This project rests on the tremendous prior work of many archivists, historians, and community leaders who have preserved and interpreted the historical record on this topic. The bibliography lists their many works, but we want to especially acknowledge the prior research by Robert Sims, Eric Walz, Carole Simon-Smolinski, and Ronald James.
