Description: Dr. Jackson's text is an excellent current overview of the Yuchi People and culture in Oklahoma. While it does not delve deeply into their pre-Oklahoma history, nor even the details of the current politics, it does paint a very clear picture of the Yuchi people and their precarious existence as wards of the Creek Nation who are wards of the Federal government, as well as their staunch pride and traditionalism that has preserved this culture despite the forces bent on extinguishing it.
