1 gen 1903 anni - Lone WOlf v. Hitchcock

Descrizione:

Before:
"From the Indians’ point of view, reformers often became just another interest group in a crowded field of whites sending hopelessly mixed messages. The attitudes of individual army representatives, agents, and missionaries ranged from courageous and sympathetic to utterly ruthless. Many times, after chiefs thought they had reached a face-to-face agreement, they found it drastically altered by Washington bureaucrats....Back in the 1830s, the U.S. Supreme Court had declared Indians no longer sovereign but rather “domestic dependent nations.” On a practical basis, however, both the U.S. Senate and agents in the field continued to negotiate treaties as late as 1869. Two years later, the House of Representatives, jealous of Senate privileges, passed a bill to abolish all treaty making with Indians. The Senate agreed, provided that existing treaties remained in force. It was one more step in a long, torturous erosion of Native rights."


A 1903 Supreme Court ruling that Congress could make whatever Indian policies it chose, ignoring all existing treaties.


same year: ex parte Crow dog (court said Indains were not citizens unless congress "designated him so", making native Americans warsd of teh government), this and the previous rulings stayed in places until the 1930's new deal
