Laurie Arnold tells the story of those years on the Colville reservation with the perspective both of a thorough and careful historian and of an insider who grew up listening to the voices and memories of her elders.
Opponents of Termination wanted to protect tribal identities and lands, hoped to preserve the Colville heritage and homeland for future generations, and sought to compel the federal government to live up to its promises.
Other Termination advocates simply sought the financial payout that Termination promised.
Some Colville tribal members who favored Termination wanted a life free from federal supervision and a return to the era when each band of the confederation managed its own affairs.
Most Tribes and bands fought this policy; the Colville Confederated Tribes of north-central Washington State offer a rare example of a tribe who pursued termination.
Over one hundred federally recognized Indian Tribes and bands lost Their sovereignty after the Eisenhower Administration enacted a policy known as termination, which was carefully designed to end the federal-Indian relationship and to dissolve Indian identity.
