| Summary: |
A pamphlet published and distributed by the Women's National Indian Association. This particular essar was originally written by Mrs. G.W. Owen, President of the Ypsilanti Women's Indian Association. It was reprinted and distributed by the WNIA. Amelia Stone Quinton (1833-1926) founded the WNIA with Mary Lucinda Bonney (1816-1900), principal of the Chestnut Street Seminery and Ogontz School for Girls. Both women feared that white settlement would encroach into Native American reservations and together their organization circulated leaflets and petitions throughout the mid-Atlantic. Their efforts eventually culminated in the Dawes General Allotment Act of 1887. In general they supported christianization, education, and assimilation of Native Americans.
