Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties

[clw]

Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties, compiled and edited by Charles J. Kappler, is an historically significant, seven volume compilation of U.S. treaties, laws and executive orders pertaining to Native American Indian tribes. The volumes cover U.S. Government treaties with Native Americans from 1778-1883 (Volume II) and U.S. laws and executive orders concerning Native Americans from 1871-1970 (Volumes I, III-VII). The work was first published in 1903-04 by the U.S. Government Printing Office. Enhanced by the editors' use of margin notations and a comprehensive index, the information contained in Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties is in high demand by Native peoples, researchers, journalists, attorneys, legislators, teachers and others of both Native and non-Native origins.

Ah, Miyelo. The book budget has been asborbed by the need to eat. And buy feed and hay. And cat food and dog food. And chickenfeed. I think that's everybody. If not for this unfortunate circumstance, I would have bought your film long ago. It looks excellent! (Got any extra commods? ;D)

Geez, I've stopped watching the news. It's too scary.

[miyelo]

I know what u mean. Gotta eat.Commods are worse than ever lately.ugh.and they wonder why skins are addicted to junk food. Duh.

[miyelo]

Oh and I stopped watching the news when Bush was "elected"

I tried to warn folks that his eyes were too close together. No one listened.

It was the little tic he had around his mouth when he finished a sentence [whenever he actually finished one] that did it for me. As if he were still dribbling something out of his mouth, as opposed to the drivel which had already spewed forth.

BTW - He still doesn't think that gasoline will ever hit 4 dollars a gallon, and that the financial system is "basically sound."

And so it goes, Billy Pilgrim, so it goes..........................

Please . . . . We'll all get enough of politics in the months to come, and there are plenty of other places to discuss it.

Huge part of NDN history that should not be ignored. But I fully understand your point and will refrain from naming living names in the future.

[biggordie]

Me too. Sorry, Diane, and folks - I got carried away [which I often do].

Sorry Wolf,

I googled a bit and found some entries about several "Belle Streeter"s, but without more information on the person you look for, I/we cannot help you further, I´m afraid.

Sorry again

Wolf,

I found a Belle Streeter from Middleville, Michigan (8 Feb 1884 - Jan 1976)

and a Minnie Johnson from there (26 Apr 1874 - Dec 1970)

They could have been sisters. If those are not the women you are looking for, run an lnternet search for Florida Indian Tribes. You will find sites that can help you more than we can. We hope to expand to the Florida tribes at some point, but it will be a while.
