Ben Nighthorse Campbell papers:
audio-visual materials,
circa 1964-2006
The Ben Campbell collection as a whole comprises political papers created and maintained by Ben Nighthorse Campbell of Ignacio, Colorado, during his service as a Colorado state representative (1983-1987), as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives (1987-1992), and as a U.S. Senator (1993-2004). Record series include campaign files, bill files, committee files, state and federal government publications, staff project files, subject files/ legislative reference files, voting and attendance records, casework files, issue mail, and constituent correspondence. A lively portion of this collection is videotapes and audiotapes that document portions of Senator Campbell's work on Capitol Hill and elsewhere.
These videotapes and audiotapes in particular offer an insight into the character and personality of Ben Nighthorse Campbell. Although the recordings are not comprehensive, they do provide a view of the passion and pride the Senator took in his duties as a voice inside the U.S. political arena and for speaking on behalf of Native American issues. His ability to reason and to communicate with and for his constituents is captured throughout the sequence of events recorded. Native Americans and others saw him as a powerful influence among the elite who make the laws of this country. In Congress, his unique background in terms of education, ethnicity (the only Native American Senator), and experience (Olympic judo competitor, jewelry designer, rancher, Korean conflict veteran, semi- truck driver, Harley-Davidson enthusiast who rode his motorcycle to Capitol Hill) enabled him to offer a needed perspective in areas of his focus on the Hill: federal treaties with Native Americans; U.S. trust responsibility as regards Native Americans; Native American sovereignty; water rights; issues of family violence and healthy families; the Southwest. Native Americans would say that "he was just another blade of grass blowing in the wind" and surely is missed for the representation that he gave to that community. The moments captured on these recordings and made available in this collection demonstrate the manner in which he grappled with the issues of government.
