09 NIE Spring Lesson 1.Indd Native Views: Lesson 1 Tribes of Oklahoma any years before European colonists came to America, Native tribes lived and hunted freely in present-day Oklahoma. Each tribe had their own customs and ways of life. Eastern Oklahoma offered prime hunting and Mgathering lands for many tribes such as the Osage. As early as the 1600s, the Comanches, Kiowas and Pawnees camped along the rivers and streams of what is today known as western Oklahoma, while the tribes followed huge herds of buffalo. They were later joined by bands of Apache, Cheyenne and Arapaho. At the beginning of the 19th century, the federal government began moving tribes to smaller reservations in preparation for the Indian Removal, also called the Trail of Tears. Between 1820 and 1837, a total of 67 tribes were removed by the federal government. All of the tribes adapted to the new lands and created successful economies. Many maintained their rituals and ceremonies and also created new traditions as they settled in the area. Today, there are 39 tribes in Oklahoma, of which 37 are federally recognized. Of the tribes listed below, how many you can fi nd in the word search?

Also known as bison, the animal shaped T Native culture as tribes came to rely on buffalo for food, clothing, medicine, shelter and religious worship. Buffalo once dominated the landscape of the West, with estimates of tens to hundreds of millions roaming the prairies. Their meat and hides helped tribes across the Plains survive harsh winters, and every part of the animal was Photo: Jim Argo The Oklahoman put to use in daily life. Horns were used as cups and spoons, and even the tail was turned into a whip or a decoration for lodges. With European explorers came horses and modern technologies like guns and ammunition. Tribes used these to increase their hunting range and effectiveness. Soon, however, U.S. government offi cials saw the removal of bison herds as a way to defeat Native American tribes who resisted land allotment when waves of settlers moved West. By 1880, only a few thousand animals remained, and their numbers continued to dwindle. Through protection efforts, buffalo numbers have grown to 150,000 to 200,000 in North America. Today, numerous Oklahoma tribes have buffalo conservation programs, including the Cheyenne-Arapaho, Comanche, Iowa, Miami, Modoc, Seneca-Cayuga and the Shawnee. Activities: 1.) With herds of buffalos gone, many tribes had to turn to farming and ranching to survive. Name at least three differences between hunting and ranching. How do these differences relate to land? 2.) Buffalo remain a key part of Native American culture. Research an Oklahoma tribe and fi nd out how they are working to preserve buffalo. How does the buffalo fi t into tribal culture today?

Over 115,000 people participated, with some estimates ranging as high as 150,000. Settlers streamed into towns along the southern border of Kansas such as Arkansas City. The town of 7,000 grew to over 100,000 overnight with individuals preparing themselves for the run. TThe Land Run involved almost 7 million acres in the eastern part of the Cherokee Outlet. Through the Treaty of New Echota between the U. S. and the Cherokee in 1835, the tribe reserved the 228 mile by 65 mile “Outlet.” The area allowed the tribe to travel securely to hunting lands in the West, and they eventually used the Outlet for cattle grazing. The area is often incorrectly referred to as the “Cherokee Strip.” The Strip was the section stretching two miles in the Outlet’s northern portion in Kansas. 1 2 4 3 7 6 8 5 Activity: Indian Reservations created in the Cherokee Outlet 1.

Tribal lands were restricted mostly to the boundaries of what is now the state of Oklahoma. Room for many of the tribes who had been removed Bto Kansas between the 1830 and 1850s was being carved out of the remainder of Indian Territory. The Cherokee, most of whom supported the Confederacy during the Civil War, had to provide much of this land to other tribes. The push for a railroad across the continent came with the discovery of California gold in 1849 and the need to expand the cattle and mining industries. In 1852, there were only fi ve miles of railroad track west of the Mississippi River. By 1889, there were 72,000 miles.

  • Seal of the Cherokee Nation
    Chronicles of Ohhorna SEAL OF THE CHEROKEE NATION A reproduction in colors of the Seal of the Cherokee Nation appears on the front coyer of this summer number of The Chronicles, made from the original painting in the Museum of the Oklahoma Historical Society.' The official Cherokee Seal is centered by a large seven-pointed star surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, the border encircling this central device bearing the words "Seal of the Cherokee Nation" in English and seven characters of the Sequoyah alphabet which form two words in Cherokee. These seven charactem rspresenting syllables from Sequoyah's alphabet are phonetically pronounced in English ' ' Tw-la-gi-hi A-ye-li " and mean " Cherokee Nation" in the native language. At the lower part of the circular border is the date "Sept. 6, 1839," that of the adoption of the Constitution of the Cherokee Nation, West. Interpretation of the de~icein this seal is found in Cherokee folklore and history. Ritual songs in certain ancient tribal cere- monials and songs made reference to seven clans, the legendary beginnings of the Cherokee Nation whose country early in the historic period took in a wide area now included in the present eastern parts of Tennessee and Kentucky, the western parts of Virginia and the Carolinas, as well as extending over into what are now northern sections of Georgia and Alabama. A sacred fire was kept burning in the "Town House" at a central part of the old nation, logs of the live oak, a hardwood timber in the region, laid end to end to keep the fire going.

A Cherokee delegation requested the President divide the upper towns, whose people wanted to establish a regular government, from the lower towns who wanted to continue living traditionally. On January 9, 1809, the President of the United States allowed the lower towns to send an exploring party to find suitable lands on the Arkansas and White Rivers. Seven of the most trusted men explored locations both in what is now Western Arkansas and also Northeastern Oklahoma. The people of the lower towns desired to remove across the Mississippi to this area, onto vacant lands within the United States so that they might continue the traditional Cherokee life.

Ochsner Department of Architecture The Cherokee Nation was forcibly relocated from their ancestral homeland in the American southeast to Indian Territory (in what is now the State of Oklahoma) in 1839. This thesis discusses the architectural history of the administrative and institutional buildings constructed by the tribal government in the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory. This analysis covers the period between 1839 to 1907, encompassing the years between the establishment of the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory and the admittance of the state of Oklahoma to the Union. In this period, the Cherokee Nation engaged in a process of acculturation both socially and architecturally, selectively adapting building forms drawn from Euro-American cultural traditions. This thesis argues that the Cherokee Nation used Euro-American architectural styles to demonstrate the tribe’s ability to govern themselves according to the standards of the United States and, therefore, their right to retain political autonomy.

Most Cherokees were forced to move to Oklahoma in the 1800's along the Trail of Tears. Descendants of the Cherokee Indians who survived this death march still live in Oklahoma today. Some Cherokees escaped the Trail of Tears by hiding in the Appalachian hills or taking shelter with sympathetic white neighbors. The descendants of these people live scattered throughout the original Cherokee Indian homelands. After the Civil War more a new treaty allowed the government to dispose of land in the Cherokee Outlet. The settlement of several tribes in the eastern part of the Cherokee Outlet (including the Kaw, Osage, Pawnee, Ponca, and Tonkawa tribes) separated it from the Cherokee Nation proper and left them unable to use it for grazing or hunting.
