    Rebuilding a Nation: Cherokee Tribal Architecture, 1839-1907 Ellen Dement Hurd A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Architecture University of Washington 2019 Committee: Jeffrey Ochsner Louisa Iarocci Program authorized to offer degree: Department of Architecture ©Copyright 2019 Ellen Dement Hurd University of Washington Abstract Rebuilding a Nation: Cherokee Tribal Architecture, 1839-1907 Ellen Dement Hurd Chair of Supervisory Committee Professor Jeffrey K. Ochsner Department of Architecture The Cherokee Nation was forcibly relocated from their ancestral homeland in the American southeast to Indian Territory (in what is now the State of Oklahoma) in 1839. This thesis discusses the architectural history of the administrative and institutional buildings constructed by the tribal government in the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory. This analysis covers the period between 1839 to 1907, encompassing the years between the establishment of the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory and the admittance of the state of Oklahoma to the Union. In this period, the Cherokee Nation engaged in a process of acculturation both socially and architecturally, selectively adapting building forms drawn from Euro-American cultural traditions. This thesis argues that the Cherokee Nation used Euro-American architectural styles to demonstrate the tribe’s ability to govern themselves according to the standards of the United States and, therefore, their right to retain political autonomy.

    Family and Nation: Cherokee Orphan Care, 1835-1903 Julie Reed A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by Theda Perdue, Committee Chair Michael D. Green Kathleen Duval Abstract Julie Reed Family and Nation: Cherokee Orphan Care, 1835-1903 (Under the direction of Theda Perdue, Michael D. Green, and Kathleen Duval) In 1872, the Cherokee Nation established its Orphan Asylum as a means to provide support and education to its orphaned children. The Asylum, like hundreds across the United States, provided a modern means to care for orphan children, but unlike other institutions in Indian Territory or the United States, the Cherokees controlled all facets of the institution. The Asylum combined English education, manual labor, and a home to hundreds of Cherokee children. As the Cherokee Nation faced threats from white settlement, federal proposals to make Indian Territory a United States Territory, railroad companies, and allotment, the Orphan Asylum emerged as a symbol of the Cherokees’ sovereign status and aided the transmission of traditional values rooted in community and family to its next generation. ii To my Nation, my advisors, my colleagues, my friends, my students, my family (especially my parents and my husband Nick), and most of all my greatest accomplishment Lilith Selu. iii Table of Contents List of Illustrations…………………………………………………………………………….v Family and

    The Road Not Taken: Discovering a World I Never Knew James G. McCullagh Abstract: The purpose of this paper is two-fold. The first discusses the life of an extraordinary social worker, Howard Chandler Walkingstick, who was a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. He worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs in primarily nine Western states serving numerous tribes for 30 years before retiring and receiving the Distinguished Service Award from the Secretary of the Interior, Stewart Udall. Afterwards, he worked for the State of Oklahoma for another ten years before retiring. He was a recipient of many awards, all in recognition of his many accomplishments on behalf of his work with Indians and non-Indians. The second purpose of this paper is a reflection on how my relationship with Howard for three years until his death impacted me personally and the direction of my professional career. Howard became a dear friend akin to a wise uncle, as he educated me about his life and family and his work. This, in turn, led the author to complete extensive research and publishing on various aspects of the Cherokee Nation. Keywords: American Indian, Cherokee Nation, Bureau of Indian Affairs. In the fall of 2000 Reflections: Narratives of write an article on school social work in the 1930s, Professional Helping published in their Special I chanced upon the names of about 25 school social Section on American Indians an article titled workers who were employed by the Bureau of “Opening Doors for First Nations’ Peoples” by Indian Affairs, which were published in a National Walkingstick and McCullagh (2000).

It also takes a village to raise a graduate student. There are many whom I need to express my utmost gratitude for fostering my success in the last decade. I first want to thank the Scholarship Committee in the OSU Department of History for their continued support that enabled me to continue my education despite financial difficulties. Throughout my time at Oklahoma State University, I have been lucky to have worked with several professors. Drs. Moses, McCoy, Cooper, and Huston provided wonderful encouragement when I was a new student. I am thankful for the time Dr. Brian Frehner served as my advisor. A special thank you to Dr. Bryans for serving as my last advisor and staying with me through the entire process.
