Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who can lay claim to a legally-recognized Indian identity? Who decides whether or not an individual qualifies? The right to determine tribal citizenship is fundamental to tribal sovereignty, but deciding who belongs has a complicated history, especially in the South. Indians who remained in the South following removal became a marginalized and anomalous people in an emerging biracial world. Despite the economic hardships and assimilationist pressures they faced, they insisted on their political identity as citizens of tribal nations and rejected Euro-American efforts to reduce them to another racial minority, especially in the face of Jim Crow segregation. Drawing upon their cultural traditions, kinship patterns, and evolving needs to protect their land, resources, and identity from outsiders, southern Indians constructed tribally-specific citizenship criteria, in part by manipulating racial categories - like blood quantum - that were not traditional elements of indigenous cultures. Mikaëla M. Adams investigates how six southern tribes-the Pamunkey Indian Tribe of Virginia, the Catawba Indian Nation of South Carolina, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians of North Carolina, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida-decided who belonged. By focusing on the rights and resources at stake, the effects of state and federal recognition, the influence of kinship systems and racial ideologies, and the process of creating official tribal rolls, Adams reveals how Indians established legal identities. Through examining the nineteenth and twentieth century histories of these Southern tribes, Who Belongs? quashes the notion of an essential "Indian" and showcases the constantly-evolving process of defining tribal citizenship.
Book Synopsis That the Blood Stay Pure by : Arica L. Coleman
Download or read book That the Blood Stay Pure written by Arica L. Coleman and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That the Blood Stay Pure traces the history and legacy of the commonwealth of Virginia's effort to maintain racial purity and its impact on the relations between African Americans and Native Americans. Arica L. Coleman tells the story of Virginia's racial purity campaign from the perspective of those who were disavowed or expelled from tribal communities due to their affiliation with people of African descent or because their physical attributes linked them to those of African ancestry. Coleman also explores the social consequences of the racial purity ethos for tribal communities that have refused to define Indian identity based on a denial of blackness. This rich interdisciplinary history, which includes contemporary case studies, addresses a neglected aspect of America's long struggle with race and identity.
Book Synopsis Breaking the House of Pamunkey by : Lars C. Adams
Download or read book Breaking the House of Pamunkey written by Lars C. Adams and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among today's Powhatan nations, the belief is that the original records from which we draw as source material are themselves biased, making a full picture of the entire story of history nearly impossible. According to Chief Emeritus Oliver Perry of the Nansemonds, "We were not savages, barbarians, nor heathens." The problem is that "what was written in the history books was slanted and written from the viewpoint of the so-called 'conquerors'." He also believes that the history presented in most textbooks is inaccurate, largely because it is based on the writings of English eyewitnesses, such as Smith and Strachey, who were themselves biased. They do not provide a complete picture. He, of course, is not wrong. While today's historians and anthropologists are far more culturally accepting than in decades past, it certainly presents a challenge when faced with sources that only lend to an English perspective.

Book Synopsis The Great Frontier War by : William Nester
Download or read book The Great Frontier War written by William Nester and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-02-28 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a century and a half, from 1607 to 1763, Britain and France struggled to master the eastern half of North America. They fought five blood-soaked wars and continuously provoked various Indian tribes to raise arms against each other's subjects for the mastery of the land. The last French and Indian War, from 1754 to 1760, would dwarf all previous conflicts in the number of troops, expense, geographical expanse, and total casualties. Placing the French and Indian War in a broad historical context, this study examines the struggle for North America during the two preceding centuries and includes not only the conflict between France and Britain, but also the parts played by various Indian tribes and the other European powers. The last French and Indian War makes for colorful reading with its array of inept and daring commanders, epic heroism among the troops, far-flung battles and sieges, and creaking fleets of warships. Ironically, America's most famous founder, George Washington, helped to spark the war, first by trudging through the wilderness in the dead of winter with a message from Virginia Governor Dinwiddie to the French to abandon their forts in the upper Ohio River valley, then a half year later by ordering the war's first shots when his troops ambushed Captain Jumonville, and finally when he ignominiously surrendered his force at Fort Necessity and unwittingly signed a surrender document in French naming himself Jumonville's assassin. Topical chapters discuss the economic, political, social, and military attributes of the participants, and narrative chapters examine the campaigns of the war's first two years.
