Choctaw Nation Is A Story Of Tribal Nation Building In The Modern Era. Valerie Lambert Treats Nationbuilding Projects As Nothing New To The Choctaws Of Southeastern Oklahoma, Who Have Responded To A Number Of Hardhitting Assaults On Choctaw Sovereignty And Nationhood By Rebuilding Their Tribal Nation. Drawing On Field Research, Oral Histories, And Archival Sources, Lambert Explores The Struggles And Triumphs Of A Tribe Building A New Government And Launching An Ambitious Program Of Economic Development In The Late Twentieth Century, Achieving A Partial Restoration Of The Tribes Former Glory As A Significant Political And Economic Presence In What Is Now The United States.An Enrolled Citizen Of The Choctaw Nation Who Was Reared In Oklahoma, Lambert Describes In Vivid Detail What This Nation Building Has Meant For The Choctaw People And For Nonindians. Choctaw Nation Building Has Strengthened The Tribes Ongoing Efforts To Defend Their Sovereignty And Protect Their Rights To Land, Water, And Other Natural Resources. It Has Also Helped Produce New Ways Of Imagining, Constructing, And Expressing Choctaw Identity. Yet, As Choctaw Nation Also Shows, Choctaw Sovereigntythe Bedrock Of Choctaw Empowermentremains Under Threat, As Tribal Sovereignty Is Not Only A Bundle Of Inherent Rights But Also An Ongoing, Complex Consequence Of Native Initiatives And Negotiations On Local, State, And National Levels.In Addition To Wrestling With The Topics Of Sovereignty, Identity, Tribal Nationalism, And Contemporary Tribal Governance, This Book Gives Considerable Ethnographic Attention To Tribal Elections, Nonindians, Urban Indians, Economic Development, And Tribal Water Rights.
