These thirteen essays, taken from the pages of South Dakota
History, the quarterly journal of the South Dakota State Historical
Society, explore modern American Indian political and cultural
life. In five themed sections, contributors examine the tremendous
changes the Sioux experienced during the twentieth century. The
political and social ramifications of land heirship, the damming of
the Missouri River, and shifting federal policies are among topics
discussed. Health care, recreation, and education are viewed
through the windows of a psychiatric facility, reservation rodeos,
and the experiences of a day-school teacher. The tumultuous
build-up to the violence at Wounded Knee in 1973 is covered as
well, along with issues surrounding land allotment and efforts to
eradicate tuberculosis. Editor Richmond L. Clow contributes an
introduction and afterword providing context for the essays and
suggesting avenues for further study. Contributors: Harry H.
Anderson, Roger Bromert, Richmond L. Clow, Joshua Garrett-Davis,
Frederick E. Hoxie, Michael L. Lawson, Allison Fuss Mellis, Akim D.
Reinhardt, Scott Riney, Steven C. Schulte, Don Southerton, Laura
Woodworth-Ney.
