Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government.

Summary

This quote suggests that the history of Indian uprisings in America can be attributed to a consistent pattern of the government failing to keep their promises and honor agreements made with indigenous tribes. The speaker implies that the unrest and conflicts between the government and Native Americans are rooted in a sense of betrayal, as these broken promises and treaties have often led to injustices and can be seen as disregarding the rights and well-being of the indigenous people.
