In Going Indian, anthropologist James Hamill explores what it means to be "Indian" in Oklahoma. Hamill argues that there exists among many Native people in Oklahoma an "Indian" identity, which is distinct, though not exclusive, from specific tribal identities such as Navajo or Apache. This Indian identity, Hamill shows, has changed over time, has been frequently contested among Native peoples themselves, and has, to some degree, been constructed by Indians' interactions with white Americans. |
