Standing Up to Colonial Power focuses on the lives, activism, and
intellectual contributions of Henry Cloud (1884-1950), a Ho-Chunk,
and Elizabeth Bender Cloud (1887-1965), an Ojibwe, both of whom
grew up amid settler colonialism that attempted to break their
connection to Native land, treaty rights, and tribal identities.
Mastering ways of behaving and speaking in different social
settings and to divergent audiences, including other Natives, white
missionaries, and Bureau of Indian Affairs officials, Elizabeth and
Henry relied on flexible and fluid notions of gender, identity,
culture, community, and belonging as they traveled Indian Country
and within white environments to fight for Native rights. Elizabeth
fought against termination as part of her role in the National
Congress of American Indians and General Federation of Women's
Clubs, while Henry was one of the most important Native policy
makers of the early twentieth century. He documented the horrible
abuse within the federal boarding schools and co-wrote the Meriam
Report of 1928, which laid the foundation for the Indian
Reorganization Act of 1934. Together they ran an early college
preparatory Christian high school, the American Indian Institute.
Standing Up to Colonial Power shows how the Clouds combined Native
warrior and modern identities as a creative strategy to challenge
settler colonialism, to become full members of the U.S.
nation-state, and to fight for tribal sovereignty. Renya K. Ramirez
uses her dual position as a scholar and as the granddaughter of
Elizabeth and Henry Cloud to weave together this ethnography and
family-tribal history.
