Choctaw Nation is a story of tribal nation building in the modern era. Valerie Lambert treats nation-building projects as nothing new to the Choctaws of southeastern Oklahoma, who have responded to a number of hard-hitting assaults on Choctaw sovereignty and nationhood by rebuilding their tribal nation. Drawing on field research, oral histories, and archival sources, Lambert explores the struggles and triumphs of a tribe building a new government and launching an ambitious program of economic development in the late twentieth century, achieving a partial restoration of the tribe's former glory as a significant political and economic presence in what is now the United States. An enrolled citizen of the Choctaw Nation who was reared in Oklahoma, Lambert describes in vivid detail what this nation building has meant for the Choctaw people and for non-Indians. Choctaw nation building has strengthened the tribe's ongoing efforts to defend their sovereignty and protect their rights to land, water, and other natural resources. It has also helped produce new ways of imagining, constructing, and expressing Choctaw identity. Yet, as Choctaw Nation also shows, Choctaw sovereignty--the bedrock of Choctaw empowerment--remains under threat, as tribal sovereignty is not only a bundle of inherent rights but also an ongoing, complex consequence of Native initiatives and negotiations on local, state, and national levels. In addition to wrestling with the topics of sovereignty, identity, tribal nationalism, and contemporary tribal governance, this book gives considerable ethnographic attention to tribal elections, non-Indians, urban Indians, economic development, and tribal water rights.

Runs small but great quality for the price
Size: 10 Years, Color: Black
I sized up hoping to get something a little bigger to grow into, however this suite runs small. If I had ordered the real size it would be too small. I ordered a 7 for my 6 year old and a 10 for my 8 year old. The size 10 was missing the suspenders and came with a real tie not a bow tie unlike what is in the description.

Old World Charm

What a great value! The fit is nice. The bow tie that comes with it doesn't match. We never tried the suspenders. The pocket for the pocket square is very shallow since the white one is sewn in. The highlight is the vest. Buy or borrow a pocket watch. It makes the outfit!

Nice, affordable suit! Surprised how well it fit. 6' 1" 195 lb son wore to prom. Pants were a tad short but he didn't care. Looked sharp.
