From the book jacket "Although the Jacksonian period has long been recognized as a watershed era in American Indian policy (the general form of the present system of Indian affairs was established at that time), it has heretofore lacked a comprehensive, systematic investigation o f ts Indian policy. This new study amply fills that gap, analyzing from the perspectives of both ethnohistory and public administration the formulation, execution, and results of government policy of the 1830s and '40s."

An American Indian historian with a specialty in Indian treaties and treaty rights. He has been a consultant of Indian history and treaty rights to several American Indian tribes and organizations, including the Native American Rights Fund, the American Indian Language and Culture Education Board of the State of Wisconsin, and the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission. In 1991, Satz received the State Historical Society of Wisconsin's Award of Merit for Distinguished Service to History for his "Chippewa Treaty Rights". The Jacksonian period has long been recognized as a watershed era in American Indian policy. Ronald N. Satz's American Indian Policy in the Jacksonian Era uses the perspectives of both ethnohistory and public administration to analyze the formulation, execution, and results of government policies of the 1830s and 1840s. In doing so, he examines the differences between the rhetoric and the realities of those policies and furnishes a much-needed corrective to many simplistic stereo-types about Jacksonian Indian policy. After opening with a critical examination of the interplay of constitutional issues, personal ambitions, and partisan politics that led to the passage of the Removal Act of 1830, the author turns to a detailed consideration of the actual experiences of the Choctaws, the first major Indian group to emigrate west under the act. Based on intensive research into primary sources for the period, Professor Satz's study shows many of the old stereotypes concerning Jacksonian Indian policy (among others, those of Jackson's alleged hatred of Indians and his defiance of the Supreme Court in the case of Worcester v. Georgia) to be simplistic. He provides a much needed corrective. Seller Inventory # 80482
