Drawing on meticulous archival research and a close working
relationship with the Menominee Historic Preservation Department,
David R. M. Beck picks up where his earlier work, Siege and
Survival: History of the Menominee Indians, 1634-1856, ended. The
Struggle for Self-Determination begins with the establishment of a
small reservation in the Menominee homeland in northeastern
Wisconsin at a time when the Menominee economic, political, and
social structure came under aggressive assault. For the next
hundred years the tribe attempted to regain control of its destiny,
enduring successive policy attacks by governmental, religious, and
local business sources. The Menominee's rich forests became a
battleground on which they refused to cede control to the U.S.
government. The struggle climaxed in the mid-twentieth century when
the federal government terminated its relationship with the tribe.
Throughout this time the Menominee fought to maintain their
connection to their past and to regain control of their future. The
lessons they learned helped them through their greatest modern
disaster-termination-and enabled them to reconstruct a government
and a reservation as the twentieth century drew to a close. The
Struggle for Self-Determination reinterprets that story and
includes the viewpoint of the Menominee in the telling of it. David
R. M. Beck is a professor of Native American studies at the
University of Montana. He is the author of Siege and Survival:
History of the Menominee Indians, 1634-1856 (Nebraska 2002), which
won the Wisconsin Historical Society Book Award of Merit.
