In 1972, the Bureau of Indian Affairs terminated its twenty-year-old Voluntary Relocation Program, which encouraged the mass migration of roughly 100,000 Native American people from rural to urban areas. At the time the program ended, many groups--from government leaders to Red Power activists--had already classified it as a failure, and scholars have subsequently positioned the program as evidence of America's enduring settler-colonial project. But Douglas K. Miller here argues that a richer story should be told--one that recognizes Indigenous mobility in terms of its benefits and not merely its costs. In their collective refusal to accept marginality and destitution on reservations, Native Americans used the urban relocation program to take greater control of their socioeconomic circumstances. Indigenous migrants also used the financial, educational, and cultural resources they found in cities to feed new expressions of Indigenous sovereignty both off and on the reservation.

The dynamic histories of everyday people at the heart of this book shed new light on the adaptability of mobile Native American communities. In the end, this is a story of shared experience across tribal lines, through which Indigenous people incorporated urban life into their ideas for Indigenous futures.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Miller's work is a model study on how to do research and write Native American history and is essential reading on twentieth-century Native America." —American Indian Quarterly

A significant contribution. . . . Indians on the Move does not provide an autopsy of VRP's failure. It tells the bigger story of Native Americans responding to VRP in ways that continue to strengthen their communities." —Journal of American History

An illuminating history. . . . The book is a worthwhile contribution to indigenous studies, migration studies, and American studies because it reconsiders history through the experiences of the humans who lived it and not just the systems that created it." —H-Migration

A fresh and fascinating book written in an accessible style that will be of interest for anyone interested in Native American culture, history, and research."—American Indian Culture and Research Journal

Indians on the Move is a needed contribution to the fields of Indigenous studies, mobility studies, and urban history. . . . It not only tells a wonderful history but also projects the future—one that is urban and Indigenous." —NAIS: Journal of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association

Using unique source materials and an agency-focused approach, this book generates a flexible, nuanced account of Native mobility and individual efforts toward maintaining practices of 'cosmopolitanism' that have always shaped indigenous cultures and histories." —CHOICE

Captures the humanity of indigenous determination to construct a duality that blended American Indian and Anglo-American culture while navigating the relocation program." —Chronicles of Oklahoma

In urban migration, Miller finds a creative process whereby Native people brought tribal and non-Indian spaces into dialogue with one another, and he suggests that this process forms a key source of Native resilience in contemporary America." —Ethnohistory

Review

This book represents a paradigm shift on how we understand Native mobility and spatiality within the field of American Indian and Indigenous studies." —Daniel M. Cobb, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
