Though I already posted one opinion, I have reason to doubt the validity of it. I seem to recall a political cartoon of a Native American and a settler in America. The settler was offering a piece of paper that said "treaty" on it to the native american. The piece of paper had a string attached to it and the settler was holding the other end in his hand behind his back. The caption of the cartoon, I believe, was "No strings attached".

I don't know when the cartoon was made, but it looked dated. Has anyone else seen this political cartoon? It was in one of my history books, so it's probably fairly well circulated.
