Vol. II Sam Ann Maddra Ph.D. Thesis Department of Modern History Facultyof Arts University of Glasgow December2002 203 Six: The 1891/92 tour of Britain by Buffalo Bill's Wild West and the Dance shovestreatment of the Lakota Ghost The 1891.92 tour of Britain by Buffalo Bill's Wild West presented to its British audiencesan image of America that spokeof triumphalism, competenceand power. inside This waspartly achievedthrough the story of the conquestthat wasperformed the arena, but the medium also functioned as part of the message,illustrating American power and ability through the staging of so large and impressivea show. Cody'sWild West told British onlookersthat America had triumphed in its conquest be of the continent and that now as a powerful and competentnation it wasready to recognisedas an equal on the World stage. The Indians were presented by Buffalo Bill's Wild West as resolute barriers to civilisation; 'a counter-forceagainst which the hero displayedhis virtues." This image ' The waseasily recognisable to a British public well-versedin imperialist propaganda. for notoriety of the Ghost Dancerswas used to pull in the crowds,but except their being introduced as the 'Hostiles' as opposedto the 'Friendlies,' their role within the arenaremained the sameas the other Indian performers. The 1891-92tour of Britain alsoincluded a 'Wounded Kneeorphan' who they presentedas 'the last of the stock,' ' reinforcing the idea of American Indians as a vanishing race. The young boy had survivedthe massacreand travelled with his adoptive parents No Neck and his wife Ellen. 1 Kasson, Buffalo Bills Wild West, 161 2 John M. MacKenzienoted that 'War cameto be seen as a "theatrical event of sombremagnificence", while theories of the inevitability of warfare emerged from the social application of Darwinism. Warfare was endemic to civilisation, it was argued,both in the competition of rising Statesand in the conflict betweenthem and their decayingcounterparts. ' John M. MacKenzie,Propaganda and Empire: TheManipulation of British PublicOpinion, 188a1960 (Manchester,Manchester University Press,1984) 6. 204 Cody's exploitation of the Ghost Dance and Wounded Knee was restricted to publicity for the show, as no re-enactments were staged despite encouragement from some British journalists to do so, and when examined in the context of the wider exploitation would suggesta certain amount of empathy with the Lakota. The use of such `real' characterswas intended to give the exhibition a cloak of authenticity and to reinforce its claims of presenting educational fact.' However, not all characters presented were `real,' and a number of the Lakota appeared in the arena in the guise of other Indian Nations. Such inaccuracies appear not to have concerned the Indian performers, and simply made logistical sensefor the management. The overwhelming successof the tour, despite the poor summer weather, suggeststhat British audiences enthusiastically embraced the image of a triumphant America as presented by Cody's Wild West exhibition. ****** On 1 April 1891, the SS Switzerlandsailed from Philadelphia carrying a number of personnel associated with Buffalo Bill's Wild West, including seventy-five Lakota Indians. These men and women were travelling to Europe to resume the Wild West's first tour of the continent, which had begun in the spring of 1889.5 The majority of 3 EveningTimes (Glasgow), 23 Dec. 1891. `The 4 Philip J.

Shortly after their arrival in Antwerp, the new contingent of Indian performers met up with the rest of the castwho had been wintering in Alsace-Lorraine, and the show continued where it had left off the previous autumn. [Fig. 22] After a brief tour through Germany, Holland and Belgium, the Wild West then sailed from Antwerp to Grimsby, and in the last week of June 1891 the tour of provincial England opened at the Cardigan Fields in Leeds.' The 1891-92tour of Britain by Buffalo Bill's Wild West was significantly different from their previoustour in 1887,when the performershad appearedas part of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubileecelebrations with the American Exhibition at EarlsCourt in London. Generallyregarded as the `chief attraction' of the American Exhibition, the showhad been an enormoussuccess and Cody had become`the hero of the London season.'9 When ticket saleshad waned the show moved on to visit Manchesterand Birmingham before returning to America in 1888.

Secondlyand perhapsmore significantly, the presenceof twenty-threeLakota Ghost Dancers,who wereperceived by the majority of the British public to be `hostages'or `Prisonersof War, ' madethis tour by Buffalo Bill's Wild West unique. The exhibition was `organised around a series of spectacleswhich purported to re- enact scenes portraying different "Epochs" of American History. ' Following the `Primeval Forest,' peopled only by Indians and wild animals, the story of conquest was portrayed. 10 The Indians played the role of the `hostiles,' representing `the other' against whom the progress of white civilisation was measured, and this messagewas by by for strengthened the audiences' awareness- reinforced publicity the show - that some of the Indian performers were `prisoners' of the US government. The North British Daily Mail concluded, `there could not be better specimens of the untamed courageoussons of the prairie. '" The notoriety of the Ghost Dancerswas used by Cody to pull in the crowdsand their presenceadded authenticity to what was purported to be educationalentertainment. Furthermore,Cody's role as custodianenhanced his statusamongst the British public. The Brighton Argussuggested that `The privilege accordedto Colonel Cody of taking thesefamous warriors on tour with him is an unique one, and... granted solely in consequenceof the greatservices he has...rendered his country."2 It is perhapsone of the greatestironies of American Indian resistance,that the last Lakota to haveforcibly resistedthe governmentof the US were releasedinto Cody's care where they proceededto act the very `roles' ascribed to them a year earlier. 10Slotkin GunfighterNation, 67.

Opinion by Kuhlke, Administrative Trademark Judge: OVERVIEW Petitioners, five Native Americans, have brought this cancellation proceeding pursuant to Section 14 of the Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C. § 1064(c). They seek to cancel respondent’s registrations issued between 1967 and 1990 for Cancellation No. 92046185 trademarks consisting in whole or in part of the term REDSKINS for professional football-related services on the ground that the registrations were obtained contrary to Section 2(a), 15 U.S.C. § 1052(a), which prohibits registration of marks that may disparage persons or bring them into contempt or disrepute. In its answer, defendant, Pro-Football, Inc., asserted various affirmative defenses including laches.1 As explained below, we decide, based on the evidence properly before us, that these registrations must be cancelled because they were disparaging to Native Americans at the respective times they were registered, in violation of Section 2(a) of the Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C.

  • Wovoka Remained with the Wilsons for Several Years Before Returning to His Reservation
    Wovoka remained with the Wilsons for several years before returning to his reservation. In 1888 he fell ill and in a state of fever he received in a dream what was to be the basis of his Messiah Craze. (2). On January ist 1889, the Paiutes near Walker Lake, Nevada, witnessed an eclipse, and being sun worshippers, they regarded it as an attack on their god. To scare away the evll spirit they believed was the cause, they set up a great clamour, and became very excited. It was at this traumatic time that Wovoka revealed what he had dreamed; that he died and was taken up to heaven where he met the Great Spirit, and saw all the long dead Indians happy and forever young enjoying all their sports and earthly pastimes. He was told to return to earth with these instructions for his people: they must be good and love one another, have no quarreling and llve in peace with the whites; that they must work, and not lle or steal; that they must put away all the old practices that savoured of war; that if they faithfully obeyed his instructions they could at last be reunited with their friends in the other world, where there would be no more death or sickness or old age ..." To bring about all of this, the Indians were to perform a dance, and in his dream, Wovoka was instructed by the Great Spirit to teach the Indians the Ghost Dance~ as it became known. The Indians were to Join hands in a circle and shuffle to the left; food and water was prohibited, and the ceremony was to last for five days.

  • Chapter Five the Massacre at Wounded Knee
    Chapter Five The Massacre at Wounded Knee 5 There was no hope on earth, and God seemed to have for- gotten us. Some said they saw the Son of God; others did not see Him.… The people did not know; they did not care. They snatched at the hope. They screamed like crazy men to Him for mercy. They caught at the promise they heard He had made. The white men were frightened and called for sol- diers. We had begged for life, and the white men thought we wanted theirs. —Red Cloud, Lakota, 1890 n 1890 a new religious movement called the Ghost Dance swept through the Indian tribes of the western United States. It promised followers that Ieverything on earth would be restored to the way it was before the white men came, with abundant land and game, if the people performed a ritual dance. The Ghost Dance originated with a Paiute prophet named Wovoka who lived on the Walker Lake Reservation in Nevada. Also known as Jack Wilson, Wovoka had lived with a white family during his youth and learned the principles of Christianity (see Wovoka biography, p. 152). On New Year’s Day 1889, a total eclipse of the sun occurred in the west- ern United States. As this unusual and startling event unfolded, Wovoka sud- denly became terribly ill with a high fever. Delirious, he returned to his home and fell unconscious. During this period, Wovoka said that he experienced a powerful dream or vision. “When the sun died, I went up to heaven and saw God and all the people who had died a long time ago,” he related.

    TITLE PAGE Neihardt’s Ghost Dance: The literary creation of Black Elk and Lakota Religion by Robert DeBarba M.A. (Hood College) 2019 THESIS / CAPSTONE Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in HUMANITIES in the GRADUATE SCHOOL of HOOD COLLEGE May 2019 Accepted: ______________________ ______________________ Dr. Amy Gottfried Dr. Corey Campion Committee Member Program Director ______________________ ______________________ Dr. Corey Campion Dr. April Boulton Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School ______________________ Dr. Jay Harrison Capstone Advisor i STATEMENT OF USE AND COPYRIGHT WAIVER “I do authorize Hood College to lend this Thesis (Capstone), or reproductions of it, in total or in part, at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research.” ii ABSTRACT Native American ceremonies are an integral part of understanding indigenous culture. In the early 1900’s, John Neihardt attempted to better understand the Lakota culture by interviewing Black Elk about the Ghost Dance of 1890. Originally, Neihardt’s intention was to use the information he gathered as a backdrop to his impending novel. Instead, in 1930, he wrote Black Elk Speaks, which was based on the interview of Black Elk on Lakota Culture. Originally, the book was touted as a lens into authentic Native American religion; information that was traditionally internal was made available to outsiders. Throughout decades the book has been accepted as a valuable primary source of indigenous culture. The Lakota Ghost Dance filled a religious void in Lakota culture that resulted from generations of oppression of tribal members by Anglo Americans.

    THE WALTER STANLEY CAMPBELL COLLECTION Inventory and Index Revised and edited by Kristina L. Southwell Associates of the Western History Collections Norman, Oklahoma 2001 Boxes 104 through 121 of this collection are available online at the University of Oklahoma Libraries website. THE COVER Michelle Corona-Allen of the University of Oklahoma Communication Services designed the cover of this book. The three photographs feature images closely associated with Walter Stanley Campbell and his research on Native American history and culture. From left to right, the first photograph shows a ledger drawing by Sioux chief White Bull that depicts him capturing two horses from a camp in 1876. The second image is of Walter Stanley Campbell talking with White Bull in the early 1930s. Campbell’s oral interviews of prominent Indians during 1928-1932 formed the basis of some of his most respected books on Indian history. The third photograph is of another White Bull ledger drawing in which he is shown taking horses from General Terry’s advancing column at the Little Big Horn River, Montana, 1876. Of this act, White Bull stated, “This made my name known, taken from those coming below, soldiers and Crows were camped there.” Available from University of Oklahoma Western History Collections 630 Parrington Oval, Room 452 Norman, Oklahoma 73019 No state-appropriated funds were used to publish this guide.

  • Meet the Masters November Program Grade 6 Stories in Art
    Meet the Masters November Program Grade 6 Stories in Art Walter Ellison "Train Station" Kicking Bear "Battle of Little Big Horn" About the Artists: Walter Ellison (1900-1977) was born in Eatonton, Georgia. He moved to Chicago during the Great Migration. He was a teenager when he left his Southern home for the Northern city. His move was a part of the Great Migration which took place between 1910 and 1970. During this time millions of African Americans moved from the poverty of the South to find new jobs in the industrial cities of the North.
