(Ph.D., History) The Emigrant Métis of Kansas: Rethinking the Pioneer Narrative Dissertation directed by Associate Professor Ralph Mann Under the U.S. government’s nineteenth century Indian removal policies, more than ten thousand Eastern Indians, mostly Algonquians from the Great Lakes region, relocated in the 1830s and 1840s beyond the western border of Missouri to what today is the state of Kansas. With them went a number of mixed-race people – the métis, who were born of the fur trade and the interracial unions that it spawned. This dissertation focuses on métis among one emigrant group, the Potawatomi, who removed to a reservation in Kansas that sat directly in the path of the great overland migration to Oregon and California.

American Indians in Oklahoma OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
American Indians in Oklahoma OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Nawa! That means hello in the Pawnee language. In Oklahoma, thirty-eight federally recognized tribes represent about 8 percent of the population. Most of these tribes came from places around the country but were removed from their homelands to Oklahoma in the nineteenth century. Their diverse cultures and rich heritage make Oklahoma (which combines the Choctaw words “okla” and “huma,” or “territory of the red people”) a special state. American Indians have impacted Oklahoma’s growth from territory to statehood and have made it into the great state it is today. This site allows you to learn more about American Indian tribes in Oklahoma. First, read the background pages for more information, then go through the biographies of influential American Indians to learn more about him or her. The activities section has coloring sheets, games, and other activities, which can be done as part of a group or on your own. Map of Indian Territory prior to 1889 (ITMAP.0035, Oklahoma Historical Society Map Collection, OHS). American Indians │2016 │1 Before European Contact The first people living on the prairie were the ancestors of various American Indian tribes. Through archaeology, we know that the plains have been inhabited for centuries by groups of people who lived in semi-permanent villages and depended on planting crops and hunting animals. Many of the ideas we associate with American Indians, such as the travois, various ceremonies, tipis, earth lodges, and controlled bison hunts, come from these first prairie people. Through archaeology, we know that the ancestors of the Wichita and Caddo tribes have been in present-day Oklahoma for more than two thousand years.

The Native American Rights Fund Statement on Environmental Sustainability “It is clear that our natural world is undergoing severe, unsustainable and catastrophic climate change that adversely impacts the lives of people and ecosystems worldwide. Native Americans are especially vulnerable and are experiencing disproportionate negative impacts on their cultures, health and food systems. In response, the Native American Rights Fund (NARF) is committed to environmental sustainability through its mission, work and organizational values. Native Americans and other indigenous peoples have a long tradition of living sustainably with the natural world by understanding the importance of preserving natural resources and respecting the interdependence of all living things. NARF embraces this tradition through its work and by instituting sustainable office practices that reduce our negative impact on our climate and environment. NARF is engaged in environmental work and has established a Green Office Committee whose responsibility is to lead and coordinate staff participa- tion in establishing and implementing policies and procedures to mini- mize waste, reduce energy consumption and pollution and create a health- ful work environment.” Tax Status: The Native American Rights Fund (NARF) is a nonprofit, char- itable organization incorporated in 1971 under the laws of the District of Columbia.

NARF Legal Review Vol41no.2
NATIVE AMERICAN RIGHTS FUND Land into Trust Litigation Ends Historic Victory for Alaska Tribes On August 15, 2016, Alaska Attorney General Jahna Lindemuth announced that the State of Alaska will not pursue further litigation in Alaska Native Community v. U.S. Secretary of the Interior. That case affirmed the ability of the Secretary of Interior to take land into trust on behalf of Alaska tribes and Alaska Natives, and also acknowledged the rights of Alaska tribes to be treated the same as all other federally recognized Tribes. The State’s decision to not seek Supreme Court review ends years of protracted litigation and ushers in a new era for Alaska tribes. “Trust land” refers to land held by the United States in trust for the benefit and use of an Indian tribe or individual. It contrasts with “fee land” or land held in “fee simple” which is the most common type of land ownership.

This booklet is an excellent resource for details on the best places to fish in Illinois, along with the rules and regulations in place for the 2021 season. During the last year, as we all dealt with the many challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, we saw an increase in interest in spending time outdoors in Illinois, including new and renewed interest in fishing. Our Division of Fisheries staff prepared this 2021 Illinois Fishing Information guide to provide an updated summary of statewide fishing regulations, as well as details on important site-specific regulations organized by the body of water or water area at which those regulations apply. On occasion, some site-specific regulations may be changed in emergency situations through the administrative rule process. In those cases, the changes are posted at the location where the rules apply, and online at www.ifishillinois.org. A reminder that the 2021 Illinois Free Fishing Days will be Friday, June 18 through Monday, June 21 – Father’s Day weekend – providing families and individuals a chance to go fishing even if they have not yet purchased an Illinois fishing license. The purchases of fishing licenses and equipment help fund our fisheries programs and ensure the future of fishing in Illinois.
