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 3, the AAIA Publications, Programs, and Legal and Organizational

Files, 1851-1983 deal with legislation relating to Native American issues; selected milestone

legal cases regarding Native American rights; AAIA program initiatives and publications;

AAIA's organizational files; and the files of AAIA directors over the course of the Association's

history. This series features a wealth of information on legislation dealing with a broad range of

Native American issues, as well as key legal cases on land and water rights, constitutional issues,

and other important legal precedents. The program initiatives in areas such as health, education,

and tribal self-determination, as well as the minutes, correspondence, and other materials

included in these files, provide insight into the Association's efforts from conception to

execution; the internal and external environment in which it worked; and the efforts of the men

and women who led the struggle to champion Native American interests in dealing with the

federal government.

The AAIA publications, programs, and legal and organizational 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

vii

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.

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.

viii

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

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.

ix

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

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,

x

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

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,

xi

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.

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.
