Dios y la Nación: The 1837 Revolt and the Maladministration of Mexican New Mexico Western Historical Quarterly (IF 0.4) Pub Date : 2024-05-24 Matthew Saionz
This article examines the revolt of 1837 in New Mexico within the context of Mexico City’s inattention to the North after Mexican independence and the destabilizing effects of U.S. commercial expansion. An analysis tracing the origins of the uprising to its suppression in January 1838 suggests that New Mexico’s unrest had less to do with a federalist movement for autonomy or separatism than it did

The Smallpox Chiefs: Bioterrorism and the Exercise of Power in the Pacific Northwest Western Historical Quarterly (IF 0.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-07 John Sutton Lutz, Keith Thor Carlson
Although there has been much writing and speculation on the deliberate use of smallpox as a tool of genocide, this article documents the use of the bluff threat of spreading smallpox as a tool of power and manipulation in the early days of European trade and settlement in the Pacific Northwest. By documenting ten cases when a bluff threat was used, the article argues that it was a common strategy of

Patterns of Plunder: Corruption and the Failure of the Indian Reservation System, 1851–1887 Western Historical Quarterly (IF 0.4) Pub Date : 2023-11-16 Ryan Hall
Between the reservation system’s creation in 1851 and its partial dismantling in the Dawes Allotment Act of 1887, the Office (now Bureau) of Indian Affairs tasked Indian agents with administering a complicated mixture of goods and services known as “annuities,” which were designed to make reservations viable and survivable for Native people. This article demonstrates that Indian agents instead systematically

Beyond the River and Into the Gulfscape: Yaqui Mobility in Baja California Western Historical Quarterly (IF 0.4) Pub Date : 2023-10-19 Anabel Galindo
The visions of missionaries, investors, adventurers, and literary writers have long dominated the history of Baja California, while Indigenous peoples remained at the margins of these accounts. This article proposes a redirection of the peninsular history, one that centers on the experiences of the Yaqui people, whose interconnections with the gulfscape are more far-reaching than expected. Yaqui history

Murder and Memory in Territorial Hawai‘i: A Moloka‘i Microhistory Western Historical Quarterly (IF 0.4) Pub Date : 2023-06-02 Frederick E Hoxie
The murder of Elmer Conant on the tiny island of Moloka‘i in June, 1923, was an act of local resistance to a wave of social and economic change. The hunt for Conant’s murderer, and the subsequent prosecution of a Native Hawaiian man local authorities believed was responsible for it, reveal the power territorial elites could exercise over life in rural Hawai‘i, the ambiguous nature of indigenous response

Beyond Rainmaking: Climate Engineering on the Nineteenth Century Great Plains Western Historical Quarterly (IF 0.4) Pub Date : 2023-03-27 Robert Suits
Settler colonists in the nineteenth-century American West thought humans could engineer climate change. The supposed method varied: agriculturists and boosters argued that farming moderated climates, arboriculturists that forest belts humidified the air, and popular theorists that shooting the sky with artillery could shock rain out of it. This article shows that these theories gained credibility from

The Many Faces of Josefa Jaramillo: (Mis)identifications and Historical Longing in the Colonial Present Western Historical Quarterly (IF 0.4) Pub Date : 2023-01-17 Susan Lee Johnson
Before 1970, the public had never seen a picture of Josefa Jaramillo, the Taoseña who married frontiersman Kit Carson in 1843 and stayed with him until they both died in 1868. Then, within six months, two such images crossed the portal of the Carson museum in Taos, each from a different donor. For fifty years since, historians, curators, and descendants have embraced the photos as authentic. But they

“Whenever we exist on any land, we know it is our country”: Cocopa Mobility and the Colorado River in the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands, 1887–1936 Western Historical Quarterly (IF 0.4) Pub Date : 2022-12-21 Daniel A Grant
This article argues that between the 1890s and the 1920s, Cocopa Indians successfully parried the threats of expanding settler nation-states and modern capitalism by adapting ancestral mobility patterns to modern constraints of the U.S.-Mexico border. By moving with the changing flow of the Colorado River and, later, providing a cheap and indispensable migratory labor supply for both U.S. and Mexican

The Carlisle Indian Industrial School (1879-1918) is often remembered as the first residential school for American Indian children and youth forcibly removed from their communities as a part of the U.S. government’s policy of so-called assimilation. In addition to “school-aged” youth, however, American Indian women and men eighteen years of age and older comprised a substantial proportion, and from

The 1882 trial of Crow Dog (Kangi Súŋka), for the murder in 1881 of Spotted Tail (Siŋté Glešká), a leader of the Sicangu/Brulé Lakota, had all of the hallmarks of a twentieth- or twenty-first-century celebrity trial. People came for miles around Deadwood, Dakota Territory and far-flung parts to the west in order to attend the trial and rub shoulders with the participants. From the point of view of

This article explores the material and cultural households that Catholic nuns, the Sisters of Loretto, built in New Mexico Territory in the 1850s through 1870s. In some ways, these households served a similar function as other White households in the U.S. settler empire. However, given the specific situation in New Mexico Territory—where Nuevomexicanos remained dominant in politics and demographics

This article explores Indigenous removal as a trans-imperial phenomenon through the writings of U.S. superintendent of Indian affairs, Thomas McKenney, and three of his British imperial counterparts—George Arthur, Charles La Trobe, and Francis Bond Head—all of whom declared themselves committed to ameliorating the condition of Indigenous people and concluded that this project necessitated Indigenous

This article unpacks Jesuit assessments of Indigenous Alaskan religious practices and does so through a focus on how Jesuit missionaries wrote about “superstition” and, especially, “medicine men” or “shamans.” Through a close reading of the Jesuits’ mission records, we can see the Jesuit, missionary, colonizing lens through which they viewed Indigenous Alaskan communities and their cultures.

Japanese Exclusion and Environmental Conservation in the BC Salmon Fisheries, 1900-1930 Western Historical Quarterly (IF 0.4) Pub Date : 2022-05-17 Benjamin Bryce
Between 1900 and 1930, fishermen, cannery workers, investors, fisheries officials, and federal commissioners in British Columbia knew that the salmon in the Fraser and Skeena Rivers were overfished. They saw the solution in hatcheries, controlling when and where people could fish, and limiting the number of fishermen engaged in the commercial fisheries. Yet while the first two solutions relied on a

In Spring 1832, a Ho-Chunk delegation attempted to resolve a refugee crisis that threatened to bring war with the Americans into their lands. The return migration of a removed multiethnic band made up primarily of Sauk and Fox families into northern Illinois precipitated a conflict known as the Black Hawk War.

Birth of the Mexican Problem: Oil in Mexico, U.S. Social Sciences, and Transnational Labor, 1917–1920 Western Historical Quarterly (IF 0.4) Pub Date : 2022-05-10 Juliette Maiorana
Birth of the Mexican Problem is a historian’s version of a postcolonial analysis. I use the narrative history and research materials of one of the earliest think tanks in U.S. history to show how and why Mexico was made legible to U.S. audiences. Not just a response to early twentieth-century Mexican migration, the so-called Mexican problem was also deeply tied to U.S. capitalists’ economic interests
