Katherine Ellinghaus, “The Benefits of Being Indian: Blood Quanta, Intermarriage, and Allotment Policy on the White Earth Reservation, 1889-1920.”
Tiya Miles, “The Narrative of Nancy, A Cherokee Woman.”
Cathleen D. Cahill, “‘You Think It Strange That I Can Love an Indian’: Native Men, White Women, and Marriage in the Indian Service.”
