Katherine Ellinghaus traces the idea of blood quantum and how the concept came to dominate Native identity and national status between 1887 and 1934 and how related exclusionary policies functioned to dispossess Native people of their land. The U.S. government's unspoken assumption at the time was that Natives of mixed descent were undeserving of tribal status and benefits, notwithstanding that Native Americans of mixed descent played crucial roles in the national implementation of allotment policy. Ellinghaus explores on-the-ground case studies of Anishinaabeg, Arapahos, Cherokees, Eastern Cherokees, Cheyennes, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, Lakotas, Lumbees, Ojibwes, Seminoles, and Virginia tribes. Documented in these cases, the history of blood quantum as a policy reveals assimilation's implications and legacy.The role of blood quantum is integral to understanding how Native Americans came to be one of the most disadvantaged groups in the United States, and it remains a significant part of present-day debates about Indian identity and tribal membership. Blood Will Tell is an important and timely contribution to current political and scholarly debates."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aIndians of North America$xEthnic identity 606 $aIndians of North America$xTribal citizenship 606 $aIndians of North America$xMixed descent 606 $aIndian allotments$xHistory$zUnited States 606 $aIndians of North America$xLand tenure 606 $aIndians of North America$xGovernment relations 606 $aIndians of North America$xCultural assimilation$xHistory 610 $aBlood quantum 615 0$aIndians of North America$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xTribal citizenship. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xMixed descent. 615 0$aIndian allotments$xHistory 615 0$aIndians of North America$xLand tenure. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xGovernment relations. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xCultural assimilation$xHistory. 676 $a970.00497 686 $aSOC021000$aHIS036040$aHIS036060$2bisacsh 700 $aEllinghaus$b Katherine $01510501 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792908903321 996 $aBlood will tell$93743207 997 $aUNINA
