David W. Daily. Battle for the BIA: G. E. E. Lindquist and the Missionary Crusade against John Collier. Tucson: University of Arizona Press. 2004. Pp. xii, 216. $39.95.

David W. Dailey's new monograph is an important addition to the historiography of Franklin D. Roosevelt's Indian New Deal. Daily is especially interested in the troubled relationship between the leader of the Protestant missionaries, G.E.E. Lindquist, and Roosevelt's chief Indian affairs architect, John Collier. Thus the book's title, is an apt one. This title, however, does not adequately describe the complex politics of inserting religion on the reservation and in the halls of the Bureau of Indian affairs. Dailey spotlights the cultural clash between powerful missionaries seeking to retain their influence over Indian policy and equally insistent, secular Indian New Dealers determined to overturn decades of assimilation efforts largely designed, implemented, and supported by Protestant missionaries. This study adds a new dimension to our understanding of federal/tribal relations in the first half of the twentieth century by revealing just how influential missionaries were in forging federal Indian policies right up to the battle over termination in the 1950s.
