  • Tribal Relations and Consultation at Txdot
    Tribal Relations and Consultation at TxDOT Draft Strategic Plan 2016 Archeological Studies Branch, Cultural Resources Management (CRM) Section, Environmental Affairs Division (ENV) Vision for Tribal Relations and Consultation at TxDOT The Texas Department of Transportation is a best-in-class agency that goes above and beyond the spirit of consultation to work collaboratively with federally recognized Native American tribes toward mutually beneficial outcomes during all levels of the transportation process. Mission of the Tribal Relations and Consultation Program: Build relationships and purposefully collaborate with tribal nations in the planning and implementation of TxDOT projects and programs. In working with tribal nations, TxDOT: . Recognizes the inherent sovereign status and reserved rights of tribes; . Practices and promotes cultural sensitivity when working with tribes; . Honors the spirit of various federal requirements and orders to consult with tribes; . Aims to go above and beyond current practices to foster trust and productivity; . Commits to providing meaningful and substantive consultation with tribes on transportation projects; and . Promotes collaborative consultation opportunities during planning and review processes within TXDOT. 2 Draft Tribal Relations and Consultation Strategic Plan 2016 Foreword Texas’ long and rich cultural history is rooted in the indigenous people who once inhabited the land. Tribal nations continue to have an inherent interest in the state’s natural and cultural resources. Today, the federal government recognizes tribes’ inherent sovereign status, a unique relationship that is embodied in the U.S. Constitution, treaties, court decisions, federal statutes and executive orders. As TxDOT builds a safe and reliable transportation system, the agency (on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration) consults with tribes on statewide transportation plans and projects with federal funding.

  • Wildlife Habitat in Oklahoma Territory and the Chickasaw Nation, Circa 1870
    W 2800.7 F293 no. T-17-P-1 6/04-12/07 c.1 FINAL PERFORMA1~CEREPORT OKL.AHOMA o "7JLDLIFE HABITAT IN OKLAHOMA TERRITORY AND THE CmCKASAW NATION, CIRCA 1870 . OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION June 1, 2004 through December 31,2007 Grant Tide: Wildlife Habitat in Oklahoma Territory and the Chickasaw Nation, circa 1870 Principal Investiga!or: Bruce Hoagland . '. Abstract: Habitat loss is the greatest threat facing wildlife species. This project created a land cover map of Oklahoma using General Land Office plats circa 1871. Such maps provide both a snapshot of past habitat conditions and a baseline for comparison with the modern distribution of wildlife habitat. General Land Office plats were acquired from the Archives Division of the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, georeferenced and digitized. Plat features were categorized as hydrology, transportation, land cover, or settlement. Each of these categories were further subdivided. For example, land cover consisted of natural (i.e., grassland, forests, etc.) and agricultural (cultivated lands, orchards, etc.). A total of 1,348 plats were digitized and joined into a comprehensive map. Grassland (6.2 million hectares) was the most extensive land cover type, followed by forest-woodland (2.6 million hectares). A sawmill, two lime kilns, a sandstone quarry, and several stores are examples of settlement features encountered. Land in cultivation was 7,600 hectares, and several named ranches were present. Future studies should include comparisons between the 1870s map and modern data sources such as the Gap Analysis map in order to quantify habitat change. Introduction: Habitat loss is the greatest threat facing wildlife species.

  • Tonkawa Indians Before the Time of the Spanish Explorers, Native Americans Inhabited the Open Ranges and Woodlands of Texas
    Tonkawa Indians Before the time of the Spanish explorers, Native Americans inhabited the open ranges and woodlands of Texas. One group that made its mark in history is the Tonkawa Indians. These people were thought to have come to Texas as early as the seventeenth century. Tonkawa, a Waco Indian word, means, “they all stay together,” which eloquently describes this group of nomadic Indian tribes. There is scant archeological evidence of the Tonkawa people, and historians have several theories on the tribal structure and lifestyles of this group. Some believe the Tonkawa were actually a group of independent bands of Indians, which may have included the Sana, Toho, Tohaha, Cantona, and Cava Indians. In the early eighteenth century these bands of Indians were thought to have joined together to form Tonkawa Proper. There is some evidence that the Tonkawa actually came to Texas much earlier as one cohesive group of Tonkawa Indians that lived further north. These nomadic hunters lived in tepees made from buffalo hide, grass and other materials. Tepees allowed bands to easily pack their homes and move with the migrating herds of buffalo or to outrun their enemies. An elected tribal chief led each band of Tonkawa, and each band was composed of maternal clans. Unlike many societies that are patriarchal, the Tonkawa clan membership followed on the side of the mother. When a couple got married, the man would go live with his wife’s clan, and the children would become members of their mother’s clan as well. As a society that always stays together, the Tonkawa established a system that ensured all widows, widowers, and orphaned children were taken care of if their family members died.

  • Traditional Caddo Stories—7Th Grade
    Caddo Traditional Stories Personal Thoughts: My experience this past summer at the workshop and camping down the road at Mission Tejas State Park reinvigorated a personal connection to history. Most authors of history have been men. So, the word history, is simply restated as his story. The collection of oral stories was a tremendous task for early scholars. Winners of conflicts were often the ones to write down the tales of soldiers and politicians alike. Tales of everyday life were equally complex as the tales of battle. With Caddo stories, the main characters were often based on animals. So, a Caddo story can be a historical narrative featuring the environment, culture, and time period. The sounds of nighttime crawlers of the 21st century are the same sounds heard by the Caddo of Caddo Mounds State Historic Site. The nighttime sky above the forests of pine, pecan, and oak is the same as back then. The past is all around us, we just have to take it in. About This Lesson General Citation This lesson is based on the National Register of Historic Places registration files for Caddo Mounds State Historic Site (also known as the George C. Davis site) and materials prepared by the Texas Historical Commission. It was written by Kathy Lathen, a Texas educator with over a decade of classroom instructional experience. This lesson is one in a series that brings the important stories of historic places into classrooms across the country. Where is fits into Curriculum Topics and Time Period: This lesson could be incorporated with the Texas history unit on the historical era, Natural Texas and Its People (Prehistory to 1528).

  • “The Golden Days”: Taylor and Mary Ealy, Citizenship, and the Freedmen of Chickasaw Indian Territory, 1874–77
    THE CHRONICLES OF OKLAHOMA “The Golden Days”: Taylor and Mary Ealy, Citizenship, and the Freedmen of Chickasaw Indian Territory, 1874–77 By Ellen Cain* On a Monday morning in fall 1874, twenty-six-year- old Taylor Ealy felt despondent. He had recently completed an ambi- tious educational program that included college, seminary, and medi- cal school, yet he was confused about the direction of his future. He longed for the bold, adventurous life of a Presbyterian missionary, not the tame existence he now led as a Pennsylvania preacher. Ealy went to his room on that Monday morning, dropped to his knees, and prayed, “Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do—send me anywhere. Show me my work.” The answer came swiftly, the very same day, Ealy received a letter asking him to appear before the Northern Presbyterian Freed- men’s Bureau in Pittsburgh. When he arrived, the secretary of the bureau offered him a choice: to teach at a nearby theological seminary or at a government school for freedmen at Fort Arbuckle, Chickasaw Indian Territory (present-day south-central Oklahoma). Ealy knew immediately that he wanted the more challenging position in the West. 54 “THE GOLDEN DAYS” “I said I will take the harder field. I looked upon this as a direct answer to my prayer.”1 So it was that Taylor Ealy and his new bride, Mary Ramsey, set out for Indian Territory in October 1874. The Ealys carried with them a sincere and enthusiastic desire to aid the recently freed black slaves of the Chickasaw Nation. They labored in Indian Territory—a land of former Confederates—during the last years of Reconstruction.
