FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Relationality is a core principle of Indigenous studies, yet there is relatively little work that assesses what building relations looks like in practice, especially in the messy context of Native nations governance. Focusing on the unique history and context of Osage nation building efforts, this insightful ethnography provides a deeper vision of the struggles Native nation leaders are currently facing. Exploring the Osage philosophy of moving to a new country as a framework for relational governance, Jean Dennison shows that for the Osage, nation building is an ongoing process of reworking colonial constraints to serve the nations own ends. As Dennison argues, Osage officials have undertaken deliberate changes to strengthen Osage relations to their language, self-governance, health, and land—core needs for a people to thrive now and into the future. Scholars and future Indigenous leaders can learn from the Osage Nations past challenges, strategies, and ongoing commitments to better enact the difficult work of Indigenous nation building. Author Biography Jean Dennison (Osage Nation) is codirector of the Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies and associate professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Washington.
