This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Visit to the Mission Indians of Southern California, and Other Western Tribes Leaving homeon the 25th of May last for an extended visit as Agent of the Indian Rights Association to various Indian tribes, my first stop was at Vinita in the Indian Territory. Reaching this place on Saturday in time to attend a general caucus, it was of interest to see how largely its conduct was in the hands of white men with citizen's rights, and of half breeds. Whether correct or not, the impression produced on the mind of one visiting the Territory, observing and hearing what he can from those with whom he meets, is that affairs are very largely managed and controlled by the white blood, which in one way or another has found its way into the veins of the people, or into positions of influence among them. One who has spent a few years in this town, as Principal of its most important school, asserts, what my own observation so far as it went confirmed, that the business enterprise and thrift of the people is due largely to this white element. That a painted house, and a farm well stocked and managed is almost certain proof of a white'man or woman on the premises. One would suppose in looking at the classes in Worcester Academy that perhaps one in ten of the pupils had some Indian blood, and is greatly surprised to know that there is not more than one in ten who has not enough of it to be classed as Indian, and draw public money.

Download or read book Report on the Condition and Needs of the Mission Indians of California written by Helen Jackson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Condition and Needs of the Mission Indians of California: To the Commissioner of Indian Affairs Sir: In compliance with our instructions bearing dates November 28 1882, and January 12, 1883, we have the honor to submit to you the following report on the subject of the Mission Indians in Southern California. The term "Mission Indians" dates back over one hundred years, to the time of the Franciscan missions in California. It then included all Indians who lived in the mission establishments, or were under the care of the Franciscan fathers. Very naturally the term has continued to be applied to the descendants of those Indians. This estimate probably falls considerably short of the real numbers, as there are no doubt in hiding, so to speak, in remote and inaccessible pots, many individuals, families, or even villages, that have never been counted. These Indians are living for the most part in small and isolated villages; some on reservations set apart for them by Executive order; some on Government land not reserved, and some upon lands included within the boundaries of confirmed Mexican grants. Considerable numbers of these Indians are also to be found on the outskirts of white settlements, as at Riverside, San Bernardino, or in the colonies in the San Gabriel Valley, where they live like gypsies in brush huts, here to-day, gone to-morrow, eking out a miserable existence by days' works, the wages of which are too often spent for whisky in the village saloons.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Condition of the Mission Indians of Southern California In 1767 Spain sent a military expedition to conquer California and with it sent a band of missionary priests with orders to convert and civilize the Indians; and so successfully did they fulfil their appointed task that in thirty-one years they had gathered in the Mission communi ties Indian converts, and had taught them many of the arts and industries of civilized life, so many, indeed, that the list would surprise those careless observers who declare that Indians are naturally lazy simply because we have forced them to remain unemployed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Case of the Mission Indians in Southern California: And the Action of the Indian Rights Association in Supporting the Defence of Their Legal Rights Helen Hunt Jackson died in San Francisco during the past summer, without seeing the fruition of her labors; but a few weeks before her death she gladly granted an interview to Prof. Painter, the agent of the Indian Rights Association at Washington. She greatly rejoiced at his visit, even at the moment when her long illness was fast approaching its fatal close, because she saw in him one who represented the better feeling of the nation toward that wronged and helpless race whom she had so greatly loved. Upon her deathbed she committed to the hands of the Indian Rights Association as a solemn legacy the redress of past wrongs, present sufferings, and the future hopes of the Mission Indians. Mrs. Jackson died in cheerful confidence that the Association would be faithful to the trust committed to it. With a sense of responsibility for the execution of this trust the Association makes the present statement of the case at issue for the information of the public. Facts In The Case Of The Mission Indians. The following excerpts from a letter written by Hon. Hiram Price, Ex-Commissioner of Indian Affairs, are important as throwing light upon the case of the Mission Indians. This letter, addressed to the Hon. Secretary of the Interior, is dated at Washington, January 10th, 1884, and is as follows: (Excerpts from Commissioner Price's Letter.') "The injustice done the Mission Indians, and their deplorable condition, have been set forth by several Commissioners and treated of at length by various Annual Reports of this office, especially those of 1875 and 1880, and Congress has been repeatedly solicited to interfere in their behalf. Through the failure of Congress to afford any relief their condition has been rapidly growing worse, until, at the present time, they are threatened with the total loss of the lands they have cultivated for years, and from which they have derived their support with but trifling aid from the Government.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Visit to the Mission Indians of California In my report of a previous visit, published by the Indian Rights Association, it was stated that At my earnest request the Government has appointed special counsel to take up and defend the rights of these Indians, but appointed him to serve without compensation. It seems evident, therefore, that this effort must be sustained and pushed by our Association. It is known to many that the Indian Rights Association became responsible for the fees of Mr. Ward, the special counsel appointed by the attorney-general, neither the Department of Justice nor the Interior Department having any funds to use for such purposes. The case of Byrnes m. The San Jacinto Indians came to trial last summer, and was decided in favor of the plaintiff, and, failing to induce the Government to stand sponsor for the case, and assume responsibility for costs and indemnity to plaintiff pending an appeal to the Supreme Court, the Secretary of the Indian Rights Association gave his personal check for which has been deposited with the clerk of the Court for San Diego County, California, to await the issue of this appeal. By the timely arrival of this check, the immediate ejectment of zoo Indians from the homes and lands on which, by con cession of plaintiff, they have lived continuously since 1815, was delayed at least until the Supreme Court of the State shall con firm the decree of the lower court.

Download or read book Human Dimension and Interior Space written by Julius Panero and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of human body measurements on a comparative basis is known as anthropometrics. Its applicability to the design process is seen in the physical fit, or interface, between the human body and the various components of interior space. Human Dimension and Interior Space is the first major anthropometrically based reference book of design standards for use by all those involved with the physical planning and detailing of interiors, including interior designers, architects, furniture designers, builders, industrial designers, and students of design. The use of anthropometric data, although no substitute for good design or sound professional judgment should be viewed as one of the many tools required in the design process. This comprehensive overview of anthropometrics consists of three parts. The first part deals with the theory and application of anthropometrics and includes a special section dealing with physically disabled and elderly people. It provides the designer with the fundamentals of anthropometrics and a basic understanding of how interior design standards are established. The second part contains easy-to-read, illustrated anthropometric tables, which provide the most current data available on human body size, organized by age and percentile groupings. Also included is data relative to the range of joint motion and body sizes of children. The third part contains hundreds of dimensioned drawings, illustrating in plan and section the proper anthropometrically based relationship between user and space. The types of spaces range from residential and commercial to recreational and institutional, and all dimensions include metric conversions. In the Epilogue, the authors challenge the interior design profession, the building industry, and the furniture manufacturer to seriously explore the problem of adjustability in design. They expose the fallacy of designing to accommodate the so-called average man, who, in fact, does not exist. Using government data, including studies prepared by Dr. Howard Stoudt, Dr. Albert Damon, and Dr. Ross McFarland, formerly of the Harvard School of Public Health, and Jean Roberts of the U.S. Public Health Service, Panero and Zelnik have devised a system of interior design reference standards, easily understood through a series of charts and situation drawings. With Human Dimension and Interior Space, these standards are now accessible to all designers of interior environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of The Fingerprint Sourcebook originated during a meeting in April 2002. Individuals representing the fingerprint, academic, and scientific communities met in Chicago, Illinois, for a day and a half to discuss the state of fingerprint identification with a view toward the challenges raised by Daubert issues. The meeting was a joint project between the International Association for Identification (IAI) and West Virginia University (WVU). One recommendation that came out of that meeting was a suggestion to create a sourcebook for friction ridge examiners, that is, a single source of researched information regarding the subject. This sourcebook would provide educational, training, and research information for the international scientific community.
