Críticas:

Well written, with insights gleaned from dozens of interviews, the book will appeal to scholars and students of modern Iroquois and American Indian politics.--Journal of American History The author's narrative is enhanced by his forty years of experience as scholar and participant. Two themes dominate: the 'diversity of existence' that characterizes Seneca adaptability and the perfidiousness of American disregard.--Choice A highly detailed and eyewitness history of the threats to the Seneca nation in the late-twentieth century from development in the form of dam and road projects as well as assaults on tribal sovereignty over taxes and casinos. This history is an essential context for any anthropological analyses of Seneca culture today and suggests the importance of intimate historical knowledge for doing quality anthropology work in the present.--Anthropology Review Database Hauptman chronicles the nation's recovery from the nadir of the 1960's to becoming a major economic force in Western New York in the 2010s.--Thomas Clarkin, San Antonio College "The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography "

Reseña del editor:

Drawing on extensive federal, state, and tribal archival research, Hauptman explores the political background of the Kinzua dam while also providing a detailed, at times very personal account of the devastating impact the dam has had on the Seneca Nation and the resilience the tribe has shown in the face of this crisis.
