Katherine Ellinghaus traces the idea of blood quantum and how the concept came to dominate Native identity and national status between 1887 and 1934 and how related exclusionary policies functioned to dispossess Native people of their land. The U.S. government's unspoken assumption at the time was that Natives of mixed descent were undeserving of tribal status and benefits, notwithstanding that Native Americans of mixed descent played crucial roles in the national implementation of allotment policy. Ellinghaus explores on-the-ground case studies of Anishinaabeg, Arapahos, Cherokees, Eastern Cherokees, Cheyennes, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, Lakotas, Lumbees, Ojibwes, Seminoles, and Virginia tribes. Documented in these cases, the history of blood quantum as a policy reveals assimilation's implications and legacy. The role of blood quantum is integral to understanding how Native Americans came to be one of the most disadvantaged groups in the United States, and it remains a significant part of present-day debates about Indian identity and tribal membership. Blood Will Tell is an important and timely contribution to current political and scholarly debates."-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "A study of the role blood quantum played in the assimilation period between 1887 and 1934 in the United States"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 610 10 $a United States. $t General Allotment Act (1887) 610 10 $a United States. $t Indian Reorganization Act. 630 07 $a General Allotment Act (United States : 1887) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01384420 630 07 $a Indian Reorganization Act (United States) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01361690 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Ethnic identity. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Tribal citizenship. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Mixed descent. 650 0 $a Indian allotments $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Land tenure. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Government relations. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x History. $x History. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Native American Studies. $x Native American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $z United States $x 19th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $z United States $x 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Indian allotments. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969020 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Cultural assimilation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969695 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Ethnic identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969733 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Government relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969761 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Land tenure. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969807 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969825 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Mixed descent. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969853 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Tribal citizenship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969946 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 653 $a Blood quantum 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211023713.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190523010020.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802031104.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=118AF062621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
