COLLECTION OVERVIEW
Since its founding in 1922, the Association on American Indian Affairs (AAIA) has promoted
the rights of more than 300 Native American tribes throughout the United States. Over the
course of its history, the Association has stood on the forefront of battles for Native American
rights, from protection of land and water resources and the right of self-determination to the right
to worship freely and to secure equal educational opportunity for their children. The work of the
Association has embraced eight areas of concern to Native Americans: education, economic
development, health and sanitation, land tenure, irrigation, preservation of culture and religion,
tribal sovereignty, and youth. Among its major achievements was its role as catalyst for the
enactment of the Indian Child Welfare Act in 1978.
The Association on American Indian Affairs Archives document the role of this important
twentieth-century Native American advocacy organization. This microfilm edition of the
Archives is filmed from the holdings of the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library at Princeton
University. The Archives, which include materials dating from 1922 to 1983, are one of the most
comprehensive research collections on the struggles of Native Americans in the twentieth
century. Correspondence, minutes, reports, articles, clippings, and other printed materials
provide a wealth of valuable information for researchers. Most of the records are unique and
cannot be found in any other collection. To cite just one example, rare materials from 1920s and
1930s illuminate early efforts in the pursuit of Native American rights, which in turn influenced
many later initiatives.
Native America, Series 2, the AAIA General and Tribal Files, 1851-1983 document the work of
the AAIA. The large and comprehensive general subject files deal with matters of national scope
and reflect the importance the AAIA attached to effecting change in Washington. These files are
distinguished by materials concerning a wide array of organizations, government agencies, key
people, legislation, selected court cases, and issues of concern to Native Americans. Particularly
well represented are the American Indian Development Corporation, the American Indian Policy
Review Commission, the Association of Contract Tribal Schools, and the National Congress of
American Indians. Of special interest are the files relating to the Association’s vexed relationship
with Commissioners of Indian Affairs Dillon Myer and Glenn Emmons in the 1950s, both of
whom advocated termination of federal responsibilities for Native Americans.
The single largest component of the Archives is the tribal files, which consist of significant and
rare materials related to more than 300 tribes and document the Association’s work on local
issues with the tribes. These files are organized alphabetically, initially by state and then by tribe,
organization, or other subject.
Taken together, the AAIA general and tribal files provide a wealth of materials for researchers
interested in Native American studies, American studies, economics, U.S. history, social welfare
studies, and ethnic studies.

INTRODUCTION
A better understanding of the role played by the Association on American Indian Affairs (AAIA)
may be gained by looking at an overview of Indian reform groups. This overview also shows
some but not all of the problems documented in the AAIA Papers.
History of the Native American Reform Movement
By 1900 the most prominent Indian reform group was the Indian Rights Association (IRA) of
Philadelphia. Founded in 1882, the IRA sought to “civilize” and assimilate Indians by making
them citizens. These goals were to be achieved by education, Christian conversion, and
individualizing tribal property. The IRA maintained a Washington agent who monitored the
Indian Office activities and congressional legislation. During the summers, IRA representatives
visited Indian reservations to investigate various trouble spots. Although the IRA often criticized
the Indian Office, especially its dishonest field workers, its overall philosophy conformed closely
to the government’s policies. Both the office and government policies sought ways for Indians
to be assimilated into white society, and Native American traditions were perceived to be
obstacles to this agenda.
In the early 1920s three new Indian reform groups emerged in response to the Bursum Bill of
1922. This legislation sought to settle land disputes between the Pueblo Indians and non-Indians
who settled after 1848 on Pueblo holdings in the Rio Grande Valley. Galvanized by the extreme
bias against Pueblo claims, Santa Fe artists, anthropologists, and writers organized the New
Mexico Association on Indian Affairs (NMAIA). Also in opposition to the Bursum Bill, some
New York City residents formed the Eastern Association on Indian Affairs (EAIA) in December
1922. EAIA founders owned property in Santa Fe and were interested the life and arts of the
Pueblo in the Rio Grande Valley. The NMAIA and the EAIA cooperated closely in the early
years. In this battle, John Collier, a former social worker, took the lead against the Bursum Bill;
he formed his own group, the American Indian Defense Association (AIDA), in May 1923.
Collier’s group was headquartered in New York City, but it also established branches on the
West Coast.
John Collier’s Divisive Role
The NMAIA, EAIA, and AIDA represented a significant shift from prevailing assimilation
goals. Though most of these activists probably believed in the eventual assimilation of Indians,
they tended to be much more tolerant of Indian cultures. Second, the reform groups, especially
Collier’s AIDA, were willing to attack the Indian Office directly. Collier, for example, saw
defeating the Bursum Bill as the first step in a complete overhaul of the Indian Office. He
attempted to do exactly that when he served as Commissioner of Indian Affairs from 1933 to
1945.
Almost from the beginning, however, members of the NMAIA and the EAIA were suspicious of
John Collier. Concerned about antagonizing the government, the two associations favored a
revision of the Bursum Bill, while Collier demanded totally new legislation and focused his
criticism on Secretary of Interior Albert B. Fall and Commissioner of Indian Affairs Charles R.
Burke. In the midst of the legislative battle, Collier fired Francis Wilson, a popular Santa Fe
attorney, because he had endorsed a compromise bill. The final break came when Collier met
Pueblo leaders at Santo Domingo Pueblo in August 1923 without first consulting the NMAIA.
vii
When Collier presented a draft bill to the Pueblo leaders that the NMAIA thought promised too
much, one NMAIA representative tried to table the measure. After this move was rejected, the
NMAIA leaders bolted the meeting. The Pueblo Land Act finally passed in 1924; it set terms for
the eviction of settlers on Indian land, but its results proved disappointing. Collier continued to
take a very active role in Indian reforms after 1924; however, the EAIA faded sharply.
Oliver La Farge Joins EAIA
A major boost for the EAIA came in February 1930 when Oliver La Farge joined the board of
directors. A promising anthropologist and winner of the 1930 Pulitzer Prize for Laughing Boy, a
novel about the Navajo, La Farge quickly schooled himself on Indian affairs and assisted the
EAIA’s Indian health program and its encouragement of Indian arts and crafts. Unfortunately,
La Farge was badly embarrassed when he and anthropologist and EAIA president, Herbert
Spinden, appeared before the 1931 Senate hearings to defend Herbert Hagerman, a New Mexico
leader who had worked on the Pueblo Land Board and organized a new Navajo tribal council.
Collier claimed that Hagerman was honest but incompetent and should be removed from office.
Armed with information from Collier, the senators successfully dominated over the ill-prepared
and weak defense of La Farge and Spinden.
In 1932 La Farge opposed the election of Franklin Roosevelt, and he resisted John Collier’s
subsequent appointment as Indian commissioner. Spinden resigned the presidency of the EAIA,
and several members suggested that the group disband. La Farge fought off dissolution and, not
surprisingly, found himself elected president of the EAIA. Once in command, La Farge learned
that a half-dozen “angels” supported the EAIA and discouraged recruiting new members. The
organization consisted of only eighteen people, six fewer than the number on the board of
directors. Within a year, La Farge increased membership to 180 and restored the health program
and payment of field representatives. In 1933 the EAIA changed its name to the National
Association on Indian Affairs to suggest that it was more than a regional organization.
More remarkable than the survival of the EAIA, La Farge and Collier ignored their past
differences after Collier became Indian commissioner in 1933 and began to cooperate closely.
One reason for their rapport was their shared belief in the “practical application of social science
to the problems of Indian administration.” As a result, Collier appointed La Farge to help devise
a written system of Navajo, and later the commissioner asked him to organize a tribal
government for the Hopi. La Farge also supported the Collier administration during the
government’s controversial livestock reductions on the Navajo reservation and its attempts to
revise the Navajo tribal council. La Farge sometimes suggested modifying Navajo programs, but
basically he stood behind the government’s efforts.
NAIA and AIDA Join to Form New Group
Both the NAIA and the AIDA struggled in the period after 1933. By 1935, for example, the
NAIA could support only one field nurse and was scrambling to fund its publications. The
AIDA suffered because many of its members believed the organization’s work was done once
Collier became commissioner. The two organizations quietly joined in June 1937, calling the
combined group the American Association on Indian Affairs. In 1946 it would become the
Association on American Indian Affairs (AAIA).
The new organization faced continual problems. Wealthy patrons stopped contributing because
they disliked the New Deal and Collier’s Indian policies. La Farge, who supported himself with
viii
freelance writing, actually ran the association out of his home. World War II practically
stalemated the AAIA’s work. Moris Burge, a veteran field representative, entered government
service; La Farge resigned and became a historical officer for the Air Transport Service; and
Haven Emerson, former president of the AIDA, was left to take charge of the AAIA until 1948.
La Farge returned in 1946, resumed as president in 1948, and saw the AAIA really come of age.
Alexander Lesser, an anthropologist, became a full-time executive director. Felix Cohen, author
of the seminal Handbook of Federal Indian Law (1940), served as legal counsel, and in 1950 the
AAIA established a legal committee. The AAIA engaged a fund-raising company in 1948 and
vastly increased its revenues. La Farge now could delegate authority while retaining control
over general policies from his Santa Fe home.
The strengthening of the AAIA came at a critical time. John Collier resigned in early 1945, and
the Indian Office entered a period of drift. In 1950 Dillon S. Myer, a professional administrator,
became commissioner and launched a controversial policy of withdrawing federal services from
Indians. Myer asserted that state or local governments should assume responsibilities for Indian
welfare.
Post–World War II AAIA Actions
In 1949 a bill was introduced for “the rehabilitation of the Navajo and Hopi tribes.” When the
measure reached the House of Representatives, Antonio Fernandez introduced an amendment to
extend state legal jurisdiction over the two reservations, and he also called for the federal
government to pay for 80 percent of the states’ normal share of Social Security benefits to
Indians. The AAIA helped persuade President Harry S. Truman to veto the amended bill.
Congress approved a new measure six months later. Another example was Felix Cohen’s filing
briefs amici curiae in suits by Indians in New Mexico and Arizona to win their right to vote in
1948. The Supreme Court of Arizona and a special panel of federal judges in New Mexico
overturned the two states’ previous bans on Indian voting. The AAIA also defended the fishing
rights of Aleut at Karluk, Alaska, and fought off Myer’s attempt to restrict tribes from selecting
their own attorneys.
Eisenhower Administration Is Unhelpful
With the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952, La Farge and other AAIA leaders expected
improved Indian policies, but just the opposite took place. The Eisenhower campaign promise to
consult with Indians on major changes was ignored when Congress in 1953 passed Public Law
280, which allowed states to extend jurisdiction over reservations. The same session approved
House Concurrent Resolution 108 that called for an end to Indian tribes’ special legal status. In
February 1954 a joint congressional committee began hearings on “terminating” individual
tribes. Termination meant the federal government would cease to honor its established
responsibilities regarding tribes, transfer these commitments to states or local governments, and
distribute tribal assets either to the tribes or to individuals. Some twelve tribes underwent
termination between 1954 and 1964.
Fighting Tribal Termination Brings Administrative Changes
To fight termination, the AAIA joined forces with the National Congress of American Indians
(NCAI), an important all-Indian organization founded in 1944, with several other reform groups,
and with John Collier. La Farge, in particular, was incensed by termination and in 1954 called
the policy “the most wholesale and heartless attack upon surviving Indians . . . that has occurred
ix
in the entire history of the Republic.” The real motive behind the policy, he insisted, was white
people’s intention to gain control over natural resources belonging to the Indians. La Farge was
correct, especially regarding the Klamath of Oregon and the Menominee of Wisconsin. These
tribes controlled extremely rich timberlands.
In the midst of the termination battles, the AAIA suffered an internal crisis. Alexander Lesser,
the executive director since 1947, became increasingly assertive and demanding, alienating many
on the board of directors. Lesser was also almost fanatical in his opposition to cooperating with
the NCAI. La Farge had some reservations, but he saw the NCAI as a growing and positive
force. In mid-1956, Lesser resigned under pressure, and his assistant, LaVerne Madigan, became
executive director. Her tenure proved highly successful.
Though low-keyed, Madigan was a “take-charge, self-confident individual” with enormous
persistence. She shifted the AAIA’s focus even more to a national scope. She united, for
example, several Indian groups in Florida in order to settle land claims and create an economic
assistance program. Her “We Shake Hands” program tried to tackle the problems of Northern
Plains Indians, but it received little cooperation from the Eisenhower administration. Madigan
also initiated important work in Alaska where unsettled land claims after statehood in 1959
threatened native peoples. Madigan’s dynamic leadership became important when La Farge’s
health began to fail. Unfortunately, she was killed in a riding accident in 1962, and La Farge
died the following year.
After Madigan, William Byler became executive director and served until 1980. Writer Alden
Stevens took over La Farge’s post from 1964 to 1968. Roger Ernst, former assistant secretary of
interior, headed the AAIA from 1968 to 1973, at which time Alfonso Ortiz, a San Juan Pueblo,
became the first Indian to lead the group. Ortiz remained until 1988 when Joy Hanley, a Navajo
educator, took the reins. Executive directors in the period included Steven Unger (1980–1985),
Idrim Resnick (1985–1989), and Gary Kimble, the first Native American to hold the post (1989–
1994).
Indians Take Charge and Create Change
The environment of Indian affairs changed greatly in the 1960s. Termination created much more
militant groups, such as the National Indian Youth Council (NIYC) and the American Indian
Movement (AIM). These groups lashed out against the Indian Office for serious failures and
accused the NCAI and tribal leaders of being government pawns and out of touch with grassroots
Indian movements. Largely consisting of young urbanites, AIM, NIYC, and similar militant
groups grabbed headlines with protest marches and dramatic occupations of Alcatraz, the Bureau
of Indian Affairs building in Washington, and Wounded Knee in South Dakota.
During the same period, the tribes also became much more active. Indian leaders developed
much stronger and more sophisticated views on tribal rights regarding sovereign power over
reservations. They also became much more willing to turn to courts to protect tribal rights and
resources. The Native American Rights Fund of Boulder, Colorado, a legal group, played a
significant role in assisting tribes with limited resources. Finally, tribes broke the Indian Office’s
monopoly over Indian affairs. Tribal leaders regularly lobbied the federal government, devised
effective publicity, and successfully applied for grants.
The new environment meant that the AAIA still worked on issues, but it increasingly did so in
conjunction with tribal governments. Past problems such as education, health, and land and
x
water rights remained major concerns, but new causes such as protecting holy sites and
repatriation of sacred objects and remains came to the fore. Clearly, the days when tribes were
powerless and lacked the knowledge to fight their own battles had come to an end. The “helped
[had] become the helper.” The AAIA became an all-Indian organization in 1995, and soon it
closed the New York office and moved to Sisseton, South Dakota.
Contents of the AAIA Archives and Their Research Uses
The microfilm edition of the AAIA Archives covers the period from 1851 to 1983, with the bulk
of the material dating from 1922, when its predecessor groups were formed, to 1983. To protect
individuals’ privacy, records after 1983 remain sealed. The voluminous records are organized
into three major series: Organization Files, Subject Files, and Personal Files. The microfilm
edition of Native America, Series 2, General and Tribal Files, consists of the bulk of the Subject
Files, which are subdivided into General and Tribal Files. The microfilm edition of Native
America 3, Publications, Programs, and Legal and Organizational Files, consists of all of the
Organizational Files and Personal Files, and the remaining Subject Files—Legislation, Legal
Files, Publications, and Programs.
What is particularly impressive about the collection is that it contains information on such a wide
range of issues. Before World War II the holdings focus primarily on the Southwest, especially
the Pueblo and the Navajo, but a broader focus developed after La Farge returned from the war,
and LaVerne Madigan’s tenure as executive director saw the AAIA achieve truly national scope
with fieldwork from Florida to Alaska.
What types of studies and researchers will find the AAIA Papers useful? The possibilities are
far-ranging and exciting. A historian, for example, could use the collection as a resource for
writing a history of Indian reform in the twentieth century or a history of the AAIA and its
predecessors. Political scientists and students of rhetoric and communications could study the
propaganda tactics of La Farge and other figures in the AAIA. This examination might involve,
for example, AAIA press releases, appearances before committee hearings, and articles written
for newsletters. Such a study might include identifying the targeted audiences and measuring the
success of appeals. Political scientists might also look at how the AAIA acted as a pressure
group for Indians who made up a miniscule percentage of the public and who before World War
II lacked the resources and experience to defend themselves. Native American scholars will find
information about their own tribes and the key issues they faced. With so many prominent
people associated with the AAIA, the collection will be able to support the writing of various
biographies. For example, a portrait of Felix Cohen, the pioneer scholar of Indian law, would be
invaluable.
One fascinating topic worth investigating is AAIA relations with other organizations, both white
and Indian. The cooperation with the NCAI during the 1950s is especially interesting. For La
Farge and others, the change meant a total change of outlook. When one Indian wrote La Farge
in 1938 to express an interest in joining the AAIA, La Farge politely but firmly rebuffed him,
arguing that Indian members would make the AAIA appear self-interested. The prospect of
cooperation with the NCAI and the idea of allowing Indians to serve on the board of directors
created tensions, especially for Executive Director Lesser. La Farge himself struggled with the
change, but in 1958, in the midst of termination, he wrote, “did the NCAI not exist, I think we
would have to bring it into being.” These are just a few of the many research possibilities the
AAIA Archives offer.
xi
Scholarship on the AAIA Archives
The AAIA Archives have been put to good use since they were deposited with Princeton and
processed. Scholars have used the collection to study such topics as the controversy over the
Kinzua Dam and the return of Blue Lake to the Taos Pueblo. Robert Hecht researched the
papers even before they were organized in order to write Oliver La Farge and the American
Indian: A Biography (1991), and Thomas Clarkin partly based his Federal Indian Policy in the
Kennedy and Johnson Administrations (2001) on the AAIA holdings.
In closing, a microfilm edition of the AAIA Archives means that one of the most important
Indian reform organizations can be studied by scholars in many libraries. The result is that our
knowledge of Indian affairs in the twentieth century is enhanced, and we are now able to better
understand the Indian struggle for civil rights.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The project would not have been possible without assistance from many individuals. Primary
Source Media wishes to thank Ben Primer, Associate University Librarian for Rare Books and
Special Collections at Princeton University Library, for his commitment to making this
collection widely available and his support of this project. We extend a debt of gratitude to Dan
Linke, University Archivist and Curator of Public Policy Papers at the Seeley G. Mudd
Manuscript Library at Princeton, for serving as project director at the Library, for his dedication
to making the project run smoothly, his advice and counsel throughout the project, his unfailing
good humor, responsiveness to myriad questions, and editorial skills. Special thanks go to Jack
Trope, Executive Director of the Association on American Indian Affairs, for his commitment to
the project and his generous cooperation, and to the Board of Directors of the AAIA for
entrusting PSM with the publication of their records. At PSM, Bennett Lovett-Graff was
instrumental in securing Princeton as a prospective publishing partner on this and other
collections. Barbara Rader first recognized the value of this collection, pursued a contract for it,
and served as PSM’s editorial manager of the project. Thanks to PSM’s manufacturing
department for exemplary work: Barbara Phoenix, who served with dedication as manufacturing
project manager; and JoAnn Lebel for overseeing the smooth manufacturing operation. PSM’s
editorial aides, Kimberly White and Christine Gauvreau, meticulously reviewed all the files,
prepared the materials, and helped to create the collection guide.
