  • Otoe-Missouria Tribe Internet Commerce: Helping Our People
    OTOE-MISSOURIA TRIBE INTERNET COMMERCE: HELPING OUR PEOPLE BACKGROUND The Otoe-Missouria Tribe is a Red Rock, Oklahoma-based Native American tribe with nearly 3,000 members. The Otoe-Missouria faces the unfortunate and all-too-common struggles plaguing Indian country today: staggering unemployment rates, limited opportunities, and lack of access to fundamental resources. In an increasingly competitive gaming environment, in which the Tribe has witnessed competitors open casinos in painful proximities, we continue to feel the seemingly insurmountable pressures of finding ways to relieve our gaming operations of the disproportionate burden of providing for our members. INTERNET COMMERCE INITIATIVES: PROVIDING FOR OUR PEOPLE In 2009, the Otoe-Missouria Tribe took a giant leap in developing economic opportunities for the Tribe and its members: establishing itself in the internet commerce arena. Internet commerce has been an invaluable vehicle for economic growth, tribal services, and tribal development. Internet commerce’s potential impact on tribal growth and opportunity is immeasurable. Its effects have already proven tremendously critical for tribal advancement and financial assistance: Budget: Accounts for 25% of Otoe-Missouria’s Non-federal Tribal budget; Employment: Created 65 jobs on Tribal land, including financial support staff, Head Start educators, and Tribal housing personnel; Infrastructure: Critical funding for new tribal housing and renovation; Education: Additional classrooms, books, and teachers for Head Start, New after-achool program, New Summer Youth program; Tribal Services: Child Care Services, employment training, natural resources development, financial assistance, utility assistance, healthcare and wellness coverage, emergency assistance; Social Services: Child protection, Low- income Home Energy Assistance Program,family violence protection.

  • WONDERFUL OTOE INDIAN COLLECTION Presented to Nebraska State Historical Society by Major A
    NEBRASKA HISTORY MAGAZINE 169 These houses are mostly rectangular, some however are round. They are from 18 to 55 feet in diameter and the floor level varies from seven inches to forty-two inch­ es below the present surface. Much valuable and inter­ esting information and evidence has been obtained but further work is necessary for proof of conclusions which are now assumed. In the vicinity of these sites are other sites in which no work has been done. It is very important that this work be carried forward as soon as possible as valuable eyidence is rapidly disappearing by erosion, decomposi­ tion, tillage of the soil and in several instances by inex­ perienced people digging into them. The Campaign of 1934 in prehistoric Nebraska will begin in May. Director Hill will take the field with a trained corps of workers. Camping outfits will locate at some of the sites which have been selected. Scientific equipment and methods will be employed. New and im­ portant chapters in the story of prehistoric peoples in Nebraska will be made known in this campaign. And the evidences of the buried aboriginal empire on these plains will be assembled in the Nebraska Historical Soci­ ety Museum in the State Capitol. -----0----­ WONDERFUL OTOE INDIAN COLLECTION Presented to Nebraska State Historical Society by Major A. L. Green, of Beatrice and His Son T. L. Green, of Scottsbluff. Otoe Land was Southeastern Nebraska from the Platte River south to the Big Nemaha, from the Missouri west to the Big Blue. The capitol city of this Otoe Em­ pire was the great Otoe village, about three miles south­ east of the present village of Yutan in Saunders county.

  • The Otoe-Missouria Flag Song
    Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 30 (2008), p. 98 The Otoe-Missouria Flag Song Jill D. Greer Social Science Department, Missouri Southern State University Introduction As the title suggests, the focus of this paper is upon a single important song within the Otoe- Missouria tribe. This is a preliminary sketch, or a truly working paper as the KU publication series denotes. In subject and approach, it has been inspired by the venerable tradition of collecting, preserving, and analyzing Native American texts begun with 19th century BAE ethnographers such as James Owen Dorsey, encouraged by Franz Boas and his Americanist students, and celebrated by more recent scholars of verbal art as Hymes, Tedlock, Sherzer, and Basso. The particular esthetic principles used in the text will link it clearly to other tribal songs, and to the performance context as well. I will also raise issues of cultural change and continuity in the context of language shift, and finally, I argue that this Flag Song compellingly demonstrates the value of maintaining a heritage language within endangered and obsolescent language communities.1 By a heritage language, I mean a language which may no longer exist as an “everyday spoken medium of communication” but which may persist in special settings, such as the realm of sacred language in songs and prayer.2 The Western tradition has the familiar example of Latin preserved by use in the Church and as the common written language of scholars, but unlike Latin, the majority of Native languages were not represented in written form by their respective speech communities.3 The numerous circumstances leading to language shift within the Otoe- Missouria community have been similar to that documented elsewhere for the First Nations peoples in the U.S., and it is beyond the scope of this paper to review that tragic process in detail.

Box 470 U.S. POSTAGE Pawnee, OK 74058 PAID PERMIT NO. 43 RETURN SERVICE REQUESTED PAWNEE, OK 74058 Page 2 Chaticks si Chaticks -October 2009- Message from the President Dear Pawnee Tribal Members: Take a look at the building going up at the Pawnee Nation Travel Plaza! Many have told me that as they drive by and see the structure developing, they feel proud. At long last the Pawnee Nation is stepping into the competitive arena of the casino and gaming business. Like it or not, the casino business for many American Indian tribes across the country has provided an economic advantage. We have lost three (3) years, plus $300,000,000 in the debacle of a few years. We had to work hard to prove our mettle to now skeptical lending agencies that we are an internally and structurally sound tribal organization of note. We are Pawnee and can make this business and its resulting products work to our advantage. We recognize the efforts of every member of the Tribal Development Cooperation (TDC) on this project. Each person on TDC had a hand in making this project a reality. This effort is a result of dogged TDC teamwork. My only regret at this point is that Les Hand, late Pawnee Business Council Treasurer, is not here to see the fruit of his work while on TDC. He is not here, but he sees it. The structure being built is 10,000 square feet and will accommodate 200 gaming machines and a 70 seating capacity steak house.

  • War of 1812 by Beth Carvey the Sauk and Meskwaki and the War of 1812 Prelude to War the War of 1812 Was a Significant Event in S
    War of 1812 by Beth Carvey The Sauk and Meskwaki and the War of 1812 Prelude to War The War of 1812 was a significant event in Sauk and Meskwaki history and also for many other native nations who resided along and near the Mississippi River. The War of 1812 was actually two wars: an international war fought between the United States and Great Britain in the east and an Indian war fought in the west. This article is the first of a four-part series which will explore the War of 1812 in terms of native peoples’ points of view, the military actions that occurred in the western frontier theater, and the consequences for the Sauk and Meskwaki that resulted from the American victory. In 1812 the western frontier was comprised of the Mississippi, Illinois, and Missouri River regions, encompassing parts of present-day Wisconsin, Illinois, and northwest Missouri. More than ten different native nations, including the Sauk and Meskwaki, lived on these lands with an estimated population of 25,000 people. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 the native people of the region had been growing increasingly unhappy with the United States. Four main reasons were at the heart of this unhappiness: arrogance and ignorance on the part of many American officials; illegal white settlement on native lands; a number of treaties that dispossessed tribes of their lands; and economic matters, specifically the fur trade. The Sauk and Meskwaki had poor relations with the United States government since the signing of the fraudulent Treaty of 1804, whereby the two nations ceded over 50 million acres of land to the United States.

  • The Archeological Heritage of Kansas
    THE ARCHEOLOGICAL HERITAGE OF KANSAS A Synopsis of the Kansas Preservation Plan by John D. Reynolds and William B. Lees, Ph.D. Edited By Robert J. Hoard and Virginia Wulfkuhle funded in part by a grant from the United States Department of the Interior National Park Service KSHS Archeology Popular Report No. 7 Cultural Resources Division Kansas State Historical Society Topeka, Kansas 2004 1 Preface This document is a synopsis of the archeology section of the Kansas Preservation Plan, which was financed in part with Federal funds from the National Park Service, a division of the United States Department of the Interior, and administered by the Kansas State Historical Society. The contents and opinions, however, do not necessarily reflect the view or policies of the United States Department of the Interior or the Kansas State Historical Society. The Kansas Preservation Plan is a technical document that was developed for the Historic Preservation Department of the Kansas State Historical Society that is designed to provide the background for making informed decisions in preserving the state's heritage. The size and technical nature of the plan make it inaccessible to many who have interests or responsibilities in Kansas archeology. Thus, the following synopsis of the archeology sections of the Kansas Preservation Plan is designed as a non-technical, abbreviated introduction to Kansas archeology. William B. Lees and John D. Reynolds wrote the original version of this document in 1989. These two men were employed by the Kansas State Historical Society, respectively, as Historic Archeologist and Assistant State Archeologist. Bill Lees moved on to work in Oklahoma and Kentucky.

Article Summary: The reservation was established by treaty in 1830. It set aside land for people of mixed ancestry—the descendants of French-Canadian trappers and women of various tribes including the Iowa, Oto, Omaha, Santee, and Yankton. The federal government first made allotments in severalty to Indians on the Nemaha Half-Breed Reservation. The first patent was issued to an Indian on this reservation three years before the first entry under the Homestead Act of 1862. The author was an expert witness in the Oto and Missouri Case, presenting a unique perspective on the history of this reservation and the disputes over the land survey. By 1882, the reservation was closed and the Indians had been removed to present-day Oklahoma.

    Native Lands in Central Iowa Indigenous peoples have lived in Iowa for over 10,000 years. Since about 3,000 years ago, Native people in what is today Iowa have been farmers. They built villages and towns, burial and effigy mounds, ridged fields, and large earthworks. They were involved in a network of trade that spanned the continent. Native people have been shaping this land just like they have been shaping its history and its current society and culture from time immemorial. Today, the state of Iowa is home to around 17,000 Native people from all over North America. Most people in the United States do not know much about the history of the land or the histories of the people of the land. Iowa State University, the land grant university in Iowa, takes its obligations to provide that education seriously. Iowa State University acknowledges the histories of the land it is built on, and where students, faculty, and staff gather to learn, educate, and live. This land carries the histories within it, and the people on it establish relations to the land through the ways in which they remember and acknowledge those histories. Those histories are complex. If we listen to them we learn how to relate. If we ignore them, we run the danger of tapping into some of the darkest stereotypes and untruths. Land Acknowledgment Statement "Iowa State University aspires to be the best land‐grant university at creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where diverse individuals can succeed and thrive. As a land‐grant institution, we are committed to the caretaking of this land and would like to begin this event by acknowledging those who have previously taken care of the land on which we gather.
