Özet:
In 1919, the indigenous people of Southern California, to provide a united front in their struggle to secure rights and protect tribal sovereignty, formed the Pan-Indian Mission Indian Federation. The roots of the problems they faced---the federal government's allotment policy, paternalistic officials, and population decline---can be traced back to a public that viewed First Peoples through a prism of stereotypes. Government officials and settlers chiseled this prism out of inaccurate histories that promoted the belief of culturally inferiority, and provided the justification needed to murder, implement assimilation programs, and trample on rights.
Federationists fought against non-Indian attacks on their sovereignty by writing histories that challenged people's stereotypes. Their histories focused on their ancestors' contributions to the region before and after European arrival, resistance to colonialism, and cultural perseverance. Furthermore, their memories of the past became manifested in the organization's governing structure. Members, by maintaining aspects of their traditional governments found a way to protect their sovereignty in the face of foreign aggression. And in the process of using history as a weapon to fight oppression and maintain their traditions, they highlighted the intellectual historians' responsibility to create factual accounts of the past. The historical revisionism that occurred in Southern California spread to other parts of the nation and became an effective tool of resistance still in use to this day.
