  • University of Arkansas at Little Rock History Department Newsletter Two
    University of Arkansas at Little Rock History Department Newsletter May 6, 2011—Editor, Edward M. Anson Two Senior Faculty Members Retire Fred Williams to Retire at the End of the Semester C. Fred Williams, Professor of History, joined the UALR History faculty in 1969. He was selected as Department Head in 1973 and became Chairperson in 1974, the latter position he held until 1980. During his term as Chair, Dr. Williams oversaw the greatest growth in the size of the department, hiring ten faculty members, most of whom either completed their academic careers at UALR or are still in the department. At UALR, Dr. Williams has worn many hats – Professor, as noted, head and chair of the History Department, Associate Dean of the then College of Liberal Arts, Associate Vice Chancellor for Educational Programs, President of the University Assembly and Senate, and even acting chair of the Department of International and Second Language Studies. He has long been one of the state’s leading advocates for Arkansas history, and is currently the Director of the University’s Center for Arkansas Studies and Editor of the Ledbetter Monograph Series on Arkansas Culture. It has been thanks to his support and encouragement that our department has been at the forefront of the study of the history of our state. Dr. Williams, along with colleagues like now retired S. Charles Bolton and current faculty Carl Moneyhon and John Kirk, have in their monographs brought much of our state’s history from the archives and personal remembrances to the community at large.

  • American Indian Profile
    American Indian Profile Fall 2012 Enrollment Information 09/26/12 The University Northeastern State University is a comprehensive regional university that prepares students to succeed as global citizens by providing exceptional undergraduate and graduate programs, along with the only Doctorate of Optometry offered in Oklahoma (one of only 19 nationwide) and the only Bachelor of Arts degree in Cherokee Education in the nation. History Northeastern was founded in 1846 as the Cherokee National Female Seminary, which opened in 1851. On March 6, 1909, the Oklahoma Legislature purchased the Seminary from the Cherokee Nation, and the following September classes began at the newly formed Northeastern State Normal School. In 2009, the NSU Centennial Celebration highlighted the university’s 100 years as a state institution and dedicated a monument to the pre- eminant Cherokee scholar, Sequoyah. Center for Tribal Studies The Center for Tribal Studies, founded in 1990, is a resource for bridging communication and interaction between tribal nations and the university. Within the context of American Indian higher education, the Center collaborates with other campus entities in program development, strategic planning, research guidance, student engagement and scholarly activities. Northeastern State University is a destination of choice for American Indian education, and the diverse campus culture nurtures a strong sense of community for Native students. Through educational leadership, cultural knowledge and professional development among students, scholars emerge - many of whom will serve in professions benefiting tribal governments and indigenous communities. Indigenous Scholar Development Center The Indigenous Scholar Development Center (ISDC) was established in the fall of 2011. Housed on the second floor of the John Vaughn Library adjacent to Special Collections, the Center offers services to enhance the academic experience of students in a supportive environment.

Therefore, in order to perform a simple search of the GENERAL records of Arkansas’ Native People in the National Archives Online Catalog it is best to focus on National Park Service historic place applications, Osage and Quapaw records before 1824, and records of the Five Civilized Tribes as they traveled across Arkansas. Use the following search terms: Removal (Advanced Search, using Record Group 75) and “Arkansas Indian” (include quotation marks). The much broader search, Arkansas Indian, will have to be narrowed further by date range and document type. There are several great resources available for general information and material for kids about the Native People of Arkansas, such as the Native Languages and National Museum of the American Indian websites.

    Hill, Mary April 19, 1937 Billie Byrd Research Field Worker S-149 Interview with Mary Hill, Age 47, Muskogee Tribe Okfuskee Town (tulwa), Okemah, Oklahoma The Migration to the West of the Muskogee Many years ago, my grandmother, Sallie Farney, who was among those, that made the trip to the West from Alabama, often told of the trip as follows: "In every way we were abundantly blessed in our every day life in the old country. We had our hunting grounds and all the things that are dear to the heart or interest of an Indian. A council meeting was mostly composed of men, but there were times when every member of a town (tulwa) was requested to attend the meetings. Many of the leaders, when unrest was felt in the homes, visited the different homes and gave encouragement to believe that Alabama was to be the permanent home of the Muskogee tribe. But many different rumors of a removal to the far west was often heard. The command for a removal came unexpectedly upon most of us. There was the time that we noticed that several overloaded wagons were passing our home, yet we did not grasp the meaning. However, it was not long until we found out the reason. Wagons stopped at our home and the men in charge commanded us to gather what few belongings could be crowded into the wagons. We were to be taken away and leave our homes never to return. This was just the beginning of much weeping and heartaches. We were taken to a crudely built stockade and joined others of our tribe.

  • 2007 National Conference of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums
    2 2007 National Conference of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums About the Conference Logo The conference logo incorporates The Guard- ian by renowned Master Artist, Seminole Chief, and retired Oklahoma State Senator Kelly Haney. The sculpture stands prominently atop the Oklahoma State Capitol. Rising to a height of twenty-two feet and weighing 4,000 pounds, it embodies the diversity within the proud and strong population of Oklahoma, while serving as a reminder of tumultuous times. The Guardian signifies the thousands of Na- tive Americans that were forced from their homes during the 1800s and exemplifies the valor of Oklahomans and their ability to overcome tragedies. Senator Kelly Haney, speaking as The Guard- ian, provides this insight into the symbolism of the statue: “My lance pierces my legging and is planted in the ground. I will not be moved from my duty, from my love of Oklahoma and all of its people—people who have come from far and near, people who have withstood adversities and hardships, and still stand strong and proud. I will stand my ground. I will stand guard over our great state, over our majestic land, over our values, I will not be moved.” Senator Haney’s message to you, as a “Guardian of Culture,” is to, “Dream big. Work hard. Believe deeply … for this is just the beginning. Let us all rise to our potential.” The Artist Truly a modern-day renaissance man, Enoch Kelly Haney’s talents span two separate spheres— namely politics and art. Born on November 12, 1940, to William Woodrow and Hattie Louise Haney, Enoch grew up in Seminole, Oklahoma.
