  • Outline of United States Federal Indian Law and Policy
    Outline of United States federal Indian law and policy The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to United States federal Indian law and policy: Federal Indian policy – establishes the relationship between the United States Government and the Indian Tribes within its borders. The Constitution gives the federal government primary responsibility for dealing with tribes. Law and U.S. public policy related to Native Americans have evolved continuously since the founding of the United States. David R. Wrone argues that the failure of the treaty system was because of the inability of an individualistic, democratic society to recognize group rights or the value of an organic, corporatist culture represented by the tribes.[1] U.S. Supreme Court cases List of United States Supreme Court cases involving Indian tribes Citizenship Adoption Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians v.

How to Buy a Continent: The Protocols of Indian Treaties as Developed by Benjamin Franklin and Other Members of the American Philosophical Society Abstract In 1743, when Benjamin Franklin announced the formation of an American Philosophical Society for the Promotion of Useful Knowledge, it was important for the citizens of Pennsylvania to know more about their American Indian neighbors. Beyond a slice of land around Philadelphia, three quarters of the province were still occupied by the Delaware and several other Indian tribes, loosely gathered under the wing of an Indian confederacy known as the Six Nations. Relations with the Six Nations and their allies were being peacefully conducted in a series of so-called “Indian Treaties” that dealt with the fur trade, threats of war with France, settlement of grievances, and the purchase of land.

  • "Make Your Minds Perfectly Easy": Sagoyewatha and the Great Law of the Handenosaunee
    granville ganter St. JohnsUniversity "MakeYour Minds PerfectlyEasy5 Of all the Native orators of the early nineteenth century, Sago or was one yewatha (pronounced Shay-g?-ye-w?tha Sa-go-ye-wat-ha) of themost famous inAngloamerica. Better known as Red Jacket,for the red as a runner coat given to him by the British for his services message in the on Revolution, Sagoyewathas defiant opposition to missionary presence Seneca reservations and his resistance to land sales earned him the title the "last of the Senecas" in his obituary in theNiles Weekly Register (13 Febru ary 1830: 411). His speeches appeared in broadsides, pamphlets, and even in schoolbooks during the early national period (Densmore 69). Although these records are subject to a variety of editing and transcription problems, a large number were translated by experienced interpreters, and many evoke the figurative language and irony forwhich Sagoyewatha became known (Taylor 23).1And in contrast tomany eighteenth- and nineteenth century publications where Natives took no part in the print circulation of theirwords, toward the end of his career, Sagoyewatha had his speeches as a published in newspapers and handbills part of deliberate publicity to campaign that the Senecas undertook after theWar of 1812 protect their lands. Given that the Senecas often intended to enter the Euroamerican sphere of printed discourse after the Revolution, this essay interprets the archive of Red Jacket speeches (as well as those of a few other politically active an Senecas of the early national period) from Indigenous cultural frame work. It foregrounds Seneca traditions and thoughtways that have received over two only token acknowledgment from literary scholars the past hun dred years, drawing on historical and anthropological work (both Native and non-Native authored) thathas not yetmoved significantly into English literature studies.

  • Mary Jemison (Dehgewanus), White Seneca Adoptee in New York
    MAKING THE REVOLUTION: AMERICA, 1763-1791 PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION “a large and powerful army of the rebels . was making rapid progress towards our settlement” The Revolutionary War experiences of Mary Jemison, (Dehgewanus), an Indian captive adopted by the Seneca * A Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison, 1824___SELECTIONS The teenaged daughter of Scotch-Irish immigrants in Pennsylvania, Mary Jemison was captured in 1758 by French soldiers and Shawnee Indians raiding her family’s farm in Pennsylvania during the French and Indian War. With the sure knowledge that her parents and siblings had been killed, she feared for her life but was traded to two Seneca women as a replacement for their brother recently killed in battle. Soon given in marriage to a Delaware Indian, she settled in Seneca territory in western New York and lived there for the rest of her life. As an aging widow in 1823, she related her life experiences to a local physician who published her memoir the next year. Deemed accurate by historians, A Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison became one of the most widely read and reprinted captivity narratives in American history. At the outset of the Revolutionary War, Jemison was a wife and mother in her thirties, living in the Seneca village of Little Beard’s Town in western New York. (see maps, pp. 2-3). The war came directly to her village with the Sullivan Campaign of 1779, ordered by Gen. Washington to eradicate Iroquois support for the British by destroying the Indian villages and farmland of the region.

Seneca Nation of Indians v. Christy: A Background Study LAURENCE M. HAUPTMANt The decision is one of local, state, and national importance alike... If the claim of the plaintiffs had been substantiated, it would have not only challenged the title of every purchaser and holder of land included in the Ogden Land Company's purchase of August 31, 1826, but also the title to many millions of acres2 of lands in the state held under similar treaties with the Indians. INTRODUCTION On January 21, 1974, the United States Supreme Court overturned one hundred forty-three years of American law. Oneida Indian Nation of New York State v. County of Oneida allowed this Indian nation access to federal courts in the pursuit of its land claims.3 This landmark decision held the federal Trade and Intercourse Acts (Non- Intercourse Acts) applicable to the original thirteen states, thereby providing access of the federal courts to the Oneidas as well as to other Indians seeking their land returned to them.

  • The Historical Archaeology of Ohagi and the Post-Revolutionary Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Ca
    CROWDING THE BANKS: THE HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF OHAGI AND THE POST-REVOLUTIONARY HAUDENOSAUNEE CONFEDERACY, CA. 1780-1826 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Beth Ryan January 2017 © 2017 Beth Ryan CROWDING THE BANKS: THE HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF OHAGI AND THE POST-REVOLUTIONARY HAUDENOSAUNEE CONFEDERACY, CA. 1780-1826. Beth Ryan, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 This dissertation examines the settlement pattern, housing styles, subsistence practices, and trade relationships of Haudenosaunee communities in New York State and Ontario in the post-Revolutionary era (1783-1826). Historical and ethnohistorical literature has described the period as one of despair, cultural loss, factionalism, and dependency among the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the communities have been labeled as “slums in the wilderness,” confined on small tracts of land and isolated from one another. My excavation at Ohagi, a Tuscarora village in Seneca territory in the Genesee River Valley (ca. 1780-1792), in combination with previously unanalyzed museum collections and a reevaluation of county histories and primary source documents, reveals that the Haudenosaunee communities in post-Revolutionary New York and Ontario built villages in a network of settlement complexes, encircling an area of rich natural resources and facilitating movement between communities and nations. The evidence reveals that housing styles did not immediately shift to European-style log cabins, as often assumed, and the shift to smaller houses did not necessarily accompany a change in matrilineal family structure and relationships. This dissertation employs recent literature on Settler Colonialism to critique both the exiting interpretations of the post-Revolutionary era as well as the practice of archaeological excavation of Native sites.
