Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twenties, the SAI declined and the direction of Pan-Indian efforts shifted. Pan-Indian fraternal movements arose that were more in keeping with the spirit of the times than was reformism. Based in towns and cities, the fraternal orders and social clubs provided a means for urban Indians to retain or regain an Indian identity. The Indian New Deal, which radically changed governmental policy, provided a new context for Pan-Indianism.The author examines briefly developments since 1934. Her concluding chapter places the various Pan-Indian movements in historical perspective.The research for this study included extensive use of a wide variety of primary sources—journals published by 1he Indian groups, collections of documents and letters, governmental records, and interviews with Indians, anthropologists, and government officials." -- Publisher.
