Choctaw Nation: A Story of American Indian Resurgence (North American Indian Prose Award)
"[A] thorough study, one grounded in current anthropological theory but surprisingly free of the discipline's wordy jargon. . . . [A] good book that tackles some complex issues . . . . [and] has value beyond its obvious purpose of describing the growth of the modern Choctaw Nation. There are, it seems, lessons here for other tribal groups that may be seeking greater autonomy or that are trying to escape from the ravages of allotment and termination." -- Paul H. Carlson "The Chronicles of Oklahoma"
