Amid the decline of U.S. military campaigns against Native Americans in the late nineteenth century| assimilation policy arose as the new front in the Indian Wars| with its weapons the deployment of culture and law| and its locus the American Indian home and family. In this groundbreaking interdisciplinary work| Piatote tracks the double movement of literature and law in the contest over the aims of settler-national domestication and the defense of tribal-national culture| political rights| and territory.
