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. -

The Chickasaw Nation: Energy Efficiency Through Lighting
The Chickasaw Nation Energy Efficiency through Lighting Upgrades Final Report 2-26-2013 Table of Contents Executive Summary…………………………………………………………………. 3 Project Overview……………………………………………………………………...4 Objectives……………………………………………………………………………...5 Description of Activities Performed………………………………………………..7 Conclusions and Recommendations……………………………………………….9 Lessons Learned……………………………………………………………………...11 Executive Summary A cumulative energy reduction of more than 30% was achieved by upgrading lighting fixtures, ballast and bulbs in the businesses operated by the Chickasaw Nation. 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. -
