In Order That Justice May Be Done: The Legal Struggle of the Turtle Mountain Band of Pembina Chippewa, 1795-1905
By John M Shaw
When the cultural identity of the Turtle Mountain Band of Pembina Chippewa was challenged by European Americans -- who conceived of progress in terms of cultivated farmland -- a tribal-federal conundrum occurred.
Historian John M. Shaw untangles the culturally and legally contested concepts of land and its uses and ownership, providing a dynamic legal genesis of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa and their intentional action for change. Shaw presents a crucial analysis of federal policy and Native American resistance.
