At this time Fort Sheridan was established just south of and replacing the Spotted Tail Agency, and was maintained until 1881.

The scope of the work consisted in making the soil survey and land classification, economic analysis of the pump districts, the study of drainage conditions, collection of data on yields and prices of the principal crops now grown in the section, as well as making balance sheets, inventories, and gathering such other data as was found necessary to determine the feasibility of the project from the economic viewpoint.

There are 56,140 acres of second-class land that can not be expected to produce as high an average yi.
New Reclamation Era, Vol. 19 (Classic Reprint) by United States Bureau of Reclamation Pdf
Excerpt from New Reclamation Era, Vol. 19 J. M. Patterson, chairman of the Georgia Reclamation Committee, stated that we must educate the public and the legislatures to the new conception of reclamation; that this proposed work does not mean the bringing into production of large areas of agricultural land, but of making contented, prosperous, organized rural communities. Dr. Burdette G. Lewis, chairman of the Florida Reclamation Committee, dis cussed the resolution, which was then adopted unanimously by the conference. Hon. Walter F. Lineberger, former Member of Congress, and consulting engineer, stated that he believed that it is fundamentally sound to extend the work of the Bureau of Reclamation to include the South; that he is heartily in favor of the great program outlined, adding that this is more than a proposition for te claiming land; it is a great social and eco nomic movement of the most vital benefit to our whole country.

Decolonizing Methodologies by Linda Tuhiwai Smith Pdf
'A landmark in the process of decolonizing imperial Western knowledge.' Walter Mignolo, Duke University To the colonized, the term 'research' is conflated with European colonialism; the ways in which academic research has been implicated in the throes of imperialism remains a painful memory. This essential volume explores intersections of imperialism and research - specifically, the ways in which imperialism is embedded in disciplines of knowledge and tradition as 'regimes of truth.' Concepts such as 'discovery' and 'claiming' are discussed and an argument presented that the decolonization of research methods will help to reclaim control over indigenous ways of knowing and being. Now in its eagerly awaited second edition, this bestselling book has been substantially revised, with new case-studies and examples and important additions on new indigenous literature, the role of research in indigenous struggles for social justice, which brings this essential volume urgently up-to-date.

Canada's Relationship with Inuit by Sarah Bonesteel Pdf
Inuit have lived in Canada's north since time immemorial. The Canadian government's administration of Inuit affairs, however, has been generally shorter and is less well understood than the federal government's relations with First Nations and Métis. We hope to correct some of this knowledge imbalance by providing an overview of the federal government's Inuit policy and program development from first contact to 2006. Topics that are covered by this book include the 1939 Re Eskimo decision that gave Canada constitutional responsibility for Inuit, post World War II acculturation and defence projects, law and justice, sovereignty and relocations, the E-number identification system, Inuit political organizations, comprehensive claim agreements, housing, healthcare, education, economic development, self-government, the environment and urban issues. In order to develop meaningful forward-looking policy, it is essential to understand what has come before and how we got to where we are. We believe that this book will be a valuable contribution to a growing body of knowledge about Canada-Inuit relations, and will be an indispensable resource to all students of federal Inuit and northern policy development.
