.S. Army against the Cheyenne and Arapahoe.

John Colton:
Pahoo, listen to me. Go back to your tribe, yes, have them appoint you their spokesman, then go back to Washington; demand your legal rights. Make the War Department protect your people with soldiers as the treaty says.

Yancy Derringer:
Exactly what I had in mind.

John Colton:
Oh?

Yancy Derringer:
I thought you might give us a letter of introduction to the right people.

John Colton:
Of course.
