Confusion and Conflict: A Study of Atypical Responses to Nineteenth Century Federal Indian Policies by the Citizen Band Potawatomis.
Hacker, Peter R.
American Indian Culture and Research Journal, v13 n1 p79-95 1989
Describes conflicts that arose when the Citizen Band Potawatomis--virtually all of whom were U.S. citizens--were granted reservation land claimed by Absentee Shawnees; government inconsistencies in treating the Citizen Band as citizens or Indians; and the shrewdness of the Band's acculturated leaders in exploiting such inconsistencies. Contains 34 references. (SV)
