Rebirth of the Blackfeet Nation, 1912–1954. By Paul C. Rosier. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2001. xviii, 346 pp. $65.00, ISBN 0-8032-3941-6.)

Paul C. Rosier's portrait of the Blackfeet people during the turbulent years from 1912 to 1954 is based upon archival research, government documents, interviews with selected individuals, and an appropriate secondary literature. Not a book for the fainthearted, this thick description nevertheless makes an important contribution to our understanding of how this group of American Indians responded to federal policies and sought to shape them to their benefit. A great strength of Rosier's study is his reconstruction of the way Blackfeet people struggled to construct their identity and to understand what "sovereignty" might mean in the twentieth century. Emerging from the nineteenth century, the Blackfeet had a greatly altered population: "In 1885 only 18 mixed-bloods lived among roughly 2,000 full-bloods. In 1914, 1,189 full-bloods lived among 1,452 mixed-bloods." . . .
