Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our National Problem: The Sad Condition of the Oklahoma Indians For a number of years, those of us who have kept in touch with the Indian situation generally in the United States have known that a very bad condition obtained among the Indians known as the Five Civilized Tribes, and living in the State of Oklahoma. On May 17th, 1912, the Chairman of the Board of Indian Com missioners, Honorable George Yaux, Jr., visited Oklahoma and spent some time traveling through the Cherokee, Creek and Seminole countries. He was accompanied by Dana H.Kelsey, Esq., superintendent of the Union Indian Agency, having in charge the Five Civilized Tribes. Air. Vaux sfindings were published in the 43 rd Annual Report of the Board, 1912. Briefly, he finds that while some of the Indians are progressive and well to do, the bulk of them are in far from satisfactory condition. Mr. Vaux, in addition to his able report on the situation, spoke at some length at the Conference of the Friends of the In dian and Other Dependent Peoples, at Lake Mohonk, in October, 1912. He advocated more protection for our wards. Desiring to study the Oklahoma situation in its broader aspects, I visited Oklahoma in March, 1913, in company with J.Weston Allen, Esq., who represented the Boston Indian Citizenship Commit tee and other organizations. We spent considerable time not only in consultation with various Government officials and private citizens, but also in driving over the Creek, Seminole and Cherokee countries. Mr. Allen remained after I returned east, and drove many miles through the region inhabited by the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians, and made a report to me on the situation as he found it. Exclusive of railway travel, our overland trips about the state totalled some 6 oc miles. Both of us took numerous photographs showing the actual conditions under which the Indians are living. It is neither a pleasure nora personal satisfaction to me to present to the American public so sad a story as is outlined in the pages which follow. I do not wish to be a pessimist, but the American people should knowr precisely and exactly what has been going on in the new state of Oklahoma. The sole purpose of this expose Is To Arouse, if possible, the American conscience, and to bring pressure to bear on Congress in order that we may end an in tolerable condition. It has been stated in the public press of Oklahoma that I wish to attack the fair name of that state. This is not correct. I make public the wrongs of the Indians and expose what has been done to them. Whether our national Government or the State of Oklahoma are to blame, readers may decide. In this pamphlet I expand my original report and findings, made to Honorable George Vaux, Jr., Chairman of our Board; and my briefer reports to the Honorable Secretary of the Interior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “How can women wear diamonds when babies cry for bread?” Kate Barnard demanded in one of the incendiary stump speeches for which she was well known. In A Life on Fire, Connie Cronley tells the story of Catherine Ann “Kate” Barnard (1875–1930), a fiery political reformer and the first woman elected to state office in Oklahoma, as commissioner of charities and corrections in 1907—almost fifteen years before women won the right to vote in the United States. Born to hardscrabble settlers on the Nebraska prairie, Barnard committed her energy, courage, and charismatic oratory to the cause of Progressive reform and became a political powerhouse and national celebrity. As a champion of the poor, workers, children, the imprisoned, and the mentally ill, Barnard advocated for compulsory education, prison reform, improved mental health treatment, and laws against child labor. Before statehood, she stumped across the Twin Territories to unite farmers and miners into a powerful political alliance. She also helped write Oklahoma’s Progressive constitution, creating what some heralded as “a new kind of state.” But then she took on the so-called “Indian Question.” Defending Native orphans against a conspiracy of graft that reached from Oklahoma to Washington, D.C., she uncovered corrupt authorities and legal guardians stealing oil, gas, and timber rights from Native Americans’ federal allotments. In retaliation, legislators and grafters closed ranks and defunded her state office. Broken in health and heart, she left public office and died a recluse. She remains, however, a riveting figure in Oklahoma history, a fearless activist on behalf of the weak and helpless.

Download or read book The World s Richest Indian written by Tanis C. Thorne and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-09 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first biography of Jackson Barnett, who gained unexpected wealth from oil found on his property. This book explores how control of his fortune was violently contested by his guardian, the state of Oklahoma, the Baptist Church, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and an adventuress who kidnapped and married him. Coming into national prominence as a case of Bureau of Indian Affairs mismanagement of Indian property, the litigation over Barnett's wealth lasted two decades and stimulated Congress to make long-overdue reforms in its policies towards Indians. Highlighting the paradoxical role played by the federal government as both purported protector and pilferer of Indian money, and replete with many of the major agents in twentieth-century Native American history, this remarkable story is not only captivating in its own right but highly symbolic of America's diseased and corrupt national Indian policy. The World's Richest Indian was the winner of the Sierra Prize of the Western Association of Women Historians.

Download or read book Blood Will Tell written by Katherine Ellinghaus and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2017-08 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood Will Tell reveals the underlying centrality of “blood” that shaped official ideas about who was eligible to be defined as Indian by the General Allotment Act in the United States. Katherine Ellinghaus traces the idea of blood quantum and how the concept came to dominate Native identity and national status between 1887 and 1934 and how related exclusionary policies functioned to dispossess Native people of their land. The U.S. government’s unspoken assumption at the time was that Natives of mixed descent were undeserving of tribal status and benefits, notwithstanding that Native Americans of mixed descent played crucial roles in the national implementation of allotment policy. Ellinghaus explores on-the-ground case studies of Anishinaabeg, Arapahos, Cherokees, Eastern Cherokees, Cheyennes, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, Lakotas, Lumbees, Ojibwes, Seminoles, and Virginia tribes. Documented in these cases, the history of blood quantum as a policy reveals assimilation’s implications and legacy. The role of blood quantum is integral to understanding how Native Americans came to be one of the most disadvantaged groups in the United States, and it remains a significant part of present-day debates about Indian identity and tribal membership. Blood Will Tell is an important and timely contribution to current political and scholarly debates.
