Swetland Center for Great Plains Studies and Department ofAnthropology University ofNebraska-Lincoln Lincoln, NE 68588-0317 Abstract. The (Dawes) General Allotment Act of1887 was meant to fulfill the United States Government policy ofallotting individual parcels of Indian reservation lands in an effort to break up communal societies,Jorcing tribes to move towards the white man's ideal of civilized culture. Three decades earlier, Article 6 ofthe Treaty of1854 allowed for the survey and allotting of the Omaha's northeastern Nebraska reservation, placing the Omaha Nation at the leading edge offederal policy a generation before the Dawes Act.

  • Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska
    Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska P.L. 102-477 Annual Report FY 2017 Description of Achievement One of our biggest achievements this year was the restructuring of our program and how we operate and provide services to our clients. We added new positions, such as a services specialist and a GED instructor, which were both extremely instrumental in providing services to our clients. For our clients to be successful in their case plans and achieve self-sufficiency, it is important that we can provide one on one services to them through our GED and job preparation classes. Each client can work one on one with these staff members. We are also able to provide GED classes after hours and transportation with the purchase of a new passenger van. Although this restructuring is new to our program, we are confident that it will provide better outcomes for our clients and our program. We completely revamped our plan through a new 3-year agreement and changed the services that we provide to allow for a better chance of success with our clients. We are currently working on providing a space for childcare, which is in planning phases right now. Our Sioux City office has moved to a bigger space and expanded to three staff instead ofjust one, which has been beneficial for our clients that we serve in those counties. It has been an interesting process to incorporate all our programs into one program with multiple services. It is a different mindset but a better way to open the door for all the services that we can provide to our clients.
