Topic: A Century of Dishonor

	Helen Hunt Jackson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Century of Dishonor, calling for change from the contemptible, selfish policy to treatment characterized by humanity and justice, was published in 1881.
		Jackson then sent a copy to every member of Congress with an admonishment printed in red on the cover, "Look upon your hands: they are stained with the blood of your relations." But, to her disappointment, the book had little impact.
		But in less than a year after the publication of Ramona, while she was examining the condition of the California Indians as a special government commissioner, she died of cancer in San Francisco, California.

	Missions and Moral Judgment \| Amy Turner Bushnell \| OAH Magazine of History
		The anticlerical regalists, who in the eighteenth century expelled the Jesuits from the empire, denounced them for creating economic monopolies, states within a state.
		In their turn, the liberals who privatized Indian communal lands in the early nineteenth century accused the missionaries of stifling individualism and enterprise.
		When, a half century after secularization, Helen Hunt Jackson, author of A Century of Dishonor (1881), turned to fiction to lament the loss of California's native population, the American public took Ramona (1883) to heart, but not as Jackson intended.

		The publication in 1881 of Helen Hunt Jackson's A Century of Dishonor, which portrayed federal violations of Indian treaties, and a government investigation of the reservation system stimulated sentiment for Indian policy reform during the 1880s.
		The result was that Indian holdings declined from 155,632,312 acres in 1881 to 77,865,373 acres in 1900.
		In the first decade of the 20th century most restrictions on the alienation of Indian allotments were removed, enabling the direct transfer of lands to white settlers.

	Welcome to the University of Oklahoma Press - home
		First published in 1881 and reprinted in numerous editions since, Helen Hunt Jackson’s A Century of Dishonor is a classic account of the U.S. government’s flawed Indian policy and the unfair and cruel treatment afforded North American Indians by expansionist Americans.
		Beginning with a legal brief on the original Indian right of occupancy, A Century of Dishonor continues with Jackson’s analysis of how irresponsibility, dishonesty, and perfidy on the part of Americans and the U.S. government devastated the Delaware, Cheyenne, Nez Perce, Sioux, Ponca, Winnebago, and Cherokee Indians.
		Valerie Sherer Mathes’s foreword traces Jackson’s life and writings and places her in the context of reform advocacy in the midst of nineteenth century expansionism.

	Helen Hunt Jackson
		As expressed in her devastating criticisms of federal Indian policy and white-Indian relations in A Century of Dishonor and the novel Ramona, Helen Hunt Jackson was one of the most influential defenders of Native American rights in late 19th-century America.
		Helen Hunt Jackson was born Helen Maria Fiske during the first term of President Andrew Jackson, a former Indian fighter and advocate of removing Indians living in the eastern United States to the West.
		It is not surprising that the military massacre at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, including that of at least 200 Sioux men, women, and children, occurred only five years after Jackson's untimely death andmdash; a tragic reminder of her Century of Dishonor.

		The initial edition of A Century of Dishonor had been exhausted, and the details of the publication of another were quite generally discussed at this informal gathering.
		Jackson was not so much displeased with the sale of the original edition of A Century of Dishonor; her disappointment related more to the apparent apathy with which it had been received by Senators, members of Congress and bureau officers having charge of Indian affairs.
		The conversation was mainly in regard to A Century of Dishonor, and the deep disappointment she felt that it had not produced that effect upon the national conscience which she had a right to expect.

		It might be useful to place the dispossession of the Poncas of lands that were traditionally theirs alongside the economic aspirations of immigrants to America and the excesses of the Gilded Age as evidenced in the literature.
		Three major themes are an understanding of those who were victimized by national goals of Manifest Destiny; the rights of those outside constitutional protection; and the dehumanization of people in the march of nineteenth-century progress.
		Concerning the theme of destruction of Indian cultures in the late nineteenth century, Indian writers like Posey, Eastman, Bonnin, and Oskison offer useful points of comparison.

		Every so often, well-intentioned non-Indians set out to write the definitive chronicle of the "plight" of American Indians, the point being to shock other non-Indians out of complacency in order to direct public attention to the appalling conditions of life in Indian country.
		Perhaps the most effective of these accounts were Helen Hunt Jackson’s 1881 "A Century of Dishonor", which played a direct role in the formation of the Indian Rights Association lobby group, and Lewis Meriam’s 1928 "The Problem of Indian Administration", which led to a significant turn in federal Indian policy.
		After all, the "dishonor" in Jackson’s "A Century of Dishonor" belonged to the whites, not the Natives; and that’s because she didn’t write a tragedy, she wrote a critique.

	UCLA AISC, A Second Century of Dishonor, ch. IV
		Since the treaties of the 1850s were not ratified by the Senate, the status of California Indian land was not clear for many years.
		Although there are 104 reservations and rancherias in California, according to BIA sources in 1990, the California Indian land that remains in tribal hands amounts to 405,172.11 acres, while 58,065.39 acres are under individual Indian ownership, usually in the form of public domain allotments.
		California Indians are forced to suffer double jeopardy, having lost most of their lands through irregular methods, and now having to suffer fewer federal administrative and budget considerations for having too little land.
