GRAY 1912-1992 WflN JUDGE WILLIAM P. GRAY died recently, his loss was felt by the entire legal community-lawyers, jurists, and legal historians alike-for he was admired and respected by us all. For good reason. Judge Gray embodied the qualities that lawyers think judges should have. He was a person with principles, as well as patience; a person with convictions, as well as compassion; a person who believed in the law, as well as in fairness; a person who adminis- tered justice, but never lost his respect for human dignity. Just as his earlier years on the bench and in public service exemplified these qualities, so did his years as senior judge. For example, after he gained senior status, he gave up his courtroom to a junior judge, but he continued to take cases. He was a founding member of this Society and its first president, and his active support was critical to its early success. He became a counselor to high-school students in Pasadena. Even after he was diagnosed as having brain cancer, he began taking piano lessons. Throughout his life, he remained as interested, as interesting, and as thoughtful as ever. And he died as he as he had lived, with great dignity. Christine Swent Byrd, board member Ninth Judicial Circuit Historical Society Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock: IMPLICATIONS FOR FEDERAL INDIAN LAW AT THE START OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY By C. BLUE CLARK anuary 5, 1903, has been called "one of the blackest days in the history of the American Indian."' The United States Supreme Court's decision announced on that day in Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock climaxed a century-long assault upon Native Americans that increasingly confined and restricted tribal members' rights to their cultural and legal separatism and to their lands.2 The opinion had implications not only for the Kiowa Indians who had gone to court to halt allot- ment in severalty of their reservation lands, but also for federal- Indian legal relations, for native treaty rights and sovereignty, and for official policy toward the American Indians. One recent jurist has termed the case "the Indians' Dred Scott decision."3 The terms of the 1867 Treaty of Medicine Lodge had begun allotting lands to individual Kiowa, Comanche, and Plains Apache Indians, although only limitedly at first.4 Tribespeople continued to hold unallotted lands in common.

Numbers li^sS I am boundfor the promised land, I am boundfor the promised land; 0 who will come and go with me? 1 am bound for the promised land. Samuel Stennett, old gospel song Our lot is cast in a goodly land and there is no land fairer than the Land of the Pair God. Milton W, Reynolds, early Oklahoma pioneer ill PREFACE In December, 1892, the editor of the Oklahoma School Herald urged fellow Oklahomans to keep accurate records for the benefit of posterity* "There is a time coming, if the facts can be preserved," he noted, "when the pen of genius and eloquence will take hold of the various incidents con­ nected with the settlement of what will then be the magnifi» cent state of Oklahoma and weave them into a story that will verify the proverb that truth is more wonderful than fic­ tion." While making no claim to genius or eloquence, I have attempted to fulfill the editor's dream by treating the Anglo-American settlement of Oklahoma Territory from 1889 to statehood in 1907» with emphasis upon social and cultural developments* It has been my purpose not only to describe everyday life but to show the role of churches, schools, and newspapers, as well as the rise of the medical and legal professions* My treatment of these salient aspects does not profess to tell the complete story of life in Oklahoma.

  • The Osage Nation, the Midnight Rider, and the EPA
    CLEAN MY LAND: AMERICAN INDIANS, TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY, AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY by RAYMOND ANTHONY NOLAN B.A., University of Redlands, 1998 M.A., St. Mary’s College of California, 2001 M.A., Fort Hays State University, 2007 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2015 Abstract This dissertation is a case study of the Isleta Pueblos of central New Mexico, the Quapaw tribe of northeast Oklahoma, and the Osage Nation of northcentral Oklahoma, and their relationship with the federal government, and specifically the Environmental Protection Agency. As one of the youngest federal agencies, operating during the Self-Determination Era, it seems the EPA would be open to new approaches in federal Indian policy. In reality, the EPA has not reacted much differently than any other historical agency of the federal government. The EPA has rarely recognized the ability of Indians to take care of their own environmental problems. The EPA’s unwillingness to recognize tribal sovereignty was no where clearer than in 2005, when Republican Senator James Inhof of Oklahoma added a rider to his transportation bill that made it illegal in Oklahoma for tribes to gain primary control over their environmental protection programs without first negotiating with, and gaining permission of, the state government of Oklahoma. The rider was an erosion of the federal trust relationship with American Indian tribes (as tribes do not need to heed state laws over federal laws) and an attack on native ability to judge tribal affairs.

TilE VIETNAM WAR ON TRIAL: TilE COURT-MARTIAL OF DR. HOWARD B. LEVY ROBERT N. STRASSFELD• This Article examines the history of a Vietnam War-era case: the court-martial of Dr. Howard B. Levy. The U.S. Army court-martialled Dr. Levy for refusing to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers and for criticizing both the Green Berets and American involvement in Vietnam. Although the Supreme Court eventually upheld Levy's convicti on in Parkerv. Levy, ill decision obscures the political content of Levy's court-martial and its relationshipto the war. At the court-martialLe vy sought to defend himself by showing that his disparaging remarks about the Green Berets, identifying them as "killers of peasants and murderers of women and children," were true and that his refusal to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers was dictated by medical ethics, given the ways in which the soldiers would misuse their medical knowledge.

Spaniards led by Coronado traversed what is now the State of Oklahoma 67 years before the first English settlement in Virginia and 79 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. All of the land now in Oklahoma except a little strip known as the panhandle was acquired by the United States from France in the Louisiana Purchase. Early in the nineteenth century the United States moved the five civilized tribes, the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Seminoles, from southeastern states to lands west of the Mississippi River, the title to which was transferred to the tribes in exchange for part of their lands in the East.

Cameras in the Courtroom: Guidelines for State Criminal Trials In 1965, only two states permitted photographic and electronic media coverage1 of courtroom proceedings.2 Today, forty-three states permit television coverage of their appellate and/or trial proceedings on an experimental or permanent basis. 3 This development has not come about in a systematic or uniform fashion. Lacking guidance from the federal courts, the states have independently conducted ex­ periments and adopted their own guidelines in an attempt to accom­ modate the conflicting constitutional4 and policy interests5 involved. The development of state guidelines6 has stemmed largely from the belief that media self-discipline is insufficient to ensure fair treatment 1. The phrase "photographic and electronic media coverage," referred to herein as "televis­ ing" or "broadcasting," includes both the acquisition of information (through devices such as still news photography, audio taping, motion picture filming and videotaping), and the public dissemination and broadcast of that information.

  • Trial Court Consolidation in Hawaii: the Road Already Taken?
    Trial Court Consolidation in Hawaii: The Road Already Taken? Susan Ekimoto Jaworowski Researcher Report No. 4. 1991 Legislative Reference Bureau State Capitol Honoiulu, Hawaii 96813 FOREWORD This study was prepared in response to House Resolution No. 68, adopted during the Regular Session of 1991. The Resolution requested an examination of the feasibility of consolidating Hawaii's two tier trial court system into one tier. The Resolution also requested information concerning the history and rationale behind establishing the two tier system, an evaluation of the currert trial court system and judicial administration, the rationale behind the differing job requirements and qualifications for judges in the two tiers, and the feasibility of establishing the same requirements for all trial level judges. The assistance of Bureau researcher Charlotte Carter-Yamauchi was a significant factor in the timely completion of this study. Ms. Carter-Yamauchi interviewed many of the circuit court judges and provided invaluable input into several areas, including the structure of the district court questionnaire. The Bureau extends its appreciation to ail who cooperated with and participated in this study, particularly Chief Justice Herman Lum; Dr. Irwin Tanaka, Administrative Director of the Courts; and C. Michael Hare, Chairman of the Judicial Selection Commission. It is hoped that the issues raised by the study will assist the Legislature and the Judiciary in making further incruiries and decisions on this matter. Samuel €3. K.
