This work provides an important study of how the Nixon
administration dealt with Indian demands. “The
pressure created by several years of volatile Indian
demonstrations and demands undoubtedly contributed to
Richard Nixon’s proclamation of ‘Indian
self-determination’ during his reelection campaign.”
Forbes provides an in-depth analysis of the many Indian
challenges to Nixon and the national government’s
authority between 1969 and 1972, including the Occupation
of Alcatraz, Wounded Knee, and the Caravan.
