- Abstract
I am glad that Julie Reed turned her attention to the responses by Indigenous peoples to the 1871 Indian Appropriations Act (IAA), which formally abolished the practice of treaty-making with Native nations. So if the IAA of 1871 was, as Reed argues, part of a domino effect, which domino was it? The Cherokees were, as Reed and many other historians have pointed out, skilled and adept builders of institutions in the Indian Territory.[1] They healed themselves after the trauma of their expulsion from the southern states.
