Grillot examines the collective and individual efforts that made survival possible on Standing Rock, one of the most understudied reservations despite being one of the best-known Native locations in the United States--Sitting Bull died there in 1890, and a protest camp organized there against the Dakota Access pipeline made international news in 2016. Yet this is a book not about famous people or events but about ordinary people confronted with a deceptively simple question: How can we be a family on the reservation? Integrating archival material, oral history, and fieldwork, Grillot tells the history of dozens of reservation-based Dakota and Lakota families from the beginning of the reservation era to today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Pursuit of Family\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how the Dakotas and Lakotas, tied by a common language and way of life, developed under the pressures of settler colonialism and shifted formations of kinship across time and space.
