"David DeJong's Paternalism to Partnership is a nifty cover-to-cover read, above and beyond its usefulness as a reference work. . . .

It is recommended as a possible companion to survey courses focused on federal Indian law and history to provide important contextual information for students. The chapters also contain information that scholars can expand upon in works with information that DeJong has helpfully provided in this text.

Orona, Journal of Arizona History
