Rebirth of the Blackfeet Nation, 1912-1954 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780803290044)

Drawing on interviews, democratic theory, and extensive archival research, Paul C. Rosier focuses on the internal political, economic, and ethnic forces shaping the Blackfeet Nation during the first half of the twentieth century. Incorporating Blackfeet voices throughout his study, Rosier shows how transformations were not imposed on the Blackfeet but were the result of their continuing efforts to create a community of their own design and to reorganize relations with outsiders on their own terms. Rebirth of the Blackfeet Nation, 1912-1954 illuminates a pivotal time in modern Indian-white relations and broadens our understanding of the meaning of democracy in America.
