Black, Committee Member Department of Alaska Native Studies and Rural Development, UAF Dr. Panigkaq Agatha John-Shields, Committee Member School of Education, UAA Patricia S. Sekaquaptewa, JD, Co-Chair Department of Alaska Native Studies & Rural Development (DANSRD) Abstract In the late 1800’s, the Evangelical Covenant Church established a mission in Ugalaqliq (Unalakleet), a predominantly Inupiaq community along the Norton Sound in Western Alaska. Missionaries were integral in establishing a localized education system under the direction of the General Agent of Education, Sheldon Jackson, in the early 1900’s. By 1915, the community was no longer engaging in ancestral practices such as deliberating, teaching and hosting ceremonies within the qargi. Nor were they uplifting shared history and relationships between villages or expressing gratitude for the bounty of the lands through traditional songs, dances, or celebrations such as theKivgiq Messenger Feast. In my research, I focus on events that occurred in Ugalaqliq around the turn of the 20th century and analyze how those events influenced the formation of the education system and its ongoing impacts on Native peoples and communities today.

  • Northwest Ordinance 1797- Above the Ohio River: OH, IN, IL, MI, WI
    F304 Building America: The Pursuit of Land from 1607-1893 Class Notes 3 for: F304 Building America Northwest Territory- Northwest Ordinance 1797- Above the Ohio River: OH, IN, IL, MI, WI. Slavery was prohibited. It was considered to be one of the most important legislative acts of the Confederation Congress, it established the precedent by which the Federal government would be sovereign and expand westward with the admission of new states, rather than with the expansion of existing states and their established sovereignty under the Articles of Confederation. It was also precedent setting legislation with regard to American public domain lands. The U.S. Supreme Court recognized the authority of the Northwest Ordinance of 1789 within the applicable Northwest Territory as constitutional in Strader v. Graham, 51 U.S. 82, 96, 97 (1851), but did not extend the Ordinance to cover the respective states once they were admitted to the Union. The 1784 ordinance was criticized by George Washington in 1785 and James Monroe in 1786. Monroe convinced Congress to reconsider the proposed state boundaries; a review committee recommended repealing that part of the ordinance. Other politicians questioned the 1784 ordinance's plan for organizing governments in new states, and worried that the new states' relatively small sizes would undermine the original states' power in Congress. Other events such as the reluctance of states south of the Ohio River to cede their western claims resulted in a narrowed geographic focus. Territory: Kentucky- ceded from Virginia. Kentucky 1774-1810: Before 1775, the territory of Kentucky (and OH, IL, IN, MI, and WI) were all part of the colony of Virginia.

My first year in office was very active with travelling to Maine and Delaware in 2018. In 2019 I traveled to Alaska, California, Connecticut, Indiana, Pennsyl- vania, and Maryland. I also attended Red Men’s Day at Arlington in 2019 for the laying of the wreath ceremony. My national project at Valley Forge is going well. Thank you, Brothers and Sisters, for all your help. I would like to thank all my Deputy Great Incohonees for a job well done. We had a few problems, and some have been corrected. The rest are a work in progress. The year of 2020, as we all know, made it impossible to travel and meet with the tribes and councils. The Board of Great Chiefs was in contact with each other and did what we could under those trying circumstances. In September 2020 I attended the Finance Committee Audit in Waco, TX and also met with Brother Harrison and Joseph Winslow, GKW GCUS concerning the lease for the Great Council office. We signed a one-year lease and will be meeting again to renegotiate our lease terms. Due to the resignation of Brother Brad Buchanan as Great Chief of Records, GCUS, I appointed PGS William Willey to fill his post until our next Great Council of the United States national session.
