Review Of The White Earth Tragedy: Ethnicity And Dispossession At A Minnesota Anishinaabe Reservation, 1889-1920 By Melissa L. Meyer, Jerry A. Schultz
Review Of The White Earth Tragedy: Ethnicity And Dispossession At A Minnesota Anishinaabe Reservation, 1889-1920 By Melissa L. Meyer, Jerry A. Schultz
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
In this work Meyer draws primarily upon the substantial resources available from the colonial U.S. bureaucracy and other written and unwritten materials. The focus of this study is the incorporation of the Anishinaabe land and resources by Euro-Americans and the concomitant marginalization of the Anishinaabe people in Minnesota.
Migration and cultural reordering were key adaptive strategies of the Anishinaabe. Amalgamation, splintering, intermarriage, and ethnogenesis accompanied all the Anishinaabe migrations. Each migration, whether seasonal migrations before contact with Euro-Americans or the more recent migration to Minnesota, was prompted by different circumstances and led to new cultural adaptations. Meyer undermines the myth …
Review Of The Great American Outlaw: A Legacy Of Fact And Fiction By Frank Richard Prassel, David J. Bodenhamer
Review Of The Great American Outlaw: A Legacy Of Fact And Fiction By Frank Richard Prassel, David J. Bodenhamer
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Outlaws are mythic figures in American culture. They appear in many guises: gunman, desperado, rebel, fugitive, gangster, moll, highwayman, pirate, bandit, bugheway. As metaphor, they represent loss of innocence, resistance to oppressive authority and injustice, fearlessness, independence. In fact they are far less sympathetic characters. Outlaws are classic narcissists who have laid waste and ruined lives in pursuit of no higher goal than self-benefit. Even so, they remain romantic actors in our collective imagination. Instead of bank robbers and murderers, Bonnie and Clyde become Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, beautiful people whom ill fate has placed beyond the law.

Review Of The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, 1877-1900 By Orlan J. Svingen, Michael L. Tate
Review Of The Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, 1877-1900 By Orlan J. Svingen, Michael L. Tate
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
In the larger context of Plains Indian history, the Northern Cheyenne seem to drop from public consciousness following their military defeat in the campaigns of 1876-77 and their subsequent removal to an arid reservation in western Indian Territory. Mari Sandoz somewhat rescued these people from obscurity in her partially fictionalized Cheyenne Autumn (1953), which dramatized their mistreatment on the reservation, their heroic efforts to return to traditional homelands in Montana, and the bloody 1879 breakout from Ft. Robinson, Nebraska. Yet it is on that note of tragedy that their story seems to end, amid the battered bodies of fifty or …
Review Of Jewel Of The Desert: Japanese American Internment At Topaz By Sandra C. Taylor, Matthew Toshiaki Estes
Review Of Jewel Of The Desert: Japanese American Internment At Topaz By Sandra C. Taylor, Matthew Toshiaki Estes
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Until recently, the majority of the research dealing with the relocation and internment of Japanese Americans, or Nikkei as they are known among themselves, during World War II has been focused largely on the structural aspects of that experience. That is, how did the government of the United States come to the conclusion it was necessary, indeed imperative, to imprison over 120,000 men, women and children, of whom 70,000 were American citizens, singled out solely by the criteria of racial heritage. Those studies which have dealt with the internees themselves have tended to be either very broad, somewhat antiseptic accounts, …

Director's Note - Volume 4, Number 2, August 1994, John R. Wunder
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This issue marks an end of an era for Great Plains Research. Begun in 1990 as a path breaking regional interdisciplinary science and social science journal, Great Plains Research is now poised for its fifth year of existence. Recently giving it a strong vote of confidence was a review panel chosen from the Fellows of the Center for Great Plains Studies to evaluate GPR. Their report issued in the spring of 1994 noted that because of the high quality of its initial editing and article submissions, the journal has quickly established itself as a quality scientific scholarly publication with …
Review Of Battlefields And Burial Grounds: The Indian Struggle To Protect Ancestral Graves In The United States By Roger C. Echo-Hawk And Walter R. Echo-Hawk, Larry J. Zimmerman
Review Of Battlefields And Burial Grounds: The Indian Struggle To Protect Ancestral Graves In The United States By Roger C. Echo-Hawk And Walter R. Echo-Hawk, Larry J. Zimmerman
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Pawnee efforts during the late 1980s to have the remains of their ancestors returned for reburial drew international attention. Their eventual victory set many legal and ethical precedents for proper treatment of American Indian human remains. Battlefields and Burial Grounds tells the Pawnee story, but in the broader context of the national reburial issue. It is a story of dominant society science versus indigenous beliefs and rights.
The collection and study of Indian remains grew hand in hand with colonialism and the development of American archaeology. Even though there is more than adequate evidence that some of the first collectors …
Will The House Win: Does Sovereignty Rule In Indian Casinos?, Beth M. Wilkins, Beth R. Ritter
Will The House Win: Does Sovereignty Rule In Indian Casinos?, Beth M. Wilkins, Beth R. Ritter
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The historical conflict of interest between states and American Indian nations has encompassed jurisdictional disputes ranging from land rights, water rights. and taxation to civil and criminal issues. Many of these political. legal and economic disputes currently center on Indian gaming on reservations within state boundaries. The tribes have been put in the position. yet again. of fighting to define and articulate the exercise of their perceived sovereignty rights vis-a-vis the rights of the states. The federal role, as designated trustee of the tribes, has been and continues to be. an ambiguous. dynamic one. This paper explores the history, current …
Review Of Archaeology, History, And Custer's Last Battle: The Little Big Horn Reexamined By Richard Allan Fox, Jr, Mark F. Baumler
Review Of Archaeology, History, And Custer's Last Battle: The Little Big Horn Reexamined By Richard Allan Fox, Jr, Mark F. Baumler
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Already the subject of official inquiry, interviews, innumerable articles, books, symposia, movies, recreations, demonstrations, and undoubtedly more than one barroom fight-one could legitimately ask: is there anything new left to be said about Custer's' 'Last Stand" at the battle of the Little Big Horn? To the delight of some and the dismay of others, this book answers forthrightly in the affirmative and it does so convincingly.
Fox's contribution to previous efforts (both scholarly and otherwise) derives from the field of archaeology-a relative newcomer to the discussion surrounding the events of June 25, 1876. Using the material remains of the battle …
Review Of Without Reserve: Stories From Urban Natives By Lynda Shorten, Steve Potts
Review Of Without Reserve: Stories From Urban Natives By Lynda Shorten, Steve Potts
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Canada's urban Natives, like their American cousins to the south, are resilient, proud people who have weathered broken families, unemployment, pervasive alcohol and drug abuse, and rampant racism to retain a strong cultural identity and a hope for better times. Lynda Shorten's moving account of nine urban Native people from Edmonton, Alberta, reveals the complexity and diversity present in contemporary Canadian Native society. Her stories also demonstrate the havoc one culture has wreaked on another.
Shorten, a lawyer, journalist, writer, and activist, became a "walking tape recorder" to produce this book. She notes that she believes in stories; this book …
Review Of American Indian Law Deskbook By Julie Wrend And Clay Smith, Sidney L. Harring
Review Of American Indian Law Deskbook By Julie Wrend And Clay Smith, Sidney L. Harring
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The problems with this book begin with premises set out in the "Foreword." TheAmerican Indian Law Deskbook is a product of the Conference of Western Attorneys General. It was collectively written by the attorney general's offices of Montana, Utah, Idaho, Washington, North Dakota, Montana, Nevada, and Colorado because these offices "have long felt that they have been hampered [in their work] by the absence of a comprehensive and objective treatise on Indian law" (p. xiv). "Exacerbating the problem [of a complicated legal structure of Indian law] has been a relatively small amount of legal scholarship in the area of …
Reviews Of Battles And Skirmishes Of The Great Sioux War, 1876-1877: The Military View By Jerome A. Greene, Gary P. Smith
Reviews Of Battles And Skirmishes Of The Great Sioux War, 1876-1877: The Military View By Jerome A. Greene, Gary P. Smith
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Jerome Greene, a well known historian of the Indian War period, has written another important contribution to our understanding of the Indian Wars. This book, as the title suggests, describes the history of the Sioux War from the military perspective. Drawing from primary sources Greene uses historical descriptions generated by individuals who either participated in the actual conflict or were present during a battle or skirmish. This approach gives the book an original and fresh look at the events of the Indian-White conflict.
The book contains fifteen chapters dealing with individual battles or skirmishes. The preface and introduction provide a …
Review Of Crow Dog's Case: American Indian Sovereignty, Tribal Law, And United States Law In The Nineteenth Century By Sidney L. Harring, Richmond L. Clow
Review Of Crow Dog's Case: American Indian Sovereignty, Tribal Law, And United States Law In The Nineteenth Century By Sidney L. Harring, Richmond L. Clow
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
In Crow Dog's Case, Sidney L. Harring's objective was to correct the omission of tribal legal traditions from United States Indian law. The reason for this exclusion, according to Harring, is that federal Indian law historically focused on policy questions outside of tribal cultural and historical contexts while at the same time, the tribes' cultural-based legal traditions remained rooted in tribal culture and history. Confined to this policy-based judicial vision, nineteenth century courts made "ahistorical" decisions which distorted or ignored tribal jurisprudence and created a legacy of ongoing misconceptions of tribal legal traditions and customs.
Review Of The First Americans: Photographs From The Library Of Congress By William H. Goetzmann, Mary Beth Klauer
Review Of The First Americans: Photographs From The Library Of Congress By William H. Goetzmann, Mary Beth Klauer
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
For his The First Americans, Goetzmann selected photographs from the Library of Congress collection. Since their prints were offered for sale, turn-of- the-century photographers submitted copies of their work for federal copyrights. The collection does not include anthropological photographs since they were not generally sold to the public. The photos are indicative of the fascination with Native Americans which existed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Goetzmann notes that this fascination centers on the aspect of "lost innocence" from a classical, romantic point of view.
Review Of American Indian Lacrosse: Little Brother Of War By Thomas Vennum, Jr., Brian S. Butler
Review Of American Indian Lacrosse: Little Brother Of War By Thomas Vennum, Jr., Brian S. Butler
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Thomas Vennum, Jr.'s, American Indian Lacrosse is a welcome compendium of the cultural importance of lacrosse to Native Americans. Using an interesting arrangement of analysis and fictional narrative, the book examines the signal importance of lacrosse in Native American cultures throughout eastern North America. Played for centuries by many Native American societies, lacrosse has been co-opted by Anglo-America, reformed, rationalized, and ordered in a way that has divested it of the ritual importance it once found among Native Americans. Vennum's investigation re-animates a tradition that has withered among Native Americans who have been forced to abandon their cultures by Anglo-Americans. …

Introduction - Volume 4, Number 2, August 1994, John R. Wunder
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This special issue of Great Plains Research was edited by Clare McKanna, Jr., and Beth R. Ritter. The issue represents a unique interdisciplinary examination of a number of current issues facing Plains Indian peoples. These issues include gaming, education, medical problems, land titles, retribalization, and cultural retention.
Initially the idea of a special issue was proposed by Beth R. Ritter. Clare McKanna, Jr., editor of Great Plains Research, decided this would be an excellent opportunity to pursue a variety of social science approaches to Native studies, and he agreed to the proposal. Together McKanna and Ritter selected possible essays …
Review Of Long Vistas: Women And Families On Colorado Homesteads By Katherine Harris, Glenda Riley
Review Of Long Vistas: Women And Families On Colorado Homesteads By Katherine Harris, Glenda Riley
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Long Vistas is a charming odyssey which begins with Katherine Harris's own experience of western women's history and moves on to a well-written. thorough exposition regarding women homesteaders in Colorado. Harris starts with background material on the homesteading endeavor, including a discussion of railroads and water problems. About one-third of the way in she turns to women, presenting statistical charts of women's marital status, fertility, and "proving-up" rates.
This segment provides an excellent social history of women homesteaders, explaining what they brought, how much they spent, what kinds of houses they built, and what disasters they confronted. Harris has done …
Rural Population Change On The Canadian Prairies, William J. Carlyle
Rural Population Change On The Canadian Prairies, William J. Carlyle
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Rapid change is a hallmark of rural settlement on the Canadian Prairies. All the stages from the initial trickle of pioneers through the closer settlement of established farms to widespread and severe depopulation have been telescoped into a mere one to five generations. This paper focuses upon the geographical patterns of rural population change within the region during the twentieth century. Fundamental to this purpose are township population maps. Several main sub-regions of population change are identified. The grassland zones were settled relatively late, the rural population peaked early at moderate to low densities, and decline to sparse populations was …
The Effects Of Migration Upon The Quality Of Life Of Elderly Movers In A Small Prairie City: The Case Of Brandon, Manitoba, John Everitt, Barbara Gfellner
The Effects Of Migration Upon The Quality Of Life Of Elderly Movers In A Small Prairie City: The Case Of Brandon, Manitoba, John Everitt, Barbara Gfellner
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Mobility decisions and the effects of migration upon the quality of life of elderly people who had recently relocated to or within Brandon are assessed and compared with the responses ofa non-mover "control group." Although confirming many established results concerning the migration of the elderly, other conclusions also emerged. For instance, migrants and non-movers have a number of different social demographic characteristics, and their needs and desires appear to be quite dissimilar. Although non-movers appear apprehensive about the future, many movers see positive outcomes, in terms of life satisfaction, resulting from their migration. The research also raises the question of …
Ordination And Description Of Prairie Plant Communities From The Southern Missouri Coteau In South Dakota, Robert Tatina
Ordination And Description Of Prairie Plant Communities From The Southern Missouri Coteau In South Dakota, Robert Tatina
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The species composition and soil-site characteristics of three prairies from the Missouri Coteau of southeastern South Dakota were used 1) to determine the major environmental variables responsible for vegetational patterning and 2) to describe the plant communities on these prairies. Vascular plant species composition was significantly correlated (p < 0.01) with a suite of variables that strongly influence available soil moisture, and with soil pH and conductivity. Cluster analysis yielded five groups at the 38% similarity level. From the lowest (in elevation) and most mesic to the highest and most xeric, the five groups (communities) are: wet meadows with prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link) and sedge (Carex praegracilis W Boott.) as the most important species; meadows with prairie cordgrass and switch grass (Panicum virgatum L.); swales with Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) and big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman); slopes with Kentucky bluegrass, sideoats grama (Bouteloua curtipendula [Michx.j Torr.), …
Review Of Life At Four Corners: Religion, Gender, And Education In A German-Lutheran Community, 1868-1945 By Carol K. Coburn, Susan Rugh
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
As historians of immigration have turned their sights from the cities to the countryside, they have discovered "ethnic islands" which retained Old World cultures to a greater degree than urban immigrant clusters. In this thoughtful study, Carol Coburn shows that the village of Block, Kansas was an extreme case in its isolation, homogeneity, and the durability of its ethnic culture. Therefore, while Block may not be representative, its past provides an opportunity to study the mechanisms by which an ethnic island maintained a distinctive way of life within mainstream American culture.
Coburn argues that the German Lutheran culture of Block's …
Review Of The Proper Edge Of The Sky: The High Plateau Country Of Utah By Edward A. Geary, John A. Butler
Review Of The Proper Edge Of The Sky: The High Plateau Country Of Utah By Edward A. Geary, John A. Butler
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Near the end of his introduction, Edward A. Geary states that "the pages that follow are neither guidebook, nor travel narrative, nor natural history, nor social history, nor literary history, nor personal essay, though they incorporate elements from all these genres" (p. 3). While the work does challenge classification, it presents a massive accumulation of details that vividly portrays the interaction between an extraordinary landscape and a remarkable people. Geary accomplishes this through twelve intriguing chapters.
Review Of Oklahoma Bird Life By F. M. And A. M. Baumgartner, Jack D. Tyler

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This long-awaited book lives up to its advanced billing. Quarto size, it is bound in durable blue cloth, and the paper is of high quality. The layout is uncrowded, and the print is quite legible. Spelling and grammatical errors are comparatively rare. There are 159 black-and-white photographs, three maps, and 26 tables. Preliminary sections give background and explanatory information, including a checklist of Oklahoma birds (through 1987) that follows the latest AOU edition (1983). Seasonal and regional statuses for each of the 447 species are listed, plus a color plate number where each is illustrated in the center of the …
A Review Of White-Tailed Deer Movements In The Great Plains Relative To Environmental Conditions, Kurt C. Vercauteren, Scott E. Hygnstrom
A Review Of White-Tailed Deer Movements In The Great Plains Relative To Environmental Conditions, Kurt C. Vercauteren, Scott E. Hygnstrom
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Movements of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Rafinesque) in the eastern Great Plains and Midwest were examined. The proportion of deer that move between distinct summer and winter home ranges varies among different populations. Seasonal migration between home ranges is influenced primarily by phenological period, agricultural activities, and the availability of cover and food. Corn provides a nearly unlimited source of cover and food in summer and early fall. In late fall and early winter, deer move to areas of permanent cover, such as wooded river bottoms, draws, or slopes. Hunting, crop harvest, or seasonal change may influence deer movements …
Sensitivity Of Streamflow To Climate Change: A Case Study For Nebraska, Clinton M. Rowe, Karl C. Kuivinen, Francisco Flores-Mendeza
Sensitivity Of Streamflow To Climate Change: A Case Study For Nebraska, Clinton M. Rowe, Karl C. Kuivinen, Francisco Flores-Mendeza
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Climate change, whether natural or due to human action, will have an impact on many aspects of our environment. The nature of streamflow changes will depend on the magnitude and direction of the climate change. However, since the principal climatic factors that control streamflow are precipitation and evapotranspiration (which can be estimated from air temperature data), the sensitivity ofstreamflow to variations in climate can be studied through the use of plausible scenarios of climate change.
A simple water budget model was used to reconstruct streamflow from monthly temperature and precipitation data for locations within and immediately surrounding the Little Blue …
Review Of Gentle Conquest: The Botanical Discovery Of North America With Illustrations From The Library Of Congress By James L. Reveal, Richard A. Overfield
Review Of Gentle Conquest: The Botanical Discovery Of North America With Illustrations From The Library Of Congress By James L. Reveal, Richard A. Overfield
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The main feature of Gentle Conquest is the abundance of beautiful illustrations of plants from the collection of the Library of Congress. Around these pictures James L. Reveal has spun a nice, brief account of the naturalists who collected these plants. There are 135 illustrations and pictures, eighty-four in color, forty-three are full page, and most are paintings of plants.
Contrary to the title, the narrative is confined largely to what becomes the United States. The approach is primarily "American frontier": thus the first four chapters cover the period of European colonization, a chapter each on the 1500s and 1600s …
Quantifying The Effect Of Technology And Management On Wheat Yields In The Western Great Plains, Elizabeth Law-Evans, Paul A. Kay
Quantifying The Effect Of Technology And Management On Wheat Yields In The Western Great Plains, Elizabeth Law-Evans, Paul A. Kay
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
The relative influences of interannual climate variability, technological development, and management strategies on crop yields are difficult to separate. Assessment of climate impacts and of an agricultural system s ability to protect crops from weather-related yield changes are important questions receiving considerable attention in view of the potential for climate change. Statistical and ecological crop-climate studies have assumed that the combined effects of technology and management have produced linear or exponential yield increases in most crops in recent years.
In this study, an empirical assessment of influences of management and technology on wheat yields in north-central Colorado was made using …
Review Of Science With Practice: Charles E. [Edwin] Bessey And The Maturing Of American Botany By Richard A. Overfield, Linda Johnson Rossi
Review Of Science With Practice: Charles E. [Edwin] Bessey And The Maturing Of American Botany By Richard A. Overfield, Linda Johnson Rossi
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
Science with Practice thoroughly treats the professional life of Charles Edwin Bessey, a prominent nineteenth-century American scientist, professor, and educational reformer, who helped to lay the foundation of modern plant biology. The book focuses on Bessey as a prime promoter of the laboratory as an important learning center in college and university teaching of botany and agriculture. Bessey used his broad knowledge of plant classification to innovate the Bessey System, one that is still in use. It explains Bessey in the context of American botany-student of Asa Gray and intellectual forebear of the American botanists Roscoe Pound, Pier A. Rydberg, …

Review Of Symposium On The Impacts Of Climatic Change And Variability On The Great Plains By Geoffrey Wall, Paul A. Kay
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)
This book collects the papers from a 1990 symposium in Calgary that brought American and Canadian experts together to share knowledge and insights on the regional implications of global change. The symposium was sponsored by government agencies on both sides of the border, attesting to the recognition of the importance of the issues and implications. The volume opens with nine overview papers on climatic change, climate models, scenarios of international and Plains agriculture under climatic change, socioeconomic adaptability, and response strategies. The following six topical sections each contain five or six brief papers (most with short bibliographies) by specialists. Introductory …
