(S. Ct. Mcintosh) Comapred to Johnson v. Mcintosh. (Different Cases)
I think this article is a nice glimpse of the Johnson v. M'Intosh case. There were a couple of things that were not mentioned in the article that might be worth adding. One is that not only did the Johnson's purchase the land from the Piankeshaw nations but the Illinois Indian nations were involved in the sale as well. Also the defendant, M'Intosh claimed that the earlier title that Johnson had to the land was not valid because it was obtained after the British Proclamation of 1763 which prohibited British colonists form buying Indian land. Then have the British Proclamation of 1763 linked to the article of the same on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tanishadk (talk • contribs) 00:48, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree. This article is way above the level of the average reader, employing much legal jargon. It completely misses the point of the case: the entire case was fixed. Second, it still violates the rights of Native Americans by employing a racist doctrine of "discovery" giving some people the "right" to other peoples land. That's because it relies on the texts in law schools and ignores well respected human rights scholarship.Ebanony (talk) 11:21, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Mr. M'Intosh was a important historical figure and to understand the background to the Supreme Court case it is essential he have a seperate page. Additionally, it is documented that he was involved in the Madoc tradition and his statements were recorded by Thomas S. Hinde. Further, many of his letters and correspondence are located in among the Lyman Draper collection and if allowed to stay much more information could be added.

More content was added that demonstrates that Mr. M'Intosh was notable for more than one event. Moreover, he was a treasurer for the Indiana territory under William Henry Harrison, which by itself is sufficient for inclusion. He played a key role in the history of Indiana, and Illinois.

Oppose Merge - See the 2012 monograph published by Blake A. Watson on the case as a landmark in the history of property rights. The case itself is the object of study. Carrite (talk) 23:22, 29 June 2013 (UTC)llq[reply]
