“Oneida—A place called home. To gain a true perspective, one must be able to appreciate the past to move forward. Dr. Kiel provides a clear and rich narrative of perseverance and grit as the Oneida Nation moves from rags to riches. The story continues . . . ”—Norbert S. Hill Jr., Oneida Nation of Wisconsin “A landmark history that reads across several archives to tell an untold story of an Indigenous ordinary: labor, care for land, and the vibrant life of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin. In doing so, this is a book that also documents extraordinary and sustained pushback at every turn against assimilation and disappearance.”—Audra Simpson, author of Mohawk Interruptus: Political Life Across the Borders of Settler States “A fascinating study that illuminates the highly local opportunities and challenges that Native nations confronted as they transformed their governance over the twentieth century. Kiel’s eye-opening volume offers the best account yet of the late-twentieth-century backlash against Native resurgence that Kiel terms the ‘anti-sovereignty movement.’”—Greg Ablavsky, Stanford Law School “An outstanding work of scholarship that narrates, for the first time, the story of Oneida Nation survival over the course of the long twentieth century.”—Daniel Cobb, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
