Maureen Konkle. Writing Indian Nations: Native Intellectuals and the Politics of Historiography, 1827–1863. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press. 2004. Pp. viii, 367. Cloth $49.95, paper $19.95.

This comprehensive study of the written productions of mid-nineteenth-century American Indian intellectuals and activists makes a significant and welcome contribution to the growing body of scholarly work dedicated to the retrieval of the more obscure of these early writings and the revisioning of some of the more familiar ones. Maureen Konkle's study is indebted to the prior work of a number of other scholars who have addressed Native intellectuals and intellectual traditions, including LaVonne Ruoff, Barry O'Connell, Philip Deloria, and Robert Allen Warrior, but its major debt is to Vine Deloria, Jr., whose insistent focus on the continuing struggle for Native sovereignty provides the conceptual grounding for Konkle's own analysis of Native writing as a form of political negotiation and resistance. . . .
