The Consistency and Inconsistency of Cultural Oppression: American Indian Dance Bans, 1900–1933.

Treglia, G.

Abstract

This article challenges the concept of a monolithic Bureau of Indian Affairs regarding assimilation policy and personnel by examining the rhetoric employed by policy makers to justify the Native American dance bans in the early twentieth century. It also examines the role of superintendents and agents in reinterpreting and implementing dance policy on reservations.
