Bartering with the Bones of Their Dead: The Colville Confederated Tribes and Ter

Description: Bartering with the Bones of Their Dead by Laurie Arnold Tells the story of a tribe whose members waged a painful and sometimes bitter twenty-year struggle among themselves about whether to give up their status as a sovereign nation FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Bartering with the Bones of their Dead tells the unique story of a tribe whose members waged a painful and sometimes bitter twenty-year struggle among themselves about whether to give up their status as a sovereign nation. Over one hundred federally recognized Indian tribes and bands lost their sovereignty after the Eisenhower Administration enacted a policy known as termination, which was carefully designed to end the federal-Indian relationship and to dissolve Indian identity. Most tribes and bands fought this policy; the Colville Confederated Tribes of north-central Washington State offer a rare example of a tribe who pursued termination.Some Colville tribal members who favored termination wanted a life free from federal supervision and a return to the era when each band of the confederation managed its own affairs. Other termination advocates simply sought the financial payout that termination promised. Opponents of termination wanted to protect tribal identities and lands, hoped to preserve the Colville heritage and homeland for future generations, and sought to compel the federal government to live up to its promises. Laurie Arnold tells the story of those years on the Colville reservation with the perspective both of a thorough and careful historian and of an insider who grew up listening to the voices and memories of her elders.Watch the book trailer: _jvwYb6z0 Notes Tells the story of a tribe whose members waged a painful and sometimes bitter twenty-year struggle among themselves about whether to give up their status as a sovereign nation Author Biography Laurie Arnold is the director of Native American Initiatives at the University of Notre Dame.

Appendix: Major Legislation Affecting the Colville Confederated Tribes Notes References Index Review "Bartering with the Bones of Their Dead is a significant contribution to the field of 20th-century American Indian policy studies. Laurie Arnolds historical case study of her own tribal communitys fractured reaction to federal termination efforts provides a nuanced view of American Indian responses to the difficult issues they faced. Arnold does a masterful job piecing together a complex and painful era of Colville history. In doing so, she broadens our understandings of intra-tribal decision making and local impacts of federal initiatives." David R. M.
