This collection consists of thirty notebooks maintained by Theodore Hetzel. The notebooks are primarily travel journals, which describe notes from various meetings that Hetzel went to during the years of 1954 and 1985. The hundreds of pages of this guide are a summary of the topics that Dr. Hetzel mentioned in his notebooks. We have included some direct quotes from his entries to give the researcher a better notion of what is contained in the notebooks. They serve as a wonderfully helpful connection to Hetzel’s audiotapes, photographs, and papers held at the Center of Southwest Studies. These three collections complement each other, as is demonstrated by the way in which he describes each of those types of records in his journals. For instance, his journal entries describe people he met and photographed.

Theodore Hetzel traveled all over the United States. A resident of the Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) area, he traveled to New York, Maryland, North Carolina, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Idaho, Washington, California, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois, as well as Washington, D.C. He attended various meetings nationwide, especially those of the Indian Rights Association (I.R.A.). A Quaker, he also attended many meetings of the American Friends of the Indians. Other organizations he mentions include the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), TBH, AFSC (American Friends Service Committee), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), AEC, NMCA, the Council of Indian Affairs (C.I.A.), and the TLE.

Dr. Hetzel’s notes mainly describe issues concerning Native American tribes in the United States and their interactions with the United States government, Ango Americans and Anglo culture. The issues he described are multi-faceted. A short list of topics discussed would include: the ‘Indian Problem,’ AFSC workcamps, the Seneca Nation, land rights, maintaining culture, religion, tradition, welfare, the Papago Reservation, boarding schools, Pine Ridge, tribal control, industries, the economy, the future, Rosebud Reservation, treaties, the Oglala Sioux Council, the reservation system, assimilation, housing, checkerboarding of the land, education, medical care, relocation, funding, public health, Indian law, and acculturation.

Theodore Hetzel wrote about these topics in terms of his dominant concerns about the interactions and treatment between Native Americans and the White Man. Hetzel summarizes many different people’s points of views concerning these topics and how they were impacting the country at that time. Some of Hetzel’s journal entries contain his initial responses to people’s comments while at the same time he was tape recording them. These issues are important to research, study and acknowledge because of their impact on the history and current situation of the United States.

Note: Some entries are not in chronological order in the notebooks; data has been entered as in the notebooks. Note about committee names and people’s names: some writing was indistinguishable and was interpreted through other journal entries; some inconsistencies may occur.

There is no Notebook #[15] in the Theodore Hetzel collection. It is, however, referred to in Notebook #[16] under the entry for 1965 Aug. 27, and is also referred to in Notebook #[17] under the entry for 1966 Nov. 4, 5.
