AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The author illustrates how the Arapaho avoided the internal divisions between traditionalists and progressives that emerged on reservations, often fueled by European values and the Bureau of Indian Affairs' assimilation policies. The strategies are supported by examining business council politics.
