  • Peace, Power and Persistence: Presidents, Indians, and Protestant Missions in the American Midwest 1790-1860
    PEACE, POWER AND PERSISTENCE: PRESIDENTS, INDIANS, AND PROTESTANT MISSIONS IN THE AMERICAN MIDWEST 1790-1860 By Rebecca Lynn Nutt A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History—Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT PEACE, POWER AND PERSISTENCE: PRESIDENTS, INDIANS, AND PROTESTANT MISSIONS IN THE AMERICAN MIDWEST 1790-1860 By Rebecca Lynn Nutt This dissertation explores the relationships between the Shawnee and Wyandot peoples in the Ohio River Valley and the Quaker and Methodist missionaries with whom they worked. Both of these Indian communities persisted in the Ohio Valley, in part, by the selective adoption of particular Euro-American farming techniques and educational methods as a means of keeping peace and remaining on their Ohio lands. The early years of Ohio statehood reveal a vibrant, active multi-cultural environment characterized by mutual exchange between these Indian nations, American missionaries, and Euro- and African-American settlers in the frontier-like environment of west-central Ohio. In particular, the relationships between the Wyandot and the Shawnee and their missionary friends continued from their time in the Ohio Valley through their removal to Indian Territory in Kansas in 1833 and 1843. While the relationships continued in the West, the missions themselves took on a different dynamic. The teaching methods became stricter, the instruction observed religious teaching more intensely, and the students primarily boarded at the school. The missionary schools began to more closely resemble the notorious government boarding schools of the late-nineteenth century as the missions became more and more entwined with the federal government.

  • Advent of the New. York Indians Into Wisconsin
    1810-17] Coming oF New York Indians 415 Advent of the New. York Indians into Wisconsin By Albert G. Ellis The Holland Land Company had, for many years, held the pre­ emption right of purchase from the Indians, to most of the land of Western iTew York, having derived it from Massachusetts originally, subsequently confirmed by the State of New- York. A large purchase was made of the Indians, by Phelps and Gorham-, of nearly all the lands east of Genesee Eiver. Of the balance, lying ivesi of that river, a large cession was made to that com­ pany, at a council of the Senecas, held at Gfeneseo, in Sept. 1T97; excepting certain reservations. These reservations were large and included the most ebodee^ parts of the whole. "In 1810', the Holland Land Company sold all their pre-emp­ tive right to the Indian reservations to David A. Ogden, for fifty cents per acre." Mr. O'gden and his associates in tbia purchaae were afterward known as the "Ogden Company." Up to 1817, they had suoceeded in extinguishing but a part of the Indian title; the large reservations of Ciattaraug^S', Allegibany, Tbnnewanda, Tuscarora, and Buffalo, still remaining. The anxiety of the com­ pany to effect the extinguislxment of the Indian title to these reser­ vations, and the removal of the Indians, had exhibited itself in various form's, and sundr)^ unsuccessful efforts, for years. In this year, a Uicw plan was conceived, and its accomplishment set on foot, to wit:—to secure in the West, by ex)neent and aid of the 416 Wisconsin Historical Collections [voi.ii General Government, an extensive grant of lands from the west- em tribes, as a home or hunting ground for the several tribes holding the reservations in Western jSTew York.
