  • Outline of United States Federal Indian Law and Policy
    Outline of United States federal Indian law and policy The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to United States federal Indian law and policy: Federal Indian policy – establishes the relationship between the United States Government and the Indian Tribes within its borders. The Constitution gives the federal government primary responsibility for dealing with tribes. Law and U.S. public policy related to Native Americans have evolved continuously since the founding of the United States. David R. Wrone argues that the failure of the treaty system was because of the inability of an individualistic, democratic society to recognize group rights or the value of an organic, corporatist culture represented by the tribes.[1] U.S. Supreme Court cases List of United States Supreme Court cases involving Indian tribes Citizenship Adoption Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians v.

  • Slaves and Slaveholders in the Choctaw Nation: 1830-1866
    SLAVES AND SLAVEHOLDERS IN THE CHOCTAW NATION: 1830-1866 Jeffrey L. Fortney , Jr., B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2009 APPROVED: D. Harland Haglen, Major Professor Randolph Campbell, Committee Member F. Todd Smith, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Michael Monticino, Interim Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Fortney Jr., Jeffrey L. Slaves and Slaveholders in the Choctaw Nation: 1830-1866. Master of Arts (History), May 2009, 71 pp., 5 tables, 4 figures, bibliography, 46 titles. Racial slavery was a critical element in the cultural development of the Choctaws and was a derivative of the peculiar institution in southern states. The idea of genial and hospitable slave owners can no more be conclusively demonstrated for the Choctaws than for the antebellum South. The participation of Choctaws in the Civil War and formal alliance with the Confederacy was dominantly influenced by the slaveholding and a connection with southern identity, but was also influenced by financial concerns and an inability to remain neutral than a protection of the peculiar institution. Had the Civil War not taken place, the rate of Choctaw slave ownership possibly would have reached the level of southern states and the Choctaws would be considered part of the South.

Therefore, in order to perform a simple search of the GENERAL records of Arkansas’ Native People in the National Archives Online Catalog it is best to focus on National Park Service historic place applications, Osage and Quapaw records before 1824, and records of the Five Civilized Tribes as they traveled across Arkansas. Use the following search terms: Removal (Advanced Search, using Record Group 75) and “Arkansas Indian” (include quotation marks). The much broader search, Arkansas Indian, will have to be narrowed further by date range and document type. There are several great resources available for general information and material for kids about the Native People of Arkansas, such as the Native Languages and National Museum of the American Indian websites.
