Book Review

The Choctaws in Oklahoma: From Tribe to Nation, 1855–1970. By Clara Sue Kidwell. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2007. xx, 320 pp. $34.95, ISBN 978-0-8061-3826-8.)

While the title of the book implies a broad coverage of the Choctaw, the book is actually the second volume of the American Indian Law and Policy series from the University of Oklahoma Press. It is limited to the political and legal processes that resulted in the establishment of the Choctaw nation of Oklahoma. The book provides a nuanced account of the legal and political history of the Choctaw people. It is a story of tenacity and innovation that demonstrates the complexities of the ongoing, dynamic relations between the Choctaw nation and the federal government.
