Cover illustration: DANCE OF THE DOG SOLDIER SOCIETIES, by Dick West. Courtesy Philbrook Art Center. Dedicated to the memory of Willard W. Beatty, Director of Indian Education for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, from 1937 to 1951. • • FOREWORD TO THE 1954 EDITION • • For a number of years the Bureau of Indian Affairs has sponsored the recording of typical Indian music throughout the United States. During this time approximately a thousand Indian songs have been recorded by Mr. Willard Rhodes, professor of music at Columbia Univer­ sity. The study originated in an effort to deter­ mine the extent to which new musical themes were continuing to develop. Studies have shown that in areas of Indian concentration, especially in the Southwest, the old ceremonial songs are still used in the traditional fashion. In the Indian areas where assimilation has been greater, Indian­ type music is still exceedingly popular. There is considerable creative activity in the development of new secular songs which are used for social gatherings. These songs pass from reservation to reservation with slight change. While the preservation of Indian music through recordings contributes only a small part to the total understanding of American Indians, it is nevertheless an important key to this understand­ ing.

"('.-'.., . .:...--"; Reprinted from Oklahoma GeologyNotes,v. 56, no. 3 (June 1996), p.88-105 OldahomaGeological• Survey Norman, Oklahoma GEOLOGY OF RED ROCK CANYON STATE PARK Neil H. Suneson' and Kenneth S. Iohnson: Location and Topography Red Rock Canyon State Park (cover photograph) is located along U.S. Highway 281 just south of Hinton, in northeastern Caddo County, Oklahoma (Fig. 1). The park is dissected by a south-flowing tributary of Sugar Creek, which in turn flows south-southeast into the Washita River. The elevation ofthe highest point in the park is about 1,650 feet above sea level; that ofthe lowest point is about 1,450 feet above sea level. Red Rock Canyon itself is about 150 feet deep; locally, the vertical canyon walls and overhanging cliffs are as much as 60 feet high, but generally they are about 45 to 50 feet high. Red Rock Canyon is only one of several beautiful canyons in northeastern Caddo County and extreme southwestern Canadian County. Some of the streams that have formed these canyons drain south into the Washita River, or into Sugar Creek, which also drains into the Washita; others drain northeast into the Canadian River. Bedrock Geology of the Park Red Rock Canyon is a beautiful canyon that has eroded into sandstone that is part of the Rush Springs Sandstone formation of Late Permian age (Fig.2). The Late Permian extended from about 270 to 250 Ma (million years ago). (For definitions of geologic terms and names, see the Glossary, based in part on Bates and Jackson, 1987.) Most of the surface rocks in this part of Oklahoma are Permian; in general, if the rocks (and soil that has developed on the rocks) are red, they're Permian.

  • WASHITA BATTLEFIELD the National Survey of Historic Sites and Buildings
    WASHITA BATTLEFIELD The National Survey of Historic Sites and Buildings • Special Report on WASHITA BATTLEFIELD, OKLAHOMA William E. Brown Historian July 196R UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Southwest Region Santa Fe, New Mexico PREFACE On January 30, 1964, Mrs. Bess Thornton, President of the Elk City Chamber of Commerce and the Western Oklahoma Industrial and Recreation Association, proposed to Secretary Udall that the site of the Battle of the Washita near Cheyenne, Oklahoma, be established as a unit of the National Park System. On February 17 a delegation of 17 proponents met personally with the Secretary at Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and were assured that a reevaluation of the site would be made by the National Park Service. Subsequently, all 8 members of the Oklahoma congressional delegation endorsed the park proposal and requested that the Service study it. As a result of these meetings and communications, Regional Historian Robert M. TJtley met in Elk City on April 25 with Congressman Victor Wickersham and a sizable delegation of western Oklahoma political and business leaders headed by Mrs. Thornton. The day's program included an onsite inspection of the battlefield led by Cheyenne Attorney Harry C. Chapman, an able local historian. Following Mr. Utley's visit, I was assigned to prepare a special report on the Battle of the Washita, con­ centrating on its historical significance. In preparation for this work, I visited the site on May 31 and was fortunate to have Mr. Chapman's guidance in tracing the events that occurred on the battle­ field.

    IN JUSTICE TO OUR INDIAN ALLIES: THE GOVERNMENT OF TEXAS AND HER INDIAN ALLIES, 1836-1867 William C. Yancey, B.A., M.S. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2008 APPROVED: Richard B. McCaslin, Major Professor Richard G. Lowe, Committee Member F. Todd Smith, Committee Member Adrian R. Lewis, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Yancey, William C., In justice to our Indian allies: The government of Texas and her Indian allies, 1836 - 1867. Master of Arts (History), August 2008, 151 pp., 1 map, references, 65 titles. Traditional histories of the Texas frontier overlook a crucial component: efforts to defend Texas against Indians would have been far less successful without the contributions of Indian allies. The government of Texas tended to use smaller, nomadic bands such as the Lipan Apaches and Tonkawas as military allies. Immigrant Indian tribes such as the Shawnee and Delaware were employed primarily as scouts and interpreters. Texas, as a result of the terms of her annexation, retained a more control over Indian policy than other states. Texas also had a larger unsettled frontier region than other states. This necessitated the use of Indian allies in fighting and negotiating with hostile Indians, as well as scouting for Ranger and Army expeditions. Copyright 2008 by William C.
