Department of History The University of British Columbia, Vancouver 8, Canada* Date April 30th, I966 Abstract Whites, commonly class the Northern Arapahoes as a warlike tribe, but they call themselves a peaceful people. This study represents an attempt to discover the part of the Northern Arapahoes in the relations between the United States and the Indians of the plains from l8£l t© 1879, and to determine whether they really were a peaceful group. This was a bellicose period, including raids along the Platte, the P©wder River Wars, the Sand Creek and Washita massacres by whites, and the Fetterman and Custer massacres by Indians. The Northern Arapahoes associated with the mighty Sioux, dreaded by the whites, and with the Cheyennes, called the Fighting Cheyennes by Grinnell, who knew them well. Anthropological works c©ntributed importantly to an understanding ©f plains Indian culture and the societal structure and practices of the Arapahoesj~ Correspsndence with the Indian Office and a former Commissioner of Indian Affairs produced important references ©n Indian policy, used to clarify the significance of material found in Government reports. Information from general works was crosschecked wherever possible, and each author's predilection considered. Historical bulletins from Colorado and Wyoming, and ether periodicals gave scraps of information which, unimportant by themselves, some• times helped in solving problems. Contemporary newspapers, iii especially the Cheyenne Leader, also contributed in this respect, as well as showing the attitude of settlers toward the Indians who barred them from the free exploitation of lands and resources. An acquaintance with the Northern Arapahoes, through residence ©n their reservation, contributed toward an under• standing of their character, learning ©f their traditions, developing an interest in their history and culture. Although the Pt. Laramie Treaty of l8£l was expected to usher in fifty years ©f peace between the United States and the Indians ©f the plains, three factors f©red$©med the dream to failure: the Indian policy ©f the United States with its vacillations and misunderstandings; public attitude toward the Indians, colored by desire f©r their lands, fear of the braves, and a dogmatic faith in their own destiny to p©pulate and civilize the plains; and lastly, the Indian's way of life, which he was loath t© abandon, as it satisfied his social and emotional needs. Misunderstandings contributed to clashes between reds and whites; pressure upon their lands by gold seekers, stock• men and farmers, and the destruction of their game by immigrants made the Indians apprehensive; forays of hungry braves sn settler's stock, and their reluctance to abandon their game ©f inter-tribal raiding for horses, scalps and prestige kept the whites on edge. Despite the fact that Federal troops waged war against iv their SIsux and Cheyenne friends a few years after the Treaty af 18^1, nearly fourteen years elapsed befsre an appreciable number Northern Arapahoes engaged in hostilities. Even then a majority of the tribe abstained. During the Powder River Wars, 1865 te 1868, mere participated, but never the entire tribe. Only once during the period from l8£l to I879 is there any likelihood that all ©f the Northern Arapahoes' fought against the whites-* This was in the Bates Battle of I87I4,* an<^ erven here: pos• itive evidence is lacking* During Custer's final days, when hundreds ©f Sieux: and Cheyennes fallowed Crazy Horse and Sit-* ting Bull, the Northern Arapahoes, almost to a man, refrained from hostilities. This fact, with others of a kindred nature, finally brought recognition by the Government of the peaceful disposition of the Northern Arapah®es, On the basis of the evidence examined: the Northern Arapahoes shauld be classed among the most peaceable of the plains tribes.

This is the chief source through which the year to year movements of the Northern Arapah© bands has been treced, and the attitudes in Indian white relations have become appar• ent. The Annual Reports of the Board of Indian Commissioners, first to eleventh, have als© been helpful in both respects, as well as the other Federal Government publications listed in the bibliography at the end of this paper. The Cheyenne Leader, I867-I879 na^ scattered througk its pages much Important data not available elsewhere, by means of which the Indian problem was presented as seen through the eyes of partisan frontier reporters. The works of Le^oy H. Hafen and the co-authors or co- editors of the various volumes used, contributed much val• uable information concerning the peace and war activities of the Northern Arapahoes, among whick appeared the unique peace proposal which Black Bear's band msde to Colonel Sawyers in the Big Horns of Wy»ming, after attacking his wagon train. The writings of Ge©rge A. Dersey, Alfred E. Kroeber and Harold E. Driver helped importantly in developing an understanding of Arapah© societal structure. The Life, Letters and Travels of Father Pierre-Jean De Smet, S. J., I80I-I873, edited by Chittenden and Richardson, gave an especially interesting and vii useful account of the Ft. Laramie Treaty of l8£l, Indians and Other Americans, by Fey and McNickel presented a picture of United States Indian policy which was borne in mind throughout the writing of this paper, though lit tie material was taken directly from it. The Fighting Cheyennes, by George Bird Grinnell, afforded Information which filled in the gaps in the semi-independent activities of Northern Arapaho bands. Especial thanks is due t© the Librarians at the Universities of Washington and Oregon in supplying references not readily available closer by; to the University of Wyoming for the microfilm, Index to the Cheyenne Leader. 1867-1890; to the Wyoming State Historical Department for the microfilm of the Cheyenne Leader, 1867-1879, and the use of their equip• ment; to the State Historical Society of Colorado for the Rocky Mountain News photostat, and for other information; and to the Library staff of the University of British Columbia, without whose patient, cordial assistance this paper could net have been written. Gratitude is due ta John Collier, Sr., former United States Commissioner of Indian Affairs, for direct information and suggested readings ©n United States G©vernment Indian policy. Thanks is als© due to Jessie Rewlodge, Southern Arapaho Indian who visited in Wyoming, for information which only an Arapaho could supply, used to clarify a situation otherwise difficult to explain. Finally is due a belated expression of gratitude to William C. Thunder and his wife, viii Cleone — the latter a descendant of Henry North, and Ba-yet, the woman who escaped from the Utes in the early l360s and married the white man who aided her in returning tes her people. These two, William and Cleone Thunder, gave accurate information when they c©uld, and when unable to do s©, led on to other informants whose knowledge of their people, the Northern Arapahoes ©f Wyoming, was greater than their own.

  • Poverty Row Films of the 1930S by Robert J Read Department of Art History and Communication Studies
    A Squalid-Looking Place: Poverty Row Films of the 1930s by Robert J Read Department of Art History and Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal August 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy All rights reserved. This work may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or by other means, without permission of the author. Robert J Read, 2010. ii Abstract Film scholarship has generally assumed that the low-budget independent film studios, commonly known as Poverty Row, originated in the early sound-era to take advantage of the growing popularity of double feature exhibition programs. However, the emergence of the independent Poverty Row studios of the 1930s was actually the result of a complex interplay between the emerging Hollywood studios and independent film production during the late 1910s and 1920s. As the Hollywood studios expanded their production, as well as their distribution networks and exhibition circuits, the independent producers that remained outside of the studio system became increasingly marginalized and cut-off from the most profitable aspects of film exhibition. By the late 1920s, non-Hollywood independent film production became reduced to the making of low-budget action films (westerns, adventure films and serials) for the small profit, suburban neighbourhood and small town markets. With the economic hardships of the Depression, the dominant Hollywood studios were forced to cut-back on their lower budgeted films, thus inadvertently allowing the independent production companies now referred to in the trade press as Poverty Row to expand their film practice.
