Review Quotes: "The Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma: Triumph over Adversity is a wonderful contribution to a growing body of scholarship that links scholars with communities and best demonstrates the importance of collaborative scholarship. In its very approach, it breaks boundaries and suggests new avenues for community-based collaborations between Native people and non-Native scholars."--James Joseph Buss, author of Winning the West with Words: Language and Conquest in the Lower Great Lakes
