Item The Political Relationship Between Indians and Europeans in Colonial Pennsylvania (part 10).(UNKNOWN, 1957-05-09) Larrabee, Edward"During this period of one hundred seventy years, there was continuous contact between European and Indian society on the moving frontier belt of North America. In Pennsylvania the groups which met were in relatively parallel political positions, as both the Province and the tribes which treated with it were self-governing bodies but were not as independent as they wished of powers which claimed suzerainty over them."Item The Political Relationship Between Indians and Europeans in Colonial Pennsylvania (part 2).(UNKNOWN, 1957-05-09) Larrabee, Edward"The period between 1626 and 1681 was marked by international rivalry for control of the coast and trading settlements, in which the English were ultimately successful. Although the lives of the coastal tribes of the Delaware were considerably altered during this period it was no disaster from the Indian point of view. In fact the Indians almost universally welcomed the new goods and services offered by the white traders in return for furs and skins, and often took advantage of the competitive situation among the Europeans to increase the amount of goods they were receiving."Item The Political Relationship Between Indians and Europeans in Colonial Pennsylvania (part 3).(UNKNOWN, 1957-05-09) Larrabee, Edward"Penn wished that his new colony might be based on justice and humanity, and was particularly considerate of the Indians who inhabited the area. He instructed the agents he sent ahead of him to treat them well, and he himself sent them a now-famous letter, in which he expressed his friendship for them and his intention of treating them fairly. And so he did, by his own lights, in the eyes of his countrymen and successors, and in the memory of his name treasured by generations of Indians whose ancestors he befriended."Item The Political Relationship Between Indians and Europeans in Colonial Pennsylvania (part 4).(UNKNOWN, 1957-05-09) Larrabee, Edward:As the first twenty years of the Province's history had been dominated by the spirit of its founder, so the next three and a half decades were dominated by the Quaker control of the Assembly and the struggle between the Assembly, representing colonial interests, and the Proprietary Government. The latter was embodied in the Governor (the actual title was Lieutenant Governor, to differentiate the appointed Governor from the senior member of the Penn family, who was theoretically the permanent Governor) and the Executive Council."Item The Political Relationship Between Indians and Europeans in Colonial Pennsylvania (part 5).(UNKNOWN, 1957-05-09) Larrabee, Edward"During the last three decades of official contact between the government and Indians of Pennsylvania the previously peaceful relationship between them became one of increasingly conflicting aims and infrequent warfare. The first decade was filled with the Seven Years' War and Pontiac's uprising."Item The Political Relationship Between Indians and Europeans in Colonial Pennsylvania (part 6).(UNKNOWN, 1957-05-09) Larrabee, Edward"Among both the whites and the Indians the organizations which had transacted most of the official business between the races disintegrated or were at least badly shaken under the shocks of war. While those colonists who sought to pacify the Indians by coming to terms with them, as between equals, were struggling under the difficulties which cropped up at their conferences, those who believed in pacification by military force had more immediate success."Item The Political Relationship Between Indians and Europeans in Colonial Pennsylvania (part 7).(UNKNOWN, 1957-05-09) Larrabee, Edward...There was the sudden oppressive problem of peace, because war, limited though it may be, was part of the Indian way of life. Johnson and Croghan knew this, and tried to divert the warrior bands as far away as possible, although this complicated Superintendent Atkins' problem in the southern colonies. Croghan told the Indians at 'Fort d'Troit' on December 4, 17960, that he knew '...your Warriors have all a martial spirit & must be employed at War & if they want diversion after the fatigue of hunting there is your natural Enemies the Cherookees with whom you have been long at War, there your Warriors will find diversion & there they may go, they have no other place to go, as all Nations else are become the subjects of Great Britain.'"Item The Political Relationship Between Indians and Europeans in Colonial Pennsylvania (part 8).(UNKNOWN, 1957-05-09) Larrabee, Edward"General Gage sent some regulars, and the citizens of Philadelphia formed a Militia. A Quaker informant sent word of the intentions of the 'rioters.' '...If Gabriel was to come down from Heaven and tell them...they were wrong, they would not desist for it, for that they were of the same Spirit with the blood-run, blood-thirsty Presbyterians, who cut off King Charles his Head.' They said they did not want to kill Quakers, but would kill them or anyone who opposed them."Item The Political Relationship Between Indians and Europeans in Colonial Pennsylvania (part 9).(UNKNOWN, 1940-05-09) Larrabee, Edward"The major task of the Department during 1768 was the settlement of a definite boundary to the west of the Colonies, which was achieved at the Treaty of Fort Stanwix that Autumn. The new policy of the British Government entailed the settlement of this boundary, the withdrawal of troops from the frontier and their concentration on the Atlantic coast, the permanent establishment of the Indian Department, but with control only over treaties, land purchase, etc., the control of trade being given to the colonies, and finally the closure of the west to schemes for new Colonies."Item The Political Relationship Between Indians and Europeans in Colonial Pennsylvania.(UNKNOWN, 1957-05-09) Larrabee, Edward"The historical frontier of the English colonies in North America, and, in the particular instance of this paper, Pennsylvania, was considered by the colonists to be 'the edge of civilization,' advancing into a virgin wilderness, rather than an area in which two cultures met. However, the element of the frontier which I propose to discuss is the relationship, as understood by the participants, between the white men and the Indians in Pennsylvania."Item "...Will probably go out to Simcoe, to see how things are."(UNPUBLISHED, 1955-10-29) Larrabee, Edward"I will see Doug and Al Culverwell about next summer's dig, and start school at the U. in winter Quarter. On the otherhand, I might stop by for just a moment in Yakima to say hello. If anything of great interest has turned up, I could return it on my way back."Item The Yakima Indian Treaty: 1855-1955, A Thesis Presented at Reed College - transcription.(UNKNOWN, 1955-06) Larrabee, Edward"The Yakima Treaty of June 9, 1855, has for one hundred years been the focus of Yakima resistance to acculturation by American Society. These Indians, by their own definition, and by that of white people surrounding them, are still not absorbed into our culture. In so far as the Yakimas remain, after a century, a cultural enclave, the Indian policy of the United States has been a failure, or at least has not fulfilled the expectations of those responsible for its development."
