The White Earth Tragedy : Ethnicity And Dispossession At A Minnesota Anishinaabe Reservation 1889-1920
Paperback Edition: 1
In The White Earth Tragedy Melissa Meyer combines historical methods with approaches from sociology, anthropology, and economics to produce a thought-provoking account of the evolution and development of a single reservation community...Rather than focusing solely on Indian/white relations, as historians have often done in the past, Meyer highlights the relations between conservative Anishinaabe bands and ...'mediators' [of mixed descent]. In doing so, she reveals the diversity within the White Earth Anishinaabe community...
Meyer's meticulously researched case study is one of the most significant contributions to the field of Indian history in recent years.
