- More about Bribed with Our Own Money: Federal Abuse of American Indian Funds in the Termination Era
Bribed with Our Own Money by David R. M. Beck examines the successes and failures of Indigenous nations' opposition to federal policy in the 1950s and 1960s, focusing on case studies from six Native nations. The book highlights the U.S. government's coercion of Native nations to accept termination of their political relationship with the United States by threatening to withhold tribal funds. Termination was part of a century-long policy to end the relationship and assimilate American Indians. Native nations sought greater self-governance and self-determination but wanted to do so under the protection of the federal trust relationship. Beck's book is the first to view federal termination efforts grounded in bribery as a form of coercion.

David R. M. Beck's book "Bribed with Our Own Money" examines the successes and failures of Indigenous nations' opposition to federal policy in the 1950s and 1960s. Beck focuses on case studies from six Native nations and recounts how the U.S. government coerced American Indian nations to accept termination of their political relationship with the United States by threatening to withhold money that belonged to the tribes. Termination was the continuation of more than a century of policy initiatives intended to end the political relationship between Indian tribal nations and the federal government. It was also intended to assimilate American Indian individuals into the country's social and economic culture and to remove the remainder of reservation lands from federal trust. American Indians hoped to gain greater opportunities of self-governance and self-determination, but they wanted to do so under the protection of the federal trust relationship. Beck's book is the first to view federal termination efforts grounded in bribery for what they were: a form of coercion.
