WALKER ABSTRACT The eighty-six years from 1860-1945 was a momentous one in American Indian history. During this period, the United States fully settled the western portion of the continent. As time went on, the United States ceased its wars against Indian tribes and began to deal with them as potential parts of American society. Within the military, this can be seen in the gradual change in Indian roles from mostly ad hoc forces of scouts and home guards to regular soldiers whose recruitment was as much a part of the United States’ war plans as that of any other group.

  • A Teacher's Guide to Archway Adventure
    A Teacher’s Guide to Archway Adventure The Archway was designed with tour groups of all ages in mind. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your student field trip to the Archway. Scheduling your time at the Archway Though it is “self-guided”, we find that the Archway’s historical tour can take as little as 1.25 hours or as much as 1.75 hours depending on the stops you make and pace you set. In addition, when planning your tour, please consider the following: When your group arrives, you will first want to send them to the restrooms. There are no restroom facilities available on the tour. Depending on the size of the group, this will take some time, 10 minutes, or so If you have a group of 20 or more, we’ll want to split up into smaller groups of 10-12. This will take 5 minutes, or so We’ll give each group an orientation to the audio guide before sending them on the tour. This will take 5 minutes, or so. You may want to consider additional time to prepare your students with pre-tour instructions or questions to focus their thinking and stimulate discussion. If you add a reenactment, it will take an additional 15-20 minutes. Other special programs take up to 45 minutes. Grouping students If you have a group of 15-20 students, or more, please consider breaking into smaller groups that can each be accompanied by at least one adult. Adults can be charged with: Helping with audio equipment Keeping the group to a reasonable pace – Adult “Trail Bosses” lead the group and don’t allow students to race ahead of them.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bi-monthly by The State Historical Society of Colorado VOL. XI Denver, Colorado, March, 1934 No. 2 Catching Wild Horses HOMER HOYT* Having been asked by a representative of the Colorado State Historical Rociety to cl('serilJP the method of catching wild horses. f will endeavor to do so. As the wild horse is almost a thing of the past, soon there will be no one living competent to describe the process authoritatively. There are few men now living who have had a very wide experience in catching wild horses. Among them I will mention two whom I consider the very highest authority, Mr. Thomas A. Hightower, now living in California, and Mr. Wal­ ter Harris Brown. I do not know the whereabouts of Mr. Brown. At last report, in the late '90s, he was at Cripple Creek, Colorado, with a herd of burros to sell to the miners. I received my first tutelage from Mr. Jerry McGahan, com­ monly known throughout the United States as "Wild Horse" .Terry. He usually corralled his horses either at his home ranch five miles west of Pawnee Buttes, Weld County, Colorado, or at Indian Cave, twenty miles east of the Buttes. In the summer of 1886 Bob and Tom Hightower went to the Panhandle of 'l'exas, chased around all summer and caught noth­ ing, although they both were first class wild horse men. The reason for failure was shortage of saddle stock. In the spring of 1887 the brothers asked mr to join them as I had several saddle horses.

  • The "City-Boo" Elision Is from the Mouth of the Hunkpapa, Sitting Bull the BAD (Ass), While He Was Touring with Bill Cody in 1885
    Sitting Bull - Saville Ledger The "City-Boo" elision is from the mouth of the Hunkpapa, Sitting Bull the BAD (Ass), while he was touring with Bill Cody in 1885. But it turns out that not surprisingly, the Oglala and Hunkpapa Sitting Bulls were commonly confused, and from an early date. On July 13, 1876, hardly a week after the U.S. had learned of the Custer Massacre and had the name "Sitting Bull" seared into the national consciousness, an enterprising reporter for the New York Daily Graphic learned of five drawings attributed to "Sitting Bull", and was among the first to confuse the two men. These were reportedly then in the Smithsonian collections. I do not find them in the National Anthropological Archives Online inventory. They may be in the Museum of Natural History collection, not much of which is yet Online. I've attached the five engravings from the Daily Graphic. You will be pleased to learn that the artist was YOUR guy, the "GOOD Oglala," and four of the five drawings duplicate vignettes from the collection of Agent Saville. These were obtained even earlier, in 1870. While lacking color, we can see the same shield depicted in the Saville drawings, with horizontal center band, blue top and yellow bottom. With these helpful clues, we now gain the context for your drawing #17, when Sitting Bull was shot four or more times and his horse was shot 8 times: the Fetterman Massacre near Fort Phil Kearny, W.T., 21 December 1866. As I originally suggested, most of the events occurred in the context of the Powder River War and subsequent Red Cloud's War, 1865-1867.

The Tribe then, as it is now, was composed of four distinct bands: the Chaui “Grand,” the Kitkehahki “Republican,” the Pitahawirata “Tappage” and the Skidi “Wolf.” After encroachment by white settlers, the Pawnees ceded their territory to the U.S. Government in the 1800s and were removed from Nebraska to what is now Pawnee County, Oklahoma in 1875.

    CHAPTER FOUR Siouan and Other American Indian Occupation of the White River Badlands (AD 1770-1891) Badlands Historic Resource Study • July 2006 • John Milner Associates, Inc. ________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 4 SIOUAN AND OTHER AMERICAN INDIAN OCCUPATION OF THE WHITE RIVER BADLANDS (AD 1770-1891) Introduction The Spanish and Mexican presence in the American Southwest during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries spread northward, exposing the Plains Indians to European material culture, in particular the horse and gun, but also domestic items like iron hoes, axes, knives, and cooking pots among other items. These items began to influence the lifeways of the Plains Indian tribes prior to the more direct impact of their encounters with Euro- American fur trappers and traders in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. As noted in the previous chapter, the importation of horses onto the Great Plains, combined with increasing population pressures, increased territoriality, and diminished agricultural supplies, as a result of deteriorating climatic conditions during the Neo- Boreal period, led to increased group movements and increased inter-group hostilities. Meanwhile, the westward expansion of Euro-Americans in Canada and throughout the Great Lakes region during the last quarter of the seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century had repercussions across much, if not all, of the North American continent. It is during this time that many agricultural groups and woodland-oriented hunting and gathering tribes moved onto the Plains and adopted a fully nomadic, equestrian lifestyle predicated on bison and the hunting of other wild game, supplemented by the collection of wild seeds, berries, and nuts.
