Overview
Editorial Reviews
Western Historical Quarterly
“In this important new work, Paul Rosier looks deeply into the dynamics of the Blackfeet community as the group adapted to reservation life. . . . This is a thorough, balanced, and conceptually sound analysis.”—Larry Burt, Western Historical Quarterly
— Larry Burt
American Studies
“An outstanding book on one tribe’s experience of their internal struggles in embracing the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act and the termination era of the early 1950s.”—George Heavy Runner, American Studies
— George Heavy Runner
American Historical Review
“A long overdue addition to the sparse scholarship on Native political and economic activism in the twentieth century.”—Melissa L. Meyer, American Historical Review
— Melissa L. Meyer
Great Plains Quarterly
“Rosier's book is excruciatingly revealing, honest, and important. . . . Rosier's work is an eloquent account of a people who have been though the worst of times and still view every day as one of promise.”—Great Plains QuarterlyJournal of Interdisciplinary History
“Dense, detailed, and rewarding.”—Stephen Cornell, Journal of Interdisciplinary History
— Stephen Cornell
Journal of American Ethnic History
“Paul Rosier’s superb monograph deals with the intense economic and political efforts of the Blackfeet to collectively emancipate themselves from their own earlier political paradigms, from poverty and dependency, and from the wardship of the federal government. . . . The novelty and originality of this work rests on the focus that Rosier brings to the largely unnoticed and unwritten Blackfeet story of mixed-blood involvement, leadership, and commitment to a tribal future that was broadly inclusive and decidedly Indian.”—William E. Farr, Journal of American Ethnic History
— William E. Farr
H-Net Reviews
“A well-researched, sophisticated political history of the Blackfeet in the early to mid-twentieth century. Shifting tribal history away from the nineteenth-century tribal wars, he presents a portrait of people finding ways to contend with the paternalistic federal government. . . . Rebirth of the Blackfeet Nation is a masterful, sensitive book.”—Scott Meridith, H-Net Reviews

Interviews, democratic theory, and extensive archival research are among the tools Rosier (history, Villanova U.) brings to his story of the North American people during the first half of the 20th century. He describes how, like other native nations, at the beginning of the century they suffered from the cultural and economic effects of land loss, poverty, forced education, and overt political control by the US government. By the end of his tale, he finds that they had undergone a rapid and complex political and economic transformation, and looks at how and why the changes happened. Annotation c.
