Background
editBorn and raised in Wisconsin, U.S. he received a B.A., M.A. and Ph.D in political science (on a Ford Fellowship) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.[2] His doctoral study was interrupted with the onset of the Vietnam War to which he was drafted as a member of the U.S. Navy serving on USS Forrestal (CV-59) during the fire (1967-1968) as Division Officer. In 1986 he was an Instructor at the Chinese Ministry of Economic Affairs.
His book Menominee Drums, Tribal Termination and Restoration, 1954-1974 (University of Oklahoma Press), was a study of the termination and subsequent restoration of federal recognition of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin. His work with the Menominee Nation has continued, off and on, for over 30 years which led him to research Indian gaming and other areas of interest within American Indian Studies. He also researched and taught public management and administration, public policy analysis, and engaged in the development and application of complexity theory in the study of American Indian policy.[3]
