A study of the significant role that Indigenous activists living in Chicago played in shaping local and national public perception of Native Americans in the early twentieth century.

Examines the termination and eventual restoration of the Confederated Tribes at Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw in 1984. Within this historical context, the termination and restoration of the tribes take on new significance. These actions did not take place in a historical vacuum but were directly connected with the history of the tribe's efforts to gain US government recognition.

Presents a history of the Menominee Indians from the early reservation years to the present. This book begins with establishment of a small reservation in the Menominee homeland in northeastern Wisconsin, and for the next hundred years the tribe attempted to regain control of its destiny, enduring successive policy attacks by government.

The Menominee Indians, or "wild rice people", have lived for thousands of years in the region that is now called Wisconsin and are the oldest Native American community that still lives there. David R.M. Beck draws on interviews with tribal members, stories recorded by earlier researchers, and exhaustive archival research to give us a full account of the Menominee's early history.
