The struggle for self-determination history of the Menominee Indians since 1854

Drawing on meticulous archival research and a close working relationship with the Menominee Historic Preservation Department, David R.M. Beck picks up where his earlier work, Siege and Survival: History of the Menominee Indians, 1634-1856, ended. The Struggle for Self-Determination begins with the establishment of a small reservation in the Menominee homeland in northeastern Wisconsin at a time when the Menominee economic, political, and social structure came under aggressive assault. For the next hundred years the tribe attempted to regain control of its destiny, enduring successive policy attacks by governmental, religious, and local business sources.
