    TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Preface 3 Introduction: 5 Treaties 6 The Basis and Scope of Federal Power over Indians 7 The Scope of Tribal Self-Government 8 Allotments 10 Treaties-Group I 13 Agreements-Group II 19 Acts of Congress-Group III 29 Appendix A-Maps of Land Cession 45 Appendix B-1920 Act Complete 51 Chronological Index (With Amendments) 60 Subject Index 65 PREFACE Since 1950 members of the Crow Tribe have become generally interested in the political affairs of the tribe. Controversial issues have stimulated participation in political activities and have even split the tribe into political factions. The younger generations have challenged the leadership and power control of old line politicians. Within a short time, many members of the tribe have become skill-full parliamentarians, able speakers, shrewd party organizers, election managers, etc. Comparatively few, however, have ready knowledge of the treaties, legislative laws, and other legal regulations which directly and specifically regulate and affect the affairs of the Crow Tribe and its members. No other tribe, perhaps with the exception of the Osages, has been the subject of so many treaties, agreements, Acts of Congress, etc. than the Crow Tribe. The purpose of this booklet is to make available to the members of the Crow Tribe, and other interested parties, a ready reference or handbook on specific treaty and legislative laws and other legal regulations directly affecting the affairs of the Crow Indians. In order to keep it to a pamphlet size and easy to read and understand this handbook is written in outline or summary .form.

Riggio and Rebecca J. Reichard Kravis Leadership Institute, Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, California, USA Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe a framework for conceptualizing the role of emotional and social skills in effective leadership and management and provides preliminary suggestions for research and for the development of leader emotional and social skills. Design/methodology/approach – The paper generalizes a dyadic communications framework in order to describe the process of emotional and social exchanges between leaders and their followers. Findings – The paper shows how emotional skills and complementary social skills are essential for effective leadership through a literature review and discussion of ongoing research and a research agenda. Practical implications – Suggestions for the measurement and development of emotional and social skills for leaders and managers are offered. Originality/value – The work provides a framework for emotional and social skills in order to illustrate their role in leadership and their relationship to emotional and social intelligences. It outlines a research agenda and advances thinking of the role of developable emotional and social skills for managers. Keywords Emotional intelligence, Social skills, Leadership development Paper type Conceptual paper In his classic work on managerial skills, Mintzberg (1973) listed specific interpersonal skills (i.e. the ability to establish and maintain social networks; the ability to deal with subordinates; the ability to empathize with top-level leaders) as critical for managerial effectiveness.

  • Concurrent Alcohol and Tobacco Dependence
    Concurrent Alcohol and Tobacco Dependence Mechanisms and Treatment David J. Drobes, Ph.D. People who drink alcohol often also smoke and vice versa. Several mechanisms may contribute to concurrent alcohol and tobacco use. These mechanisms include genes that are involved in regulating certain brain chemical systems; neurobiological mechanisms, such as cross-tolerance and cross-sensitization to both drugs; conditioning mechanisms, in which cravings for alcohol or nicotine are elicited by certain environmental cues; and psychosocial factors (e.g., personality characteristics and coexisting psychiatric disorders). Treatment outcomes for patients addicted to both alcohol and nicotine are generally worse than for people addicted to only one drug, and many treatment providers do not promote smoking cessation during alcoholism treatment. Recent findings suggest, however, that concurrent treatment for both addictions may improve treatment outcomes.

Thus, this paper focuses on the role of family relations, especially parent-child attachment, as determining factor in the development of antisocial behaviour among adolescents. Previous studies have shown that secure attachment is generally related to positive behavioural and social outcomes, while insecure attachment (ambivalent or avoidant) are often related to negative outcomes. Insecure attachment which is associated with parental negativity and rejection predicts externalizing behaviour such as aggression and disruptiveness; and internalizing behaviours; such as depression, anxiety, and social withdrawal. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Keywords: Antisocial Behaviour; Attachment;Family Variables;Parent-Child Attachment; 1.Introduction Antisocial behaviour is defined as behaviours resulting from an individual’s inability to respect the rights of others (Frick, 1998; cited in Fortin, 2003). These behaviours include assault, vandalism, setting fires, theft, crime and other delinquent acts which conform to social norms. According to Farrington (2005), antisocial behaviour in childhood and adolescence are categorized to behavioural disorders, impulsiveness, stealing, vandalism, physical and psychological aggression, bullying, running away from home and truant.

That’sI how TSSW alumna Brooks Zitzmann (MSW ’09) sums up her time as Queen Tucks XLVII, but she added that the experience has been more rewarding than words can describe. “It’s been a whirlwind but it’s been an amazing experience,” Zitzmann said. “From hosting parties as part of my royal duties to the Coronation Ball, it’s been very special and exceptionally fun.

  • Social Skills Instruction Is a Frequent Part of the Prevention and Treatment of These Disorders (Spence, 2003)
    Social Skills Tiers 1, 2 & 3 Instruction Strategy Brief, Septermber, 2014. Jenna Strawhun, Ann O’Connor, Laura Norris & Reece L. Peterson, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. aving strong social skills is essential to a child’s academic and personal success. These skills Hguide children’s everyday interactions and the extent to which they possess them can influ- ence what they say, how they behave, and even the choices that they make. When children and adolescents struggle with social skills, they face challenges both inside and outside of the class- room. Social competence is “the ability to obtain successful outcomes from interactions with others” (Spence, 2003, p. 84) or social functioning. Social competence requires students to adapt to differ- ent social contexts, and know appropriate behavior and communication skills in a variety of situations. Social competence has been shown to have a long-term effect on psychological, academic, and adaptive functioning (Elliot, Malecki, & Demaray, 2001). Social skills are one essential component of social competence. They rep- resent the skills which, if present, lead a person to be socially competent. Navigating everyday interactions can be especially Tier 1, 2 or 3 difficult when a person has not learned social skills; interactions with both peers and adults are hindered. Intervention According to Otten and Tuttle (2011), students with poor social and behavioral skills are at risk for a stag- gering number of problems that have a negative impact on not only themselves, but society as well. Some of these problems include school dropout, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, delinquency, and aggression. According to Spence (2003), research evidence shows that social skill deficits are associated with a wide variety of emotional and behavioral problems.

  • The Pain Experience of Traditional Crow Indian by Norma Kay
    The pain experience of traditional Crow Indian by Norma Kay Krumwiede A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Nursing Montana State University © Copyright by Norma Kay Krumwiede (1996) Abstract: The purpose of this qualitative research study was to explore the pain experience of the traditional Crow Indian people. An understanding of the Crow people's experience of pain is crucial in order to provide quality nursing care to members of this population. As nurse researchers gain understanding of these cultural gaps and report their findings, clinically based nurses will be better equipped to serve and meet the unique needs of the traditional Crow Indian. Ethnographic interviews were conducted with 15 traditional Crow Indians currently living on the reservation in southeastern Montana. The informants identified themselves as traditional utilizing Milligan's (1981) typology. Collection of data occurred through (a) spontaneous interviews, (b) observations, (c) written stories, (d) historical landmarks, and (e) field notes. Spradley's (1979) taxonomic analysis method was used to condense the large amount of data into a taxonomy of concepts. The taxonomy of Crow pain evolved into two indigenous categories of “Good Hurt” and “Bad Hurt”. The Crow view “good hurt” as being embedded in natural life events and ceremonies, rituals and healing. The Crow experience "bad hurt” as emanating from two sources: loss and hardship. The Crow believe that every person will experience both “good hurt” and “bad hurt” sometime during their lifetime. The Crow gain knowledge, wisdom and status as they experience, live through, and learn from painful events throughout their lifetime.
