The Value of Words – Wampum in Iroquois Diplomatic Petitions of the Removal Era
A Duty to Protect and Respect
When pressured to remove after the 1830 Indian Removal Act, some from among the Seneca appealed to the federal government to prevent displacement. In these letters and petitions, their authors periodically invoked the notion of protection, an instrument of cross-cultural diplomatic encounters of the previous century. Seneca authors sought to defend their tribe against settler takeover by invoking two different kinds of protection, external and in…
Thomas Biolsi. Power and Progress on the Prairie
Thomas Biolsi’s Power and Progress on the Prairie: Governing People on Rosebud Reservation utilizes the work of French philosopher Michel Foucault to investigate a series of case studies about governing in Rosebud Country. Biolsi studies how state actors came to conceive of a range of “problems,” which they sought to then solve through remedies by applying their ideas about progress and modernity. These notions were directed to Indian and non-Ind…

Appeals to Civilization and Customary “Forest Diplomacy”
Appeals to Civilization and Customary “Forest Diplomacy”Arguments against Removal in Letters Written by the Iroquois, 1830–1857 Claudia B. Haake (bio) In this essay I argue that in order to try and persuade the U.S. government that it was unnecessary to exile them from their lands in the East to the west of the Mississippi under the removal policy, member tribes of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy of the northeastern United States had to …
In the Same Predicament as Heretofore
This article discusses the arguments made by Seneca supporters of the United States' removal policy and notes the similarity of these arguments to those made by the policy's Iroquois supporters. Yet while one group used their criticisms as a way of rejecting removal, the other instead sought to shape it. I conclude that the main difference distinguishing the argumentation of the opposing groups was their use of the concept of law, with the remova…
Iroquois Use of Customary Haudenosaunee and United States Law in Opposing Removal
This article seeks to explain the nature of the arguments the Iroquois presented to the US government in trying to prevent their removal. In the letters they wrote to the federal government from the 1830s to the 1850s they emphasized their own law as well as that of the United States. They drew on whatever perception of law they deemed was best suited to address the problems they were facing. The process by which they composed these letters, the …
The State, Removal and Indigenous Peoples in the United States and Mexico, 1620-2000
This book investigates the forced migration of the Delawares in the United States and the Yaquis in Mexico, focusing primarily on the impact removal from tribal lands had on the (ethnic) identity of these two indigenous societies. It analyzes Native responses to colonial and state policies to determine the practical options that each group had in dealing with the states in which they lived. Haake convincingly argues that both nation-states aimed …
Race, nation, and market
Identity, Sovereignty, and Power
On 8 April 1867 the Native American tribes of the Cherokees and Delawares, under United States supervision, signed an agreement facilitating the removal of the Delawares to the Cherokee lands in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). 1 The terms of this agreement came to be responsible for several legal disagreements between the two nations in the nineteenth century, as well as a drawn-out legal fight in the twentieth century in which the Delaw…
