The 1944 Pick-Sloan Plan created a wealth of economic opportunities for the states lying along the Missouri River. But the plan also flooded more than two hundred thousand acres of bottomlands that helped to sustain the Sioux and forced the relocation of whole communities. Dammed Indians Revisited examines how the work of the United States Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation affected the communities along the river, demonstrating the unequal relationships between the tribes and the federal government. Lawson has unearthed new information, revising his original work to bring the story up-to-date. While the flooding occurred more than sixty years ago, the impact of the plan and its ramifications for continuing tribal-federal relations remain wholly relevant in the twenty-first century.… (més)

Like some others, I found this book too impenetrable for my non-academic brain. While I'm sure it's a worthwhile subject, more specialized minds than mine will have to judge. ( )

I wanted to read this book because I am from the Midwest and interested in the ecology and politics behind water rights but it was too academic for me. Some human interest bits to lighten it up would have made it an easier read and more people would have gotten some good information. ( )

A very interesting topic, and I am glad that I stuck with the book. However, it is a very academic book, and is not geared towards the casual reader. A lot of discussion of court cases, legislation and political wrangling. To the author's credit it is well put together and is a good, if not easy read. ( )

In 1982, Michael Lawson wrote Dammed Indians, a book that chronicled the development and impact of the Pick-Sloan water management plan on the Missouri River Basin and the Native American people that lived along the river. It was a tragic story.
Almost 30 years later, Lawson has returned to the Missouri River with his book Dammed Indians Revisited. He picks up the story of the Pick-Sloan Plan and its continuing impact on the Missouri River Sioux that had once lived in the area inundated by the Pick-Sloan dams. He provides an historical narrative that weaves together the complexities of western water politics, business development, state and federal government bias, racism, and their impact on the Native American peoples living along the Missouri River.
Dammed Indians Revisited is a timely book with an important message. As water and other resources become more strained we will see more and more efforts by business and government (local, state and federal) to exercise eminent domain for a questionable common good. Dammed Indians Revisited is a cautionary tale worth reading. ( )

Excellent, almost text book in its approach to a water plan that covers several states and hundreds of miles of the Missouri River. The book is about this huge project, and the last chapter discussed what has happened in the years since the start. Any one who likes history of lives in the Missouri valley will find this of interest. ( )
