In the 1870s, the Shoshone-Bannock found themselves confined to the Fort Hall Reservation in the resource-rich Snake River Valley of Idaho, reeling from traumatic demographic decline and facing encroaching white settlers intent on gaining control of their tribal resources. How they responded to these moral and material crises is the focus of John Heaton's fine study, which joins a growing list of works on Native American political economy, including books by Colleen O'Neill, Fred Hoxie, Brian Hosmer, and David Rich Lewis. |
