the results, first, reservations were not patented and jurisdiction over indian reservation land was left uncertain. second they did not become explicit wards of the federal government. third because jurisdiction remained uncertain confusion and conflict between and among state and federal authorities prevail. finally the united states army major general 1857 interpretation of california reservations legal status denied them full army protection and i quote until these reservations are perfected united states troops have no right to exclude whites from entering and occupying the reserves or even to prevent them from taking indians. federal officials made california indian people particularly vulnerable to kidnapping slavery assault and masked murder. the establishment of the state m militia system. 3,414 militia men enrolled in 24 separate volunteer state militia expeditions killing at least 1,342 california indians. however, their impact transcended these numbers. they served as a widely publicized state endorsement of indian wran killing. a public grant for indian killing and inspi

to briefly review the independent federal reserve. member nikki called it the worst financial crisis in global history, including the great depression. the federal reserve quickly acted to lower rates to almost zero and has held them there for about eight years. this action by the independent federal reserve was critical to our recovery. they found that efforts by the federal reserve with support from democrats in congress dramatically reduce the severity of the great depression and recession. last year, republicans in the house passed legislation reform act that would fundamentally hamper the fed's ability to conduct monetary policy. it would independence by forcing to determine rates using a mathematical formulas while ignoring important indicators. chair yellen, as you've noticed before, they had been forced to follow such a role in recent years, millions of americans would've suffered joblessness over this period,". another proposal, the fed's mandate to to try to maximize limit and instead focus solely on inflation. not sure peop

as a consequence the dodd-frank act place new limits on federal reserve powers. it is a complex issue. emergency provision of liquidity will probably always have the appearance of a special privilege for a few select firms and in a real sense it is. it protects financial firms from suffering firesale losses. the justification for llr is financial firms undertake fire sales which affect other firms and firms may be rational for short-term creditors they are not always justified through economic fundamentals. it is based on the idea everybody can be made better off if the government can prevent panic but the fed's llr policies were discretionary, so without these fundamentals, should be allowed to fail the is the rub is in the midst of a run you can't tell the difference between a firm that deserves liquidity support and one that isn't. the judgment call can always be open to criticism. why save bear stearns and let lehman fail and save aig the next week? discretionary policy create a lot of problems. the need for llr is somewhat ironic given regulatory rhetoric. f

i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. mr. huizenga: i yield two minutes to the distinguished the gentleman from texas, mr. williams, who is a member of the house financial services committee. . mr. williams: the state department recognizes the islamic republic of iran as a state sponsor of terrorism. ironically the president calls his deal with iran a foreign policy achievement. our commander in chief is proud of his plan that puts iran on the path to getting a nuclear weapon. he's proud of his plan that condones and facilitates u.s. business with iran. in september, the treasury department authorized the sale of up to 97 airbus and boeing planes to iran. iran is more than just a label state sponsor of terrorism. iran uses its financial sector for international money laundering. iran has been a long-time supporter of the brutal assad regime in syria. it has supported a government that has killed hundreds of thousands of its own people. iran's leader has pledged to wipe america and israel off the map. but none of these facts m

you have three federal reserve primary dealers who think the federal reserve will hold off on hikingks until 2017. rbs believend they will hold off. that, despite the improving economic data and the hawkish tone from the officials. implies 71% probability of a chance of a hike this year. you have the market said on to 71%. -- you have the market set on 71%. three primary dealers kicking back against consensus. jeremy, do you disagree with that? this is the dollar strength story that we have. is december locked in? >> i cannot speak for the reasoning of those three primary dealers to change or have a different assumption, but certainly we have been assuming that the fed would hike in december. i think there are obvious parallels. we have been dreading those inallels through q3 and q4, terms of the interpretation of the u.s. dollar getting a bid. we have seen a number of coursenities over the of the last couple years, which have really meant that the fed has held rates far lower than perhaps is appropriate for the duration of the economic cycle. i think the market would read it rather

and so reservations are few and far between. reservations in the great basin are few and far between. on the margins of the great basin, you have the ft. hall reservation, which is not in the basin itself. you have the two larger reservations out here, pyramid lake and walker river, established in 1859, right at the time of the comstock silver rush. but then you don't get another reservation for the next 18 years. and the reservation that's going to be founded for western shoshones is up here. it's called duck valley. federal officials would view this reservation, founded in 1877, as a place to concentrate all western shoshone groups, regardless of where they were from. this idea of consolidation was really popular in the bureau of indian affairs. the idea is it would people assimilation and cut costs. the groups that live closest to the area did go there. most were from the western shoshone band called the white knife. so that's their homeland, that's where they go. most western shoshones refuse to go. most western shoshones wo

where you ended, when you added 12 to the reserve did you have to reverse things in the reserve already that it turned out were either going to come out badly or there was resolution on it that in fact you added more to the reserve? >> yeah, so the way that the calculation works, it is essentially quarterly when we put together a quarterly financial statement we sit with the controller office and look what is programmed in the reserve and new information that has come to be since we last calculated it and make an adjustment and it does move over time and what is factored into it, there are things that come and go, so for example, at the yearened last year we reserved dollars against a rate cut in our medi-cal expansion capitation rates. that came to be true and we ended up factoring that into our budget. because we are able to put it in the budget it is no longer uncertainty so factor comes out thf reserve. there are things that have come and gone over time. the net has grown consistently. part of it is i thenk the risks known and part is how much can we afford to set aside dollars to m

she is keeping the federal reserve on track for a december rate increase, isn't she? chris: i think that is right. you can circle december 14 in your calendar if you have not already. the fed is likely to raise rates by a quarter percentage point. she used that term relatively soon in reference to a rate hike and even made a nod to some of the hawks on the committee, talking about the risks of moving to a -- too late. that is number one. beyond that, number two, it is fair to say she is keeping people on the same path that the committee has already set out for 2017, a gradual rate increase after this expected height. ?onnie: what does gradual mean to next year, 30 next year -- two next year, three next year? chris: the last time the committee laid out its projections, the median called for two hikes in 2017. as far as this testimony, this keeps it very clearly on that half, but the wildcard here is the potential policy that the term administration is going to introduce, infrastructure spending, tax cuts, trade policy, all of these could affect the rate going forward.

some lived in original territory on reservations, some lived on reservations to which our ancestors were moved, and no longer on the reservation and that is most of the indigenous people from east of the mississippi who were forcibly removed from indian territory, now oklahoma. and many in cities, about half the native population lives and works at any one time in urban areas. as devon abbott writes there is no one voice among natives because there is no such thing as the colts really monolithic woman and there never has been. so keeping that in mind i am now going to talk about a lot of generalities and keep in mind that this is the diversity. that's exact to the problem. although the stereotypes have changed over time they are nearly always monolithic and native americans are an ethnic group one ethnic group or racial category rather than nations, cultures. centuries of british and united states domination of native nations produce the binary of the indian which described native women's bodies and their status. the counterparts are male natives either romanticize warriors and the degra

you have seen the conditions of people in the reservations there. the poorest people in the western hemisphere. they refused to take $80 million. they still refused. it's in a trust fund. $2.5billion. so these are people who don't need protection, they need massive, massive numbers of u.s. citizens demanding of this government, return to the black hills, stop all of the degradation of the land in that area. that's what they really need. >> i think it's the definition of genocide. i think that u.s. citizens, government and all leaders are denying that and, i think, i really like how you define the definition is intent to destroy, intent to destroy people and culture. it is defined as though they are awry yacht and so i think we still have a long way of understanding this, i think, america is still in denial of this and i think it will make many voices through written texts through education to make this known. it's been a lifetime struggle. i just wanted to comment. i don't know if it's a question but it's just a comment. thank you. >> so just to ref

defined the role of the reservations. as long as native people remained on the reservations, they would be protected by the office of indian affairs. if they left, then the military would have jurisdiction over them. i think it's important to note that for the movement of the office of indian affairs to the war department it never happens. it goes on for several years. it ever actually happens. so the office of indian affairs stays in the interior department from 1849 to the present day. . the administration of indian affairs would be placed in the hands of religious organizations. this was parker's other idea, if civilian indian agents hadn't proven themselves to be particularly trustworthy. and you couldn't install military indian agents, then religious leaders could perhaps be trusted more so than other civilian agents. by 1872, 73 indian agents had been assigned to different religious groups, predominantly protestant, although there were a few catholic indian agencies. another name for this set of policies is the quak
