Incorporating previously overlooked materials, including tribal
council records, oral histories, and reservation newspapers,
""Ruling Pine Ridge"" 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 of the tribal council governing system still in place
today on Pine Ridge and on many other reservations. Reinhardt
demonstrates how conflicting political values foregrounded by the
new governing format led to an aggravation of social divisions on
the reservation and eventually came to a head in 1973 with the
occupation and siege of Wounded Knee. The siege is best understood,
he claims, not as a political stunt of the American Indian Movement
(AIM) but as a spontaneous, grassroots protest at least forty years
in the making.
