Review:
"A Fateful Time is based on solid research and will become a standard source to consult on the subject." -Raymond Wilson, The Journal of American History, June 2002 "One of the most refreshing aspects of this work is Rusco's decision to focus on Indian governments and Indian actions rather than to pay exclusive attention to white policymakers." -Kathryn A. Abbott, Pacific Northwest Quarterly, Fall 2002 "This study provides valuable descriptions of tribal governments that existed before the IRA, plausible analysis of the motivations of key actors in the reform, and a solid legislative history of this radical departure." -Greg Gagnon, Choice, May 2001

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) of 1934 has been generally acknowledged as the most important statute affecting Native Americans after the General Allotment Act of 1887, and it is probably the most important single statute affecting Native Americans during the two-thirds of a century since its passage. Over half the Native governments in the contemporary U.S. are organized under its provisions or under separate statutes that parallel the IRA in major ways. Although the impact of the IRA has been widely studied and debated, no scholar until now has looked closely at the forces that shaped its creation and passage. Author Elmer Rusco spent over a decade of research in national and regional archives and other repositories to examine the legislative intent of the IRA, including the role of issues like the nature and significance of judge-made Indian law; the allotment policy and its relation to Indian self-government; the nature of Native American governments before the IRA; the views and actions of John Collier, commissioner of Indian Affairs and leader in the campaign to reform the nations Indian policy; and the influence of relations between the president and Congress during the second year of the New Deal. Rusco also discusses the role of conflicting ideologies and interests in this effort to expand the rights of Native Americans; the general ignorance of Native American concerns and policy on the part of legislators engaged in the writing and passage of the law; and the limited but crucial impact of Indian involvement in the struggle over the IRA. This work offers an analysis of the events leading to the creation and enactment of the 1934 Indian Regorganization Act. This act has been acknowleged as the most important statute affecting native Americans after the General Allotment Act of 1887.
