  • Invoking Authority in the Chickasaw Nation, 1783–1795
    "To Treat with All Nations": Invoking Authority in the Chickasaw Nation, 1783–1795 Jason Herbert Ohio Valley History, Volume 18, Number 1, Spring 2018, pp. 27-44 (Article) Published by The Filson Historical Society and Cincinnati Museum Center For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/689417 [ Access provided at 26 Sep 2021 02:59 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] “To Treat with All Nations” Invoking Authority in the Chickasaw Nation, 1783–1795 Jason Herbert gulayacabé was furious in the fall of 1796. Like many Chickasaws, he was stunned to learn of the recent treaty between the United States and Spain, which now jeopardized his nation’s sovereignty. The deal, Uwhich gave the Americans navigation rights to the Mississippi River and drew a new border along the 31st parallel, was the culmination of constant jockey- ing between the empires over land and trade routes in the Southeast since the American Revolution. However, the Treaty of San Lorenzo (also called Pinckney’s Treaty) was little different from other imperial pacts in that American Indians were not invited to the table. Nevertheless, the pact meant relations in Indian country were to be amended. At a meeting at San Fernando de las Barrancas (present-day Memphis), Ugulayacabé railed against his Spanish friends. “We see that our Father not only abandons us like small animals to the claws of tigers and the jaws of wolves.” The United States’ proclamations of friendship, he contin- ued, were like “the rattlesnake that caresses the squirrel in order to devour it.”1 Of course, not everyone shared Ugulayacabé’s frustrations.

But they also rely on the soil resources, there are tribes who are very rich thanks to their oil resources. Natural resources After 1905 deposits of lead and zinc in the Tri-State Mining District made the Quapaws of Ottawa County some of the richest Indians of the USA. Zinc mines also left hazardous waste that still poisons parts of their lands. The Osages became known as the world's richest Indians because their “head right” system distributed the royalties from their “underground reservation” equally to the original allottees. The Osage's territory was full of oil. Gaming revenues The Chickasaw are today the richest tribe in Oklahoma thanks to their Casinos they make a lot of profit. On their website you can read : “From Bank2, Bedre Chocolates, KADA and KYKC radio stations and the McSwain Theatre to the 13 gaming centers, travel plazas and tobacco stores, the variety and prosperity of the Chickasaw Nation's businesses exemplifies the epitome of economic success!”.

  • Tell Us About Your Name Anoatubby. There Must Be Some Meaning to That
    BILL AN O ATUBBY 2 JE: Tell us about your name Anoatubby. There must be some meaning to that. BA: Yes it is a warrior name within the Chickasaw Nation and it means “walk and kill.” JE: Do you know how far back it goes and where it originated? BA: Well, it’s difficult to say for sure but I do have an account where I had a relative that was with Davy Crockett, it was in his journal. They were working with Andrew Jackson and that we’re talking in the 1700s and early 1800s. JE: Tell us where you were born. BA: I was born in Dennison, Texas. Moved from Dennison, Texas, when I was just a baby, I guess you’d say, to Tishomingo, and that’s where I was raised. My dad, a full-blood Chickasaw, and the rest of the family moved to Dennison, obviously proud of my birth. He was there to work. He worked for Kraft Foods in Dennison, Texas. JE: About Tishomingo, that was the original capital for the Chickasaws? BA: That’s a historic capital. The Chickasaws moved into Indian Territory in the late 1830s. Tishomingo was the central part of the territory where the Chickasaws lived. JE: Tishomingo takes its name from? BA: It’s from a war chief, Chief Tishomingo. He was the last war chief of the Chickasaws. JE: Then let’s talk about your mother and where she was born and where she grew up. BA: My mother was Opal Mitchell Anoatubby. She was born in Greenville, Texas, and moved to Tishomingo when she was but a young girl.

These facilities include the three largest casinos operated by the Nation, WinStar World Casino located in Thackerville, Oklahoma, Love county in which measures over 400,000 square feet and has an average of $340,000 electric expenditure per month: Riverwind Casino located in Goldsby, Oklahoma, McClain county measures 250,058 square feet and has a monthly electric charge of $154,765: Newcastle Gaming Center located in Newcastle Oklahoma, McClain county measures 21,073 square feet and has an average charge of $45,100 per month. The potential for energy reduction and savings is greatest at these locations and was the determining factor in being chosen for this project. In addition to the big three, 14 other smaller to mid-sized casinos and retail stores have been included in this project to obtain the greatest reduction in energy usage. Lighting upgrades were performed changing out old less efficient bulbs and ballast to the newest most energy efficient replacements. Before this grant many tribal facilities still used the nigh energy consuming T-12 bulbs but now have been changed to the T8 or the T5 bulbs which has reduced energy consumption by half per fixture. It is estimated that a total of $175,000 is now being saved per year which is approximately 208,260 kilowatts annually.
