    ★ PART ONE ★ Former Women Members “I’m No Lady, I’m a Member of Congress” women pioneers on capitol hill, 1917–1934 Great triumphs and historic firsts highlight women’s initial foray into national political office. Four years after Jeannette Rankin was elected to the House of Representatives in 1916, women won the right to vote nationally, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Rebecca Felton of Georgia became the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate in 1922. That same year, Alice Robertson of Oklahoma became the first woman to preside over the House of Representatives. In 1923, Representative Mae Ella Nolan of California became the first woman to chair a congressional committee. Two other women followed her lead, including Mary Norton of New Jersey, the first woman elected from the East Coast, who would chair four House committees during her quarter-century career. In 1932, Hattie Caraway became the first woman elected to the Senate. Several other women attained prominent committee positions, including Representative Florence Prag Kahn of California, the first woman to serve on the powerful Appropriations Committee. Nevertheless, women were still a distinct minority of the 435 House Members; at their peak during this period, nine served in the 71st Congress (1929–1931). They lacked the power to focus congressional attention on the issues that were important to them. Jeannette Rankin of Montana, a suffragist and peace activist, was the first woman to serve in Congress. painting by sharon sprung, 2004, collection of the u.s. house of representatives Without seniority, and facing institutional prejudices, the early Congress- women viewed leadership positions as an elusive quest.

    The Road Not Taken: Discovering a World I Never Knew James G. McCullagh Abstract: The purpose of this paper is two-fold. The first discusses the life of an extraordinary social worker, Howard Chandler Walkingstick, who was a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. He worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs in primarily nine Western states serving numerous tribes for 30 years before retiring and receiving the Distinguished Service Award from the Secretary of the Interior, Stewart Udall. Afterwards, he worked for the State of Oklahoma for another ten years before retiring. He was a recipient of many awards, all in recognition of his many accomplishments on behalf of his work with Indians and non-Indians. The second purpose of this paper is a reflection on how my relationship with Howard for three years until his death impacted me personally and the direction of my professional career. Howard became a dear friend akin to a wise uncle, as he educated me about his life and family and his work. This, in turn, led the author to complete extensive research and publishing on various aspects of the Cherokee Nation. Keywords: American Indian, Cherokee Nation, Bureau of Indian Affairs.

REV. 223 (2020) Representation for Removal? The Cherokee’s Claim to a Congressional Delegate Assessed Under the Canons of Construction* The Treaty of New Echota is the pact between the Cherokee Nation and the United States which served as the legal basis for Cherokee removal via the infamous Trail of Tears. The Treaty of New Echota contains several promises made by the United States in exchange for the Cherokee ancestral land in North Carolina and several other southern states. One of these promises, found in Article 7, states that the Cherokee “shall be entitled to a delegate in the House of Representatives of the United States whenever Congress shall make provision for the same.” Article 7 has been the recent subject of controversy due to its textual ambiguity and historical implications of possible Native American representation at the federal level.
