Taking Indian Lands: The Cherokee (Jerome) Commission, 1889-1893
Angebote / Angebote:
Authorized by Congress in 1889, the Cherokee Commission was formed to negotiate the purchase of huge areas of land from the Cherokees, Ioways, Pawnees, Poncas, Tonakawas, Wichitas, Cheyennes, Arapahos, Sac and Fox, and other tribes in Indian Territory. Whatever the hoped-for effects, the coerced sales opened to white settlement the vast "unused" expanses of land that had been held communally by the tribes. In "Taking Indian Lands, " William T. Hagan presents a detailed and disturbing account of the deliberations between the Cherokee Commission and the tribes.
