9410504 Demallie This Dissertation Improvement research is an ethnographic and ethnohistorical analysis of the effects of one piece of federal Indian policy--The Dawes Act--on Lakota Sioux identity. It examines the local social categories of "fullblood," and "white" in a South Dakota county that seceded from Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in 1912. This study explores the linkages between the creation and maintenance of such local social categories and federal Indian policies. Additionally, this is the first study to pay special attention to the settlement of the area by both Lakotas, who were relegated to the area through the reservation system, and non-Indians who homesteaded the area when it was opened to non-Indian settlement. This study employs traditional anthropological methods of participant-observation and the recording of life histories from consultants in all three social categories who are as old as or older than the county itself. Coupled with the anthropological data, the examination of historical and ethnohistorical documents written in both English and Lakota languages will illuminate ongoing processes involved in the maintenance of social categories in Bennett County.

9410504 Demallie这篇论文的改进研究是对一项联邦印第安政策——《道斯法案》——对拉科塔苏族身份的影响的民族志和民族历史分析。它考察了1912年从松树岭印第安保留地分离出来的南达科他州一个县的当地社会类别，即“纯种”和“白人”。本研究探讨了这些地方社会类别的创造和维持与联邦印度政策之间的联系。此外，这是第一个特别关注拉科塔人在该地区定居的研究，拉科塔人是通过保留区制度被下放到该地区的，而非印第安人则是在该地区向非印第安人开放定居后定居的。这项研究采用了传统的人类学方法，即参与者观察和记录来自所有三个社会类别的顾问的生活史，这些顾问的年龄与该县本身一样大或更大。结合人类学数据，对用英语和拉科塔语言撰写的历史和民族历史文献的研究将阐明贝内特县维持社会类别的持续过程。
