"A study of the Lummi Indians of northwestern Washington and the
political and economic forces that have determined their changing
fortunes over the past 150 years. Daniel Boxberger has made
excellent use of documentary sources, oral history, and his own
observations. . . . The book is compelling and well documented; it
is also understated, frequently allowing the actions of the myriad
contending interest groups to speak for themselves."
"--Ethnohistory"
"Boxberger knows his subject. He displays an impressive
understanding of the technical development of fishing, and he
repeatedly uses his interviews with Indians to inform and test
archival and secondary sources." "--American Indian Quarterly"
"By focusing on the history of control over productive resources
(in this case salmon, methods of harvest, processing, capital
investment, and markets) Boxberger shows how the Lummi slid from
independence and self-sufficiency to dependency, underdevelopment,
and poverty. . . . Not only is it an excellent, in-depth study of
the Lummi case, it can also serve as a metaphor for the larger
question of Native American treaty rights and the resource
provisions of agreements." "--Pacific Historical Review"
Daniel L. Boxberger is professor of anthropology at Western
Washington University, Bellingham.
