  • Termination by Decentralization? Native American Responses to Federal Regional Councils, 1969–1983

    Thomas A BrittenARTICLEThe American Indian Quarterly2021

    An interesting yet often overlooked facet of Richard M. Nixon’s consequential presidency was his administration’s ambitious efforts to improve the responsiveness and efficiency of federal grants in aid programs. In order to encourage federal agencies to cooperate with each other, to coordinate their efforts, and to make them more accessible to the people, Nixon created ten Federal Regional Councils (FRCs) and directed major grant making agencies …

  • Thomas Grillot. First Americans

    Open AccessThomas A BrittenARTICLEThe American Historical Review2019

    Thomas Grillot’s First Americans: U.S. Patriotism in Indian Country after World War I examines the development, meanings, and manifestations of patriotism in Indian Country between 1917 and the end of the 1940s. For many non-Indians, the multifaceted displays of patriotism during and after World War I was a paradox. A generation earlier, after all, Indian warriors were the primary foe of the U.S. military, and the federal government’s treatment o…

  • Abraham Lincoln as Great Father

    Open AccessThomas A BrittenARTICLEAmerican Indian Culture and…2016

Dole supported assimilation, the allotment of Indian lands, the concentration of Native peoples on reservations, and the termination of federal responsibilities for Indian nations. While some Lincoln-era Indian policies were certainly well intention…

    Eugene Austin (1923-1980) was a member of the Lovelock Paiute Tribe of Nevada.

In 1941, he was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. He spent the next thir…

    Thomas A Britten, Joy A BilharzARTICLEThe American Indian Quarterly1999Cited by: 3

    In the late 1950s, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced its intention construct a dam along the Allegheny River in Warren, Pennsylvania. The building of the Kinzua Dam was highly controversial because it flooded one-third of the Allegany Reservation of the Seneca Nation of Indians. Nearly six hundred Senecas were forced abandon their homes and relocate, despite a 1794 treaty that had guaranteed them those lands in perpetuity. In this reveal…
