In 1904, Scandinavian settlers began moving onto the Spirit Lake Dakota Indian Reservation. These land-hungry first and second generation immigrants struggled with poverty nearly as severe as that of their Dakota neighbours, often becoming sharecropping tenants of Dakota landowners. Yet the homesteaders' impoverishment did not impede native dispossession: by 1929 Scandinavians owned more reservation land than did Dakotas. Although this historical encounter at Spirit Lake took place in a small corner of eastern North Dakota, it encapsulates the story of conquest and white settlement and the less publicized but equally important, story of the dispossession and survival of Native Americans.

It was just infuriating to read, and had she had more contact with indigenous studies as a field, she would have known to think more about kinship and sovereignty as these lenses through which to consider Dakota experience, and to think more about questions of dispossession in that way. I guess the good that came out of this book was the amount of oral histories she did, so someone can go back and use them to write a far better book than this, but this book was such a disappointment in its execution.
