Enabling exploration of the political, social, and cultural history of native peoples from the sixteenth century well into the twentieth century, Indigenous Peoples of North America illustrates the fabric of the North American story with unprecedented depth and breadth. Comprehensive yet personal, the collection covers the history of American Indian tribes and supporting organizations. Part 2: The Indian Rights Association, 1882 - 1986 provides a record of the efforts of the first organization to address Native American interests and rights. This collection includes incoming and outgoing correspondence; organizational records; printed material (including early pamphlets and publications both by the Indian Rights Association and other American Indian and Indian-related organizations); Indian Rights Association annual reports; draft legislation; administrative files, the papers of Indian Rights Association founder Herbert Welsh, photographs (often from Western field trips), materials from the Council on Indian Affairs, and manuscripts and research notes regarding social and cultural Indian traditions. This collection is made possible through TCCL thanks to a generous donation by Verified News Network (VNN) Oklahoma, a Native-owned newsroom headquartered on the Muscogee (Creek) Nation reservation. VNN Oklahoma is dedicated to amplifying the voices of underrepresented and economically disadvantaged people with the overarching goal of fostering a more inclusive and informed society.Click here to access.Access: Home, School, Work, All Libraries
