Neither Wolf Nor Dog: American Indians, Environment, and Agrarian Change by Davi

Description: Neither Wolf Nor Dog by David Rich Lewis A study of three diverse Native American groups: the Northern Ute, Hupa, and Papago, which explores the ways in which these peoples responded to social, subsistence, and environmental changes entailed by settled reservations and allotted agriculture, and how this helps to reveal how American Indians in general responded to these cultural changes. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description During the nineteenth century, Americans looked to the eventual civilization and assimilation of Native Americans through a process of removal, reservation, and directed culture change. Policies for directed subsistence change and incorporation had far-reaching social and environmental consequences for native peoples and native lands. This study explores the experiences of three groups--Northern Utes, Hupas, and Tohono Oodhams--with settled reservation and allottedagriculture in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Each group inhabited a different environment, and their cultural traditions reflected distinct subsistence adaptations to life in the westernUnited States. Each experienced the full weight of federal agrarian policy yet responded differently, in culturally consistent ways, to subsistence change and the resulting social and environmental consequences. Attempts to establish successful agricultural economies ultimately failed as each group reproduced their own cultural values in a diminished and rapidly changing environment. In the end, such policies and agrarian experiences left Indian farmers marginally incorporated and economicallydependent. Author Biography David Rich Lewis is Associate Professor of History at Utah State University and Associate Editor of the Western Historical Quarterly. Review "An important addition to the growing body of literature about the origins of Native American economic dependency....Recommended for readers at all levels."--CHOICE"The solid prose in Neither Wolf Nor Dog reflects thorough research and scholarship....By making American Indians historical actors and by listening to their voices, Lewis makes this a model study."--Nebraska History"An excellent book....This study will be useful for anyone interested in the agricultural and environmental history of the West. Moreover, much of his study concerns the twentieth century, and it can be used to generalize about the agricultural and environmental experiences of Native Americans throughout the region as they attempted to accommodate a white-controlled world."--Environmental History Review"David Rich Lewis has written an extraordinarily perceptive analysis of attempts of the United States to force agriculture upon three nineteenth-century Native American tribes....Lewiss book is well-researched, documented, and nicely-written. It will be useful to students and scholars in a variety of disciplines surrounding western American history and Native American studies.
