About

edit

Charles Edwin Dagenett (September 17, 1873 - March 16, 1941) was the highest ranking American Indian in the Bureau of Indian Affairs for over 30 years, and from 1894 to 1927 served under six successive Commissioners of Indian Affairs. Dagenett was a founder and leader of the Society of American Indians (1911-1923), the first national American Indian rights organization run by and for American Indians. The Society pioneered twentieth-century Pan-Indianism, the philosophy and movement promoting unity among American Indians regardless of tribal affiliation. Dagenett is credited with creating the Office of Indian Employment at the Bureau of Indian Affairs and successfully employed thousands of American Indians in major labor-intensive projects and corporate industries.
