| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (p. [299]-315) and index Despite repeated requests for assistance from Plains Indians, the Canadian government provided very little help between 1874 and 1885, and what little they did give proved useless. Although drought, frost, and other natural phenomena contributed to the failure of early efforts, reserve farmers were determined to create an economy based on agriculture and to become independent of government regulations and the need for assistance. Officials in Ottawa, however, attributed setbacks not to economic or climatic conditions but to the Indians' character and traditions which, they claimed, made the Indians unsuited to agriculture. In the decade following 1885 government policies made farming virtually impossible for the Plains Indians. They were expected to subsist on one or two acres and were denied access to any improvements in technology: farmers had to sow seed by hand, harvest with scythes, and thresh with flails. After the turn of the century, the government encouraged land surrenders in order to make good agricultural land available to non-Indian settlers. This destroyed any chance the Plains Indians had of making agriculture a stable economic base. Through an examination of the relevant published literature and of archival sources in Ottawa, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, Carter provides the first in-depth study of government policy, Indian responses, and the socio-economic condition of the reserve communities on the prairies in the post-treaty era |

[299]-315) and index Despite repeated requests for assistance from Plains Indians, the Canadian government provided very little help between 1874 and 1885, and what little they did give proved useless. Although drought, frost, and other natural phenomena contributed to the failure of early efforts, reserve farmers were determined to create an economy based on agriculture and to become independent of government regulations and the need for assistance. Officials in Ottawa, however, attributed setbacks not to economic or climatic conditions but to the Indians' character and traditions which, they claimed, made the Indians unsuited to agriculture. In the decade following 1885 government policies made farming virtually impossible for the Plains Indians. They were expected to subsist on one or two acres and were denied access to any improvements in technology: farmers had to sow seed by hand, harvest with scythes, and thresh with flails. After the turn of the century, the government encouraged land surrenders in order to make good agricultural land available to non-Indian settlers. This destroyed any chance the Plains Indians had of making agriculture a stable economic base. Through an examination of the relevant published literature and of archival sources in Ottawa, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, Carter provides the first in-depth study of government policy, Indian responses, and the socio-economic condition of the reserve communities on the prairies in the post-treaty era Geschichte 1870-1920 gnd rswk-swf Indian reservations / Prairie Provinces / History Indiens / Amérique du Nord / Provinces des Prairies / Agriculture / Histoire Indiens / Amérique du Nord / Provinces des Prairies / Réserves / Histoire Indiens / Amérique du Nord / Canada / Relations avec l'État / 1860-1951 Indian reservations fast Indians of North America / Agriculture fast Indiens / Canada / Provinces des Prairies / Agriculture / Histoire ram Indiens / Canada / Provinces des Prairies / Réserves / Histoire ram Indianerreservat swd Bauer swd Indianerpolitik swd Geschichte swd BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Industries / General bisacsh Geschichte Indianer Industrie Landwirtschaft Wirtschaft Indians of North America Agriculture Prairie Provinces History Indians of North America Prairie Provinces Reservations History Plainsindianer (DE-588)4195108-6 gnd rswk-swf Landwirtschaft (DE-588)4034402-2 gnd rswk-swf Bauer (DE-588)4004763-5 gnd rswk-swf Indianerpolitik (DE-588)4161498-7 gnd rswk-swf Reservat Ethnologie (DE-588)4026721-0 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 gnd rswk-swf Kanada Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 gnd rswk-swf Plainsindianer (DE-588)4195108-6 s Reservat Ethnologie (DE-588)4026721-0 s Bauer (DE-588)4004763-5 s Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 g Indianerpolitik (DE-588)4161498-7 s Geschichte (DE-588)4020517-4 s 1\p DE-604 Landwirtschaft (DE-588)4034402-2 s Geschichte 1870-1920 z 2\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=627091 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
