Opinions | Cherokee Nation policies after the Civil War show that reparations work Melinda Miller In Tulsa last year, Vernon AME Church pastor Robert Turner holds a sign supporting reparations after leading a march from city hall to the Greenwood neighborhood, where black residents were massacred a century ago. (Joshua Lott/The Washington Post) A House committee recently voted to advance H.R. 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act.

In 2016 the Vatican, recognizing the need to understand Indigenous religious protocols, invited Indigenous spiritual leaders from around the world to Rome. On May 4, eleven leaders met outside of Rome to prepare for their visit with Pope Francis. JoDe Goudy, as chairman and a longhouse spiritual leader of the Yakama Nation, began with a song and prayer to honor his peers and the occasion.

So Congress began passing laws, ramping up pressure on tribal governments. It passed the General Allotment Act of 1887, which broke up communal reservations into individual allotments to tribal citizens, and left “surplus” lands unassigned. Congress then opened the “unassigned lands” to white settlement in 1889, prompting the Oklahoma Land Run, and passed the Oklahoma Organic Act in 1890. Congress established the Dawes Commission in 1893 to negotiate allotment agreements with recalcitrant tribes and, in 1889, passed the Curtis Act to allot parcels to their citizens. More laws followed in 1906, including the Five Tribes Act and the Osage Allotment Act, to pave the way for Oklahoma to join the Union in 1907 as the 46th state.
