  • Women's History Is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating in Communities
    Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook Prepared by The President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History “Just think of the ideas, the inventions, the social movements that have so dramatically altered our society. Now, many of those movements and ideas we can trace to our own founding, our founding documents: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And we can then follow those ideas as they move toward Seneca Falls, where 150 years ago, women struggled to articulate what their rights should be. From women’s struggle to gain the right to vote to gaining the access that we needed in the halls of academia, to pursuing the jobs and business opportunities we were qualified for, to competing on the field of sports, we have seen many breathtaking changes. Whether we know the names of the women who have done these acts because they stand in history, or we see them in the television or the newspaper coverage, we know that for everyone whose name we know there are countless women who are engaged every day in the ordinary, but remarkable, acts of citizenship.” —- Hillary Rodham Clinton, March 15, 1999 Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook prepared by the President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History Commission Co-Chairs: Ann Lewis and Beth Newburger Commission Members: Dr. Johnnetta B.

  • Indian Wars: Old and New

Vicaire Indigenous Law & Policy Center Working Paper 2011-01 May 4, 2011 1 Indian Wars: Old and New Matthew L.M. Fletcher & Peter S. Vicaire Introduction In March 2011, the United States submitted a brief in United States v. al Bahlul, a military commission case reviewing the conviction of a War on terror suspect, comparing the tactics used by Indians in the First Seminole War to al Qaeda.1 As government lawyers had argued in the days following September 11, 2001, the government in al Bahlul argued that the Seminole Tribe in the 1810s engaged in a form of “irregular warfare” not for the purpose of establishing a nation or state, much like al Qaeda in the modern era.2 The military‟s comparison of Indian tribes to modern international terrorist organizations strike a divisive chord in Indian country and elsewhere, as modern Indian tribes are as far removed from al Qaeda as can be. And yet, the government in some contexts continues to juxtapose the Indian warrior stereotype with modern law and policy. As our colleague Professor Wenona Singel asked, “Who would be persuaded by such an argument?”3 Professor of Law, Michigan State University College of Law. Director, Indigenous Law and Policy Center.

  • Ladonna Harris the Family’S Successful Business, NORDAM, Gives Them the Opportunity to Give Back to Their Community
    LaDonna Harris The family’s successful business, NORDAM, gives them the opportunity to give back to their community. Chapter 01 – 0:55 Introduction Announcer: “What is it like to live in a tent?” asked Robert F. Kennedy’s five-year-old daughter, Kerry, when she met Ladonna Harris for the first time in 1965. This exchange between Harris and the Kennedy family resembled many of LaDonna’s experiences with the media, the public, and government leaders as she rose to national prominence as a leading advocate of Native American rights. LaDonna Harris is a Comanche Native American from Oklahoma. She founded the Americans for Indian Opportunity and was a vice presidential candidate for the Citizens Party in the US presidential election in 1980 alongside Barry Commoner. She was given access to power in Washington, DC, because of her marriage to Oklahoma US Senator Fred Harris. To understand what took Harris from the poor farm community where she grew up to the national spotlight, it is necessary to listen to LaDonna talk about the formative years of her childhood. Listen to LaDonna Harris tell her oral history on VoicesofOklahoma.com. Chapter 02 – 8:25 The Comanche John Erling: My name is John Erling and today’s date is September 21, 2017. LaDonna, would you state your full name, please. LaDonna Harris: LaDonna Vita Crawford-Harris. JE: I gotta ask you about the name. Vita, what is Vita? LH: V-I-T-A. My mother named me LaDonna Vita. My elder sister said, “I don’t know Mother was thinking she named me Billie Carl and then named you LaDonna, which was much more beautiful.” [laughs] I don’t know where she heard the name.
