Descrição: American Indian family history has evolved through several phases since the late 1980s. For anthropologists, the family is the basic organizing unit of Indian societies, and kinship relations are key to a true understanding of American Indian peoples. For demographers and sociologists, the statistics on American Indian families gleaned from census records can show the effects of federal policies on Indian communities by changes in family structures over time. For social historians, family history is the fine-grained account of daily life and relationships that illuminates the broad trends of historical inquiry. Kidwell talks about the importance of family, and using her own family as an example, she discusses the struggle of Choctaws in building new homes in Indian Territory as a part of the Oklahoma experience.
