  • Submitted to the APRIL 29, 2015
    Center for American Indian Research and Native Studies PO Box 448 Martin, SD 57551 605-685-6484 [email protected] STATEMENT ON THE RENAMING OF HARNEY PEAK Submitted to the SOUTH DAKOTA STATE BOARD OF GEOGRAPHIC NAMES APRIL 29, 2015 Prepared by Eric Steven Zimmer PhD Candidate, Department of History, University of Iowa Research Fellow, CAIRNS This brief provides historical context to the ongoing debate over the renaming of South Dakota’s highest mountain, Harney Peak. It first examines the personal history of General William Selby Harney, for whom the mountain has been named for some 160 years. It makes a clear case for why, no matter what the people of South Dakota decide to rename Harney Peak, the mountain should unequivocally be unnamed. The essay then explores several alternative titles and advocates returning the mountain to its original Lakota name, Hinhan Kaga. Changing the mountain’s name to Hinhan Kaga honors regional Native Americans. It also offers a subtle but significant recognition of South Dakota’s willingness to engage with the troubled nature of our collective past and strive toward a more historically informed and culturally aware future. I William Harney’s name should no longer be inscribed on the Black Hills landscape. First and foremost, Harney’s connection to the peak that bears his name is only tenuous. A military topographical engineer, Lt. Gouverneur K. Warren, named Harney Peak during his three military- sponsored field expeditions between 1855 and 1857. In all likelihood, Warren named the mountain after Harney in an expression of what the historian Roderick Nash calls the “explorer’s prerogative:” Warren saw a landmark that lacked a name in the Euro-centric world of which he was a part, and without regard for the site’s existing Native title, named it after a prominent non- Native leader.

  • THE POSTERS of BUFFALO BILL's WILD WEST By
    ART PERPETUATING FAME: THE POSTERS OF BUFFALO BILL’S WILD WEST By Copyright 2013 Stephanie Fox Knappe Submitted to the graduate degree program in Art History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Charles C. Eldredge ________________________________ Dr. David Cateforis ________________________________ Dr. Stephen Goddard ________________________________ Dr. Susan Earle ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: July 1, 2013 The Dissertation Committee for Stephanie Fox Knappe certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ART PERPETUATING FAME: THE POSTERS OF BUFFALO BILL’S WILD WEST ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Charles C. Eldredge Date approved: July 1, 2013 ii Abstract From 1883 until 1913, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West attracted fifty million people in more than one thousand cities in ten countries. William Frederick “Buffalo Bill” Cody’s globe- galloping extravaganza would not have attained its status as one of the most widely attended and wildly popular turn-of-the-century spectacles without an extensive and effective promotional system to perpetuate its fame. Using the exhibition’s posters as primary objects of inquiry, this dissertation examines the Wild West’s most iconic and resonant elements. Each of four case studies is anchored by a key image—a poster that serves as a platform from which to investigate other imagery devoted to the same theme—and incorporates visual and contextual analysis, contemporary public reception, and an exploration of influential iconography originating from both fine art and popular sources as well as their literary counterparts.

  • Lakota) Housing’S First 50 Years*
    AUGUST 2012 The First 50 Years of Oglala Sioux Housing The First Indian Housing Authority in the United States ! PAGE 1 AUGUST 2012 OGLALA SIOUX (LAKOTA) HOUSING’S FIRST 50 YEARS* In 2011, the Oglala Sioux (Lakota) Housing celebrated fifty years of providing housing on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. In 1961, it became the first Indian housing authority in the country as well as the first housing authority of any kind in South Dakota. Initially, Housing was established by the Oglala Sioux Tribe to receive tribal housing funds under the federal government’s 1937 U.S. Housing Act. The 1937 Housing Act had been a major source of low-income housing assistance in the United States since the era of the New Deal; however, there had never been any public housing for Indian reservations under that program. But in 1961 a legal opinion by the U.S. Public Housing Administration and an Executive Order from President John F. Kennedy, as promised by Kennedy during his 1960 Campaign, were issued making federally recognized tribes eligible to participate in the public housing program. The federal government had in part been prodded to take this important action by the Oglala Sioux Tribe. The Oglala Sioux Housing Authority, Oglala Sioux (Lakota) Housing’s predecessor, was quickly formed by the Oglala Sioux Tribal Council making it a first in the United States and the first housing authority in South Dakota. The impetus for the tribal government to push for expansion of public housing and to then move forward with the formation of the housing authority was two-fold.

HOOVER The 1989 centennial in South Dakota "is not a celebration most Indian tribes are comfortable witb," wrote Lakota Times editor Tim Giago recently. With statehood one hundred years ago came "the further erosion of the [Sioux Indian] land base" and in sub- sequent years the loss of "millions of acres of excess lands" on Copyright © 1989 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Sioux Agreement of 1889 57 reservations through the allotment process. Coupled with this loss over the past century has been the exclusion of tribal members from mainstream social life, Giago added, and from "decision mak- ing at a state level." For American Indians, he concluded, "what is there to celebrate?"' No historical development ha.s had greater impact on the histo- ry of this state than the transfer of land from tribal control to non- Indian ownership and the aftermath of that transfer. Due to the complexity of the matter, most historical literature offers scanty explanations and perpetuates misunderstandings regarding the way in which the land issue affected Indians. Similarly, this lack of detailed historical explanation denies readers of all backgrounds appropriate access to knowledge about a complicated develop- ment that has had long-lasting influence on all residents of the state.
