Book Review

Ruling Pine Ridge: Oglala Lakota Politics from the ira to Wounded Knee. By Akim D. Reinhardt. (Lubbock: Texas Tech University Press, 2007. xxviii, 274 pp. $34.95, ISBN 978-0-89672-601-7.)

Akim D. Reinhardt's book broadly focuses on three of the most discussed topics in American Indian history, politics, and culture: the Oglala Lakota people, the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 (IRA), and the intense relationship between the American Indian Movement (AIM), Chairman Dick Wilson, and the events culminating in Wounded Knee II, that watershed event of 1973. Each of those subjects has received ample scholarly and popular attention, but Reinhardt astutely opted to focus on how the three topics intersected, collided, and occasionally synthesized between the 1930s and the 1970s because, he says, "no one has yet done any substantial research to connect and relate them [the IRA and Wounded Knee II] within the context of domestic Oglala politics" (p. 13).
