Download or read book Our Indian Wards Classic Reprint written by George W. Manypenny and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Indian Wards IN the preparation and publication. Of this work the author has been moved by a sincere desire to render service in the amelioration of the condition of our Indian population, now numbering about two hundred and seventy-five thousand souls. The condition of this population, and the relations existing between the Indians and the white people dwelling on the border, is not satisfactory. This fact no intelligent man will deny. There is. Diversity of opinion as to the causes which produce the discontent and disorder that prevail, as well as the wars that result therefrom. These border wars began at a very early period, and may be traced through our whole history, and the record is a sickening detail of outrage, robbery, and murder. The careful student of history should have no difficulty in discovering the origin of our Indian complications, as well as the causes that have stimulated conflicts between the white and red man, and which have formed such sad chapters in our annals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Policy and Westward Expansion The time during which these problems had to be solved added to the difficulty of the solution. During the earlier part of the period considered, the question of slavery and sectional rivalry had not become so acute and at that time had little influence on the situation. However, by the time of the annexation of Texas and the settlement of the Oregon question, sectional rivalry had become one of the dominant factors in any consideration of measures relating to west ward expansion and even threatened to make impossible any solution of these problems. These difficulties could not but be reflected in the formulation and execution of Indian policy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The California Indians written by John Ross Browne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The California Indians: A Clever Satire on the Government's Dealings With Its Indian Wards No aid was given by government beyond the grants of land necessary for missionary purposes; yet they soon grew wealthy, owned immense herds of cattle, supplied agricultural products to the ranch eros, and carried on a considerable trade in hides and tallow with the'united States. If the Spanishpriests could do this without arms or assistance, in the midst of a savage country, at a period when the Indians were more numerous and more powerful than they are now, surely it could be done in a com paratively civilized country by intelligent Ameri cans, with all the lights of experience and the co operation of a beneficent government. At least Congress thought so; and in 1853 laws were passed for the establishment of a reservation system in California, and large appropriations were made to carry it into efiect. Tracts of land of twenty-five thousand acres were ordered to be set apart for the use of the Indians; oflicers were ap pointed to supervise the affairs of the service; cloth ing, cattle, seeds, and agricultural implements were purchased; and a general invitation was extended to the various tribes to come in and learn how to work like white men. The first reservation was establish ed at the Tejon, a beautiful and fertile valley in the southern part of the state. Headquarters for the employes, and large' granaries for the' crops, were erected. The Indians were feasted on cattle, and everything promised favorably. True, it cost a great deal to get started, about but a consider able cr0p was raised, and there was every reason to hope that the experiment would prove successful. In the course of time other reservations were establish ed, one in the foothills of the Sacramento Valley, at a place'called Nome Lackee; one at the mouth of the Noyo River, south of Cape Mendocino; one on the Klamath, below Crescent City; besides which. There were Indian farms, or adjuncts, of these res ervations at the Fresno, Nome Cult or Round Val ley, the Mattole Valley, near Cape Mendocino, and other points where it was deemed advisable to gim aid and instruction to the Indians. The cost of these establishments was such as to justify the most sanguine anticipations of their success.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ploughed Under: The Story of an Indian Chief, Told Bu Himself The white people have tried to solve the Indian Question by commencing with the proposition that the Indian is different from all other human beings. With some he is a peculiar being, surrounded by a halo of romance, who has to be set apart on a reserva tion as something sacred, who has to be fed, clothed, and taken care of by a guardian or agent, by whom he is not to be allowed to come in contact with his conquerors lest it might degrade him; his conquerors being a people who hold their civilization above that of all others on the earth, because of their perfect freedom and liberty. The contact of peoples is the best of all education. And this the ward is denied. With others again he is a savage, a sort of monster without any heart or soul or mind, but whose whole being is full of hatred, ferocity, and blood-thirstiness. They suppose him to have no family affections, no love for his home, none of the sensitive feelings that all other human beings presumably have. This class demand his extermination.

This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck Recipient of the American Book Award The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire. With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: “The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.” Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative. An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.

Download or read book A Visit to the Mission Indians of California Classic Reprint written by Charles C. Painter and published by Forgotten Books. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mission Work Among the Negroes and the Indians: What Is Being Accomplished by Means of the Annual Collection Taken Up for Our Missions The Catholic Church, through its Bishops and Priests, today appeals to the generosity of the American layman in behalf of the Indian and Negro missions. Catholics understand that there is a grave moral obligation binding them to answer this appeal generously. And why? Because if the Indian and Negro are, materially, the wards of the nation, they are also, spiritually, the wards of the Church. The nation is meeting its material obligation by giving Indian and Negro the Amer ican right to life, liberty and happiness. It offers the poor Indian a ration and a blanket in exchange for the soil of which ahe tribes were formerly the owners; it gives citizenship to the Negro millions who are here not by choice, but because their ancestors were sold in slavery to our ancestors.
