Controversy surrounded the project, with local Native communities anticipating the devastation of their way of life and white settler-descended advocates of the dam envisioning a future of thriving infrastructure and industry. In In Defense of Wyam, having secured access to hundreds of previously unknown and unexamined letters, Katrine Barber revisits the subject of Death of Celilo Falls, her first book. She presents a remarkable alliance across the opposed Native and settler-descended groups, chronicling how the lives of two women leaders converged in a shared struggle to protect the Indian homes of Celilo Village. Flora Thompson, member of the Warm Springs Tribe and wife of the Wyam chief, and Martha McKeown, daughter of an affluent white farming family, became lifelong allies as they worked together to protect Oregon's oldest continuously inhabited site. As a Native woman, Flora wielded significant power within her community yet outside of it was dismissed for her race and her gender. Martha, although privileged due to her settler origins, turned to women's clubs to expand her political authority beyond the conventional domestic sphere. Flora's and Martha's coordinated efforts offer readers meaningful insight into a time and place where the rhetoric of Native sovereignty, the aims of environmental movements in the American West, and women's political strategies intersected.Relations interethniquesOregon (États-Unis)20e siecleramFemmesÉtats-UnisOregon (États-Unis)20e siecleBiographiesramIndiennes d'AmeriqueÉtats-UnisOregon (États-Unis)20e siecleBiographiesramIndiens d'AmeriqueRelations avec l'ÉtatÉtats-UnisOregon (États-Unis)20e siecleramIndiens d'AmeriqueTransfertÉtats-UnisOregon (États-Unis)20e siecleramIndiens d'AmeriqueTerresÉtats-UnisOregon (États-Unis)20e siecleramIndians of North AmericaGovernment relationsfast(OCoLC)fst00969761Indians of North AmericaLand tenurefast(OCoLC)fst00969807Indians of North AmericaRelocationfast(OCoLC)fst00969891WhitesRelations with Indiansfast(OCoLC)fst01174826Womenfast(OCoLC)fst01176568Wyam Indiansfast(OCoLC)fst01181754White peopleColumbia River ValleyRelations with IndiansWyam IndiansBiographyWomenOregonCeliloBiographyIndians of North AmericaRelocationOregonCeliloIndians of North AmericaOregonCeliloGovernment relationsIndians of North AmericaLand tenureOregonCeliloOregongndColumbia RivergndCelilo FallsgndUnited StatesColumbia River ValleyfastOregonCelilofastCelilo (Or.)HistoryHistory.Biographies.Electronic books.Relations interethniquesFemmesBiographies.Indiennes d'AmeriqueBiographies.Indiens d'AmeriqueRelations avec l'ÉtatIndiens d'AmeriqueTransfertIndiens d'AmeriqueTerresIndians of North AmericaGovernment relations.Indians of North AmericaLand tenure.Indians of North AmericaRelocation.WhitesRelations with Indians.Women.Wyam Indians.White peopleRelations with Indians.Wyam IndiansWomenIndians of North AmericaRelocationIndians of North AmericaGovernment relations.Indians of North AmericaLand tenure323.1197079562Barber Katrineaut913583MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910466932803321In defense of Wyam2464575UNINA
