George P. Hammond collection, 1933-1956.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/44388840

The collection consists of one small folder relating to New Mexico history, and a three-part typescript, which was written by George P. Hammond. The typescript describes what Hammond calls "Navajo-Hopi Relations" between the years 1540-1882, 1882-1922, and 1911-1956, respectively, in the Navajo-Hopi reservation of Arizona. After presenting population statistics for each tribe, Hammond provides a detailed history of the region. The theme of how relations between the Navajos and Hopis were strained by U.S. intervention with regard to schools, land, and water rights runs throughout the three tomes. Schools mentioned in this report include the Navajo Blue Canyon School (later known as Western Navajo School), Polacca Day School, and the school at Keams Canyon. Countless superintendents of schools and of Indian Affairs, teachers, missionaries, traders, and BIA agents are named, as are military leaders, representatives of the Office of Indian Affairs, and government officials. Fewer Native American leaders and representatives of the Federation of Hopi Indians are mentioned by name.
