. >> the society of american indians was the first advocacy organization founded by native americans. we close out the city tour of the madison with the author of a book about the 1914 conference of the group held in madison to discuss land and treaty rights. today we are on the campus of the university of ago inin where 100 years 1914, the society of american indians conference took place. the society of american indians was the first secular indian led rights association that sought to impact policy and to help indian people on the reservations. it was made up of professional people, educators, lawyers, members of the bureau of indian affairs, 52 of them actually gathered here to set the agenda for the future. what was happening at the time, for american indians, the reservation system was appearing to be a failure to many different parties.

and they found a very strong ally in an organization called the association on american indian affairs. and this organization developed a legal defense fund for indian families. and they assigned one of their staff members, an attorney, to defend indian families. he defended hundreds of indian families across the country. other lawyers,of primarily non-indian lawyers, got involved in this. and so, finally, there was a way for indian families, especially indian women, to have some recourse when their children were taken from them without just cause. and so, they went to court, and they challenge these things. but gradually, those people who were involved in these cases, whether they were tribal advocates, social service indianrs within communities, or the association on american indian affairs -- they gradually began to feel like, wow, we cannot do this on a case-by-case basis. this is an epidemic problem. when you have 25% of all indian kids living apart from their families, this is a crisis. and we need to do something about it. so, they started promoting the idea of legislation. and

quite a bit of intermarriage between the french and native americans. indian people are almost all matrilineal. children we may consider today could be half white and half choctaw. some of them just don't appear in historical record as being european or white american because they were indian and part of their tribe. >> you mentioned at the end of the spanish on the french were white.
