Warren Metcalf _____________________________ Jerry Bread © Copyright by Bobanne G. Roush 2005 All Rights Reserved Acknowledgments I wish to express my gratitude and thanks to all those who inspired my academic career. It has been a long, and sometimes, rocky road but well worth the journey. Throughout this time and effort many people have contributed to the successful completion of my education. I would like to recognize those individuals who stayed with me to the end. First, to my dissertation committee, I appreciate their patience, endurance, and encouragement. I especially thank Dr. Betty Harris for her willingness to chair my committee. Her helpful suggestions, guidance, and direction are greatly appreciated. I would like to thank Dr. Lesley Rankin-Hill for pro viding additional insights and sources for my research from time to time. A grateful thank you is extended to Dr. Warren Metcalf for his patience over the years and cheerful encouragement, even when I overlooked his book in my bibliography. Appreciation and thanks are also extended to Dr. Gus Palmer and Dr. Jerry Bread for their willingness to be added to my committee late in my Doctoral program. Their native knowledge was encouraging. It was reassuring to know I could call on them if I had questions about Native peoples. I am indebted to the Native peoples in and around the Perkins Indian community who were the focus of my research. They patiently spent their time answering my endless questions. For this I am especially grateful. I also want to express my thanks to various Iowa tribal administrators who allowed me access to their facilities, documents, and personnel for interviews. Without their permission this research would have been difficult. iv I appreciate my family s interest over the years, most notably, my three sisters, for their inquisitiveness and curiosity about my educational endeavors even though they did not fully understand my perseverance when the going got tough. It was a motivating factor and contributed to my endurance. I give an extra special thanks to my mother for her unwavering confidence that I would finally finish my Doctoral dissertation and graduate. It was a source of comfort and inspiration. To my father, I am ever so grateful for his financial support and advice to keep going. His lifelong success was a source of inspiration and unwavering determination. Heartfelt appreciation, many thanks, and great respect is extended to Dr. Robert L. Fields, friend and mentor, whose encouragement, direction, and admonitions were an inspiration. His persistent teasing and advice were welcomed, and his Native insights and empirical knowledge about Native cultures were invaluable. It got me through challenging times. And, finally, I extend many thanks to Glenda, his wife, who cheerfully put up with my frustrations and ranting. She was always ready to listen and feed me. My acknowledgments would be incomplete without a tongue-in-cheek thanks guys to Paul and Wayne who never could understand my desire to learn about Native cultures. To them I say, Surprise! When I left my home all those years ago I remembered what the divorce attorney wrote in his brief, She ran away to live with the Indians and silently I said, Just wait guys, you ll see! To all, Aho. v Table of Contents Acknowledgments iv List of Figures ix List of Maps ix List of Charts ix Abstract x Part I. Introduction. 1 Chapter 1.

Costs of health services and nutritious foods are increasing dramatically every year for everyone. For American Indians it becomes a test of endurance and creativity to be able to access quality, affordable health care. A commonly held belief that Indians get free health care is misguided. Health care services are not free. They are expensive. They are a provision of many treaties that were negotiated between tribes/nations and the federal government. Thus, Native peoples are entitled to health care services but access is complex and comes at a price. Like a spider s web, healt h care and nutrition services are linked to identity, kinship, membership, and social networks which are dependent on the world economy. Tribal economic development is an avenue tribes are taking to be able to provide these services for its members. Economic development also decreases tribal dependence on the Federal dollar.

  • Iowa Indians' Political and Economic Adaptations
    “We are not now as we once were”: Iowa Indians’ Political and Economic Adaptations during U.S. Incorporation David Bernstein, University of Wisconsin–Madison Abstract. The historical legacy of the eastern prairies between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers in the 1830s is dominated by a series of violent confrontations between Indians and the U.S. Army. Though the “Black Hawk Wars” involved just a few of the Indians living along the Mississippi River watershed, these conflicts epitomize commonly held understandings of Indian-white relations in the region: a violent clash of cultures in which Indians valiantly, but unsuccessfully, fought against American expansion. Contradicting this binary, Iowa Indian leaders under- stood that their communities had potentially much to gain from aspects of white expansion. The primary purpose of this article is to look beyond circumscribed definitions of Indian-white relations and to illustrate how the Iowa used an assort- ment of political, economic, and social tactics to help shape their rapidly changing world. Confronting declining wildlife resources, the Iowa began reshaping their economies toward what they hoped would be a more stable agricultural future while initiating diplomatic relations with American agents to help mitigate recur- ring and more immediate tensions with powerful Indian adversaries. In the summer of 1830, U.S. Treaty Commissioner William Clark called a council at Prairie du Chien on the Mississippi River with members of the Sac, Fox, Sioux, and Iowa tribes in order to clarify boundaries between these rival Indian groups. Clark wanted to make the region between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers more attractive to Euro-American settlers, and he hoped that defining the Indians’ territorial boundaries would quell the intratribal warfare that had marked the previous decade.
