Abstract:
Collection
is composed of memorabilia, scrapbooks, campaign items, and personal
items related to Reifel’s career as a public servant, especially his
years in the United States Senate and his work with the Bureau of Indian
Affairs. The bulk of congressional material is memorabilia and
scrapbooks and not records related to his term of office. Other
materials are related chiefly to his post-congressional speaking career.
ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
Provenance:
This is the collection of Ben Reifel, a distinguished South Dakota State
University graduate and native South Dakotan whose achievements include
being the first Sioux Indian elected to Congress. Unfortunately, this
collection represents only a portion of the material created during his
lifetime.
Following Reifel's death in 1990, an extensive search was
conducted for the remainder of his papers, specifically materials
related to his work in Congress. The search was conducted mainly by
Rolly Samp, an associate of Reifel, who contacted many of Ben's
Washington contacts, as well as the Senate history office. None of the
files, which were presumably left in Washington after he left office,
could be located. It can be assumed that the materials were discarded
and subsequently lost.
Although the bulk of congressional papers are not extant,
the remainder of this collection is not uninteresting. It offers a
unique and irreplaceable look at a unique individual, who was extremely
important to the history of South Dakota State University, and the
history of South Dakota.
This collection was left to South Dakota State University
in Ben Reifel's will. It arrived at the university in early 1990.
Access Restrictions:
This collection is open to research without restriction.
Items in this collection do not

BACKGROUND NOTE
Benjamin Reifel was born on September 19, 1906 in a log
cabin near Parmelee, South Dakota, on the Rosebud Reservation. He was
the son of a German-American father, William Reifel, and a full-blooded
Lakota Sioux, Lucy Burning Breast. Ben Reifel was an enrolled member of
the Rosebud Sioux Tribe; his Indian name was Lone Feather.
He attended both a Rosebud Reservation boarding school
and a county school. He graduated from the eighth grade at age sixteen
and spoke both the Lakota and the English languages. After working on
his parents' farm for three years, he entered the School of Agriculture
in Brookings, S.D. Upon completion of this high school program in 1928,
he enrolled as a special student at South Dakota State College. He paid
his own way through four years of college, with the aid of one of the
first loans made available to Indian students under the program for the
education of Indians recommended by the Merriam survey. He graduated in
1932 with a Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture. In his senior
year, he was elected President of the Students' Association. Mr. Reifel
married a college classmate, Alice Janet Johnson of Erwin, SD, on
December 26, 1933. They had only one child, Loyce Nadine, who is
married to Emery Andersen.
After graduation in 1932, Ben was hired as boy's advisor
at Hare's School in Mission, S.D. In 1933, he began a long,
distinguished career with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, when he was
appointed "farm agent" at Oglala, on the Pine Ridge Reservation. That
first appointment lasted only a year before he was promoted to "field
agent" at the headquarters in Pierre, SD. He was assigned to promote
the new programs under the Indian Reorganization Act signed by President
Roosevelt in 1934. This was a period of drought and intense hardship on
the reservations, and young Ben, although meeting with counter agitation
from some members of the tribes, was extraordinarily successful in
winning support for the Reorganization Act, first at Pine Ridge and
later on other reservations across South Dakota. He is credited with
the major responsibility for making the programs of the Bureau effective
on South Dakota reservations.
World War II interrupted his career in the B.I.A. Mr.
Reifel had been commissioned as Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army
Reserve in 1931. In March of 1942, Ben was ordered to active duty and
served in the Army until July 1946. He obtained distinction in France
and Germany and achieved the rank of Lt. Colonel. After his discharge,
Ben continued his work with the BIA. He was appointed Tribal Relations
Officer and later served as Superintendent of the Fort Berthold
Reservation in North Dakota.
In 1949, Mr. Reifel felt the need to continue his
education. He was awarded a scholarship in public administration at
Harvard University, where he received his Masters Degree in 1950. A
John Hay Whitney Foundation Opportunity Fellowship enabled him to
further his education. He completed his Doctorate in Public
Administration in 1952. After graduation, Dr. Reifel returned once more
to the BIA. After a brief period in the Bureau of Indian Affairs office
in Washington, D.C., he returned to Fort Berthold as Reservation
Superintendent. He then served at the Pine Ridge Reservation and in
1955 was appointed Area Director of the Aberdeen Area Office in
Aberdeen, SD. Now responsible for more than a thousand employees, and
for application of federal policies and programs among the Indians of
South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska, he played his strongest role
as administrator, serving to within three years of retirement.
During this period and immediately following, the
distinction of Dr. Reifel's career was marked by several awards. He
received the Outstanding American Indian Award in 1956 and the Annual
Indian Achievement Award by the "Indian Council Fire" in 1960. That
same year he received the Silver Antelope Award from the Boy Scouts,
also the Silver Beaver, Silver Buffalo, and Gray Wolf Awards in
Scouting. He also received the Department of Interior's Distinguished
Service Award in 1961 for an outstanding career with the Bureau of
Indian Affairs.
In 1960, Dr. Reifel resigned from the Bureau to run for
Congress in the First District, South Dakota. He was elected by a
substantial margin and served for five terms as Representative from
South Dakota. His political popularity was reflected in the solid
support he received in every election. He was regarded as a
"conservative Republican," and a thinker who prepared himself well on
legislative matters, always able to give a substantial and thoughtful
basis for his stand on issues. He was the first person of Sioux
ancestry to serve in the Congress, and the only Native American in
Congress throughout the 1960's.
While a member of congress, Dr. Reifel held several
important committee assignments. In his first term, he was appointed to
the House Agricultural Committee; in his second, to the House Committee
on Appropriations. Thereafter, he served as ranking Republican on the
House Appropriations subcommittee on Interior Department Affairs.
Using these important posts, Congressman Reifel gave
distinguished service on behalf of his constituents. He worked hard for
farming interests in South Dakota and the plains states in general,
opposing cuts in farm support programs, pushing the Oahe irrigation
project, and similar matters vital to the state. At the same time, he
continued to work vigorously for Indian education, with significant
accomplishments. A stern opponent of segregation, he believed that the
key to the plight of the Indian people lay in educational programs
enrolling Indian and non-Indian students together in modern progressive
facilities. While in congress Dr. Reifel gave his support to the Civil
Rights Act of 1966 and to the act increasing the minimum wage. Reifel
was instrumental in getting the Earth Resources Observation Systems
center (EROS) located in South Dakota and in keeping Ellsworth Air Force
Base as an active military base in the state. On a broader national
level, he was instrumental in securing passage of legislation, which
created the National Arts Council and the National Endowment for the
Humanities.
Despite his popularity and success, Congressman Reifel
decided not to seek reelection in 1970. Although intending to retire in
1971, he remained very active. He accepted an appointment by President
Nixon as chairman of the National Capital Planning Commission, and
served as Special Assistant for Indian programs to the Director of the
National Park Service in the Department of the Interior. He also served
as Interim Commissioner of Indian Affairs during the last two months of
the Ford Administration. Ben also gave many speeches, speaking at
Memorial Day and July 4th celebrations and several high
school and university commencement exercises.
Throughout the 1960's and 1970's, Ben was a member of
several organizations. He was a member of the Masons, Rotarians, and
Elks. He also served on the National Council of the Protestant
Episcopal Church and the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
He also served as National president of Arrow, Inc., an Indian service
organization. In 1977, Ben became a trustee of the South Dakota Art
Museum in Brookings, SD and served terms as their board president in
1982-83. He established the first Native American collection at the Art
Museum in 1977, donating most of his personal collection.
Since Reifel's retirement in 1970, he was honored by
several South Dakota colleges and universities. He received honorary
doctorates from South Dakota State University, the University of South
Dakota, and Northern State College.
Ben's first wife, Alice Johnson Reifel, died of pneumonia
on February 8, 1972. Ben remarried on August 14, 1972 to Frances U.
Colby of De Smet, S.D. Ben died of Cancer on January 2, 1990.
SCOPE and CONTENTS NOTE
This
collection is composed of memorabilia, scrapbooks, campaign items, and
personal items related to Reifel’s career as a public servant,
especially his years in the United States Senate and his work with the
Bureau of Indian Affairs. The bulk of congressional material is
memorabilia and scrapbooks and not records related to his term of
office. Other materials are related chiefly to his post-congressional
speaking career.
The Activities series is composed of activities
that Reifel worked on throughout his life. These items include
correspondence and miscellaneous items from Reifel's work with the Boy
Scouts of America, the National Park Service, the South Dakota Art
Museum and the South Dakota Committee on the Humanities. There are four
files of Dakota Territory Citizen Certificates which was a project
Reifel worked on after being elected for the first time. These include

items about Native Americans, trips made by Reifel while in Congress,
and several activities that were executed by virtue of being a
Congressman.
The Awards and plaques series is composed of
certificates, medals, ribbons and honors received by Reifel over the
years. Included are commemorations, certificates of appreciation and
honorary degrees. Also included are gavels and medals, some from the
Boy Scouts of America. This material is arranged alphabetically except

The Correspondence series dates from
Reifel's time with the BIA in 1946 until just before his death in 1990.

and a US Annotated Code book with Reifel's name embossed on the front
cover. The library received the entire series of the US Annotated Code,
but kept only one book due to space issues. Also included is
presidential inauguration material from John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson,
Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter. These are inaugurations that Reifel
attended and include invitations, booklets, and ticket memorabilia.
The Miscellaneous series is composed of
appointment books from 1954-1979, guest books from Reifel's office in
Washington, D.C., newspaper clippings, periodicals, programs, press
releases, a House of Representatives binder from 1968 and writings by

celebration speeches and addresses given at high school and university
commencement exercises.

photographs, negatives, audiocassettes, audio reels, films, and
videocassettes.

for Reifel and the Republican Party but also includes radio features for
E. Y. Berry and Bill Broomfield. Several audio items detail House bills
that Reifel either sponsored or was in favor of, including a health
insurance bill, Medicare and several farm issues. Some feature radio
spots for fund drives for the Red Cross and the South Dakota Association
for Retarded Children. Also included is luncheon and dinner speaking
engagements that feature Reifel as a speaker or an honoree. An item of
note is an interview conducted by Barbara Fitzgerald for "Kennedy Center
Presents." In this interview Reifel talks about his family history and
discusses American Indians in South Dakota and the federal government's
treatment of the Indian on Reservations. The format of the audiotapes
is mainly reels, but also includes a few cassettes. This material is
arranged by size.
The films include several filmed speeches, many of which
are unidentifiable due to the nature of the media on which they were
produced. These will eventually be transferred to a more usable media.
The bulk of the photographs are from Reifel's service as
an U.S. Congressman.
