BECK For many Indians, like this group waiting for a train in 1903, Chicago was a common stop when traveling by rail. 22 | Chicago History | Spring 2012 y the beginning of the twentieth century, Chicago had emerged as one of the largest and busiest B cities in the United States. As the railroad capital of America and a rapidly growing industrial center, it appealed to immigrants and migrants alike. American Indians were no exception. Many came to Chicago seeking employment. Others traveled through the metropolis via the numerous railroads, usually going from western reservation communities to eastern cities. Some passed through in their work as entertainers, while others were on their way to Washington, DC, to meet with fed - eral authorities. A number stayed in Chicago, either tem - porarily or permanently. This occurred during a time of great change in Indian country. As policy makers and reformers began to realize that American Indians were not disappearing from the American landscape, they shifted their efforts to assimi - lation. This was done to a large degree through the boarding school experiments that removed children from their families and community environments to inculcate them with American cultural values. While this process often proved destructive to tribal communities, it also created an educated Indian intelligentsia, who ironically worked hard to incorporate tribal values into modern Simon Pokagon carried on the work of his father, Leopold, drawing life.

    Hood by Hood: Discovering Chicago’s Neighborhoods Explore the cultural richness of Chicago’s 77 neighborhoods through Hood by Hood: Discovering Chicago’s Neighborhoods in this weekly challenge! Each week explore the history of Chicago’s neighborhoods and the challenges migrants, immigrants, and refugees faced in the city of Chicago. Explore the choices these communities made and the changes they made to the city. Each challenge comes with a short article on the neighborhood history, a visual activity, a read-along audio, a short video, and a Chicago neighborhood star activity. Every week, a new challenge will be posted. The resources for this challenge come from our very own Chicago Literacies Program curriculum with CPS schools. You can read more about the program here https://www.chicagohistory.org/education/chiliteracies/. Introduction Chicago is the third-largest city in the United States. The city is made up of more than 200 neighborhoods and 77 community areas. The boundaries of some neighborhoods and communities are part of a long debate. Chicago neighborhoods and communities are grouped into 3 different areas or sides. The Southside, Northside, and Westside are used to divide the city of Chicago. There is no east side because lake Michigan is east of the city. These three sides surround the city’s downtown area, or the Loop, and have been home to different groups of people. The Southside The Southside of Chicago is geographically the largest of all the sides. Some of the neighborhoods that are part of the Southside include Back of the Yards, Bridgeport, Hyde Park, Kenwood, Beverly, Mount Greenwood and many more.

The History of Chicago's Alleys. Chicago is the alley capital of the country, with more than 1,900 miles of them within its borders. Quintessential expressions of nineteenth-century American urbanity, alleys have been part of Chicago's physical fabric since the beginning. Eighteen feet in width, they graced all 58 blocks of the Illinois & Michigan Canal commissioners' original town plat in 1830, providing rear service access to property facing the 80-foot-wide main streets. Originally Chicago alleys were unpaved, most had no drainage or connection to the sewer system, leaving rainwater to simply drain through the gravel or cinder surfacing. Some heavily used alleys were paved with Belgian wood blocks. Before Belgian block became common, there were many different pavement methods with wildly varying 1 Living History of Illinois and Chicago® Living History of Illinois and Chicago® – Facebook Group.

Chicago street bricks were also used and then alleys were paved over with concrete or asphalt paving. But private platting soon produced a few blocks without alleys, mostly in the Near North Side's early mansion district or in the haphazardly laid-out industrial workingmen's neighborhoods on the Near South Side.

  • Developing a Voice the Evolution of Self-Determination in an Urban Indian Community David R
    Developing a Voice The Evolution of Self-Determination in an Urban Indian Community David R. M. Beck ore American Indians live in urban areas than anywhere Melse in the United States, a fact that the larger American population has been slow to comprehend. Over the past half century this demograph- ic shift from reservation to city has been a factor of steadily increasing significance in shaping the modern Indian experience in America. The implications have been broad-ranging at the community level on reser- vations and in urban centers, and on the individual level for tribal members in both reservation and nonreservation communities. The American Indian population, despite a significant growth spurt,1 has remained below 1 percent of the total U.S. population. Not- withstanding these small numbers, tribes that are federally or state- recognized have been able to advocate with some success for their own needs. They do this based on the semisovereign status accorded to them under the law. Tribes’ ability to do this improved markedly in the era of self-determination, which encompasses the last quarter to third of the twentieth century, although gaps still exist among tribes and in terms of definitions of sovereign rights. WICAZO SA REVIEW 117 “Self-determination” is in the narrow sense a term with legal im- plications in which the federal government recognizes the authority of tribes to govern themselves under the political and judicial definitions of limited sovereignty. In a larger sense, self-determination means the 2002 FALL ability of a people to determine the direction of their own society and community in political, economic, social, and spiritual arenas.
