Covering Presidents Washington through Johnson in an overview before turning to focus on the modern era of self-determination, Anne Flaherty offers a systematic analysis of 700 presidential statements that mention Native issues from 1969 through 2020 to evaluate whether presidents in the modern era have used their rhetorical platforms to bring attention to Native issues and to support this coherent strategy of self-determination. Flaherty provides evidence that rhetorical themes vary by administration and seem to either rely on more symbolic, historical language or to connect more clearly to the dominant platforms and messages of the president in question. The book then moves to incorporate an analysis of key outcomes compared across the administrations. The data and analysis show that federal spending, legislative outcomes, and Supreme Court decisions have not consistently supported self-determination policy over the past 50 years.
This book is a must read for scholars and students interested in indigenous politics, Native American Indian Politics, US presidency and rhetoric.
Reviews / Votes
"Dr Flaherty's use of presidential rhetoric to better understanding federal/tribal relations adds valuable insight into this important policy area."Richard Witmer, Rev. John P. Schlegel, SJ, Distinguished Professor in Politics and Government, Creighton University
"Presidential Rhetoric and Indian Policy provides a methodologically rich approach to presidential rhetoric on native nations that significantly expands our understanding of presidential rhetoric, native nations, and federal policy. Flaherty shows us how, despite Nixon's establishment of a policy of self-determination over 50 years ago, most presidents have either ignored or inconsistently discussed these important issues. It is a sobering story of how a lack of rhetorical and policy focus on native nations has left the promise of the self-determination era unrealized."
Dr Nathan Angelo, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Worcester State University
