For more information, please contact [email protected]. COMMENT SACRED RAIN ARROW: HONORING THE NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE OF THE STATES WHILE BALANCING THE CITIZENS’ CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS Amelia Coates* Abstract Many states’ histories and traditions are steeped heavily in Native American culture, which explains why tribal imagery and symbolism are prevalent in official state paraphernalia such as license plates, flags, and state seals. Problems arise for states using Native American artwork when a citizen takes offense to the religious implications of Native American depictions, and objects to having it displayed on any number of items. This Comment will examine the likely outcome of cases involving Establishment Clause and compelled speech claims arising from Native American images and propose a solution for balancing the constitutional rights of the citizens while still honoring the states’ rich Native American heritage.

  • HABS Historical Reports: Outline Format (Example No
    HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY U. S. POST OFFICE (Crown American Corporation Building) HABS No. PA-5390 Location: 131 Market St., southeast corner of Locust and Market streets, Johnstown, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Present Owner/ Occupant: Crown American Corporation. Present Use: Office building. Significance: This was the first building in Johnstown designed specifically to serve as a post office, by John Knox Taylor, supervising architect of the Treasury. A grand example of the Greek Revival commercial style, the design of the post office represents the optimism felt about Johnstown in the first decades of the twentieth century. PART I. HISTORICAL INFORMATION A. Physical History: 1. Date of erection: 1912-1914. The Supervising Architect of the U.S. Treasury signed the official proposal drawing for the structure on May 1, 1911. Construction began on April 26, 1912, and the building was occupied on January 16, 1914. 2. Architect: James Knox Taylor. Taylor was supervising architect of the U.S. Treasury between 1897 and 1912. Under his tenure, the office of the supervising architect was responsible for the construction and maintenance of all government buildings. 3. Original and subsequent owners: U.S. government, 1914 to 1968; Crown American Corporation, 1968 to present. 4. Original and subsequent occupants: After the post office left the building in 1938, the U.S. government used the Market Street building as office space for various agencies. The 1938 city directory lists the occupant as the Works Progress Administration; in 1943 the building was vacant. From 1951 to 1965 the Veterans Administration was the major tenant, with various agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service, Selective Service, Bureau of Mines, and U.S.
