Product Information

When Scandinavian immigrants and Dakota Indians lived side by side on a turn-of-the-century reservation, each struggled independently to preserve their language and culture. Despite this shared struggle, European settlers expanded their land ownership throughout the period while Native Americans were marginalized on the reservations intended for them. Karen Hansen captures this moment through distinctive, uniquely American voices.

Reviews
"I wish more scholars were as open as Karen Hansen in sharing the personal ties that draw them to their subject matter, and I'm so glad she followed the trail of her childhood curiosity. Her sensitive, multifaceted, gracefully written portrait of the interactions between Dakota Indians and Scandinavian immigrants-both peoples feeling far from their native lands-is fascinating. I'm not surprised she received a postcard from one of her interview subjects saying, 'Thanks for making our lives more interesting.' Readers of this book will feel the same." --Adam Hochschild, author of Bury the Chains and To End All Wars "Most 'multicultural' histories fail to capture how different groups have mutually shaped the conditions for each other's existence. In marked contrast, this remarkable account offers a layered and nuanced understanding of how the lives of indigenous Dakotas and Norwegian immigrants were deeply intertwined. Both groups resisted prevailing pressures to assimilate, but the distinct ways they were racialized led to dramatically different outcomes." --Michael Omi, University of California, Berkeley "Karen V. Hansen's study links Scandinavian immigrant history and American Indian studies in ways never before attempted. Defined by federal acts, these cultures established parallel lives on the reservation across new and delicate ideas of landownership. Hansen evinces a profound sense of how stories contribute to a shared past, and Encounter on the Great Plains deserves a firm position in the canon of American Studies." --Oyvind T. Gulliksen, Telemark University College, Norway "A compelling account of the Spirit Lake Dakota Reservation, Encounter on the Great Plains narrates the interaction of massive Indian dispossession under the Dawes Act with the Homestead policy that drew land hungry Scandinavian immigrants West. Entangled with this place by her own family's past, Karen Hansen reconstructs an immensely complicated moment through the lenses of family history, land, citizenship, and culture." --Jean O'Brien, Professor of History, University of Minnesota "How did it happen that Scandinavian immigrants and their descendants came to live together on a Dakota Indian reservation? Here is the story, profoundly human, of dispossession and occupation: deftly nuanced, deeply sourced, engagingly written. A first-rate history." --Walter Nugent, author of Into the West: The Story of Its People "Author Karen Hansen provides a fascinating and informative look at the relationships among the Norwegians, Dakota Indians, and the culture at large. She explores their conflicting perspectives and weaves the recollections of the people of the area, both European immigrant and native, together to create a remarkably detailed picture of life on the reservation for both groups. Not only do you learn a lot about the history of this area and the immigrant experience, but you also gain an understanding of, as the title suggests, the 'dispossession of Dakota Indians'... The book will both educate and entertain you with its thoughtful study of Spirit Lake Reservation society in the early 20th century. If you're looking for a good book to read on this winter's long cold nights, I can heartily recommend it!" --Anne Sladky, Telelaget of America, "I wish more scholars were as open as Karen Hansen in sharing the personal ties that draw them to their subject matter, and I'm so glad she followed the trail of her childhood curiosity.
