There is so much truth in this, it renders the efforts of the biographer difficult. Two forces make us what we are: heredity and environment. Heredity is defined as all things before ; en­ vironment as aH things afterward. That power to take these two forces, and so blend or use the good in one to offset the bad in the other, until a useful, competent, and beneficial life shall be presented to mankind, that soul may be said to have mastered the art of right living. Robert Lee Williams, a resident of Oklahoma for fifty-two years, I knew well. I met him on the streets of Ardmore in 1905, and I knew at once that he was a man of decided opinions, and that he was profoundly interested in building a State that he and all thinking men and women could see at that time, was just around the corner.

  • University of Oklahoma Libraries Western History Collections Indians
    University of Oklahoma Libraries Western History Collections Indians for Indians Collection Indians for Indians was a radio program that aired on WNAD, the University of Oklahoma’s radio station. The program began in April 1941, and aired from 1:00pm to 1:30pm on Tuesdays. It was a 30-minute broadcast until 1951, when it expanded to a full hour. The program presented Oklahoma Indian music, the latest Indian news, and announcements about local events including powwows. Indians for Indians was created by Sac and Fox chief, Don Whistler, who served as emcee from 1941 to 1951. The Indians for Indians Collection contains 125 reel-to-reel tapes, all recorded from the 1940s through the 1970s. The collection records over 100 hours of original Indian music by individuals and groups from many different tribes. Whistler invited selected tribal members to Norman and recorded their live performances. These broadcasts contain ceremonial, social, and religious songs and music of Apache, Comanche, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Kiowa, Creek, Seminole, Sac and Fox, Shawnee, Caddo, Pawnee, Osage, Ponca, Otoe, Iowa, Wichita, Sioux, Hopi, Cherokee Indians and other tribes. The programs were originally recorded on discs with some later re- recorded on reel-to-reel tapes. Each tape contains recordings of several broadcasts and some may contain only the performance portions of a program. ****************************************************************************** The earliest Indians for Indians original discs (1943-1950) were given to the Library of Congress for permanent preservation in 1987. They are located at the American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress.

  • The Growth of Tribal Bureaucracy: a Comparative Study of Two Oklahoma Tribes
    THE GROWTH OF TRIBAL BUREAUCRACY: A COMPARARATIVE STUDY OF TWO OKLAHOMA TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS By GEORGE D. BALDWIN II Bachelor of Arts Northeastern Oklahoma State University Tahlequah, Oklahoma 1975 Master of Science Oklahoma State University 1978 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 PHILISOPHY July, 1985 THE GROWTH OF TRIBAL BUREAUCRACY: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TWO OKLAHOMA TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii PREFACE This work would not have been accomplished without the assistance of the American Sociological Association's Minority Fellowship Program. To the ASA and to the Spivik Dissertation award committee, thank you for a career that I would not have been able to approach without your help. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Ivan Chapman for his leadership and support over the past six years. His insight and theoretical perspective has been the tool which I have used in adjusting my own relationships to large, complex organizations. Without his point of view as a guide, I have serious doubts concerning my abilities to work with the bureaucracies that I continuously find myself in. To Dr. Don Brown, thank you for your advise concerning the timing on my completion of the dissertation. You were right: it is easier if you do it before you take off for that first job. You were also right in that it is a better piece of work "second time around". And to Dr. Perkins: Thank you for your patience and being in your office during the summer of 1985 to act as a sounding board for my hairbrained idea to do the final copy of my dissertation on a computer.
