NEBRASKA INDIAN AFFAIRS COMMISSION RG93 Span Dates: 1968-1995 Cubic Feet of Records: 33 NEBRASKA INDIAN AFFAIRS COMMISSION RG93 Span Dates: 1968-1995 Cubic Feet of Records: 33 Background and History: The Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs (NCIA) was created by LB 904 of the 82nd session of the Nebraska Legislature (May 22, 1971) with the purpose of monitoring legislation and coordinating activities among tribes, organizations, and state or federal agencies. Its members serve to promote Indian rights and address problems confronted by Nebraska Indians. The Commission currently consists of fourteen members appointed by the Governor of Nebraska and one "ex-officio" member representing the Pawnee tribe. The commission's mission is "to do all things which it may determine to enhance the cause of Indian rights and to develop solutions to problems common to all Nebraska Indians." The commission serves the state liaison between the four headquarter tribes of the Omaha, Ponca, Santee Sioux and Winnebago Tribes of Nebraska. The commission also helps to ensure the sovereignty of both tribal and state governments are recognized and acted upon in a true government-to-government relationship. The commission assists off-reservation Indian communities by assuring the right to equitable opportunities in the areas of housing, employment, education, health care, economic development and human/civil rights within Nebraska. The collection consists of the following subgroups: 1) Correspondence, 1970-1993 2) Legislation, 1964-1994 3) Commission Members and Meeting Minutes, 1970-1990 4) Topic and Subject Files, 1970-1995 (Arranged in Alphabetical Order) 5) Statistical Data Files, 1970-1991 6) Printed Materials, 1970-1993 7) Photographs/Images, 1866-1991 ***Note: Photographs/Images have been transferred to NSHS Curator of Photographs 1 SUBGROUP ONE CORRESPONDENCE (total of 5 boxes) Box 1, 1970-1972 f. 1 Incoming, 1970 f. 2 Outgoing, 1970 f. 3 Incoming, January thru March 1971 f. 4 Outgoing, January thru March 1971 f. 5 Incoming, April thru June 1971 f. 6 Outgoing, April thru June 1971 f. 7 Incoming, July thru September 1971 f. 8 Outgoing, July thru September 1971 f. 9 Incoming, October thru December 1971 f. 10 Outgoing, October thru December 1971 f. 11 Correspondence, Thurston County Jail Issue, 1971 f. 12 Governor J.

LOWIE INTRODUCTION IN THE SUMMER Of 1910 and 1911 I visited the Hidatsa and Mandan at Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota, my primary object being the study of their age societies for the American Museum of Natural History. During one of these sojourns I obtained from Wolf-chief the following version of the Grandson myth, Englished by Good-bird, which presents several points of theoretical interest. About twenty years later Professor Beckwith visited the same tribes, procuring a very full version of the story from Bear's-arm and some fragmentary data from Arthur Mandan.' In addition there are six pub- lished Crow versions,2 as well as two unpublished ones in my possession; the fullest of my variants has appeared in English and is now available in the original. The present purpose is not to present a complete comparative study, which would inevitably merge in a consideration of the Lodge Boy and Spring Boy cycle, and thence of the Twin myths of the New World, but rather to concen- trate on immediately relevant comparative material and, through it, gain light on the processes of differentiation.

Swetland Center for Great Plains Studies and Department ofAnthropology University ofNebraska-Lincoln Lincoln, NE 68588-0317 Abstract. The (Dawes) General Allotment Act of1887 was meant to fulfill the United States Government policy ofallotting individual parcels of Indian reservation lands in an effort to break up communal societies,Jorcing tribes to move towards the white man's ideal of civilized culture. Three decades earlier, Article 6 ofthe Treaty of1854 allowed for the survey and allotting of the Omaha's northeastern Nebraska reservation, placing the Omaha Nation at the leading edge offederal policy a generation before the Dawes Act.
