Hello All, I just needed to share this information and blow off some steam. I went into Border's bookstore last night to find some Native American books I had seen on-line. I went to the history section and there were cases and cases of Afro-American, Arab, Korean, Irish, Scottish, Japanese, Chinese, Celts. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Then, I went to the language section. They were English, Italian, Iraqi, Arab, Spanish, French, Russian, German, Japanese. Again, the list goes on and on. Do you want to know what I found on Native Americans? There were 5 shelves not completely filled in the history section and nothing in the language area. I felt really hurt that Border's seems uninterested in promoting our Native American history or language. I would suggest we all start to advocate our heritage to all around us. We should have a movie similar to the Afro-American story "Roots". At least the Afro-Americans can trace their history back to Africa. Heck, they could even go back there and live as they were. Their culture still exists and has not changed. Not so, for our native history. We are going to have to do some big time pushing to get others to see we want our story heard and our culture back. If you have gotten this far in reading, thank you for listening. :-) I'd love to hear your comments on the subject. Thanks again. Paula (Williams) McLeod

April 10, 1837 This date in 1837 was the last day that the Seminoles were to report to Tampa Bay, Florida for transport to the Indian Territory. This was part of the Treaty Agreement signed on March 06, 1837. Prior to this date, General Jessup had already reneged on one of the provisions of the Treaty. He permitted white slave hunters to come among the Indians to seek out blacks whom they claimed as runaway slaves. Because of this, many Seminoles doubted if the United States government would live up to the Agreement. Many Seminoles would disappeared into the woods to avoid being moved.

The Legislation known as "The Scalp Act" was enforced on this day in 1756 Governor Robert Morris declared war on the Delaware & Shawnee Indians. As a part of his declaration, he offered the following bounties: For prisoners: - men over 12 150 Spanish pieces of eight - women or boys 130 Spanish pieces of eight For scalps: - men 130 Spanish pieces of eight - women and boys 50 Spanish pieces of eight NOTE: The bounty on scalps led to the murder of many innocent Natives who were not members of the Delaware or Shawnee tribes.

My best woman friend for over 20 years is a Whitnall. John Rolfe was her Uncle! But, she is descended down from John Rolfes Brother. She sure looks part Indian though and we wondered if anyone knows if John Rolfes Brother ever married an Indian as well???

POCAHONTAS MARRIES JOHN ROLFE: April 5, 1614 Pocahontas, daughter of the chief of the Powhatan Indian confederacy, marries English tobacco planter John Rolfe in Jamestown, Virginia. The marriage ensured peace between the Jamestown settlers and the Powhatan Indians for several years. In May 1607, about 100 English colonists settled along the James River in Virginia to found Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America. The settlers fared badly because of famine, disease, and Indian attacks, but were aided by 27-year-old English adventurer John Smith, who directed survival efforts and mapped the area. While exploring the Chickahominy River in December 1607, Smith and two colonists were captured by Powhatan warriors. At the time, the Powhatan confederacy consisted of around 30 Tidewater-area tribes led by Chief Wahunsonacock, known as Chief Powhatan to the English. Smith's companions were killed, but he was spared and released, (according to a 1624 account by Smith) because of the dramatic intercession of Pocahontas, Chief Powhatan's 13-year-old daughter. Her real name was Matoaka, and Pocahontas was a pet name that has been translated variously as "playful one" and "my favorite daughter. "In 1608, Smith became president of the Jamestown colony, but the settlement continued to suffer. An accidental fire destroyed much of the town, and hunger, disease, and Indian attacks continued. During this time, Pocahontas often came to Jamestown as an emissary of her father, sometimes bearing gifts of food to help the hard-pressed settlers. She befriended the settlers and became acquainted with English ways. In 1609, Smith was injured from a fire in his gunpowder bag and was forced to return to England. After Smith's departure, relations with the Powhatan deteriorated and many settlers died from famine and disease in the winter of 1609-10. Jamestown was about to be abandoned by its inhabitants when Baron De La Warr (also known as Delaware) arrived in June 1610 with new supplies and rebuilt the settlement --- the Delaware River and the colony of Delaware were later named after him. John Rolfe also arrived in Jamestown in 1610 and two years later cultivated the first tobacco there, introducing a successful source of livelihood that would have far-reaching importance for Virginia. In the spring of 1613, English Captain Samuel Argall took Pocahontas hostage, hoping to use her to negotiate a permanent peace with her father. Brought to Jamestown, she was put under the custody of Sir Thomas Gates, the marshal of Virginia. Gates treated her as a guest rather than a prisoner and encouraged her to learn English customs. She converted to Christianity and was baptized Lady Rebecca. Powhatan eventually agreed to the terms for her release, but by then she had fallen in love with John Rolfe, who was about 10 years her senior. On April 5, 1614, Pocahontas and John Rolfe married with the blessing of Chief Powhatan and the governor of Virginia.Their marriage brought a peace between the English colonists and the Powhatans, and in 1615 Pocahontas gave birth to their first child, Thomas. In 1616, the couple sailed to England. The so-called Indian Princess proved popular with the English gentry, and she was presented at the court of King James I. In March 1617, Pocahontas and Rolfe prepared to sail back to Virginia. However, the day before they were to leave, Pocahontas died, probably of smallpox, and was buried at the parish church of St. George in Gravesend, England. John Rolfe returned to Virginia and was killed in an Indian massacre in 1622. After an education in England, their son Thomas Rolfe returned to Virginia and became a prominent citizen. John Smith returned to the New World in 1614 to explore the New England coast. On another voyage of exploration in 1614, he was captured by pirates but escaped after three months of captivity. He then returned to England, where he died in 1631.

Native Americans on the Oregon Trail ========================== Relationships ========= The first section of the Oregon Trail bisected two major Native American tribes--the Cheyenne to the north and the Pawnee to the south. The emigrants worried about both. But the expected attacks did not come. In fact, there were many instances of Native American kindness --- helping pull out stuck wagons; rescuing drowning emigrants; even rounding up lost cattle. Most of the encounters with Native Americans were simple business transactions. The emigrants offered clothes, tobacco or rifles, in exchange for Native American horses or food. Within a few years, the emigrants had overgrazed the prairie grasses, burned all the available firewood, and depleted the buffalo. Soon many tribes along the Platte were impoverished. The emigrants worried a great deal about possible Native American attacks, but very few were ever actually killed by the native tribes. Grattan Massacre ============ Perhaps the most important confrontation with the native tribes occurred near Ft. Laramie in 1854, and became known as the Grattan Massacre. It began innocently enough --- a single cow wandered away from an emigrant wagon train. When the cow showed up at a nearby Sioux village, the tribe promptly ate it. An aggressive Lt. Grattan and 28 men then left Fort Laramie with a single objective --- punish the Sioux. The Sioux recognized their error and offered a horse in return for the cow, but Grattan wasn't interested. He ordered his men to fire on the tribe. The Sioux chief told his warriors to withhold retaliation. Grattan fired again and killed the chief. Strikes and counterstrikes escalated into all-out war --- the battles continued for decades. Massacre Rocks Incident ================== For years, the Hudson's Bay Company had been a stabilizing force on the Native Americans who lived near the Snake River --- but when the British fur-trading company pulled out in the early 1850s, attacks on emigrants increased substantially. The best-known incident happened near Massacre Rocks in what is now Southern Idaho. On August 9th, 1862 the attack came without warning. Within minutes, five emigrants were dead. The next morning the survivors regrouped and fought back. Emigrant John Hilman: "Thirty men went in pursuit of the Indians and found them seven miles distant. At first fire from the Indians, two thirds of the men turned and ran." In the resulting battle, four more emigrants were killed. After hearing about this battle (and several others) many wagon trains took an alternate route --- the Goodale Cutoff --- which steered clear of any "agitated" Native Americans along the Snake River. The cutoff skirted the edges of a strange set of geologic formations now known as Craters of the Moon. Yet even at the height of the Native American troubles, the majority of the emigrant wagons stayed on the main route along the south side of the Snake River. Bear River Massacre =============== By the early 1860s, many felt a need to punish the tribes along the Trail. Col. Patrick Conner, stationed in Salt Lake City, was among those who wanted to teach the Native Americans a lesson. In January of 1863 Conner and his California Volunteers marched north to the Bear River. There, Conner's men brutally killed 400 Shoshoni men, women and children. More Native Americans died at Bear River than any other battle in western history. This grotesque attempt at genocide did have its intended effect. The Trail was safe for the emigrants --- for a while. But word of the Bear Rive Massacre, and a similar event in Sand Creek Colorado, soon spread to tribes across the west. Natve Americans had had enough --- and they were about to begin fighting back. B.B.

April 04 1840: Comanche Chief Piava arranged an exchange of 2 prisoners with the residents of San Antonio. Two captives from each side are exchanged.

Hi, Has anyone run across info for Cecelia McCulloch (or similar)? She is present on Mackinac Island censuses as early as 1810, but I haven't found anything else about her (I'll be getting the St. Anne's CD as soon as they reopen next month). I've checked the archives here and a number of treaties and fur trader lists with no luck. According to her daughter's later census listings Cecelia's husband was Scottish, but he never appears on any of the censuses. I believe her children were Samuel m. Sophie LaLonde and Caroline m. 1843 Francois Jannelle(1), m. 1847 Felix Cadieux (2). Thanks in advance for your help. Karen

Hi All Transcribed the following ffrom a little northeastern Minnesota town newspaper that had a population of less than 400 people in 1910. This lady and her sisters need to be continuously honored. Can you imagine! Lyda Conley and sisters Helena and Ida were of KNOWN native descent, fought for an Indian cause and won. They stood an armed vigil over the property for years. Not only did they win but Lyda became the first woman, and also of Indian descent, to appear before the US Supreme Court. ================================================================= Tower News - February 25, 1910 Miss Lydia Conley Pleads with Supreme Court for Peace for Her Ancestors. Kansas City, Kas. -- Lydia Conley, last of the once powerful Wyandottes, has returned from her trip to Washington full of hope that the supreme court of the United States will let the ashes of her forefathers lie in peace. The little cemetery on Minnesota avenue, the main business street of this city, lies almost hidden between the big buildings that border it on either side.The hum of traffic rattles through the busy thoroughfare. THe artery of the hustling city throbs all about where the ashes fo the old chiefs lie. Miss Conley, who has just pleaded the cause of her ancestors before the highest court in the land, believes they will be left in peace. The city seeks to condemn the old cemetery and turn it into a park. Miss Conley, who, with her sisters, armed with rifles, once defended the old cemetery against city intrusion, is a lawyer. The city has carried its case clear up to the supreme court. Miss Conley has fought successfully thus far to prevent molestation of her ancestors. she is a quiet little woman, without the least facial characteristicof Indian forbears, but they do say her address stirred the great judges deeply, and she clings to the belief that at any rate while she lives, the old Huron warriors will be allowed to slumber in peace. ================================================================= Her tombstone reads: Eliza Burton Conley Departed this life May 28, 1946 Attorney at Law ONLY WOMAN EVER ADMITTED TO THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT NO! She lost her case but won the war. In 1971 jstice did prevail and their struggle was nationally recognized, forever honored and for all time etched into history by the placing of the cemetery on the National Register of Historic Sites.

Hi Kimberly, I too have the family name in my background. On the NARA Indian School Files in Chicago, Illinois lists names of students from Leelanau County, & Mt. Pleasant Indian Schools. My Grandmother married a Frank Wahboose also known as Wabasis. You could go online and look at the list. This family is new. Yes they are Native American. Wahboose means "Rabbit". My Grandmother also married James Tabasagezhick - this is my line. If you have any more questions e-mail me at pops.rods@verizon.net.
