Treaties Olympic is the traditional homeland of more Native American groups than any other National Park unit. A unique opportunity exists to understand the relationship between these people and the ecosystem they live in. At a time prior to what Euro-Americans call the historic period, there were approximately 10,000 people living on the Olympic Peninsula. The tribes on the peninsula were formalized through treaties in 1855. Prior to the designation of tribes, language and kinship defined the numerous village groups. Native American religion, language and subsistence practices were repressed by the influx of Euro-American culture. However, the tribal groups were able to retain their distinct cultural identity and the oral tradition that links them with the landscape of the peninsula. The Olympic mountains were divided to protect the hunting territory of certain groups. Some areas were used by several tribes, for example, an elk hunting expedition high in the Olympics was recorded by two anthropologists who said that the Quinault, Skokomish and Dosewalips all camped in the same area at the same time. They traveled into the mountains by canoe as far as possible, and then packed in the rest of the way. Visits with other tribes in the mountains were important for meeting a spouse, as it was taboo to marry someone who was a relative. In the case of the hunting camp, oral history recounts that the Quinault requested that their boy marry a Dosewalips girl. After the union, there was a huge feast, and the Quinault and Dosewalips were then related by marriage.

Extractions: The federal government has a unique and distinctive political relationship with federally recognized Indian tribes. It is defined by treaties, statutes, executive orders, judicial decisions and agreements and differs from relationships with state and local governments or other entities. It has given rise to a special federal trust responsibility, involving the legal responsibilities and obligations of the United States toward Indian tribes and the application of fiduciary standards of due care with respect to Indian lands, tribal trust resources and the exercise of tribal rights. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as a bureau of the Department of the Interior, has a mandated obligation to ensure that the federal Indian trust responsibility is fulfilled.

There are 5 federally recognized AI/AN tribes, plus an unknown number of tribes that are not federally recognized. Each tribe has its own culture, beliefs, and practices. AI/ANs have a unique relationship with the federal government due to historic conflict and subsequent treaties.

Extractions: Introduction The purpose of this pathfinder is to introduce patrons of West Virginia State College's Drain-Jordan Library to items on Native Americans, which can either be found in, or accessed from, the Drain-Jordan Library. Those items include books, magazines, journals, and CD ROM databases in the library; and online databases and web sites on the Internet. Getting Started About Library of Congress Subject Headings. Before searching the online card catalogue (VTLS), it helps to know a few Library of Congress subject headings. One method for identifying these subject headings is to look up plausible terms in the Library of Congress Subject Headings , the 5 red-bound volumes which are located on shelves in front of the Reference Desk. Another method is to locate an item that you already know is about the topic in the online catalogue, and to scroll down and click on the item's card icon to see what Subject headings have been assigned to this item. For example, the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) uses the term "Indians" for the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere. More specifically, LCSH uses "Indians of North America" for those peoples indigenous to the United States and/or Canada. Often, if an item is about one particular tribe, the item will have the tribe's name as its subject heading. "Algonquian Indians," "Comanche Indians," "Dakota Indians," "Eskimos," and "Oglala Indians"- all are a few examples of Library of Congress subject headings found by searching for a particular tribe. (In addition to entering Library of Congress subject headings, try entering "Native Americans," "American Indians," " Indigenous people," or even the name of a specific American Indian leader, when looking for information with search engines on the Internet.)

Extractions: "The utmost good faith shall always be observed towards the Indians, their lands and property shall never be taken from them without their consent, and in their property, rights and liberty, they shall never be invaded or disturbed, unless in just and lawful wars authorized by Congress." Northwest Ordinance, 13 July 1787 From the period of French trading in the 17th century to the removals of the early 19th century, the life of the Native Americans was dominated by one central theme - the growing conflict of cultures. As nomads of the woodlands, prairies, and plains, they occupied wide expanses of land where they hunted, fished, and preserved their cultural heritage. With the coming of the white man, however, Indian society and culture were threatened. Foreign ways and customs, different values and beliefs, an increasing white population in the Trans-Appalachian region, and the white man's desire for more land were some of the problems which menaced the Indians' previously unchallenged position in the wilderness. The earliest accounts of Indians in the Great Lakes region came in the 1630s from the French Jesuit missionaries who were seeking to form a civilized Christian Indian nation. These holy men envisioned Indian tribes thoroughly imbued with French culture and patriotism and serving as an extension of the French Empire in the New World. In subsequent years, French missionaries and fur traders continued to mingle with the different tribes.

Extractions: The foundation for this Policy Statement is the Federal Indian Policy Statement issued by President Reagan in January, 1983 and reaffirmed by President Bush in September, 1989. That statement affirms the special government-to-government relationship that exists between American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal governments and the Federal government. The relationship, which is as vital today as it was 200 years ago, is based on the U.S. Constitution, treaties, Federal laws, court decisions and the on-going political relationship between these entities. The relationship results in a Federal trust responsibility to Indian Tribes. The primary responsibility for implementing this relationship lies within the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the U.S. Department of the Interior. The Department of Housing and Urban Development acknowledges that the responsibility extends to the provision of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing to the members of Federally recognized Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages residing on Indian reservations and in other Indian areas.
