Abstract:
Writing from her position as the Office of Indian Affairs (OIA) Superintendent at the Potrero School on the Morongo (Malki) reservation in southern California in 1909, Clara D. True concluded an article on her experiences as an Anglo teacher working with American Indian populations in the United States: The more one knows of the Indian as he really is, not as he appears to the tourist, the teacher, or the preacher, the more one wonders. The remnant of knowledge that the Red Brother has is an inheritance from a people of higher thought than we have usually based our speculation upon. It is to be regretted that in dealing with the Indian we have not regarded him worthwhile until it is too late to enrich our literature and traditions with the contribution he could so easily have made. We have regarded him as a thing to be robbed and converted rather than as a being with intellect, sensibilities, and will, all highly developed, the development being one on different lines from our own as only necessity dictated. The continent was his college. The slothful student was expelled from it by President Nature. Physically, mentally, and morally, the North American Indian before the degradation at our hands was a man whom his descendants need not despise.

Abstract:
Between 1821 and 1842, Charles Bird King painted a series of portraits of Native American diplomats for Thomas L. McKenney, founding Superintendent of Indian Affairs. These pictures were hung in a gallery in McKenney's office in the War Department in Washington, DC, and were later copied by lithographers for inclusion in McKenney and James Hall's History of the Indian Tribes of the United States (1836–44). Significantly, the production and circulation of these portraits straddles a period of tremendous change in the diplomatic interactions between the United States and Native tribes. This essay analyzes a selection of these images for their complex messages about the sovereignty of Indian people and their appropriate interactions with European American culture. Paying particular attention to pictures of leaders of southern nations, including the Cherokee, Creek, and Seminole, I discuss the sitters' strategies of self-fashioning within the context of long-standing cultural exchange in the region. In addition, I offer a reading of the meaning of the Indian gallery as a whole that challenges the conventional wisdom that it is an archive produced exclusively to impose US control on the subjects included, arguing instead for the inclusion of portrait-making within this history of interaction.

Abstract:
Samuel M. Cart, superintendent of the recently opened federal boarding school in Santa Fe, New Mexico, sat down at his desk in September 1891 to write the commissioner of Indian affairs regarding his recent recruiting tour through the pueblos under his jurisdiction. The recruiting trip was in preparation for the first full school year of Santa Fe Indian School's (SFIS's) existence. Though Cart had only recently arrived, his would-be pupils belonged to communities who had lived in the region for over millennia. The Pueblos among whom Cart had just traveled had established successful agricultural committees in the arid region and developed complex social and cultural means to order and influence the world that Cart's countryman now called the American Southwest. And for generations, they had educated their children in order that their communities would survive. Now Cart, and men and women like him, had traveled to the Southwest to convince the Pueblos (and other Native American groups) that their way of life was inferior, their social–cultural complex was immoral, and their methods for educating their children were insufficient.

Abstract:
The Six Nations Iroquois played a crucial role for the British during the Seven Years' War by relaying important information, guarding posts, and defending borders. This paper analyzes four main primary sources published by men in direct contact with the Six Nations during the war: Superintendent of Northern Indian Affairs William Johnson, British General Charles Lee, University of Pennsylvania Provost William Smith, and plantation owner and British soldier Peter Williamson. Contrary to what historians have previously suggested, this paper argues that there was not a single British perception of their Six Nations allies during the Seven Years' War. Instead, there was a conflict within imperial ideology circulating among prominent British individuals. During and immediately after the conflict, British society continued to hold competing opinions on the uncertain position Indigenous peoples occupied in British North America.

Abstract:
Abstract This article explores Indigenous removal as a trans-imperial phenomenon through the writings of U.S. superintendent of Indian affairs, Thomas McKenney, and three of his British imperial counterparts—George Arthur, Charles La Trobe, and Francis Bond Head—all of whom declared themselves committed to ameliorating the condition of Indigenous people and concluded that this project necessitated Indigenous removal from proximity to British or U.S. settler populations. All four men employed stereotyped paternalistic imaginings to justify removal as the humanitarian duty of the self-proclaimed “civilized” toward Indigenous people. Yet their writing about their own proximity to actual Indigenous people—in spaces that in the 1820s and 1830s comprised the “Wests” of Anglophone expansion in North America and Australia—also reveal Indigenous bodily realities and political imperatives that instead posed dangers to these “civilized” men and their paternal schemas. Although these four Anglo-American men’s rendering of such dangerous proximities do not, of course, fully explain the causes and horrors of removal policies, they suggest the need to look at the intimate spaces of Anglo-American imperial reach to reveal otherwise unacknowledged reasons why those proclaiming genuine concern for Indigenous wellbeing would support the stark subjugation and segregation of Indigenous removal.

Abstract:
Abstract The Senate took four years to approve the treaty of 1863, and even when government agents took their place among the Nez Perces they at first were almost comically inept. A later investigation found that Idaho’s governor and superintendent of Indian affairs, Caleb Lyon, acted with “an ignorance unparalleled.” He once provided the Nez Perces with forty dozen pairs of elastic garters—but no stockings. In a public dressing-down in 1864, Lawyer said his support of Washington had left him humiliated: “I stand here . . . naked.”

Abstract Jacob Forney, territorial superintendent of Indian Affairs, arranged to have fifteen of the child survivors of the massacre transported to family members in Arkansas with a U.S. Army escort. Two of the oldest surviving children were kept in Utah as potential witnesses in legal proceedings. William C. Mitchell, who lost family members in the massacre, traveled from Arkansas to meet the children as they arrived at Fort Leavenworth. He led another escort to Carrollton, Arkansas, where family members soberly greeted the children. Meanwhile, Dr. S. B. Aden sought unsuccessfully to locate his son William, who was murdered in the massacre.

Abstract:
Abstract The vanguard company of Mormon pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in the latter part of July 1847. It was the beginning of the largest mass migration by a single group in nineteenth-century America. But moving west did not end the Mormons’ troubles. At fi rst, the federal government met the Latter-day Saints half way in their desire for self-government. In 1851 President Millard Fillmore appointed Brigham Young governor and superintendent of Indian affairs for Utah Territory. Washington split its other six territorial appointees among Mormons and non-Mormons, and the division between wary partisans virtually assured a clash.

Abstract:
Abstract Upon news of the army’s peacefully passing through Salt Lake City and peace having been achieved, thousands of Latter-day Saints return from their makeshift camps in Utah Valley to their homes in the settlements further north. The army cavalcade simultaneously headed south to Cedar Valley, west of Lehi, Utah, where they established Camp Floyd. With an army now occupying Utah, Brigham Young fears for his safety, remembering the fate of his predecessor, Joseph Smith. In southern Utah, John D. Lee, William Dame, and Isaac Haight meet, probably to discuss the fact that U.S. troops were soon expected to head to southern Utah to establish posts there. They are likely also aware that Indian Affairs superintendent Jacob Forney will soon head south to investigate the Mountain Meadows Massacre and to retrieve the surviving children. The massacre leaders remind the people of southern Utah to keep quiet about the crime.

Abstract:
Abstract Apostles George A. Smith and Amasa Lyman travel throughout southern Utah, preaching economy and self-reliance as Utah faces a disease infestation of crops. After passing through the Mountain Meadows and receiving false information about the massacre from its perpetrators, Smith, as church historian, writes a flawed report of the event, full of false motives and half-truths. This version of events essentially becomes the one that Brigham Young and Latter-day Saints accept and retell for decades. Jacob Hamblin, working as a subagent for Superintendent of Indian Affairs Jacob Forney, reports to Forney that he has ascertained the locations of most of the surviving children. Forney instructs him to gather them to his home in Santa Clara until the children can be escorted back to their relatives in Arkansas. In Arkansas, William C. Mitchell writes Forney’s superior with a list of the families he believes the children may be part of.

Abstract:
Abstract Jacob Hamblin reaches Provo from southern Utah, where he shares with George A. Smith what he has learned about the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Hamblin then goes to the abandoned Salt Lake City, where he seeks out Governor Alfred Cumming. Cumming sends Hamblin to see Utah’s new federally appointed superintendent of Indian Affairs, Jacob Forney, who had been directed by his superiors in Washington to search for the rumored surviving children. Hamblin tells Forney that he knows where some of the survivors are, including some who are living in his own home. Hamblin gives a partly accurate account of the massacre to Forney. Not long later, General Albert Sidney Johnston and his troops finally reach the Salt Lake Valley and march through an empty but beautiful Salt Lake City, camping outside the city limits as agreed upon. A peace conference is held, the Mormons accept the presidential pardon, and peace is achieved.

Abstract:
Abstract Ulysses S. Grant’s campaign slogan in the 1868 presidential race conveys the central message of the era: “Let us have peace.” As Grant’s Commissioner for Indian Affairs, Seneca leader Ely Parker promoted an alternative vision of US–Native American relations. Author Helen Hunt Jackson presented a scathing history of the nation’s treatment of Native peoples in A Century of Dishonor, and she offered Mexican Catholicism as an alternative to Anglo-Saxon law in Ramona. In Queen of the Woods, Potawatomi author Simon Pokagon echoed themes of interwoven cultures and harmonious expressions from Ramona in the context of the Native Michigan woodlands. In Pokagon’s novel, Catholic priests pose a threat to these harmonies, while alcohol presents a common enemy with the potential to unite Americans in a battle for social peace.
