Chapter 3 Arapaho Ethnohistory and Historical
Chapter 3 Arapaho Ethnohistory and Historical Ethnography ______________________________________________________ 3.1 Introduction The Arapaho believe they were the first people created on earth. The Arapaho called themselves, the Hinanae'inan, "Our Own Kind of People.”1 After their creation, Arapaho tradition places them at the earth's center. The belief in the centrality of their location is no accident. Sociologically, the Arapaho occupied the geographical center among the five ethnic distinct tribal-nations that existed prior to the direct European contact.2 3.2 Culture History and Territory Similar to many other societies, the ethnic formation of the Arapaho on the Great Plains into a tribal-nation was a complex sociological process. The original homeland for the tribe, according to evidence, was the region of the Red River and the Saskatchewan River in settled horticultural communities. From this original homeland various Arapaho divisions gradually migrated southwest, adapting to living on the Great Plains.3 One of the sacred objects, symbolic of their life as horticulturalists, that they carried with them onto the Northern Plains is a stone resembling an ear of corn. According to their oral traditions, the Arapaho were composed originally of five distinct tribes. 4 Arapaho elders remember the Black Hills country, and claim that they once owned that region, before moving south and west into the heart of the Great Plains. By the early nineteenth century, the Arapaho positioned themselves geographically from the two forks of the Cheyenne River, west of the Black Hills southward to the eastern front 87 of the central Rocky Mountains at the headwaters of the Arkansas River.5 By 1806 the Arapaho formed an alliance with the Cheyenne to resist against further intrusion west by the Sioux beyond the Missouri River. -

Otoe-Missouria Tribe Internet Commerce: Helping Our People
OTOE-MISSOURIA TRIBE INTERNET COMMERCE: HELPING OUR PEOPLE BACKGROUND The Otoe-Missouria Tribe is a Red Rock, Oklahoma-based Native American tribe with nearly 3,000 members. The Otoe-Missouria faces the unfortunate and all-too-common struggles plaguing Indian country today: staggering unemployment rates, limited opportunities, and lack of access to fundamental resources. In an increasingly competitive gaming environment, in which the Tribe has witnessed competitors open casinos in painful proximities, we continue to feel the seemingly insurmountable pressures of finding ways to relieve our gaming operations of the disproportionate burden of providing for our members. INTERNET COMMERCE INITIATIVES: PROVIDING FOR OUR PEOPLE In 2009, the Otoe-Missouria Tribe took a giant leap in developing economic opportunities for the Tribe and its members: establishing itself in the internet commerce arena. Internet commerce has been an invaluable vehicle for economic growth, tribal services, and tribal development. Internet commerce’s potential impact on tribal growth and opportunity is immeasurable. Its effects have already proven tremendously critical for tribal advancement and financial assistance: Budget: Accounts for 25% of Otoe-Missouria’s Non-federal Tribal budget; Employment: Created 65 jobs on Tribal land, including financial support staff, Head Start educators, and Tribal housing personnel; Infrastructure: Critical funding for new tribal housing and renovation; Education: Additional classrooms, books, and teachers for Head Start, New after-achool program, New Summer Youth program; Tribal Services: Child Care Services, employment training, natural resources development, financial assistance, utility assistance, healthcare and wellness coverage, emergency assistance; Social Services: Child protection, Low- income Home Energy Assistance Program,family violence protection. -
WONDERFUL OTOE INDIAN COLLECTION Presented to Nebraska State Historical Society by Major A
NEBRASKA HISTORY MAGAZINE 169 These houses are mostly rectangular, some however are round. They are from 18 to 55 feet in diameter and the floor level varies from seven inches to forty-two inch es below the present surface. Much valuable and inter esting information and evidence has been obtained but further work is necessary for proof of conclusions which are now assumed. In the vicinity of these sites are other sites in which no work has been done. It is very important that this work be carried forward as soon as possible as valuable eyidence is rapidly disappearing by erosion, decomposi tion, tillage of the soil and in several instances by inex perienced people digging into them. The Campaign of 1934 in prehistoric Nebraska will begin in May. Director Hill will take the field with a trained corps of workers. Camping outfits will locate at some of the sites which have been selected. Scientific equipment and methods will be employed. New and im portant chapters in the story of prehistoric peoples in Nebraska will be made known in this campaign. And the evidences of the buried aboriginal empire on these plains will be assembled in the Nebraska Historical Soci ety Museum in the State Capitol. -----0---- WONDERFUL OTOE INDIAN COLLECTION Presented to Nebraska State Historical Society by Major A. L. Green, of Beatrice and His Son T. L. Green, of Scottsbluff. Otoe Land was Southeastern Nebraska from the Platte River south to the Big Nemaha, from the Missouri west to the Big Blue. The capitol city of this Otoe Em pire was the great Otoe village, about three miles south east of the present village of Yutan in Saunders county. -
The Otoe-Missouria Flag Song
Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 30 (2008), p. 98 The Otoe-Missouria Flag Song Jill D. Greer Social Science Department, Missouri Southern State University Introduction As the title suggests, the focus of this paper is upon a single important song within the Otoe- Missouria tribe. This is a preliminary sketch, or a truly working paper as the KU publication series denotes. In subject and approach, it has been inspired by the venerable tradition of collecting, preserving, and analyzing Native American texts begun with 19th century BAE ethnographers such as James Owen Dorsey, encouraged by Franz Boas and his Americanist students, and celebrated by more recent scholars of verbal art as Hymes, Tedlock, Sherzer, and Basso. The particular esthetic principles used in the text will link it clearly to other tribal songs, and to the performance context as well. I will also raise issues of cultural change and continuity in the context of language shift, and finally, I argue that this Flag Song compellingly demonstrates the value of maintaining a heritage language within endangered and obsolescent language communities.1 By a heritage language, I mean a language which may no longer exist as an “everyday spoken medium of communication” but which may persist in special settings, such as the realm of sacred language in songs and prayer.2 The Western tradition has the familiar example of Latin preserved by use in the Church and as the common written language of scholars, but unlike Latin, the majority of Native languages were not represented in written form by their respective speech communities.3 The numerous circumstances leading to language shift within the Otoe- Missouria community have been similar to that documented elsewhere for the First Nations peoples in the U.S., and it is beyond the scope of this paper to review that tragic process in detail. -

Box 470 U.S. POSTAGE Pawnee, OK 74058 PAID PERMIT NO. 43 RETURN SERVICE REQUESTED PAWNEE, OK 74058 Page 2 Chaticks si Chaticks -October 2009- Message from the President Dear Pawnee Tribal Members: Take a look at the building going up at the Pawnee Nation Travel Plaza! Many have told me that as they drive by and see the structure developing, they feel proud. At long last the Pawnee Nation is stepping into the competitive arena of the casino and gaming business. Like it or not, the casino business for many American Indian tribes across the country has provided an economic advantage. We have lost three (3) years, plus $300,000,000 in the debacle of a few years. We had to work hard to prove our mettle to now skeptical lending agencies that we are an internally and structurally sound tribal organization of note. We are Pawnee and can make this business and its resulting products work to our advantage. We recognize the efforts of every member of the Tribal Development Cooperation (TDC) on this project. Each person on TDC had a hand in making this project a reality. This effort is a result of dogged TDC teamwork. My only regret at this point is that Les Hand, late Pawnee Business Council Treasurer, is not here to see the fruit of his work while on TDC. He is not here, but he sees it. The structure being built is 10,000 square feet and will accommodate 200 gaming machines and a 70 seating capacity steak house. -
FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER Food
COLORADO INDIANS – FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER Food What do these photos tell you about the food that these people ate? American Bison (Buffalo) This is a bison or American buffalo. Millions of bison once lived on the Great Plains of North America. In the 1800s, they were the largest animal native to North America. An average buffalo cow provided about 400 pounds of meat. That was enough meat to feed one person for at least 200 days. Buffalo Photo: Colorado Historical Society More About This Topic The bison lived on the blue grama and buffalo grass that grew on the plains. During the summer, when there was a lot of grass, the buffalo grazed in large herds. Some herds had several thousand animals. That was the best hunting season for the Plains Indians. The bison broke up into smaller herds during the winter, when there was less grass to eat. Their Own Words "From the top of Pawnee Rock, I could see from six to ten miles in almost every direction. The whole mass was covered with buffalo, looking at a distance like one compact mass....I have seen such sights a number of times, but never on so large a scale." Source: Colonel Richard Irving Dodge, May 1871, quoted in Donald Berthrong, The Southern Cheyenne (Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1963, p. 31. Drying Buffalo Meat The pole in this photo holds strips of bison or buffalo meat that are drying in the sun. Removing the moisture kept the meat from spoiling. Dried meat could be kept for several months. -

War of 1812 by Beth Carvey the Sauk and Meskwaki and the War of 1812 Prelude to War the War of 1812 Was a Significant Event in S
War of 1812 by Beth Carvey The Sauk and Meskwaki and the War of 1812 Prelude to War The War of 1812 was a significant event in Sauk and Meskwaki history and also for many other native nations who resided along and near the Mississippi River. The War of 1812 was actually two wars: an international war fought between the United States and Great Britain in the east and an Indian war fought in the west. This article is the first of a four-part series which will explore the War of 1812 in terms of native peoples’ points of view, the military actions that occurred in the western frontier theater, and the consequences for the Sauk and Meskwaki that resulted from the American victory. In 1812 the western frontier was comprised of the Mississippi, Illinois, and Missouri River regions, encompassing parts of present-day Wisconsin, Illinois, and northwest Missouri. More than ten different native nations, including the Sauk and Meskwaki, lived on these lands with an estimated population of 25,000 people. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 the native people of the region had been growing increasingly unhappy with the United States. Four main reasons were at the heart of this unhappiness: arrogance and ignorance on the part of many American officials; illegal white settlement on native lands; a number of treaties that dispossessed tribes of their lands; and economic matters, specifically the fur trade. The Sauk and Meskwaki had poor relations with the United States government since the signing of the fraudulent Treaty of 1804, whereby the two nations ceded over 50 million acres of land to the United States. -
