Editorial Reviews

Geographer Fouberg tells the story of two tribes on the northern Great Plains of North America, using their historical and political geographies to illuminate the role of tribal governments in maintaining and reinvigorating tribal identities and cultures. She discusses the reservation, assimilation and allotment; the Indian Reorganization Act, termination, and rehabilitation; diminishment as a question of how Indian country becomes a question of Indian character; and self-determination, regulation, and tribal governments.
