At the beginning of the 20th century, Native Americans from various tribes and walks of life organized and expressed themselves in the context of assimilationist federal policies. They produced a rich and complex discourse about diverse problems that Native Americans were confronted to at the time. Doing so, they initiated a conquest of their intellectual sovereignty, expressing nuanced and constructive positions regarding federal policies that targeted them. Thus, in the margins of US society, these Native American intellectuals exerted a powerful creative force likely to integrate Native Americans within US culture and society. |
