"All Guns Fired at One Time"
We Do Not Want the Gates Closed between Us
Scholarship on the Native American experience at the turn of the twentieth century usually focuses either on how formally educated Native Americans left reservations and joined together to develop pan-Indian identities and agendas, or on how people living on remote, isolated reservations grappled with poverty and U.S. cultural genocide campaigns. Justin Gage opens a new angle of examination for this era. He looks at reservation populations, but i…
K eith R ichotte J r . Claiming Turtle Mountain’s Constitution
Scholarly discussions of tribal constitutions invariably revolve around the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act (IRA), a monumental piece of legislation that shaped modern tribal governments and triggered a flood of tribal constitution writing across Indian Country. However, the Turtle Mountain Tribe of north-central North Dakota adopted their first tribal constitution in 1932, two years before Congress passed the IRA. To explain Turtle Mountain’s jum…

Eyewitness to the Fetterman Fight
Eyewitness to the Fetterman Fight is a useful resource for researchers, serving up a coherent and thorough collection of primary sources: Native accounts of the 1866 Fetterman battle in which Lakotas and their Arapaho and Cheyenne allies killed all seventy-eight Americans (known as “The Battle of the Hundred Slain” in Lakota). The book could also be used effectively in classrooms; however, students will require additional context. Instead of rend…
An American Genocide
Black Elk
With relatively few verifiable sources available to reconstruct the life of the turn-of-the-century Lakota holy man Black Elk, the author Joe Jackson relies heavily on context; he builds a detailed historical framework to understand Black Elk's times. Philip Burnham's biography, Song of Dewey Beard (2014), on a contemporary of Black Elk about whom far less is known, offers a successful recent example of this approach. Unfortunately, the larger hi…

American Indians and the Fight for Equal Voting Rights
Laughlin McDonald is a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and has been director of its Voting Rights Project since 1972. After spending many years helping African Americans gain access to the ballot, he began working on behalf of marginalized American Indian voters in 1983. In American Indians and the Fight for Equal Voting Rights, McDonald offers an insider’s view of the ACLU’s legal efforts on behalf of tribes in Colorado, Mon…
Theory and Discipline
The Imperial Coin
This essay examines the ideological underpinnings of the Iraq War, especially in the pronouncements of the neo-conservative Project for the New American Century. It analyzes the varied rationales for the war, and the difficulties that it encountered, by reference to the concept of “empire” as elaborated by theorists Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. While noting the growing unpopularity of the war as a factor in the decline of the Republican Party…
Ruling Pine Ridge
Incorporating previously overlooked materials, including tribal council records, oral histories, and reservation newspapers, Ruling Pine explores the political history of South Dakotas Oglala Lakota reservation during the mid-twentieth century. Akim D. Reinhardt examines the reservations transition from the direct colonialism of the pre-1934 era to the indirect colonial policies of the controversial Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) and the advent …
Defining the Native
Dressed in their finest traditional garb—and chatting on cell phones—the procession of Native Americans is one of the most fascinating and touching events of the Indian Museum's opening day," asserted an anonymous copywriter in a lead-in to a Washington Post article on September 22, 2004.1 This single sentence captured some of the major shortcomings in the popular American perception of Native peoples. One is a static and ahistorical view of Indi…

And while the end of the Cold War is still a relatively recent event, the global influence and colonial aspirations of the U.S. are now more than a century old, dating back at least to its victory in the Spanish-American War, its first major military engagement outside of w…
Uncas

In the United States today there is a prevailing sense among many non-Indian people that Native Americans were severely wronged by the historic colonial process, that they were given, in common parlance, the short end of the stick. While few are willing to consider a world…
