  During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the federal government sought to forcibly assimilate Native Americans into American society through systematised land allotment. Rose Stremlau illuminates the impact of this policy on the Cherokee Nation, particularly within individual families and communities in modern-day northeastern Oklahoma.
