The American people saw the rewards that grew out of our efforts in the first 18 months of my Administration. Economic growth increased in strength, and the number of new jobs created during my Administration rose to 4.7 million. After 6 years of delay, the American people had a Crime Bill, which will put 100,000 police officers on our streets and take 19 deadly assault weapons off the street. We saw our National Service initiative become a reality as I swore in the first 20,000 AmeriCorps members, giving them the opportunity to serve their country and to earn money for their education. -
Invoking Authority in the Chickasaw Nation, 1783–1795
"To Treat with All Nations": Invoking Authority in the Chickasaw Nation, 1783–1795 Jason Herbert Ohio Valley History, Volume 18, Number 1, Spring 2018, pp. 27-44 (Article) Published by The Filson Historical Society and Cincinnati Museum Center For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/689417 [ Access provided at 26 Sep 2021 02:59 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] “To Treat with All Nations” Invoking Authority in the Chickasaw Nation, 1783–1795 Jason Herbert gulayacabé was furious in the fall of 1796. Like many Chickasaws, he was stunned to learn of the recent treaty between the United States and Spain, which now jeopardized his nation’s sovereignty. The deal, Uwhich gave the Americans navigation rights to the Mississippi River and drew a new border along the 31st parallel, was the culmination of constant jockey- ing between the empires over land and trade routes in the Southeast since the American Revolution. However, the Treaty of San Lorenzo (also called Pinckney’s Treaty) was little different from other imperial pacts in that American Indians were not invited to the table. Nevertheless, the pact meant relations in Indian country were to be amended. At a meeting at San Fernando de las Barrancas (present-day Memphis), Ugulayacabé railed against his Spanish friends. “We see that our Father not only abandons us like small animals to the claws of tigers and the jaws of wolves.” The United States’ proclamations of friendship, he contin- ued, were like “the rattlesnake that caresses the squirrel in order to devour it.”1 Of course, not everyone shared Ugulayacabé’s frustrations. -
2) Economy, Business
2) Economy, Business : The majority of tribes' economies rely on Casinos. There are a huge amount of Casinos in Oklahoma, more than in any other state in the USA. But they also rely on the soil resources, there are tribes who are very rich thanks to their oil resources. Natural resources After 1905 deposits of lead and zinc in the Tri-State Mining District made the Quapaws of Ottawa County some of the richest Indians of the USA. Zinc mines also left hazardous waste that still poisons parts of their lands. The Osages became known as the world's richest Indians because their “head right” system distributed the royalties from their “underground reservation” equally to the original allottees. The Osage's territory was full of oil. Gaming revenues The Chickasaw are today the richest tribe in Oklahoma thanks to their Casinos they make a lot of profit. On their website you can read : “From Bank2, Bedre Chocolates, KADA and KYKC radio stations and the McSwain Theatre to the 13 gaming centers, travel plazas and tobacco stores, the variety and prosperity of the Chickasaw Nation's businesses exemplifies the epitome of economic success!”. The Comanche Tribe derives revenue from four casinos. The Comanche Nation Casino in Lawton features a convention center and hotel and has a surface of 45,000 square feet. The others are the Red River Casino at Devol north of the Red River, and two small casinos : Comanche star casino east of Walters and Comanche Spur Casino near Elgin. Enlargements of the casinos are planned . There are smoke shops and convenience stores in the casinos. -
Tell Us About Your Name Anoatubby. There Must Be Some Meaning to That
BILL AN O ATUBBY 2 JE: Tell us about your name Anoatubby. There must be some meaning to that. BA: Yes it is a warrior name within the Chickasaw Nation and it means “walk and kill.” JE: Do you know how far back it goes and where it originated? BA: Well, it’s difficult to say for sure but I do have an account where I had a relative that was with Davy Crockett, it was in his journal. They were working with Andrew Jackson and that we’re talking in the 1700s and early 1800s. JE: Tell us where you were born. BA: I was born in Dennison, Texas. Moved from Dennison, Texas, when I was just a baby, I guess you’d say, to Tishomingo, and that’s where I was raised. My dad, a full-blood Chickasaw, and the rest of the family moved to Dennison, obviously proud of my birth. He was there to work. He worked for Kraft Foods in Dennison, Texas. JE: About Tishomingo, that was the original capital for the Chickasaws? BA: That’s a historic capital. The Chickasaws moved into Indian Territory in the late 1830s. Tishomingo was the central part of the territory where the Chickasaws lived. JE: Tishomingo takes its name from? BA: It’s from a war chief, Chief Tishomingo. He was the last war chief of the Chickasaws. JE: Then let’s talk about your mother and where she was born and where she grew up. BA: My mother was Opal Mitchell Anoatubby. She was born in Greenville, Texas, and moved to Tishomingo when she was but a young girl. -

Payamataha (Chickasaw)
14 The Place and Its People Payamataha 15 Payamataha the Warrior The man who came to be known as Payamataha, meaning war leader or war prophet, grew up in the fortified Chickasaw towns during this era of escalating warfare. Chickasaw boys had nicknames and would acquire adult names only once they· showed their character and achievements. As a child, the boy who would become Payamataha saw his mother and aunts keep a watchful eye for enemies riding across the pl�in ,as they farmed or collected drinking water from wells near their town. Like most Chickasaw children, he would have en joyed bear bacon, the annual crop of strawbe�ries, and another Chick asaw favorite, a milkshake of hickory nut milk and sweet potatoes. He learned to play stickball (a game similar to lacross,e) on his town's ballfield. As he grew older, he learned to htint. Like other boys, he made his own deer decoy by carefully carving out the 'interior of a George Catlin, Ball-play of the Choctaw, 1840s.

MS. in Archives Coloniales, Paris; pressmark, “Amérique, serie B, Canada, vol. 76, fol. 100.”] 1 From 1723–49, the minister of the marine (which included the bureau of the colonies), was Jean Freédeéric Phelypeaux, Comte de Maurepas.— Ed. Versailles , May 31, 1743. Monsieur —The report you made me in 1741 respecting what had passed between the Scioux and Renard Savages2 having led me to suspect that both would seek to join together, I wrote you in my despatch of April 20th of last year to neglect nothing to prevent so dangerous a union. Such suspicions are only too fully justified. In fact I see by a letter from Monsieur de Bienville,3 dated February 4th last, that the Sieur de Bertet, major commanding at Illinois4 has informed him that the voyageurs who had arrived from Canada the previous autumn had reported to him that the Scioux, not content with having broken the peace they themselves had gone to ask of you, had also induced the Renards to join them in a fresh attempt against the French, and that the Sakis not wishing to take part in this league had wholly separated themselves from the other tribes. 1 2 See Wis.

As Soon As Daniel Brewster Defeated George Wallace in the Mary- Land Presidential Primary, Attention on Capitol Hill Shifted Back to the Civil Rights Bill
CHAPTER 12 “AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME” As soon as Daniel Brewster defeated George Wallace in the Mary- land presidential primary, attention on Capitol Hill shifted back to the civil rights bill. The negotiations over the final form of the bill continued between Senator Humphrey and Senator Dirksen. Meanwhile, the filibus- ter continued to drag along on the Senate floor. The southern Democrats were becoming fearful that Senator Dirksen really was going to support cloture and enable the Senate to produce a strong civil rights bill. As a result, the southern senators began filibustering late into the evening. The senators from Dixie also became more vehement in their condemnation of the Civil Rights Movement in general and the civil rights bill in particular. Early one evening in late spring, I was exercising my “privilege” to be on the Senate floor and was casually observing the action there. I decided to take a short break from the endless southern speech making and stepped out on the front portico of the Senate wing of the Capitol to get some fresh air. The weather was warm. It was quite pleasant to be outdoors. Standing amidst the marble pillars, I suddenly heard music playing. I glanced over at the center section of the Capitol building. There, on the front steps of the Capitol, with the Capitol dome rising behind them, sat a crowd of people listening to an outdoor band concert. The band was playing on the sidewalk just below the marble steps on 166 ON THE FORWARD EDGE TWO which the people were seated. -

TO EARN "A PLACE of HONOR" If the Civil Rights Leaders Had Thought Th
CHAPTER 13 "TO DIE ON THE BARRICADES;" TO EARN "A PLACE OF HONOR" If the civil rights leaders had thought they were going to sit around the Senate floor for a few hours and enjoy the fact that cloture had been invoked on the civil rights bill, they were mistaken. Immediately after cloture and following a brief exchange of congratulations, Senator Sam Ervin of North Carolina rose at his desk and offered an amendment which, if accepted, probably would have greatly weakened the bill. The amendment appeared acceptable at first glance. It provided that government officials who violate civil rights laws could not be tried by both the state government and the United States Government for the same violation. Not until several minutes after the amendment was presented did the civil rights forces realize that Southern states could use the amendment to punish civil rights violators with light or nonexistent state penalties and thereby protect the violators from prosecution and heavy fines and jail sentences in U.S. courts. To the amazement of the civil rights forces, Senator Ervin's amendment looked so good at first glance that it was adopted by a vote of 49 to 48. Only a procedural misstep on Ervin's part saved the newly clotured civil rights bill from what civil rights supporters would have considered disaster. In his eagerness to present the amendment, Ervin had offered it to a previous Southern amendment rather than to the Mansfield- Dirksen substitute amendment which had been produced by the Humphrey-Dirksen negotiations. Ervin's 287 TO END ALL SEGREGATION amendment, although officially passed by the Senate, died when the original Southern amendment to which it was attached failed to be adopted.
