Stories from Montana's Enduring Frontier
Author: John Clayton
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1625840942
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
At the turn of the twentieth century, Montana started emerging from its rugged past. Permanent towns and cities, powered by mining, tourism, and trade, replaced ramshackle outposts. Yet Montana's frontier endured, both in remote pockets and in the wider cultural imagination. The frontier thus played a continuing role in Montanans' lives, often in fascinating ways. Author John Clayton has written extensively on these shifts in Montana history, chronicling the breadth of the frontier's legacy with this diverse collection of stories. Explore the remnants of Montana's frontier through stories of the Little Bighorn Battlefield, the Beartooth Highway, and the lost mining camp of Swift Current--and through legendary characters such as Charlie Russell, Haydie Yates, and "Liver-eating" Johnston.

Washoe Redux
Author: Edan Strekal
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Electronic books
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Adding to the small body of historical and ethnohistorical scholarship on the Washoe Indians, including the works of James Downs, Jo Ann Nevers, and Mathew Makley, this thesis traces the route followed by the Washoe Indians of the eastern slope of the Sierra and Great Basin toward a reorganization of a tribal status and recognition of ancestral homelands, only achieved in the latter half of the twentieth century. The discovery of valuable minerals first in California and later in Utah territory (which would become Nevada) caused an influx of population from the outside world. The lives and cultures of indigenous peoples in the Far West were forever altered by these events. The Washoe, unlike many other groups of American Indians, never entered into treaties or agreements with the federal government. In the absence of treaty recognition, the Washoe were left without any land and subsequently no homes, subsisting on the fringe of the newly arrived white society for decades to come. A major focal point of this thesis is the legal struggle of the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California before the Indians Claims Commission created in 1946 to win compensation for land and resources lost to the expansion of the American nation. The legal process brought into focus the power of expert testimony, namely the anthropologists, Dr. Julian H. Steward and his lesser-known antagonist Dr. Omer Call Stewart in determining the outcome of the ICC decisions. The contrasting arguments of two anthropological viewpoints affected the status of not only the Washoe before the Indian Claims Commission, but also marked a milestone in the development of American anthropology in the twentieth century.
