Edward A. Everett (New York politician)

As a member of the New York State Assembly from the Second District of St. Lawrence County, he chaired the Everett Commission.

His father was a farmer,[1] and Everett grew up on a farm, attending the Lawrenceville Academy and Potsdam Normal School.

When a thirteen-person "Indian Commission" was founded in 1919 Everett, though he was not the first offered it, accepted the role of chair.

He led the so-called Everett Commission in an investigation on Native American status.

Only Everett signed it, the assembly rejected the report, and it was not widely printed or distributed.
