ABSTRACT:This article expands on recent scholarship uncovering the experience of Black homesteaders in Oklahoma Territory in the late 19th century. Drawing on census records, newspapers, and homesteading land entry case files, it spotlights the stories of families who successfully proved claims in Kingfisher County while becoming public figures in political and civic circles. Examples include Doctor B. Garrett and Anthony Overton Jr., who in some ways were atypical homesteaders because they were prominent in public life and farmers. Yet they are representative of hundreds of Oklahoma Black homesteaders in their dreams of owning property, voting, and building communities in a place free of the terror and political oppression many experienced in the South. Their aspirations were partially realized. They served as delegates in Republican conventions, were appointed or elected to state and local positions, and "proved up" their homesteads. Still, the growing tide of Jim Crow policies in Oklahoma territory threatened to reverse these gains as the Republican Party became increasingly "lily white," and economic struggles led to farm foreclosures. In the end, the social networks Black homesteaders and settlers created were invaluable support systems in a territory that became increasingly hostile to their presence.

Indigenous natal homelands and events in urban areas is nonexistent. They are, historically and to the present, intimately connected and impactful. Despite the diversity in scholarly perspectives, approaches, and topics, an overlapping theme, that of ethnic resiliency, is elucidated in the articles that reflect the complexities about the Indigenous experience in living an urban existence. As active agents in their own histories, Indigenous people and communities, while confronting prevailing political structures, nationalistic policies, legal frameworks, as well as colonial agendas, created and sustained a sense of identity and place in urban spaces. As with any collection of readings, Indian Cities: Histories of Indigenous Urbanization is testimony to the burgeoning, wideranging scholarship about Native American experiences. At its broadest conception, the urban Indigenous heritage is a vital but sometimes overlooked component of Native American lifeways. Urban indigeneity, whether expressed by tangible or intangible means, provides a sense of belonging, continuity, and collectivity. As this volume aptly illustrates, Native American urban issues are a complex arena that deserves further scholarly attention. Overall, the contributions are a framework for reflection, debate, and new avenues for research.

ABSTRACT:The 1936 elections in North Dakota presented voters with a rare situation, as incumbent Republican House candidate William Lemke ran for reelection while also running for president of the United States as the Union Party candidate. Previous work on his presidential campaign noted his personal appeal mattered in North Dakota, but I argue that this is short-sighted; more than personal appeal likely shaped how voters approached these two campaigns. Using empirical models of county-level Lemke voting, I evaluate the role played by his personal appeal, along with federal farm aid per capita, cooperative grain and elevator companies per capita, and the signal strength of Father Coughlin's radio program. I find that Lemke's personal appeal mattered, but these other factors played significant roles, too. Lemke the House candidate performed better where Father Coughlin's radio program had a stronger signal and where residents received more federal farm aid per capita; Lemke the presidential candidate did worse in counties where Father Coughlin's radio program had a stronger signal and better in counties with greater numbers of cooperatives per capita. Overall, these findings provide insights into this particular election while illuminating factors that potentially shaped voting across the Great Plains during this era.

"Sharing the Land, Sharing a Future" looks to both the past and the future as it examines the foundational work of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) and the legacy of its 1996 report. It assesses the Commission’s influence on subsequent milestones in IndigenousCanada relations and considers our prospects for a constructive future. RCAP’s five-year examination of the relationships of First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples to Canada and to nonIndigenous Canadians resulted in a new vision for Canada and provided 440 specific recommendations, many of which informed the subsequent work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). Considered too radical and difficult to implement, RCAP’s recommendations were largely ignored, but the TRC reiterates that longstanding inequalities and imbalances in Canada’s relationship with Indigenous peoples remain and quite literally calls us to action. With reflections on RCAP’s legacy by its co-chairs, leaders of national Indigenous organizations and the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, and leading academics and activists, this collection refocuses our attention on the groundbreaking work already performed by RCAP. Organized thematically, it explores avenues by which we may establish a new relationship, build healthy and powerful communities, engage citizens, and move to action....
