University of Oklahoma Graduate College UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA GRADUATE COLLEGE COMMUNITY, POVERTY, POWER: THE POLITICS OF TRIBAL SELF-DETERMINATION, 1960-1968 A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Daniel M.

COMMUNITY, POVERTY, POWER: THE POLITICS OF TRIBAL SELF-DETERMINATION, 1960-1968 A Dissertation APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY Acknowledgments This project began seven years ago as a master's thesis at the University of Wyoming. There I had the good fortune of working with Brian C. Hosmer, a skilled historian and constant friend. At the University of Oklahoma, R. Warren Metcalf served as the chair of my committee, and I have benefitted from his constructive criticism as well as his counsel. Professors Loretta Fowler, Albert Hurtado, David Levy, and Donald Fisani contributed generously by reading and critiquing the dissertation in what ultimately proved to be a rather compressed period of time. Although he did not serve on the dissertation committee. Dr. Robert E. Shalhope taught me the importance of “tightening and sharpening” my prose, and his seminars very nearly convinced me to specialize in the nineteenth century. I also extend my appreciation to the Department of History and particularly Department Chair Robert L. Griswold and Graduate Studies Committee Chair Paul A. Gilje. The research on which my work is founded would not have been possible without the financial support of the Anne Hodges and H. Wayne Morgan Dissertation Fellowship, several Bea Mantooth Graduate Travel Fellowships, and a Cliff Hudson Fellowship. These awards, along with a Dissertation Research Grant from the Graduate College and a Horace Samuel and Marion Galbraith Merrill Travel Grant in Twentieth-Century United States Political History from the Organization of American Historians, enabled me to visit manuscript repositories across the United States. 1 am grateful for the assistance of the archivists and librarians at the Cherokee National Archives, University of Chicago, Oklahoma Department of Libraries, University of Utah, National Anthropological iv Archives, Princeton University, Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library, Oklahoma State University, National Archives I and II, the National Archives—Southwest Region, Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and Stanford University. The Western History Collections and the Carl Albert Center for Congressional Research and Studies, both located on the campus of the University of Oklahoma, were particularly valuable. At the Carl Albert Center, Carolyn Hanneman and Todd Kosmerick capably guided my forays into their vast congressional holdings, while Assistant Curator John R. Lovett helped me to navigate through the Western History Collections’s valuable manuscript sources and voluminous Doris Duke Indian Oral History Collection. Together these two repositories provided much of the material I needed to develop the case studies of Oklahoma Indian involvement in the War on Poverty and to connect them to the overarching national and international narratives. For telling me the stories behind the written record, I thank Richard Boone, Edgar Cahn, William Carmack, Ross Cummings, Vine Deloria Jr. (Standing Rock Sioux), Forrest Gerard (Blackfeet), Leon Ginsberg, Margaret Gover, Senator Fred R. Harris, LaDonna Harris (Comanche), lola Hayden (Comanche), Noel Klores, Robert Roessel, Maynard Ungerman, Virgil Upchurch, Albert Wahrhaftig, Murray Wax, and Dr. Jim Wilson (Oglala Lakota). Their memories have made this a much better history. I am particularly grateful for the many hours spent interviewing and talking with lola Hayden and LaDonna Harris. In addition to granting me interviews, lola Hayden, Albert Wahrhaftig, and Murray Wax kindly made their personal papers available to me to use in this study. Several people who read and commented on earlier drafts of select chapters deserve recognition. Sonoma State University anthropologist Albert Wahrhaftig made me more conscious of the centrality of power in the story I have sought to tell and allowed me to join him during his return to the Cherokee Nation. Dr. Nancy O. Lurie read chapter two and provided critical insights on the American Indian Chicago Conference. Professor Murray L. Wax critiqued several chapters and offered extensive comments based on his own recollections as a participant in much of this history. University of Oklahoma historians William T. Hagan and Joshua Piker read the first draft of a rather long and torturous introduction. Their responses contributed to my ability to refine the methodology behind this work. Throughout the dissertation program, historian Richard Lowitt shared his thoughts and made suggestions based on his research into the life of Senator Fred R. Harris. And finally graduate student Sterling Fluharty graciously shared citations to and insights on the National Indian Youth Council. Select portions of several chapters in Part Two appeared in essays published in the JW/an CwZfwg nW JbwrnaZ and IFgffgr/z F/rfforrca/ gwarfgrJx ' I would like to thank AICRJ editor Duane Champagne and David Rich Lewis, associate editor of the WHQ, for granting me permission to use excerpts in the text that follows. A special note of gratitude is due to Professor Lewis. He challenged me to improve the original draft o f‘“Us Indians Understand the Basics’: Oklahoma Indians and the Politics ' Daniel M. Cobb, “Philosophy of an Indian War: Indian Community Action in the Johnson Administration’s War on Indian Poverty, 1964-1968,” American Indian Culture and Research Journal 22, no. 2 (1998): 41-66; Daniel M. Cobb, ‘“Us Indians Understand the Basics’: Oklahoma Indians and the Politics of Community Action, 1964-1970,” Western Historical Quarterly XXXIII, no. 1 (spring 2002): 41- 66. vi of Community Action, 1964-1970,” and it was through his encouragement and the incisive comments of the referees that I was able to turn it into an essay worthy of the Western History Association’s Bert M. Fireman Award. I am fortunate to have had several role models during my time as a student, but I would like to single out two people in particular. The first is Professor Norman Stillman, the Schusterman/Josey Chair in Judaic Studies at the University of Oklahoma. As fate would have it, I was appointed to be his research assistant during a year when I would need his presence the most. A gifted teacher, accomplished author, and wise mentor, I consider him to be the consummate scholar. The second individual is my father. Dr. Stephen G. Cobb. I have always looked to him as the kind of person that I aspire to be—-intellectually astute, socially conscious, and utterly selfless. At least it can now he said that I, too, have earned a Ph.D. I will have to continue to work on the others. One does not survive the rigors of a doctoral program without a strong support network. I am thankful that I could turn to my family. My brother and sister were never more than a phone call away, and they consistently helped me to keep things in perspective—even when they did not necessarily realize they were doing it. My wife, Nicole, did the same. Over the past five years, she has sacrificed a great deal in order to give me the time I needed to study, travel, and write. She is my strength. Though not yet two years of age, our daughter, Anna, has inspired me to work harder as well. She has great expectations: if you ask her, she will tell you that her daddy is going to win the Pulitzer. Finally, I want to acknowledge the profound debt I owe to my mother and father. For their undeviating love and encouragement, I dedicate this dissertation to them. vii Contents Acknowledgments iv Contents viii Abstract ix Introduction Continuing Encounters; Toward an American Indian Political History 1 Part I: Prelude, 1960-1963 16 1.

Focusing on the Association on American Indian Affairs, National Congress of American Indians, American Indian Chicago Conference, Workshop on American Indian Affairs, and National Indian Youth Council, Part One demonstrates that the struggle against termination and assimilation cannot be understood apart from the global politics of decolonization and domestic contests over race and mass society. Having situated the study in this milieu, Part Two examines the central role the War on Poverty, and particularly the Community Action Program, played in the politics of self-determination after its inauguration in 1964. Based on original manuscript research and interviews with Vine Deloria Jr., Forrest Gerard, Dr. Jim Wilson, and other central actors, these chapters detail the complex series of negotiations regarding the nature of poverty, the meaning of community, and the fate of tribal identities that followed. Two additional chapters focused on Oklahoma, and informed by interviews with LaDonna Harris, Senator Fred R. Harris, lola Hayden, and others demonstrate the interconnectedness of local people’s experiences and the decisions made by national policymakers.

  • The Newest Indians •
    The Newest Indians • E-Mail This • Printer-Friendly • Single-Page By JACK HITT Published: August 21, 2005 On a crisp morning in March at the Jaycee Fairgrounds near Jasper, Ala., the powwow was stirring. Amid pickups with bumper stickers reading ''Native Pride'' and ''The earth does not belong to us. We belong to the earth,'' small groups gathered to check out the booths selling Indian rugs, dancing sticks, homemade knives and genealogy books. On one side, under her camper's tarp, sat Wynona Morgan, a middle-aged woman wearing a modestly embroidered Indian smock and some jewelry. Morgan had only recently discovered her Indian heritage, but, she said, in some ways she had known who she was for years. ''My grandmother always told me that she came from Indians,'' Morgan told me. She is now a member of one of the groups meeting here in Jasper, the Cherokee Tribe of Northeast Alabama, which itself is new, having organized under that name in 1997. The tribe is committed to telling its story, in part through an R.V. campground named Cedar Winds that will eventually expand to include an ''authentic, working Cherokee Indian Village.'' Illustration by Jason Holley For more on Native American languages: NativeLanguages.com Illustration by Jason Holley ''The only real proof we had that we were Indian was this stub,'' Morgan went on to say. She had brought along a copy of a century-old receipt entitling an ancestor to receive some money from the United States government for being an Indian. With the help of an amateur genealogist named Bryan Hickman, Morgan was able to connect her line to its Indian roots, and she began to raise her son, Jo-Jo, as a Native American.

  • Albanian Families' History and Heritage Making at the Crossroads of New
    Voicing the stories of the excluded: Albanian families’ history and heritage making at the crossroads of new and old homes Eleni Vomvyla UCL Institute of Archaeology Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor in Philosophy in Cultural Heritage 2013 Declaration of originality I, Eleni Vomvyla confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature 2 To the five Albanian families for opening their homes and sharing their stories with me. 3 Abstract My research explores the dialectical relationship between identity and the conceptualisation/creation of history and heritage in migration by studying a socially excluded group in Greece, that of Albanian families. Even though the Albanian community has more than twenty years of presence in the country, its stories, often invested with otherness, remain hidden in the Greek ‘mono-cultural’ landscape. In opposition to these stigmatising discourses, my study draws on movements democratising the past and calling for engagements from below by endorsing the socially constructed nature of identity and the denationalisation of memory. A nine-month fieldwork with five Albanian families took place in their domestic and neighbourhood settings in the areas of Athens and Piraeus. Based on critical ethnography, data collection was derived from participant observation, conversational interviews and participatory techniques. From an individual and family group point of view the notion of habitus led to diverse conceptions of ethnic identity, taking transnational dimensions in families’ literal and metaphorical back- and-forth movements between Greece and Albania.

  • Franz Boas's Legacy of “Useful Knowledge”: the APS Archives And
    Franz Boas’s Legacy of “Useful Knowledge”: The APS Archives and the Future of Americanist Anthropology1 REGNA DARNELL Distinguished University Professor of Anthropology University of Western Ontario t is a pleasure and privilege, though also somewhat intimidating, to address the assembled membership of the American Philosophical ISociety. Like the august founders under whose portraits we assemble, Members come to hear their peers share the results of their inquiries across the full range of the sciences and arenas of public affairs to which they have contributed “useful knowledge.” Prior to the profes- sionalization of science in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the boundaries between disciplines were far less significant than they are today. Those who were not experts in particular topics could rest assured that their peers were capable of assessing both the state of knowledge in each other’s fields and the implications for society. Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington were all polymaths, covering what we now separate into several kinds of science, humanities, and social science in ways that crosscut one another and illustrate the permeability of disciplinary boundaries. The study of the American Indian is a piece of that multidisciplinary heri- tage that constituted the APS and continues to characterize its public persona. The Founding Members of the Society all had direct and seminal experience with the Indians and with the conflict between their traditional ways of life and the infringing world of settler colonialism. On the one hand, they felt justified in exploiting Native resources, as surveyors, treaty negotiators, and land speculators. On the other hand, the Indians represented the uniqueness of the Americas, of the New World that defined itself apart from the decadence of old Europe.

  • A Balkanist in Daghestan: Annotated Notes from the Field Victor A
    A Balkanist in Daghestan: Annotated Notes from the Field Victor a. Friedman University of Chicago Introduction and Disclaimer The Republic of Daghestan has received very little attention in the West. Chenciner (1997) is the only full-length account in English based on first-hand visits mostly in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Wixman's (1980) excellent study had to be based entirely on secondary sources, and Bennigsen and Wimbush (1986:146-81 et passim), while quite useful, is basically encyclopedic and somewhat dated. Since Daghestan is still difficult to get to, potentially unstable, and only infrequently visited by Western scholars (mostly linguists), I am offering this account of my recent visit there (16-20 June 1998), modestly supplemented by some published materials. My intent is basically informative and impressionistic, and I do not attempt to give complete coverage to many topics worthy of further research. This account does, however, update some items covered in the aforementioned works and makes some observations on Daghestan with respect to language, identity, the political situation, and a comparison with the another unstable, multi-ethnic, identity construction site, i.e., Balkans, particularly Macedonia. Background Daghestan is the third most populous Republic in the Russian Federation (after Bashkortostan and Tatarstan; Osmanov 1986:24). The northern half of its current territory, consisting of the Nogai steppe and the Kizljar region settled in part by Terek Cossacks, was added in 1922, after the fall of the North Caucasian

It is said that when two anthropologists who have worked on the same society meet they make every effort to avoid speaking to each other in the language of their field research area. The reason seems to be that linguistic competence offers an uncomfortable 'objective' index of how well one knows the given society. There lurks a paranoid fear that each grammatical error, every lapse or misuse of vocabulary, will be taken as an incriminating sign of limited understanding, of inadequate fieldwork, in short, of a botched job. Similar things could be said about fieldnotes. How many of us would happily make ours readily available, fiJIed as they are with evidence of embarrassing culture shock, puerile understandings, lack of rigour, all recorded in disgracefully unpolished, boring prose? Fieldnotes, every bit as much as linguistic ability, are an 'objective' indicator of competence, with the one advantage that they can be stored under lock and key at home, or even 'lost'. Little wonder then that fieldnotes have for so long been one of the more mysterious areas of anthropologi­ cal practice. Students are rarely shown them, much less instructed on how to keep them, but are instead expected simply to 'get on with it' when their turn comes to go to the field.
