Book Review

The Struggle for Self-Determination: History of the Menominee Indians since 1854. By David R. M. Beck. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2005. xxvii + 290 pp. Illustrations, maps, tables, appendix, notes, bibliography, index. $49.95, £37.95.)

David Beck examines the rich and complex record about the Menominee Tribe from the formation of its Wisconsin reservation in 1854 through the twentieth century to answer how the Menominee Tribe survived the "flood of European- and Euro-American induced incursions into their land, lives and culture" (p. i). Beck primarily questions how Menominee identity and world-view shaped the tribal response to events and issues imposed on reservation residents by outsiders, and he places the Menominee in an adversarial position with government officials, most of whom used the tribe and its treaty-reserved resources for their own interests. Tribal actors, as individuals or as factions organized around Menominee and Christian institutions, face the externally invoked crisis.
