A pamphlet published and distributed by the Women's National Indian Association. This particular item was written by Amelia Stone Quinton (1833-1926). Quinton founded the WNIA with Mary Lucinda Bonney (1816-1900), principal of the Chestnut Street Seminery and Ogontz School for Girls. Both women feared that white settlement would encroach into Native American reservations and together their organization circulated leaflets and petitions which eventually culminated in the Dawes General Allotment Act of 1887. In general they supported christianization, education, and assimilation of Native Americans.This digital record contains three images that depict the entire described pamphlet.
