This comprehensive study by Sunday Eiselt begins with the great Athapaskan migration out of Canada during prehistoric times and ends with the forced settlement of the Jicarilla on the Dulce reservation in the 1880s. Eiselt combines archaeological and ethno¬historical data in an examination of Jicarilla strategies for self-preservation. She reveals the ideological and political imperatives of "belonging” that shaped their interactions with local communities and the state and that enabled them to avoid reservation life well into the 1880s.
