Donald L. Parman papers, 1883-1994 (bulk 1933-1944)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/226315836

This collection is separated into two series that contribute to understanding the research and narrative trajectory of The Navajos and the New Deal book. As a whole, this archive offers an in-depth and critical engagement with New Deal politics and their effects on the Navajo reservation. Correspondence (1924-1974): This series consists of official correspondence from the Department of the Interior, the Office of Indian Affairs, Commissioner John Collier, Senator Dennis Chavez, J. C. Morgan, the Department of Interior Field Services, and other federal, state, and local organizations. The correspondence discusses matters of stock reduction, the New Mexico Boundary Bill relating to Navajo Reservation boundaries, education and health issues on the Navajo reservation, and protests and petitions from various Navajo tribal communities. This series is organized chronologically by year and contains two sub-series. The first sub-series is correspondence written to or by Donald Parman in relationship to his book project. The second sub-series, which is the bulk of the series, contains copies of correspondence from other sources. The Navajos and the New Deal Book Project (1883-1994): This series consists of research materials Parman used for his manuscript. The series begins with several chapter drafts which do not correspond with the chapters in the book. These were written years after the book was published for a court case that never went to trial. Newspaper articles, clippings, and handwritten transcriptions are also included in this series; they are alphabetically organized by newspaper title and then chronologically filed. Education and health related files are also filed by date. The last section of this series is research materials, consisting of articles, interviews, biographies, transcribed materials, and other documents related to New Deal politics and the Indian Reorganization Act/ Wheeler-Howard Bill.
