Oklahoma Land Openings 1889-1907 - OkGenWeb The Indian's desire to keep the Territory for their exclusive use and occupation was complicated by the rapid growth of white population on its northern, eastern, and southern borders; and when the first railroad crossed it (1870-1872), any effort to find an answer became hopeless. Indian Territory was originally founded on the principle that the land would be owned collectively by all tribal members. The Natives in Indian Territory attempted to resist allotment but in 1897 the Seminoles agreed to the Dawes Allotment Act in order to keep at least some of their land from being taken from them. marti.rootsweb.com /land/oklands.html

Fort McCulloch: Indian Territory The Indian troops have been instructed, if the enemy invades the country, to harass him, and impede his progress by every possible means, and, falling back here as he advances, to assist in holding this position against him. All the treaties with the Indians had also stipulated that they should not be taken out of their own country to fight without their consent. The Indian troops are of course entirely undisciplined, mounted chiefly on ponies, and armed very indifferently with common rifles and ordinary shot-guns. www.civilwaralbum.com /indian/mcculloch1.htm

Chickamauga Cherokee Indians - Chickamauga Cherokee Nation Indian Genealogy, Native American Genealogy Arkansas History The Cherokee Indians once inhabited great expanses of lands on the American Continent, and the earliest ancestors of the Cherokee were known to control the majority of vital waterways throughout the times known as pre-history. The Cherokee was known to exercise dominion over all the territory on the east side of the Alleghany Mountains, including the headwaters of the Yadkin, Catawba, Broad and Savannah Rivers and from there westward the Cherokee claimed the land as far as the Ohio and from there to the headwaters of the Chattahoochee and Alabama. This first ever encounter in battle between the Cherokee Indians and the White Man resulted in the English and their allies being soundly defeated by the Cherokee who proved to be far superior in warfare than the colonists. www.comanchelodge.com /chickamauga-cherokee.html

"The Indian Territory." Accordingly crowds of applicants came from all the adjacent States, and even from Northwestern States, for the first time into the Territory, claiming citizenship upon some claim of Indian blood in their veins, regardless of residence and citizenship elsewhere all their lives. Slavery in the Territory was abolished by these treaties and the tribes stipulated to receive their freedmen into perfect equality of citizenship, with the right to an allotment of a specific number of acres of their land whenever their lands were allotted. It is not necessary to enlarge upon the deplorable condition into which these elements were sure to plunge the Territory, from which its government, such as it was, in the hands of comparatively a handful of the population, could have no power to relieve it. etext.lib.virginia.edu /etcbin/toccer-new2?id=DawIndi.sgm&images=images/modeng&data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&tag=public&part=all

Carlisle Indian Industrial School History Note: I use the term "Indian" throughout this article to identify the peoples of the various autochthonous nations within the U.S. borders, who were affected by and recruited for the Indian School experiment, in keeping with the written accounts of the historic period during the school's existence. Carlisle's mission is to kill THIS Indian, as we build up the better man. We give the rising Indian something nobler and higher to think about and do, and he comes out a young man with the ambitions and aspirations of his more favored white brother. The Indians were expected to polish their buttons and shoes and clean and press their trousers. home.epix.net /~landis/histry.html

INDIAN AFFAIRS: LAWS AND TREATIES. Vol. 1, Laws Inasmuch as these Indians express a desire to be located upon a reserve, I think it very desirable that their wishes should be gratified, and that they be not permitted to again roam on the plains. In view, however, of the fact that these Indians have a reservation defined for them by treaty stipulation, legislation can be asked of Congress at the coming session to insure a permanent reservation for them where they may locate, and abandon as a reservation the present one, restoring it to the public lands.
