  • Outline of United States Federal Indian Law and Policy
    Outline of United States federal Indian law and policy The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to United States federal Indian law and policy: Federal Indian policy – establishes the relationship between the United States Government and the Indian Tribes within its borders. The Constitution gives the federal government primary responsibility for dealing with tribes. Law and U.S. public policy related to Native Americans have evolved continuously since the founding of the United States. David R. Wrone argues that the failure of the treaty system was because of the inability of an individualistic, democratic society to recognize group rights or the value of an organic, corporatist culture represented by the tribes.[1] U.S. Supreme Court cases List of United States Supreme Court cases involving Indian tribes Citizenship Adoption Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians v.

  • Historical Overview
    Indian Claims Insight Historical Overview The Constitution of the U.S. authorizes the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties. The removal of Indian Nations from American lands desired by white settlers was grounded in the treaty- making process. This practice continued a policy established in colonial times, under which white European settlers sought to usurp Native American lands through a process of negotiation rather than direct conquest. The Constitution expressly prohibits the States from entering into treaties or alliances and makes no distinction between treaty making involving foreign nations and treaty making with Native Americans, although it does make a distinction between foreign nations and Indian tribes in the language empowering Congress to regulate commerce. The earliest treaties refer to “Indian Nations” or “Indian tribes.” Of all the treaties signed, most involved Native American lands, Indian removal or resettlement, or clarification of boundaries between white settlements and Indian lands. Despite the fact that treaty making process between the U.S. Government and the Indian Nations/Tribes was overwhelmingly skewed to favor U.S. territorial expansion, Indian removal, and white settlement of lands previously occupied by Native Americans, it is the grounding of the territorial expansion in the treaty-making process that provided the only hope for Native Americans to seek redress. The following timeline highlights major events impacting the history of Indian claims 1789-present. 1 Treaty signed by George Treaty Making Period 1789-1871 Washington 1817 Secret articles of the Treaty of On Dec. 2, 1817 in his annual address to Congress, President James Monroe Peace and Friendship between the provided examples of Government actions involving the purchase of Indian U.S.

In using their Indian boarding schools autobiographies as tools of protest, these Native writers had to compromise and accommodate these gendered ideals dominant in American society.

  • What Sort of Indian Will Show the Way? Colonization, Mediation, and Interpretation in the Sun Dance Contact Zone
    WHAT SORT OF INDIAN WILL SHOW THE WAY? COLONIZATION, MEDIATION, AND INTERPRETATION IN THE SUN DANCE CONTACT ZONE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sandra Garner, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Lindsay Jones, Advisor Maurice Stevens Richard Shiels Copyright by Sandra Garner 2010 ABSTRACT This research project focuses on the Sun Dance, an Indigenous ritual particularly associated with Siouan people, as a site of cultural expression where multiple, often conflicting concerns, compete for hegemonic dominance. Since European contact the Sun Dance has been variously practiced, suppressed, reclaimed, revitalized, and transformed. It has also evoked strong sentiments both from those that sought to eradicate its practices as well as those who have sought its continuance. In spite of a period of intense colonial repression, during the last three decades the Siouan form of the Sun Dance has become one of the most widely practiced religious rituals from Indigenous North America and the number of Sun Dances held and the numbers of people participating has grown significantly. How has the Sun Dance ritual endured in spite of a lengthy history of repression? What is it about the Sun Dance that evokes such powerful sentiments? And, how do we account for the growth of the Sun Dance. I argue that the current growth and practice of the Sun Dance must be considered within the context of colonialism; a central focus of this dissertation. I identify the complex and messy ways that individuals mediate the inequitable power relations that shape colonialist interactions, as well as the way they interpret these social spaces.
