dc.description.abstract | Lower Yanktonai residents experienced great change during the first two decades at the Crow Creek agency in Dakota Territory. This essay traces the evolution of relations between tribal members, federal agents, and missionaries during these times of cultural confusion on the eastern side of the Missouri River. It shows how Yanktonai leaders helped their people negotiate complex intercultural relations through adaptation and resistance. Ethnohistorical analysis of agency reports and missionary accounts reveals that even when Crow Creek families acted in ways that seemed consistent with federal assimilation policy, their actions were often part of the larger Yanktonai agenda of cultural persistence. | |
