Popular culture largely perceives the tragedy at Wounded Knee in
1890 as the end of Native American resistance in the West, and for
many years historians viewed this event as the end of Indian
history altogether. The Dawes Act of 1887 and the reservation
system dramatically changed daily life and political dynamics,
particularly for the Oglala Lakotas. As Akim D. Reinhardt
demonstrates in this volume, however, the twentieth century
continued to be politically dynamic. Even today, as life continues
for the Oglalas on the Pine Ridge Reservation in southwestern South
Dakota, politics remain an integral component of the Lakota past
and future. Reinhardt charts the political history of the Oglala
Lakota people from the fifteenth century to the present with this
edited collection of primary documents, a historical narrative, and
a contemporary bibliographic essay. Throughout the twentieth
century, residents on Pine Ridge and other reservations confronted,
resisted, and adapted to the continuing effects of U.S.
colonialism. During the modern reservation era, reservation
councils, grassroots and national political movements, courtroom
victories and losses, and cultural battles have shaped indigenous
populations. Both a documentary reader and a Lakota history,
Welcome to the Oglala Nation is an indispensable volume on Lakota
politics.
