American Indians and the American West, 1809-1971ProQuest
American Indians and the American West, 1809-1971 is part of ProQuest History Vault’s category of collections on American Politics and Society.
This module consists of a variety of collections from the U.S. National Archives, a series of collections from the Chicago History Museum, as well as selected first-hand accounts on Indian Wars and westward migration.
One of the highlights of this module is the focus on American Indians in the first half of the 20th century, a period that has not been studied in as much detail as the calamitous 19th century.
The two major collections from the 20th Century are the Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and records from the Major Council Meetings of American Indian Tribes. In addition, there are a number of excellent collections on American Indians in the 19th century, with a focus on the interaction among white settlers, the U.S. Federal government and Indian tribes, particularly in the aftermath of the American Civil War.
Other records highlight the tensions caused by westward expansion of the post-Civil War years. A series of records on Indian Removal to the West rounds out this collection, consisting of letters and reports by Indian agents, government employees, individual Indians and other citizens about the removal process.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

22. • A(n).. attack was made on the soldiers…
our lives were in danger…(so) three or
four soldiers fired (at the crowd)… The
crowd ran away, except three men who
died…I asked the soldiers why they fired
without orders, they said they heard the
word “fire” and thought it came from
me. This might be true because many
people in the crowd called out “fire”
“fire” but… I didn’t give this order.

man from the US war of independence.
Interpretation?
26. “Still photographs are the most powerful
weapon in the world. People believe
them, but photographs do lie, even
without manipulation. They are only half-
truths. It didn’t say: What would you do
if you were the general at that time and
place on that hot day, and you caught
the so-called bad guy after he blew away
one, two or three American soldiers?’”

But the Vietcong didattack. Many people
were killed in the Vietcong attacks. Just
before the photo was taken, several of the
general’s men had been killed by Viet
Cong.

• Who is paying the person who is writing it?

Analysing:
33. Take care to discard prejudices
The Japanese protester:
‘Oppose the new security
treaty, Down with the Kishi
Cabinet! Dissolve the Diet!’
The Chinese demonstrator:
‘Oppose the Japan-U.S.
military treaty, Support the
struggle of the Japanese
people’
34. Confucius 孔子 551 BC - 479 BC
Study the past if
you want to
make the
future.
42. E. H. Carr (1892-1982) Historian
"The role off the
historian is neither to
love the past nor to
free himself from the
past, but to master
and understand it as
the key to the
understanding of the
present."
43. But
• Sometimes it’s not possible to find the truth,
and sometimes there are different truths that
contradict.
• History should be faced bravely. All countries
have terrible things in their past (and present).
• History should be used to create
understanding and a better future.
