Urban Movement of Native Americans
The postwar United States (1945-1970s) saw a significant shift in the relationship between the Federal government and Native Americans, a relationship that can be explored in depth through various resources. One such resource is James B. LaGrand's book, "Indian Metropolis: Native Americans in Chicago, 1945-1975", published by the University of Illinois Press.
This study, falling under the National History Standard, Era 9: Postwar United States (1945-1970s), Standard 3: Domestic policies after World War II, delves into the specific time period of 1945 to 1975, focusing on the experiences of Native Americans in Chicago.
The book provides valuable insights into the lives of Native Americans in a metropolitan city during the mid-20th century. It sheds light on their struggles, achievements, and interactions with the wider society, offering a unique perspective on this often overlooked aspect of American history.
In addition to LaGrand's work, other National Archives resources can be utilised to further research this relationship. These resources offer a wealth of information, providing a comprehensive understanding of the period.
It is important to note that while the Chicago Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) redistribution field office posters, which represent various Native American tribes, do not provide specific tribal identifications in the available search results, the involvement of Native American activists such as members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) is noted in relation to BIA protests and actions.
This study serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the experiences of Native Americans in a metropolitan city during this time period. It provides a foundation for further research and contributes to a larger context of understanding domestic policies after World War II as outlined by the National History Standards.
Moreover, the study offers valuable insights into the relationship between the Federal government and Native Americans during the postwar United States. By understanding this relationship, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities of American history and the ongoing struggles faced by Native Americans in the modern day.
As a member from one of the listed posters might write in a letter to relatives living on the reservation about their experiences in Chicago, "The city is a bustling metropolis, filled with opportunities and challenges. But no matter where we are, we are united in our shared history and our determination to preserve our culture and identity."
