In the United States of America today, debates among, between, and
within Indian nations continue to focus on how to determine and
define the boundaries of Indian ethnic identity and tribal
citizenship. From the 1880s and into the 1930s, many Native people
participated in similar debates as they confronted white cultural
expectations regarding what it meant to be an Indian in modern
American society. Using close readings of texts, images, and public
performances, this book examines the literary output of four
influential American Indian intellectuals who challenged long-held
conceptions of Indian identity at the turn of the twentieth
century. Kiara M. Vigil traces how the narrative discourses created
by these figures spurred wider discussions about citizenship, race,
and modernity in the United States. Vigil demonstrates how these
figures deployed aspects of Native American cultural practice to
authenticate their status both as indigenous peoples and as
citizens of the United States.
