Nothing short of first-rate Aug 03, 1999
For anyone interested in the background, impact, and future of the Pick-Sloan Plan, you need look no further than Lawson's aptly titled "Dammed Indians". The tribes from Gavins Point Dam near Yankton, SD to Ft. Peck Dam in Montana have all been adversely affected with the damming of the Missouri River, a truth which Lawson documents with precision and skill. Originally a Ph.D. dissertation written in the history department at the University of New Mexico, Lawson is a fine example of some of the many outstanding American West historians who have come out of that institution.

Excellent research. Sep 18, 2009 By M. Ashley
This book was a gift for my father. When he was released from the Army Air Corp and returned to the Crow Creek Reservation, he was elected Tribal Chairman. The Pick-Sloan Plan was his first challenge. He testified before congress and stood up for Crow Creek with very little support from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. He says that this book tells it like it was and it should be read.
