A rusty red parade bike with spokes offset to create a teetering back and forth, as if riding a horse, motion on two wheels. Obviously a dangerous bike that should only really be used in parade by clowns of the 1950s.

Of course we took it down hill.

Nothing is more exhilarating than having all the control and none of it.

Yes, you have handlebars and brakes. It was staying on the bike as it tried everything in its frame to dethrone you that was the problem. Especially on an incline.

My mother would, and still does, tell me, “Sue and I would ride it down that hill for hours with our ponytails whipping up and down like paintbrushes.” Which is a lot of words to describe something as simple as hair whipping up and down, until you see it in action and wonder how neither of the sisters had died doing this.

It was owned by my Grandfather and Grandmother.

The last time I rode the Benz was before that ownership changed.

2020 was the year my Grandmother passed away.

The Benz is a beloved family member that is now owned solely by my Grandfather.

I have experienced death before. In a brutal nasty way before my own older brother, and my own cousins.

So my having this experience is heartbreaking for my family, I am the baby after all.

I had a friend named Luke, he was my boyfriend’s best friend in the world. Smart as a whip, sarcastic as all heck, and with a sense of humor that would be canceled in seconds online.

He was working when a septa train dragged him three miles down track.

Painless to him.

Painful for us.

Grief was something I was still recovering from despite two years passing. It had been April of 2018, I still remember the exact date and time and where I was, what I was doing, and the details of words spoken to me. Expressions. Sounds. Scents. Feeling.

That week haunts me three years later, and as it approaches I feel sadness again.

However.

The death of my grandmother was slow.

Not a cruel slowness, encroaching in corners of mind with unsure smiles at holidays about if it would be the last, or if next would be. But a slow that meant this was it, it will come and it will go. A walking death that came when the world stood still.

The last I rode the Benz was the last time she was living in my memory.

It was not a living funeral, no we refused to consider it.

It was a family gathering to bring her three grandchildren, her two daughters, her son in law and one of her granddaughter’s boyfriend (mine) together. A simple gathering amidst a global shutdown.

Alex, my older brother, and Jacqui my cousin had pulled apart the overpacked garage to find him. We all just had to ride him, had to show him off to my boyfriend, and to see if Mommom could recall watching her daughters, and years later her grandchildren play with it.

The Benz is not magical.

It’s just a bike with offset spokes and a mission to murder.

Getting it uphill is awful, going downhill is chaotic.

We did every step as if meditation.

And she watched us, from her wheelchair with oxygen attachment. Eyes down droopy, her face wilted with age.

Whereas Luke was youthful and sudden, Mommom was reaching the end of a very very long loved life.

For this we were grateful. There are few times where you can dictate what a dead person’s last few memories of you will be. Or of the world will be.

Luke’s last memory of me will be at a Mall where I wanted nothing more but to go back home because I was tired from work and rather annoyed.

My grandmother’s will be of me smiling on the benz with a ponytail whipping in the hair behind me. My boyfriend struggling to steer it while laughing with childish glee. Alex truding it up the hill and shouting about the pedals scraping the ground every few spins. Jacqui cackling, snorting as she wheeled it into the grass unable to stop just yet at the curb.

Her memory will not contain us in a pandemic unable to see her. Uncertain about health in the years to come.

It will be of the Benz.

It is something that many live with very quietly because there are also other oppressed groups that are more in the limelight. There are many that have been living in reservations without the same opportunities presented to them that others have gotten. The main concern of my project is how these people are keeping their priceless culture alive.
Today America has placed a lot of attention on racism, ignoring still that it happens not just to Africans but also to Asians, Mexicans, and Natives. It has become a bit unfair that there isn’t much of a call to protect these other people from the same violations and tribulations. It is ignored that there was a time that African Americans were considered a color during segregation, but Irish and Natives were not.

With my final project, I want to reach uneducated people on the topic. A lot of people do not know what the natives have gone through truly, and what efforts are being made to remake a culture that was nearly snuffed out. I would like to inspire curiosity about native culture, about how citizens are taking it upon themselves to keep their heritage alive. There are some really cool things in Native culture that I think people would really enjoy experiencing and would have a deep appreciation for.
I also would like to instill the fact that Africans were not the only race that was discriminated heavily against. As I will repeat in my project, the Natives still had to have protections over their basic right to vote put on them even in 1984. Natives are still discriminated against today, but the difference is they often do not come to the public about it.
In the end, I would like to really show that Native Americans are still a proud strong race, that despite being nearly entirely subjugated and killed, or entirely assimulated and vanished, that people should stand by them too. That this little bit of information shared might occupy someone’s mind a bit and make them think a little broader about some of the struggles in our shared history.

What were the… ]]> Question: During the period of time when Native Americans were gaining citizenship there was a firm dismissing of their culture. This project is looking at what the indigenous were losing in order to acclimate to American Culture. What were the government’s requirements for natives to become citizens? What did it make them lose? And, today what have they gained back as a culture?

Project Description: There are many obvious things that indigenous peoples lost during the transition to be citizens. This project is going to explain in further detail the results of this intentional wiping out of the culture. For example, not only the boroughs of community that were split up over time, but the losses of language, history, tradition, and identity. There were interesting sources of pride, protection, and support from white citizens which I would like to bring into use to show how they did gain recognition eventually. Many people who were not Native were very upset by the treatment that they were receiving from the government and close-minded peoples. That there were many unfair actions, treaties, and laws with requirements that ensure the erasure of this culture. What was being said by these supporters? How did they express their support, or attempt to aid in it? What was the general public’s reaction to Indigenous were granted citizenship all together? In addition, what was the thought around when they were given the right to vote over 20 years after? And, why did there have to be protections about the indigenous being voters being actively put in place all the way up until the 1980s? What did people think about this? There are many topics that keep coming through as I research this project, and overall I will be going into government protections, but also what the government had put in place previously that lead to the Natives needing these protections. Lastly, this project will go into the recovery efforts to restore the native’s histories. To relearn language, songs, dance, and many other things that were either forgotten or kept very secretly. What efforts are there? Has the government done more actions to help regain what was lost? What do people today this about it?

  • The “Peculiar” Relationship of Indigenous Peoples to the U.S. Government- Essay
    • This essay is about the complexities of the relation between Natives who are in self-governing tribes and the government. It is very insightful as it draws from many other sources. It backs up the fact about how Natives tribes are often mistreated due to their own nations being not constitutionally guaranteed any rights as extra-constitutional entities. The freedoms they have wanted to hold onto are nonexistent giving way to prejudice. This essay expands on how the attitudes from racism, ideology, economic and political attitudes are being used to either support, diminish, or deny native’s rights. However, at the same time the treaty rights, when acknowledged, prevent states from intervening in native affairs. There’s a complex grey area of where the government helps and where it cannot if it decides to acknowledge agreements or ignore them.
  • American Indian Education and the Edward E. Ayer Collection-
    • This goes over many resources, explaining them and going into historical facts about the Natives and schooling. It draws on many sources that can be used as primary to help enhance my essay if I wanted to go deeper into the assimilation, and resistance of the natives to it. One section that interested me was about the boarding school that natives began going to with intentions of keeping them away from white children, segregating them even from African Americans. Boarding schools were popular as a way to Americanize children into the proper society from their native roots. Much of this essay is about how native children were being assimilated with traditional roles taught to them, girls learned weaving, home-keeping, and boys other things.

    • https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/blog/on-this-day-in-1924-all-indians-made-united-states-citizens
    • Despite some of the facts in this article being incorrect, the act itself it linked to it and is a statement on allowing Indians to be citizens. Declaring that their rights as natives will not be effects by this act, which was not entirely upheld. The article on this websit4e has some facts that need to be doubled checked because it does state that only two states had laws against Indians voting, when in fact there had been many and some held out until 1965 as mentioned.

    • This has the article called “Preparing the Indian for Self-Support and Citizenship.” Which was very intriguing for it is a lot of opinion and emotion mixed with facts about the relation of government’s actions and Indians. It explains the complicated relationship, and how things in the past were based on treaties that were eventually not honored. That there were mistakes on both sides, with many of the white folk in the government who were taking advantage of the natives in a way. It also states some things about being self-sufficient and relying upon the Indians.

    • This article is long but informs people of native’s benefits and rights. What their opinions on the land ownership is, the reorganization act of 1934 which was handing land back to Indians that was bought on reservations by other people, and a few other interesting tidbits. It is like an overall informing thing for people who aren’t entirely aware of what was going on around the time and is rather helpful in getting facts and ideas.
  • Indian Citizenship-
    • This logs many treaties and laws that were created for the Indians, along with the details of the logs. For example, Section 6 of the Act of February 8, 1887, both before and after its amendment of May 8, 1906, provided: That every Indian born within the territorial limits of the United States who has voluntarily taken up within said limits his residence, separate and apart from any tribe of Indians therein, and has adopted the habits of civilized life is hereby declared to be a citizen of the United States. Which is directly from the act itself. There are many others of this kind that I can use to prove my points of intentional erasure of the Native culture and forced assimilation.

The thought of “What else is there to know? Hers is the same fate as every other Black Venus: no one remembered her name or recorded the things she said, or observed that she refused to say anything at all. Hers is an untimely story told by a failed witness.” It’s as if what had happened to her doesn’t matter because it is merely unknown to many. That this bit of history is put off merely because it has no witnesses, or was never recorded to be remembered. I think this stood out to me because it is bothersome to think there are bits of history that will never be known. Accounts that may be vital to understanding grand events that will never come to light because at the time they were never intentionally remembered, or just never asked.

The ignorant “failed” witness in my mind is one that mentions the path of The Trail of Tears and how horrible it was but goes on to inform about only how the Natives were unhappy by it but given free land. No asking a direct subject what was lost, or the impact on themselves. The group that moved was so large, that it is much like how it happened to so many yet no one. Then there’s only the hearsay after the event from the natives about how horrible it was, which is only told through someone else’s words a while after. Overall, I guess what I am ranting about is that the idea of a failed witness allows for massive blanks in understanding history. It becomes impossible to know if there were white people angry over the forced removal of thousands of natives if anyone stood by their sides or fought for them. The focus of history was that the treaty caused a tragic event, but it allowed Natives to move to a free land that they had control over. It would be impossible to write an account from the travel the natives had to take to Oklahoma, much of it would be guessing and stringing together different accounts that were passed to others. There is a silence of first-hand events that are caused by lack of education, but also lack of interest.

The words “Hers is an untimely story told by a failed witness” give an impression that it was a time of hard misunderstanding, or miskeeping the facts. It was not a good time for the subject, and the subjects weren’t even something the witness seemed to acknowledge. In a way, this ties into many Native American affairs with the idea of not only an ignorant witness but one that does not care for the subject leaving blanks that might not ever be filled with knowledge. It is like unintentional censorship, though some of it may be entirely intentional it is hard to know for sure.

It is an article about Native Indian citizenship and how the Bureau of Indian affairs had to be abolished. It is called the Wassaja Newsletter, and this particular one is from 1918. There is a great call to take Indians as citizens, yet also a great dislike for the blame that the white Americans were getting from the tribes. It is actually really interesting to read this sort of article. This newsletter also has a drawing of Indians and Americans using a log to knock down doors. It is labeled “Freedom’s signal for the Indian” and the door is “Indian Office”.

I think I will be using a lot of this newsletter, and would like to see if there are anymore of it’s articles that can give me greater insight to my topic of what the natives lost when they became citizens. This article is much like a different point of view to see how outsiders of the natives saw them and pitied their losses.

What I have been searching is outright “Citizenship” in between the years of 1880 and 1984. I have read quite a bit, even the reminders for Indians to apply for Citizenship in 1889. I have also found an article called “Preparing the Indian for Self-Support and Citizenship” which so far has mentioned how the tribes of natives have lost many things to the Americans. Treaties are broken and dishonored, how the Natives helped the white folk cultivate the land and that the government has forced many things onto them. There is more to this article that I think will be useful.

What so of events lead up to this, how they were treated before hand, and some things about their treatment after becoming citizens.

The main question I would like to answer after doing this research is: What did the indigenous lose when they became citizens?
In addition to this, I would also like to answer: How have they been recovering their lost culture? Especially the smaller tribes that may only show up as a miniature name on the map. What it takes to be a tribe/nation such as the Cherokee Nation is recognized by the Government.

Two sources I have are from the same website, for one is the entire history of the Natives, the other is a page about the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Both of these have been extremely informative to understand the status of Natives before and after they became citizens. Also, there is a lot of history I would like to learn in advance before really going into this project. The events that lead up to the government granting citizenship, who were the ones accepted before it was an overreaching law. Apparently, friendlier tribes were welcomed as citizens in the 1800s. This source is mostly going to be used to bring an informed approach to how indigenous were accepted.

Another source I have is an article about the lasting impacts of the war of 1812. This is to highlight the things Natives were forced to get rid of, how things such as their languages were being forced out of them. It is informative about the conditions that were being put on the Natives to be rid of their traditions.

I have yet to read it fully, but I have recently found things on the Dawes Act of 1887. “The federal government aimed to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream US society by encouraging them towards farming and agriculture, which meant dividing tribal lands into individual plots. Only the Native Americans who accepted the division of tribal lands were allowed to become US citizens. This ended in the government stripping over 90 million acres of tribal land from Native Americans, then selling that land to non-native US citizens.

I think it is important to learn about the road to citizenship that the Natives were put on, the acts for it, the laws and preventions if there are any more. It is a tense topic but I also want to go into the different voting laws that were put into place. I know that it was up to local governments if the Natives could vote in their areas. Yet, I really need to focus and narrow myself back down to my main question.

What did they lose? How have they regained? What it takes to be a tribe again?

In addition, I would like to also see more about when they gained the right to vote, which didn’t happen across the US until 1962. My grandmother was not born with the right to vote, her parents were not born citizens despite being here their whole lives. Until then it was up to the local governments to decide. There were even following laws to protect Natives’ rights that were continued to be put into place until 1982.

The question of what did citizenship cost really interests me as well, along with the newer movements to regain the lost traditions. Natives want to revive their tribes in a way to honor their heritage. The question proposed by my teacher about what the process to be federally (or at a state level) recognized as a tribe is. What privileges and/or costs come with being recognized as a tribe? Also highly interest me for these are things I do wish to know. With my family, we had to struggle to prove our blood status and were confronted by the Cherokee and the Government asking if we were wanting a claim on Casino money and free land. We are now recognized as part of the Chickamauga, from the Deer Clan out of the seven families that survived the Trail of Tears. This to me ties into the Indigenous around Philly and their own struggles with such rights and recognition. If there is also a roadblock from the clan itself, much like the Cherokee nation did to us, when it comes to trying to be recognized.

I would like to find out more about their tribe in relation to the Cherokee Nation, as in if it is hard to trace back the lineages of people. When my family went to prove ourselves as Natives we ran into road block after roadblock. Official letters were sent to us asking what our purpose was in our tracing our family back. At one point important birth documents from the 50s were conveniently burned in a mysterious fire that made it very hard for us to prove our blood status. It is hard to believe that Native Americans were not even citizens until 1924. However, even then there were areas that resisted this.

I would like to study more about the living Natives today and their revival of some of their traditions. Maybe even compare a bit to how the Cherokee are treated versus other native tribes.

I am not an artist

With the exception of not being able to ice skate, my world is still intact. What this map does is show the limited paths I now take every single day. Mornings start with being in bed with my laptop placed on top of a sock drawer playing some quiet YouTube videos. The path leads out of bed right to the dinning room where I attend class online. On weekends this path does change to skipping breakfast and heading out to work at karate. Evenings are also uneventful, there are no other places I dare embark to. The main living room is empty, we don’t use the dining room, I hardly use the game room next to my bedroom. Nights are exclusive to working on zoom in karate, or laying in bed watching a film waiting until I fall asleep. The world outside for me, is the inside of a dojang, the world inside is on my laptop. What I have noticed sadly is that my world seems no smaller than it was before. However, things are not unsatisfying. Many people are upset about their social lives being taken, but mine has always been inside of my hobbies. My world is limited to two buildings, however not once have I felt as if these times made my map hollow.

I am an English major at Temple University in my 3rd year.     

        I am stubborn. This short summary will clue you into this. When I was born I was inducted into the family hobby: Roller Skating. Meaning, competitive dance skating on quad-wheeled skates. This hobby persists still. At the ripe age of seven, I got into karate, we can thank action movies for that. By twelve I was a black belt. I achieved a second-degree black belt three years later and started teaching as a job. At nineteen achieved a third-degree black belt. Now I’m a college student, certified instructor, and will be working on earning my masters in both.

What is History?

My answer might just be coming from overthinking too much and reading too many books. There’s an answer to this that purely says history is told by the victors, and thus it is warped from the events that truly happened. So, in my opinion, history is events that happened and are chosen to be remembered. They cannot be changed no matter how opinion on them today has changed. After all, the written account of an event is really just commentary which sometimes tends to reflect one of the thoughts of the time. In all, history is events explained at the time, often through the voice of that time.
