Laura Cornelius Kellogg was an eloquent and fierce voice in early
twentieth-century Native American affairs. An organizer, author,
playwright, performer, and linguist, Kellogg worked tirelessly for
Wisconsin Oneida cultural self-determination when efforts to
Americanize Native people reached their peak. She is best known for
her extraordinary book Our Democracy and the American Indian (1920)
and as a founding member of the Society of American Indians. In an
era of government policies aimed at assimilating Indian peoples and
erasing tribal identities, Kellogg supported a transition from
federal paternalism to self-government. She strongly advocated for
the restoration of tribal lands, which she considered vital for
keeping Native nations together and for obtaining economic security
and political autonomy. Although Kellogg was a controversial
figure, alternately criticized and championed by her
contemporaries, her work has endured in Oneida communitymemory and
among scholars in Native American studies, though it has not been
available to a broader audience. Ackley and Stanciu resurrect her
legacy in this comprehensive volume, which includes Kellogg's
writings, speeches, photographs, congressional testimonies, and
coverage in national and international newspapers of the time. In
an illuminating and richly detailed introduction, the editors show
how Kellogg's prescient thinking makes her one of the most
compelling Native intellectuals of her time.
