In this thesis, I try to come to an understanding of the logics behind the assimilation policy pursued by the US government in the late 19th century. I look at the consequences of the logics involved in this policy on interactional patterns in Indian-White relationships and how these are at play in contemporary society. Lastly, I consider the forces of empowerment arising on the reservation, such as the increasingly vocal Red Power Movement, and draw a parallell between collective and individual 'healing processes'.
