    While the United States government has generally been less than honorable in its dealings with Indian nations and with Indian people, during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries Indian people have shown great loyalty and patriotism by serving in the U.S. military. As a result of their service in World War I, all Indian veterans were granted U.S. citizenship in 1919 and all Indians were given citizenship in 1924. Indians were given citizenship again in 1940 to make sure that they would be eligible for the draft.   Shown below are some photographs of the Suquamish Veterans Memorial. A…

  • Indian Water Rights on the Klamath

    10 Jun 2013 | 7:30 pm
    In Oregon, the Klamath tribes are making what is known as a "call" on their water rights for rivers flowing into Upper Klamath Lake. The tribes want to maintain river flows for fish. The tribes have the oldest water rights in the basin and therefore they have first say over controlling it. The tribes will use their water to maintain flows in the Wood, Williamson, Sprague, and Sycan rivers for fish. The fish include endangered suckers which are held sacred by the tribes, redband trout, and ultimately salmon when the dams on the Klamath River are removed. According to one news story: The calls…

  • Red Jacket, Seneca Sachem

    17 May 2013 | 9:10 am
    In 1830 Red Jacket, the most famous Seneca orator, died in New York at the age of 74. Seneca writer, historian, and archaeologist Arthur Caswell Parker described the deathbed scene this way: "He murmured that his old comrades were around him, some chiding him for his mistakes and urging him to see that there was a task ahead."   Red Jacket was born to the Wolf Clan (since the Seneca are matrilineal he belonged to his mother's clan) and was given the name Otetiani ("He is Prepared") and took the name Sagoyewatha ("He Causes them to be Awake") when he became a chief. His English name, Red…

  • The Termination Era

    15 May 2013 | 6:17 pm
    In 1945 Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier, who had emphasized cultural pluralism for American Indians, was forced to resign by congressional opponents who sought a return to the policies of assimilation. The new approach was that of termination. The idea was to force individual Indians to assimilate into mainstream, English-speaking, Christian American society by getting rid of Indian reservations, by terminating all treaty obligations to Indian nations, and by terminating all government programs intended to aid Indians.   In this approach, Indian cultures were considered to be…
