    EXAMPLES FOR THE WORLD: FOUR TRANSITIONAL SIOUX WRITERS AND THE SIOUX LITERARY RENAISSANCE By RUTH J. HEFLIN Bachelor of Arts Kansas State University Manhattan, Kansas 1985 Master of Arts Kansas State University Manhattan, Kansas 1988 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May, 1997 COPYR±GHT by Ruth J. Heflin May 1997 EXAMPLES FOR THE WORLD: FOUR TRANSITIONAL SIOUX WRITERS A.ND THE SIOUX LITERARY RENAISSANCE Thesis Approved: Thesis Advisor Dean of the Graduate College 11 PREFACE Transitional era Sioux produced some of the most prolific and most influential writers among American Indians of the time. They, as an individual Indian nation, deserve a closer analysis in respect not only because of the sheer number and range ofworks--from autobiography to opera--they produced, but also because of the depth and quality of their writings. While American Indian writings should not be judged solely based on their adherence to EuroAmerican literary traditions, their contributions to those traditions should be acknowledged. Charles Alexander Eastman, Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, Luther Standing Bear, and Nicholas Black Elk all contributed to the tenor of Modernist American literature, perhaps more accurately labeled Transitional American literature for all writers from approximately 1890 to 1955. This study examines Eastman, Bonnin, Standing Bear, and Black Elk as Sioux writers who were affected by and who in tum affected Modem American literature and the writers, especially other American Indians, who followed. While examining them as Sioux writers, arguing in effect for acknowledgement of the Sioux Literary Renaissance, I examine the effect their cultures--both Sioux and EuroAmerican--and their individual choices had on their writings.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “American Indian Freedom Controversy:” Political and Social Activism by Southern California Mission Indians, 1934-1958 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Heather Marie Daly 2013 © Copyright by Heather Marie Daly 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “American Indian Freedom Controversy:” Political and Social Activism by Southern California Mission Indians, 1934-1958 by Heather Marie Daly Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Janice Reiff, Chair At the turn of the twentieth century, anthropologists and politicians alike predicted the extinction of American Indians. Yet, Native Americans survived, persevered, and instituted political activism concerning the United States federal Indian policies in that century. Drawing upon Bureau of Indian Affairs and State of California archival materials, oral histories, and tribal records, this dissertation addresses American Indian political movements in Southern California Mission Indian country in the years 1934-1958. This study focuses on the different factions on and off the Southern California Indian reservations and the federal Indian policies that inspired resistance within these communities. I argue that the implied passivity that the Bureau of Indian Affairs and reformers labeled California Indians was a myth. The political movements established during the first half of the twentieth century demonstrates that the Mission Indians had the required tools to maintain their ii tribal land and sovereignty. This dissertation starts with the impending implementation of the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act and covers the administration of John Collier as Commissioner of Indian Affairs and the reactions to the Indian New Deal by the Mission Indians in Southern California.

Deloria, Chair Professor June M. Howard Professor Magdalena J. Zaborowska Assistant Professor Matthew M. Briones, University of Chicago © Kiara M. Vigil 2011 For my father, an intellectual and an artist: R. Max Vigil (1938-2006) ii Acknowledgements I could never have completed a project such as this without a tremendous amount of scholarly and personal support from other people. In particular, I am grateful for the presence of the Program in American Culture’s ever resourceful and sanguine Director, Gregory E. Dowd, and the administrative staff: Judy Gray, Mary Freiman, Tabby Rohn, Brook Posler, and Marlene Moore. In fact, Marlene, I know that I am not alone in saying that although I cannot begin to comprehend the magnitude of all that you know and do for graduate students in American Culture I have never been without an answer to an important question and a feeling of security because I have always had you there to rely on. As others have said before me, Marlene is simply the best. In addition to those I name in the pages that follow I would like to thank, more broadly, all the graduate students and faculty from American Culture at the University of Michigan for their inspiring work, and their tireless commitment to research in Ethnic Studies and American Studies.
