Major Quincentennial Events in Washington 135 Appendix A. About the Sourcebook Contributors 143 B. Index of authors and editors 145 Preface The Washington Center's Quincentennial Sourcebook Project arose out of numbers of requests for materials and sources on the Quincentennial from librarians, faculty, multicultural services staff, and students at our participating colleges. Amidst the first media blizzard about Columbus and his legacies in the fall of 1991, these individuals voiced a need for an overview of recent scholarship, not only about Columbus and the impacts of the "encounter," but also about Native Americans today. We drew together a small group of teachers, scholars and activists to shape a modest resource guide. But we rapidly learned that bibliographic enterprises are infinite in their possibilities, and every new conversation we had with colleagues revealed new sources. You will see that for the most part, we have cited books. Where we have found especially useful journal articles or movies or video tapes, we have listed those as well, but we want you to know that our materials in these categories are not at all exhaustive. In the several major strands of this sourcebook, we know there must be omissions, particularly works which are appearing in print even as we hurry to get this to press. Other strands, we simply did not attempt to address. For example, there is a tremendous amount of scholarship about the conquest and colonization of Central and South America, much of it in Spanish and Portuguese, which we did not attempt to cite. In addition, there are small but growing amounts of new scholarship about the histories of both Europe and Africa, and how the "encounter" affected peoples on both of these continents. Important works are emerging, many of them in languages other than English. Responding to the requests we received, we have shaped a large portion of this sourcebook around Indians in North America today, and particularly Indians in Washington state. We believe we have created a unique resource for our region.In addition, there are several other excellent sourcebooks and resource guides on the topic of the Quincentennial that are cited in Section 10 of this sourcebook. A note about language. We use the terms "Indian" and "Native American" interchangeably, as Native Americans in our region do. We use the word "tribe" with reference to Indian tribes in the North America, but we acknowledge that "tribe" is a complicated term which is often misused, or abused, with reference to other indigenous peoples in the world. The sourcebook contributors who came together to plan this project volunteered their time in the midst of heavy teaching, writing and artistic commitments. We are grateful for their persistence and care in drawing together both the essays and annotated bibliographies, and giving of their time far beyond what any of us originally anticipated. We would also like to thank Jim Bauermeister, Karen James, Kathryn Shan ley, and Tom Rainey for reading different sections of the sourcebook, and suggesting additional materials. Lee Lyttle, multicultural reference librarian at The Evergreen State College library, gave us good advice at the outset about structuring the sourcebook, and he tracked down many of our periodical citations. Evergreen's non-print librarians, Marcus Frank and Jane Fisher, did the audiovisual research.Washington Center staff member Tina Floyd checked sources, and Isecky Wonder ly gathered essential information about Washington Tribes and upcoming Quincentennial events in the region. Roberta Pinson transcribed hours of audio-tape from the working meeting of the contributors, and Tom Maddox turned Bob Matthew's talk into a first draft of prose. Robert Keefe and Robert Cole helped us in myriad ways through the mysteries of desk-top publishing. The Evergreen Graphics staff created the cover design. All these people were a pleasure to work with, and their excitement for the project propelled us forward. October 12, 1992, and indeed the year leading up to it, has been a galvanizing event for the world to look back with new eyes, and to look forward. We hope. this sourcebook will be useful for years to come, stimulating new forms of dialogue, research, and exploration for ways to live together in this world that was forever changed in 1492.

So, Leonard, welcome, and thank you so much for agreeing to be interviewed today. We really appreciate it. I’d just like to start, please, by getting your full name, and where and when you were born. Leonard Forsman: [0:30] Okay. My full name is Leonard Andrew Forsman, and I was born January 25, 1962 in Bremerton, Washington. Alison: [0:41] Okay, great. Can you also tell me your current location where you are today? Leonard: [0:47] I am in Suquamish, Washington, on the Port Madison Indian Reservation. Alison: [0:51] Okay. Great.

If you know any names, where they might have come from, where they immigrated to—if you know any of that information. Leonard: [1:10] Okay. Well, my paternal grandfather… My father was James William Forsman. His father was Alexander Forsman, who immigrated from Sweden. I don’t know a whole lot about his past, other than I believe the census records show him kind of coming via the Midwest, I believe Indiana, or something like that.

  • Battlefields & Treaties
    welcome to Indian Country Take a moment, and look up from where you are right now. If you are gazing across the waters of Puget Sound, realize that Indian peoples thrived all along her shoreline in intimate balance with the natural world, long before Europeans arrived here. If Mount Rainier stands in your view, realize that Indian peoples named it “Tahoma,” long before it was “discovered” by white explorers. Every mountain that you see on the horizon, every stand of forest, every lake and river, every desert vista in eastern Washington, all of these beautiful places are part of our Indian heritage, and carry the songs of our ancestors in the wind. As we have always known, all of Washington State is Indian Country. To get a sense of our connection to these lands, you need only to look at a map of Washington. Over 75 rivers, 13 counties, and hundreds of cities and towns all bear traditional Indian names – Seattle, Tacoma, Yakima, and Spokane among them. Indian peoples guided Lewis and Clark to the Pacifi c, and pointed them safely back to the east. Indian trails became Washington’s earliest roads. Wild salmon, delicately grilled and smoked in Alderwood, has become the hallmark of Washington State cuisine. Come visit our lands, and come learn about our cultures and our peoples. Our families continue to be intimately woven into the world around us. As Tribes, we will always fi ght for preservation of our natural resources. As Tribes, we will always hold our elders and our ancestors in respect. As Tribes, we will always protect our treaty rights and sovereignty, because these are rights preserved, at great sacrifi ce, ABOUT ATNI/EDC by our ancestors.

  • THE QUINCENTENARY of COLUMBUS's ARRIVAL Editor's Note
    HumanitiesNATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES • VOLUME 12 • NUMBER 5 • SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 1991 THE QUINCENTENARY OF COLUMBUS'S ARRIVAL Editor's Note The Columbian Quincentenary As happens with important anniversaries, the Columbian Quincentenary is bringing forth a number of historical reappraisals. With that in mind, in this issue of Humanities we look at the quincentenary from a number of perspectives. Even the particular word chosen to describe what went on, says historian James Axtell, carries a particular weight and colora­ tion, whether that word be colonization or imperialism or settlement or emigration or THE QUINCENTENARY OF COLUMBUS'S ARRIVAL invasion. In attempting to reframe the moral imperatives of 1492 at a distance of five centuries, Axtell cautions: King Ferdinand points to Columbus landing "The parties of the past deserve equal treatment from historians___As judge, in the New World. Woodcut from Guiliano jury, prosecutor, and counsel for the defense of people who can no longer testify Dati's La Lettera Dellisole, 1493. (Library on their own behalf, the historian cannot be any less than impartial in his or of Congress) her judicial review of the past." W. Richard West, Jr., the director of the new National Museum of the American Humanities Indian and himself a Cheyenne, says something succinct and similar: "We have A bimonthly review published by the to be careful that we do not try to remake history into something that it was not."

In 1941 the federal government dammed the Columbia River at the north endof Grand Coulee, creating a man-made reservoir named Lake Roosevelt that inundated homes, farms, and businesses, and disrupted the lives ofmany. Although Congress never enacted specific authorization to createa park, it passed generic legislation that gave the Park Service authorityat the National Recreation Area (NRA). Lake Roosevelt's shoreline totalsmore than 500 miles of cliffs and gentle slopes. The Lake Roosevelt NationalRecreation Area (LARO) was officially created in 1946. This historical study documents
